So Obama won the election and becomes the first black president. That’s good. Heard alot of good things about him, from his policies to his tan. As I was having my dinner just now, I had some random thoughts coming in. Presidents of the United States of America. I am a very channel 8 person, so I used to watch the chinese news alot and I know the political figures by their chinese (translated) names.

 

Bush = 布史 (that’s the original one)

 

But I have this habit of “modifying” people’s names… so I called him… 不死. This was ok… until his son became president as well… so we had more fun, because it’s not easy to differentiate both presidents (having the same name) in mandarin. So we referred them as, 小不死 and 老不死.

 

Now with this new president, his chinese translated name isn’t too confusing. But if you say it too quickly (or maybe you have food in your mouth), I think it’s going to sound like Ohmama or Osama…

 

Alright folks, enough work for today. Going to sleep now.
