Lost in Mandarin Pronounciation!
I was checking my designers work at her PC and I feel that the AutoCAD furniture template (we have a directory of furniture block, basically a pre-drawn furniture in plan and elevation to make our life easier) that she choose need to be changed. She’s doing a furniture layout with a Victorian concept but she pluged in a modern furniture! I’m trying to communicate with her ’bout this for 10 mins!
Althought I’m not a fluent speaker yet, but I expect I will be after a few months pass. It is not just fluent in Mandarin, but also being able to decipher the Mandarin that lurks below the thick Shanghai accents!

Behind The Scene
My name is Bibi Liew and I'm a third-generation oversea Chinese. I'm born on the 3rd of November and that makes me a typical Scorpio. I stayed in several countries and ended up in Shanghai for reasons that are still not entirely clear to myself... I came to China and work as an Expatriate in 2004. I am an Interior Architect and design Hotels and Club Houses in many Cities in China. Ron and I will relocate to Nanchang in March 2010 and I'll be a WAHM!
