Reeny needs to rant!
Yes, I do!
I’m becoming a victim… and you know why? It’s because of people who have no ability to use English language at all! When I say have no ability to use English, I meant can’t even understand, read, write, speak or communicate in English language at all!
I know I probably sound very racist but if you read further, you will understand why I am so angry.
CASE SCENERIO ONE
I was asked to help this lady who doesn’t understand English at all to fill in a form.
Yes I can help you but how many times can I help you? You mean, I can always be there for you and I’m like your freaking babysitter who takes care of your life? You take advantage of the fact that you think I need to pity you for not understanding English. It’s annoying when you tell me you need to get things done and yet you’re dependent. If you can’t even take good care of your own life, then don’t do things that you can’t handle!
In actual fact, I do not pity you for your misfortune because I believe that you asked for it and probably deserved it.
CASE SCENERIO TWO
I’ve been told by work migrants that they want a better life, which is why they migrate to Australia (and they can’t speak Engish).
I think this is all bullshit. You came here to torture yourself. You came here for the MONEY. Just say it! Migrating here just make you become a loner (if you can’t speak the local language, how are you gonna make friends?)!
If you want a better life, then LEARN how to say the following words ‘I WANT A BETTER LIFE’ loud and clear, rather than hiding behind me, whispering me to my ears with another language and expecting me to HELP you tell the world what you want them to do with you.
Open your eyes and see what is around you. Do you even deserve me to tell you what you can do with life?
CASE SCENERIO THREE
A lady turned up in a three shop Northbridge (The three company workers obviously can speak and need English for their work description) because she can’t understand what the person on the phone asked her through three customer care service.
She expected the poor lady who works there to translate for her what the guy on the phone asked her AND she freaking forgot her 4 digit pin number! She can’t even remember her mom’s maidan name?! WTF?! The worker there is merely a three shop worker and translation, I believe, is not part of her job.
Some people are paid to handle customers like you but please, go learn SOME English before heading over here and turn your life into a disaster.
AND don’t go around complaining that because you had no choice blah blah blah you had to come here blah blah blah. Don’t disgrace yourself. Before you criticise someone, criticise yourself first. You chose this to happen, so accept the hardship involved. Don’t take things for granted!
-x-
I think those people should either…
Go back to where they come from or,
Go learn English.
I admire those who go and take English lesson and to try their best to fit in with the environment, rather than those we expect people to fit in with THEIR environment.
The world doesn’t evolve around you!
i second whatever you just ranted. why make ur life harder by not learning english. at least try!

hey irene =P clicked ur link off andus blog haha, it’s the midget mel btw
& I have to warn you; I caught your ranting disease so here goes…
I can understand ur frustration towards those FOBs ay…I’m not a very big fan of them either…My biggest problem with them is not their English, because clearly, everyone has the right to be able to learn whatever they choose to take a dive into…and admittedly, my Chinese isn’t in tiptop condition either…it’s very very VERY far from it. My problem is the fact that most of them CHOSE to expose themselves in this culture, yet they are still so rigid and reserved. If you are going to move out of your country, out of your traditions and culture, and into a different one then you should not only be able to share your own beliefs in order to be better understood but also learn to embrace, and not necessarily accept but at least try to understand the new ones.

I think you are just fucking childish and stupid to make this blog entry! Why would someone want to migrate if not for the better future of their KIDS and family!!! yes it might be the wrong of the lady who did not learn english but she might have her own fears and hurdle herself to overcome and if u can help ..why not ? does it kill you to help her? and you could have choose not to help and tell the lady off AND stop your childish ranting here. unless this lady is ur close kin and will it kill or harm you if you have offered your help. Please grow up from you selfish and childish way.if not for this lady would you be what you are now!!!!
Comment by For you to find out — August 13, 2008 @ 8:21 pm
Well let you tell you smth, smarty pants! I am a Chinese and I’m very very proud of it! I’m not trying to be racist here but for you to think I’m childish is just your opinion and I accept that for sure.
To be very honest, I DID help that lady. Not once but many times. I’m someone who finds it hard to reject people. BUT that lady took that advantage and made use of me to get her way.
It doesnt kill me or harm me to OFFER my help, of course. I would OFFER. But what if I was ASKED to do it?
It is just like someone asking you for the same sort of favours all the time. I don’t think you will understand how I feel cause you’re not me. And because you’re probably someone close to the description of that “lady” for you to say that. You’ve totally misunderstand the POINT of this entry. Yes, it is for me to rant but I just wanted express my discomfort.

its funny how people want to comment yet too afraid to show who they are, if you have the guts to post a comment then put your name next to what you said, because right now.. you seem like a fkn coward to me.. NOTHING more.. nothing you said had any credibility so STFU and maybe you should grow up to start with,
if … if you cant speak a language but chose to move to the country let it be Australia or Japan or anywhere in the world then you SHOULD take the initiative to LEARN THE LANGUAGE not rely on someone else to do your dirty job or shit that you cant fkn do because you fail to take the first step to learn the language,
dont complain that you cant understand, no one was born a genius, i wasnt born with the ability to speak multiple language.. you F U C K I N G LEARN! get it?
So if you have nothing good to say then fuck off because cowards ain’t welcomed here

not at all. you see he/she/no sex is embarrased to show IT’s name probably because IT’s english is BAD??
I mean man.. didn’t see reeny mention anything about child and family.. and and grammar is abit =.=
but can’t blame “IT” for trying to save FACE.. since I’m presuming that this issue touches IT’s sensitive black past!!
