What do they have in common?

They are all Japanese words! And also it really annoys me when people think I pronounce them properly when I can speak proper (though not very fluent anymore) Japanese!!

Just a couple of days ago, I was just telling my friend that it really annoys me that I now have to pronounce Karaoke as Ka-ree-okee and not Ka-ra-okeh just so people here can understand me! Argh! All the ang mohs like to say ka-ree-okee? WHY?? How/Where did they get the REE from the RA?

And Sake (the Japanese rice wine) is Sa-keh not Sa-kee! Argh! There was once my ex-boss and i had a conversation about Japan and I talked about sake and he gave me a blank look and he realised what i was talking about and said.. “Right, it’s sa-kee”.

Argh! No! You silly person! It’s Sa-keh! Argh!

And it’s Po-keh-mon not Po-Kee-Mon! Oh yeah, i had a friend who once told me he thought it was pronounced as POKE-MON as in .. poke you know? like in facebook? Poke? hahahahaha It was so funny!

Yeah speaking of Pokemon, I’ve recently started playing Pokemon Diamond on the DS lite because i’ve finished Hotel Dusk Room 215 (great game!). I didn’t think much of it at first and boy am i so wrong! It’s one of the best games ever! It’s just so fun catching and training the Pokemon and to put them up against other Pokemon! I have about 20 or so now and sometimes it’s so hard to choose which one i can put in my “pocket” because I like them all! hehe

And i like to give my Pokemon funny names.. well funny to me at least. I caught a Magikarp (it’s a fish) which is one of the worse Pokemon in the game but anyway, i named it ASSAM as in Assam Pedas cos we’ve been cooking them a lot at home recently! hahaha and then I named A Combee (which is a bee) – Honey and a Zubat which is a bat – Batty Suarez (Ugly Betty!) and a Psyduck (which is a duck) – Peiking.. u know.. like Peiking Duck hahahaha  Oh yeah and a mean looking piece of rock, Geodude – Pebble hehehe and an Onix (snake which has a rock body) – Igneous.. u know.. like Igneous rock hehe. Oh yeah and my latest edition, a balloon Pokemon, Drifloon – Poppy! LOL!
I named the rest after the dogs and cats here and also after some members of my family. hehe

I think I won’t be completing this game in a long time.. which is good because there are not much good DS games at the moment. I hate it when I run out of games to play…which means i’ll be stuck with More Brain Training .. which is a really good game but there is only about 6 or 7 different trainings I can have in a day so it can get kinda boring.. especially on a 45min commute to work and back!
