Actually, the usual active members nowadays are like less than 10 people including us. Who else is always active... I can only think of pomen GTR, lsm1991, ken yeang... Forgot got who else. Others sometimes will appear, sometimes quiet.

Why nowadays much less youngsters joining zth already. Bored with the forum system or not familiar with the english speaking community? I did notice in my uni, many young people are getting less and less familiar with english language. But I won't say so for KL people. Every time I visit KL, some of those english spoken by youngsters really surprised me.

Maybe now there are too many other websites for people to socialize and discuss things. 10 years ago, social media is still new and internet forums is like the best place for people to come and discuss about things that they like.

Got closed group??

Go add the rest of zth sifu at FB, hahahaha. You already added me what.

The chinese community in older days tend to have a good command of English especially those from your era. Coming from an english school myself, I din't know how bad the situation is among young people until I went to uni. Because all these while, most of my chinese friends are from my school and many of them cant write or read in chinese. Now I am grateful that I did not went for chinese school.

I parly agree/disagree. Uncle VR era have English school.

Some people still call my school as English school because my school's long history. It was established back in 1895 as an English school.

Hmm, you live in Penang but can't speak Mandarin. What language do you normally speak?

One regret that I can't read chinese words is when it comes to understanding Japanese kanji words. Chinese educated people can at least get the meaning, but I can't even read anything.

penang hokkien...i'm a cantonese. Duno speak also..

I see. Can speak hokkien, then I guess can survive with the locals, hahaha. I'm hokkien but I can't speak or understand hokkien. I can speak cantonese, mandarin and hakka.

Nothing much interesting is happening lately. No engine VS threads like last time (4A-GE VS MIVEC VS VTEC, turbo VS NA), no troll, no conman stories, etc.

I can hardly see any benefits coming out from current education system. It looked like those who received the older education system seemed to turn out into people who are smarter in work overall. I've always heard about the current younger generation had different working attitude and expectations at workplace. Soon will be my turn in joining them. Times have changed, so does the way of living.
