I went to Kenyalang Park this morning to get myself a copy of Still Fantasy by Jay Chou. So, I went to Happy Records and I asked the boy at the shop if they had the album. First I asked him in English because he didn't look like a Chinese but then he didn't even understand what was Jay Chou. So, I switched to speaking Mandarin to him. This is our conversation...Mandarin version of the Jay Chou fiasco at Kenyalang Park this morning...
我今晨去Kenyalang Park，并且这是什么那发生了。。。
我 : Do you have the latest Jay Chou album? Still Fantasy?
男孩: Chou, Chou, 什么思 Chou??
我 : 您有 Zhou Jie Lun 最新的册页?
男孩: Har? 最新的册页?最新的 歌曲是它 ha?
我 : Zhou Jie Lun lah。 Still Fantasy 册页 ah!
男孩: 马! 是新 Zhou Jie Lun 歌曲??
妈 : 您要求我??! 您要求我??! 怎么我会知道!
男孩: 抱歉，它不。
我 : 你能确定吗??
妈 : 女孩，您寻找什么？
我 : Zhou Jie Lun 最新的册页。
妈 : Oh! (轮到她的儿子和推挤他的头。。。) 得到! 得到! 在这! 您愚笨的男孩! 人们请求您请求我的最新的册页，当最新的歌曲出来时! 您的如此普通话坏! 更是研究! (再推挤她的儿子的头。。。)
