Dewy-eyed


Hits @ Astro has provided amongst others my favorite family drama when I was growing up such as Little House on The Prairie. Well done.

I am happy that I can watch Mind Your Language rerun already in its Season 2 on Hits 😊. However, it should be rated as X or at least 18+, in a way that underage persons are not allowed to watch! During those days many were not aware how outlandish the sitcom was. The girls from France and Sweden caused chaos in class vying for their teacher’s attention and the guys would be watching their shapes or vital statistics in class and often teasing them with language only adult could understand.

There is religious and political tension led to infighting which is all happening in that series. Now I understand the dispute between persons from Punjab and Pakistan calling each other infidels and even from Italy and Spain where they fight on how entrench their Catholic beliefs are, China and Japan with their communism anti imperialism stance versus democratic ideologies. When it comes to the industrial trade aspect, the Japanese student rightly said that Japan produced excellent automobile, home appliances, camera down to calculator, of course at that time. German efficiency is also propagated by the German student only to be frowned at. In addition, the Brits i.e. the school’s Headmistress, caretaker and waiter are understandably royalties’ fanatics but then they are unafraid to poke fun on them, imagine putting the royal couple faces on the gents and ladies washrooms, so hilarious and that made my day! Nevertheless, there is no other series in terms of teaching of English that matches this.

By and large each time after watching this sitcom gives me the nostalgic sense as the coming together of many races in one show describes that we were already globalized in the late 70s.

My current stint with the ILO Asia and Pacific Region office located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as its freelance translator and interpreter has provided me with an insight of the informal economy that accounts for jobs that are neither taxed nor monitored by the authorities, and that make up a...

It goes with lentil bean as the inner gravy and olive oil poured on the dosa. My favourite drink is its special filter Arabica coffee bean with fresh goat milk.
