Help!!! What we call this in Mandarin? Hokkien? Cantonese?

Posted by CS

I believe, because of our life style in the bz city, it is difficult for us to balance between the bz working life with the healthy life style...

It is difficult for me too.... A lot of time, I work late... surving net late night... and blog late too... It is not healthy at all...

But thing changed after my wife is pregnant. Now I know I must take a good care of myself and my health. Else how I am able to taken care both of them in the future.

Since then, we will go to the store near to the Batik Store, Pulau Tikus to get our favourite fruit juice there.

Yes... we get there from Sg. Dua just to get the fresh fruit juice....

Our favourite is Dragon fruit mixed with pineapple. But that day, no dragon fruit, wo we choose beetroot instead.

What is beetroot?? See below lor...

Beetroot in plant

But hor, what is the Mandarin name for beetroot? How about Hokkien, or Cantonese... Anyone know?

Tell me tell me tell me.... PLS....................

less and x-less

Posted by CS

Honestly, I am not good in English vocab and I believe most of you might had notice that. I am on my way of improving to be better and better.

For me, language is just a tool to communicate between 2 party or more. It served it purpose as long as the one listening or reading knowing what you are trying to tell. Right?

Few days back, while we are having meeting with the team members of my company, the chairperson is sharing her laptop while capturing meeting minutes. We did discuss about to submit something without the quantity on it which might lead to some issue.

So she is trying to use some fancy language which making sense to me, this is what she wrote.

To check if the submission with quantityless is doable.

Had u notice anything? Ya right, the quantityless...

Right after she type this, one of my good friend tot that it is less quantity which is not the actual meaning on what we had discussed. So he pointed out and ask her to change to without quantity.

So I am wonder if this is the correct vocab by using the -less at the end of word to make it a negative statement?

Anyone can help on this? I really wan to know..

Paperless => without paper
Speechless => nothing to tell
Careless => didn't care

Quantityless ==> Anyone can help?

Latest news.....

An eye witness said that she was grabbed by 2 guys, ethnic Chinese into a car which had another guy also ethic Chinese whom was in the drives seat. She described the man whom grabbed Dora as fat while the other was thin and tall (no further description was given-this general description might not be very helpful) As the incident was so sudden and unexpected, they only managed to collect that they were driving a Silver Toyota Camry (plate number 7641)
