B-a-n-a-n-a
What's with me and bananas these days? Hmmm.... pretty bored of it already actually. Well for the pass 2 weeks, that had become my subject matter for my Design Fundamental assignment- a bunch of banana, banana skin, inside of banana, simplified banana, exagerated banana, distorted banana... I wonder what other aspect of banana I've missed out. Because of this assignment, I've made my family eat bananas for the past 2 weeks....*blek*...
Talking about banana. Come to think about it, I'm sorta a banana as well, yellow on the outside white on the inside. Although I can understand a little sum of Chinese, but conversing vice I can be rather hopeless. And sadly, recently I found out that in some ways I was misjudged for being a banana. Well, now I know the existence of people who has the perception that I view myself as one class higher than chinese educated people. Just because I don't talk that much to people who speaks Chinese, I give them the impression that I'm unsocialble and reserved only to my own kind. What justice does this do to me? I don't speak that much because I can't convey well in Chinese, NOT because I think that I'm better than them. I don't want to start blabling all the Chinese words with funny little rhythms and make a fool out of myself. Sad to know this was how some people thought about me. Now, I've tried conversing a little bit more in Chinese when I feel like it.... not perfect but at least I tried....*blek*

Maybe, just maybe this is God's way of preparing me to get into the Chinese Ministry in church. What had happen actually urged me to speak more chinese. Maybe, just maybe one of these days, I will be able to have a decent conversation with all the aunties and uncles in chinese church. Having a heart is one thing, having the ability to relate to the people is another. So, maybe this is one way God is preparing me for a deeper work in the Chinese Ministry and I'm looking forward to it....=)
Now someone please tell me, Is it wrong to be a b-a-n-a-n-a?
