I think all the libra male scales need to be calibrated by the cosmic powers above.

There's a silly bridge in Southbank, across the Yarra River, where there are glass plaques of various countries with inscriptions on them. For Singapore, there's the totally misinformed data that the Chinese living there are Hokkiens. Fireman looked at that, turned to me, looked at me funny, and declared loudly for everyone on the bridge to hear, "Why, you are a Hokkien noodle, my love!"
Talk about romantic.
Why don't you correct him and say: I'm a cantonese rice, you dumbass!

Actually Li Ka Shing isn't Cantonese, he's Teochew

I confirm your doubts that it's not 'pure'.
However, as long as the Hong Kongers and Vietnamese Chinese who also speak Cantonese can understand me, that's good enough.
When my PRC colleague told me that my spoken Mandarin is "hen hao", I almost melted into the ground!
Yeah... flattery gets you everywhere! 
My china lingo can get me around.....as far as yi, er, san and wo zhai nah li is concerned. -

I'm not Cantonese leh!
It was quite irritating being called "Hokkien Noodle" by him. The thing about Libra men is, the more pissed off you are with them, the more tenacious they become at irritating you. I have the dubious luck of having Libra ex's.
Now, before anything else, I make sure that the man isn't a Libra first. -

Believe it, k. Bear's Teochew is powerful. I think his vocabulary for swear words in dialects is ... impressive.

Oh my gosh... and STILL, your scales require calibration?
Must be some huge manufacturing fault!

Must have picked up from the govt conscript forces. -
Speaking of lightning strikes, it makes me think of electricity voltages and I recently had a farmer who accidentally touched a live wire one day and the current went right through him and out through his big toe on the right foot, which makes him one lucky man because the only damage he suffered was an amputated big toe.

Anyways, I love my colleagues who swear. They are usually the more sincere peeps. That's probably why I like to watch Gordon Ramsey at work too... he's so frank, and he swears like a sailor, but he's often right and very sharp in his judgement of people. People who swear at work are more likely the roll-up-your-sleeves and just start working kinda wholesome folk.

You probably should log off and head to bed. Sometimes, all you need is a good night's rest...

Swearing is ok for me when it comes to happy, back-slapping moments.But if we're doing serious things, like say operations out at sea, I don't like to use use expletives and I don't like to hear it.
It clouds intentions at the most crucial moments.

Did you drink enough water? Dehydration is often the most common cause of headaches.
-
I think I shall be a good girl, save up, and someday, head over to Nobu Restaurant at Crown Casino, and sample a few dishes that made the place famous.
Don't know why but suddenly, I had visions of lovely pink, marbled beef, sliced thinly, the way I saw it in an episode of Iron Chef. -
Hey, stella, your best friend is complaining about SMRT at shoutbox.
