Tai Ji

I was on a quest to find out how to write Taiji in Chinese this afternoon.
Taiji as in the wushu form....Tai Ji Quan.

I honestly thought it'd be an easier job asking my colleagues that trawling the Internet for those translation sites.

I asked Sand. Who gave me a blank look. Err......
And then proceeded to scribble something the likes of 泰级.......
And then we realised...hmm....that doesn't look right...Isn't the 泰 supposed to be 泰国 as in the country Thailand??
Ok, thought I'd better move on...NEXT....

I asked Kel, the potato who is on a quest to master Chinese. He's been so into speaking Mandarin lately that he just brings us to stitches with his English-accented Mandarin.
I thought he might have improved a wee bit and impressed me with an answer...
He gave me his best answer...spoken with his best Mandarin accent..(which still sounded astutely English anyway...lol) : "我不知道!"

I went to Xiao Mei...our little temp girl...who could only grin at me...
Gosh, and to think each of us spent at least 10 years learning the language when we were in school.

I didn't think of KH at all...but decided to ask her when I walked past her desk.
And she wrote this for me....太极
I picked up my paper and unwittingly scoffed at it..."Eh, you sure or not? Looks weird ley??!!"
"Hmmm, ok...Let's go check on Google..."

Wah lau...she was right!!! Smart girl.
I know who to look for when I need to do translation liao...
hahha.....

Oh yah, I forgot to share. The purpose of asking how the words are written....was cos I wanted it on my MSN nick...
超级无敌。。。太极选手。。。

Dedicated to another colleague of mine of whom I shall not mention.
Hmm mmm...
