and hereby I upload some sounding syllables...

Introduction

The tone of a syllable can be the difference in meaning between two otherwise similar sounding syllables. Most Hakka dialects have six tones. The Shatoujiao Hakka in this site also has six tones. There are two type of tones, legato, and staccato. Hakka legato tones end in vowels, or nasal endings of the types /-m/, /-n/ or /-ng/. Hakka staccato tones are abrupt in quality, and associated by an occlusive ending of the types, /-p/, /-t/ or /-k/.

Example :

Readings of the same tone

Below, the table shows examples of character of the same tone type in Hakka. I have deliberately made the examples such that there are example of vowel, nasal and occlusive endings. Real Audio files are provided.

Life with our beloved

Once i have come over these pictures and it does trigger some of my thoughts.
Read through and ponder about life with our parents

When you are still very young..


They spend a lot of time,
to teach you how to use spoon and chopstick to eat.


teach you how to wash your face,
teach you to comb your hair.


Teach you to wipe your nose,
teach you to wipe your buttock.


teach you to wear clothes,
tie your shoe,
and clothes button


Teach you the moral of being a useful person.


Do you still remember that you always force and ask them,
to tell you where you actually from.

Do you still remember,

the first childhood song that you practice and learn?

Therefore...

therefore,

when the day they become old...

When they started to use their meal but leave dirtiness in their clothes...

When they always mumbling and repeat their old grandmother stories...

Please do not reprimand nor angry them...

When they forget how to pin in their clothes' button and tie their shoe tie...

When they can't remember or can't follow up the talk...

When they combing their hair,
hands shivers non-stop...

Please do not rush nor push them,
because when you're slowly grown up,
simultaneously, they slowly grown old.

It's only when you're in front of their eye...

They heart will felt very warm and loved

Please hold their hand,
and slowly accompany them to walk through the path...

As if...

As if the younger year where they hold your hand,
just like how you going to hold your family.

After you read this and you have not express your love
to your lovely Parents,

If they are just nearby you,
Please give them a sweet hug,
a kiss,
and tell them...
"I Love You, Mom and Dad"

If they are far away from you,
Please take out your mobile phone,
tell them that,
"I Love You, Mom and Dad"

If they are really far away on the other dimension,
Please use your heart,
tell them that,
"I Love You, Mom and Dad"

If you do it now,
you will never know,
after 20,30,40,50 years later
your sons,
your daughters,
will tell you that,
"I Love You, Mom and Dad"

I respect her !

Take a look urself what a woman without hands can do...

Whateva~

I really enjoy this!

and the below one is after 15 years~

While I was in Philippine.....

On the 3 December 2007, Myself plus my family members + my aunt take off from Malacca about 3.30 in the morning, and our AirAsia plane is around 7.20 in the morning. We reach LCCT airport about 5.20 morning.

When we reach the terminal, as usual we rush to the counter to check in so that we still have the time to have our breakfast. Somehow, this senario happened.

After slow long waiting to reach our turn, I ponder around and see if I could find something to eat as I'm totally HUNGRY(~ woot like Chinese Ghost Festival de Hungry Ghost~)
When it's our turn, I put up the luggage up the weighting place. Then that meter shows it's 18kgs. Then the counter's guy start to chicken up and say cannot more then 15kgs la..zz because my sister bought the ticket individually while my parents, aunt and I in another same group.

last time we did it the same thing, but they didnt Kao pe so much about it. now? @!#%#last time we did it the same thing, but they didnt Kao pe so much about it. now? @!#%#$&... LAME.. then my sister and mum have to take out things from the luggage and stuck in other beg in that LCCT.. so many people ok?
amp;... LAME.. then my sister and mum have to take out things from the luggage and stuck in other beg in that LCCT.. so many people ok?

Then ok, after 20 minutes packing, then have to queue again, waste another 30minutes ! Fuck la..
then that I take the beg up again to the weighting machine. I took the 36kgs+ beg up then that bugger said...
"NO NO NO NO, CANNOT OVER 30KGS AT ONE BAG."
ah.. Fukkkkk... i have to take down again then repack! OI 36KGS YOU THINK LIGHT A? duh...
then waste time again.. ok nvm.. i tahan u!
After ready and queue again, then that sohai said, this 2 must put at another place.. AH?! WHAT THE HELL? WANT ME TAKE DOWN AND PUT UP AT ANOTHER PLACE AGAIN?! 30+ KGS OK?

Lesson : 1)EVERYONE CAN FLY, BUT THEY WILL MAKE YOU "DIE".
2)EVERYONE CAN FLY, BUT THEIR SERVICE KA NA SAI!

Stop those bad memories and start up the story when I reached Philippine at 11.45 morning as the time there. We reach the Clarke Field which is 2 hours car distance to the capital, Manila.

My family and I get up to a bus which direct us to Manila Megamall for Pesos 350. Currently RM1 = about 12Pesos. On the way there, I saw PIG PIG PIG XD alot of pig on the lorry~ and padi field.



When we're reaching the Makati, Manila. We passes through this bar, Those BRAs and PANTIEs catch my attention.. They just put it anywhere they want! Even up the roof!!


One more thing, when the bus moved into the city, my aunt and I spotted an uncle "release water" at the road side.. OH MY GOD... Shock of my life..
Too bad i cant photo shoot it as the bus passes by very swiftly.


This is their mini bus. As this is an influence from the western country when Philippine were being control by them. At first i wanted to try to sit on it, but my sister told me that there were a group of Korean being robbed and killed by the driver.

Why? Because Philippino Hates Korean and Japanese ~

This is how's their city's wiring is really dangerous! Woot.. anytime will explode !
