Towkay Ho Seh Boh?

上星期六我去了MPH书局一趟...

在那边我买了几本英文书, 而让我感觉最特别的一本书就是这本, Towkay Ho Seh Boh? 看过新加玻电影的朋友, 应该知道这是什么意思吧?

突然间在书局里看到这本书, 我真的是被它的书名给吸引到了! 看过里面的文章之后, 我决定买下了!

Towkay Ho Seh Boh? How to become a successful Towkay. The first Singlish and Hokkien Book of Business Lessons.

让大家看看里面的目录吧! 你们看, 都是那些福建话的解说哦! 有Si Mi Si Business (是不是生意), En Chiat Kor, Mian Kang Kor (能吃苦, 以后不会辛苦), Mai Zuo Lao Gao (不要做猴子), 等等的福建话.

这本书提供读者们一个成为Towkay的真实画面, 并告诉读者关于Towkay的基本价值观念和思维方式. 这本书将以新加玻的福建话来解说, 让读者们能够以最舒服的情况下阅读.

这本书的里面也涵有不少的图画, 以解释如何做个成功的Towkay! 呵呵, 要做个成功的Towkay, 是要"爱拼才会赢", 和"能当老板;能睡地板"的哦!

要做个成功的Towkay, 当然不能缺少一个习惯, 那就是Ka Ka Lai La! 看得懂吗? 呵呵, 那就是"敢敢去啦"!!!

If Nike can say "Just Do It", Singaporeans can also say in Hokkien, "Ka Ka Lai La!"

这本书也输入了很多的做生意名言, 比如:"小事不做, 大事做不来".

让大家看看里面的一篇文章吧:
The character "生" also means "生机". It means to feel alive with energy. Have you ever walked into a shop, found the person inside bin or or (black-faced), and not quite been able to figure out what the shop is selling? The shop is lifeless, worse than a kua cha diam (coffin shop). You sense a strong chilling ying energy and coldness in the room. The person is not enthusiastic and can't be bothered with you, simply boh chap lah (don't care at all). If you've ever walked into a shop like this, the owner is not doing business; he is merely a "security guard". His role is to jaga (to look after in Malay) the things in the shop.

如何? 读完过后, 是不是想要大笑一番呢?

有兴趣找这本书的朋友, 可以去附近的书局找看看哦! Kin Kin Ki La! (快快去啦!)
