Thanks Glenn! Too much Japanese classes and chit-chats with my Chinese classmates made me forget English at one point in time. So I decided to write a bilingual blog and draw bilingual comics!

My English is near native, we actually use it as the main communication language in my country, which means all our classes from young are conducted in English. Our mother tongues are taught separately due to our multi-racial culture, so that's why we're mostly bilingual or more. Unfortunately, my Chinese is not as good as people from China and Taiwan due to lack of practice and our environment.
BTW, any idea if signatures will only appear on the first reply and subsequently disappear? Or did my signature had broken any rules? I find this forums very strict.

No problem.
Singapore, eh? And you write in Traditional Chinese? That seems strange to me, but maybe I just don't know enough about Singapore.

Yeah~you're right! We learn simplified Chinese but because when I was studying in SF, my close friends were all from Taiwan, so I started to write a comic blog in the Taiwanese blogging platform窶督ｳ窶督ｼ. Hence my habit to use traditional Chinese.No problem.

I'd stopped updating that blog because I had moved to blogspot to target English audiences back in Singapore~

Although, in the course of reading about Chinese historical figures and Chinese history in general, I had always thought it would be cool to be able to read it in the original (or at least in Chinese haha). Plus the total difference in the grammar from Japanese, at least in terms of inflection (lots in Japanese, none in Chinese) was something that intrigued me. I wanted to learn how it worked. Aside from that, I guess I just found it fascinating for some reason. Although it'll probably take a few years, I plan on doing some Korean after I feel fairly good about Mandarin, and I'd like to learn some Cantonese too (and Vietnamese and Thai would be interesting as well). Since all of those languages are in the Sinosphere, or at least have been influenced by it if even indirectly, I'm curious to know how they're similar and different. I guess I just like learning and comparing languages.
Ha, I'm glad I gave up trying to write all that in Chinese. I'm not at that level yet!

A roll of the dice, eh? Hmm... Well, I was playing the lottery. haha
I wonder if that time restriction is there because you're a new member. I know new members have other restrictions, like not being able to post URLs or pictures, but I hadn't heard about this one.

Ya when you win lottery don't forget us!
New members seem to have a lot of restrictions, and like what uncle frank would say, everything is set by the system to bla bla bla bla bla~~~
a measure to nurture long-term forum members and get rid of short-term spectators

Ha, well, I haven't played in a while.
Well, it's mostly to discourage the spammers, like the ones who just want to make tons of posts about cheap, illegal goods or post disgusting pictures of people being tortured as examples of why Japanese people are evil, for instance. That happens fairly frequently, actually.
