I went to school with one Ng Chin, and although we weren't close friends we always got along well enough. Ng went on to bigger and brighter things - took over his father's chip shop in Port Chalmers. I used to annoy the hey out of him by banging into his shop and shouting "Ng ah!" which basically means, depending on tone, "Ng, get your ass out here NOW!" He never learned and cursed me out every time. I used to know a lot more Cantonese when I was a kid (Chinese neighbours), but I don't remember a damned thing now. Shame, really, innit?
