I was managing a media interview by Frontline (Channel 8) yesterday when the producer started lamenting about not being able to get Singaporeans to agree to quick interviews on the street. The second criteria of Singaporeans who can speak fluent Mandarin made it even tougher.

So guess who did a street interview with them in Mandarin? 😅

It was a fun experience, putting my bilingualism to test.  The producer was happy with my answers (had to use some English terms here and there as the brain couldn’t think fast enough on the spot) and I wonder if it could be that the benchmark is too low. 😂

Also a reminder that it’s been a while since I pick up a Chinese book to read. A trip to the library soon is needed.
