July 21, 2008 at 11:32 AM老师们，你们好。我很喜欢这个课程，真是很有意思。通常我不敢接近高级的课程， 可是我觉得这一个题目太有趣了。我很高兴地告诉你们我大部分都听得懂（我进步了吗？如果真是啦，我应该说谢谢）。
Sorry, I have to type in English now, my Chinese is not that 高级 yet. How about a sequel or sequels to this, detailing the labour, the experience with the 月嫂，the 老公's experience, the difficulty encountered with babycare, breastfeeding, etc.? That would be something to look forward to. :-)

July 19, 2008 at 4:18 PMHehe, Auntie... so, do you consider yourself high-maintenance or not? What about you, Jenny, having lived in Singapore and Shanghai? Tell the truth please, although you both don't sound like you are at all. That's a compliment, by the way...;D

July 17, 2008 at 5:10 PMvann0000, I am getting hungry just reading your post, so after this I am going to start preparing dinner (not chicken rice unfortunately, just tofu and some veg). Thanks for your description of how authentic hainanese chicken rice is supposed to be prepared. It is almost exactly as how I've known it to be, except for the sauces which sound delicious. Cheers!

July 17, 2008 at 4:58 PMHi, shuang! I enjoyed reading your post. I think you really must be a good teacher if your manner in class is as natural, lively and spontaneous as your post. All the best, and I hope to make it to Beijing one day (hopefully in the not too distant future)!

July 17, 2008 at 9:33 AMWow! Lots of useful vocab in this lesson, but it's quite long and will take me a while to assimilate all the 生词 as I'm not really at this level yet, but I've understood the audio and it's great. I liked the 吃饱了没事干 and Jenny's explanation to John how difficult it is for a non-Chinese to understand why people say this. My mum used to say a cruder version of this when she was not happy about people idling their time away. See if anyone can guess it. It begins the same way followed by 等 。。。

July 16, 2008 at 3:47 PMAcorrigan, I think the origins of this yummy chicken rice is definitely Hainanese, but I've heard that the Malaysian/Singapore dish is far superior in flavour. I haven't tasted the original one from Hainan but the Malaysia/Singapore one is certainly delicious. Across the board, the Singapore one tastes better than the Malaysian one.
