Didnt read any posts other than the first xD

But I dont write cursive (Or 'joined up' as it's called over here x_x) I print my words, and I spell wrong alot on the computer. But not to much real life.

I love it because EVERY teacher has asked me to try cursive but then gives up after a week or so. (And yeah, my handwriting sucks. But I can make it smart :3 tho it takes longer)

It's only useful for signatures. Standard print is faster, and much more legible.

I beg to differ. All my writing is in cursive. I am VERY slow at writing in print.

I always use cursive when I'm close to falling asleep in class.

O m g. Was that the ms hong kong thing? I received a forward from dad's friends (=.=) about it. I usually delete all the forwards but I randomly decided to click that one to read. Hahaha.

LMAOMALMLOAMLAMOAMAOO I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND YOU!!!!

<-- does that too.

When I write neatly on purpose, I print.

When I write lecture notes, I print + cursive.

When I'm about to sleep, all cursive (or drawing squiggly lines)

Yeah! have you got a copy?!? still got it? I wanna see it xD

It was read out when i heard it so i didnt get to see the words she used xD

Kk, this was what the thing was about:

"港姐投訴信，勁考你中英文能力呀！今屆參選港姐有人投訴無線評判不禮貌對待，寫信去傳媒投訴不公平，如果你英文及廣東話都掂，請翻譯，小弟將不吝加分，投訴信原文："

I can't read all of it, but I think one of the participants for Ms Hong Kong sent in a complaint about the judges (?) being impolite, unfair, or something to that extent.

Complaint:

我是 Lucy, I went to Miss Hong Kong first interview. Wah d judges very not polite and not nice law. Today I see a megazine saying this year's Girls so ugly. I saw many good and pretty girls there but they didn't choose ja ma. Don't choose mei suen law but the judge in first interview-- most very not polite to many young girls and to to me law. I only 18 the judges ask me to"why join Miss HK go and why not study la u only F7 ja wor how can fright with other wor." Also say my English bad… hurt die me.

Waste time!

Some translations:

我是 = I am
博士 = umm.. some university degree I think?

For those who don't know chinese, you probably would barely understand it at all. A lot of the words are actually chinese but they are the pronunciations of the chinese words, haha.

Makes me wonder why she didn't stick to writing in Chinese, if she really wanted to complain and this wasn't a joke.

Alright I decided to do a translation.

I am Lucy and I went to the first interview for Miss Hong Kong. The judges are very impolite and are not very nice.

Today I see a megazine saying this year's Girls so ugly. I saw many good and pretty girls there but they didn't choose ja ma.
Today, I saw a magazine that said this year's girls were so ugly. I saw lots of pretty girls there but they just didn't choose them.

Don't choose mei suen law but the judge in first interview--
I don't have a clue what she's saying here.

most very not polite to many young girls and to to me law.
Most of the judges were not polite to the younger girls and to me too.

I only 18 the judges ask me to"why join Miss HK go and why not study la u only F7 ja wor how can fright with other wor."
I am only 18 and the judges asked me why did I join Miss HK and why I am not studying instead, since I wouldn't be able to compete with other people anyway (I think that's what she's saying.. I dunno what F7 is)

Also say my English bad… hurt die me.
No translation needed. Just....HURT DIE ME!!! :cries:

Ho La, other girl tell me la, she study in University ok ga dou but little fat or short then the judge(woman) said " why you look fat or so short!" wah ho hurt ga ma.
Another girl told me she studies at a university. She's a little fat and short but the judge (a woman) said "Why are you so fat and short!" Wah, it really hurts you know.

One girl is a博士 student ar very high level and very nice ga dou cant get in second interview la. We think she will be in ga but she said no law.
This one girl is a (-insert a high university degree-) student and was very nice but didn't get into the second interview either. We thought she would get in but she said no.

You can search her pic and my pic to see la.
You can find her picture and my picture to see.

She gum high level duo ng dak, gum me ng duk duo rite gei but i think the whole choosing is not fair law, choose model mei? young yao inch', high study level yao inch...
She's at a "high level" in study, but she still didn't make it. I think the whole selection process was not fair. They only choose models. They disqualify young ones, the smart ones... (I don't know what "inch" is.. I'm guessing it means disqualify)

They onky choose rich girl law so bad.
They only choose rich girls. SO BAD LOR!

We don't go and let them inch ga law if they need tall or high level people then why not put in the application form lei.
We don't go in to let them "inch" us. If they need tall or "high class" people, then why don't they just put it in the application form?

Waste time!
Waste of time!

dou ng fair gei!
It's not even fair!

u can email me if u want.
You can email me if you want.

Lucy
FOB.

广东话 D:

The only thing I could translate was...

Wah d.

LMAO

博士 = Masters

But that's such a laugh LOL

I didnt know people could type like that xD

EDIT:

Don't choose mei suen law
Fine if you don't choose me

F7 = Form 7, so like Year 12?

Inch = Mean.

We don't go and let them inch ga law
We didn't enter to have them talk us down / be mean to us
