Yes, it's great not being able to communicate with your mum properly. ;)

Don't you speak Mandarin/Cantonese?

Yes, Cantonese badly. Can't read or write Chinese either. I know the following characters and that's probably it, might be a few more.

Oh, and my chinese name..... no, wait, actually I've forgotten how to write that as well.

Doesn't really bother me, although I suspect it bothers my parents.
