LIANE

Sunday, 2 Sept 07

This morning, we hit out to Burger King for breakfast. We bumped into Liane (the 3.5 yr old's teacher) & her family.

LIANE - I usually pronounced it "Lian". I
guess this is the Hokkien Style?

But no, the 3.5 yr old corrected me "Mummy, it's Le-Ann not Lian."

Wow, the 3.5 yr old is good. Thanks for the tip, my gal.
I realised today that we didn't send you to an "expensive school" for nothing. At least, she's got better diction, pronunciation and oral skills that her mummy.

Actually, I seem to have some troubles pronouncing certain words eg: film, tent (I would always pronounce tank instead), handsome (I always say "Ham-some")... and the most shameful bit is this, I scored a Distinction for English in my O-levels.

Maybe I should see a Hearing Aid Doc with my year end bonus (just to make sure that I'm suffering from any disorder).
