Was up early. Managed to get cleaned well. Reached the hospital circa 7:30am and came home at 11am. Blood test was okay. Check the results later and hope it comes up okay. Liew witches shot me thru the arm but its bearable. Later, will be going out for lunch with the folks. Mom gave me $100 so I now have 1.5kRM which is enough for something nice. I only have about 350RM in my wallet tho.
There are Mac Mini M1s going for 1kRM. But I think I'll pass. Will try to write an e-book teaching Mandarin Chinese. Or maybe just a printed one. I need to buy a Chinese newspaper to get started. The best things are free!
Liew witches gave away my e-book but I still want to test my theory of learning Chinese so I may publish a printed copy. I bought yesterday's Guang Ming (my name and my deceased brother's name) Daily. The ABY was 10e yesterday "Success Always Begins With You". And in it are things about printing and typesetting. Even tho today is 11e, somehow I got the last copy of yesterday's Chinese daily. Amazing providence of the Lord.
So the book is very simple. I will be picking phrases from the newspaper with my iPad's OCR and when I get a couple hundred useful ones, I will sit down and write the shorthand / beginner's notation below them. In order that the accents are represented, there will be an angle on top of the bounding circles, as well as a vowel identifier built in. That's about it -nothing fancy. Just will take a whole day of donkey work.
