He asked in Mandarin.
Supposedly replying in Mandarin, saying "bu zhi dao". I hesitated a while and answered, "I don't know."
The Mandarin verse just didn't came to me and I felt so weird. How could it happen when I have spoken Mandarin for almost 18 years?
I told KK. She told me to stop pretending to be a banana. Grrr.
I tried to explain to myself that maybe I woke up today setting my mode to "english" cuz I expected everyone to converse in the language and nothing but that language only today. But I don't think I'd take that excuse since I've spoken Mandarin for almost 18 years, it should naturally come to me, and not with hesitant and ended up not even remembering the most basic sentence!
To come to the think of it, it kind of troubles me quite a bit. Why is this happening?
