It is probably due to the settings of your "regional language options" (e.g. you may need to install "East Asian Languages").<BR/><BR/>Then you may also want to input Chinese characters. For this, you install IME v3.0 (input method editor version 3.0) - it allows you to input Chinese characters using Hanyu Pinyin. (The keys for toggling between English and Chinese input modes is ALT-SHIFT, i.e. keep ALT-key pressed and then hit SHIFT-key<BR/><BR/>All the above features are normally included in your Microsoft Windows Operating System, i.e. they come as standard - no need to pay extra, only need to install if you need to use them.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826590137201441127.post-154950998238487322009-01-06T08:08:00.000+08:002009-01-06T08:08:00.000+08:00victor, i think you use chinese characters, on my ...victor, i think you use chinese characters, on my screen i see the as .??? when chun see uses chinese characters, the same thing happens.<BR/>is it because i don't have the software for it?yghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054865524193859788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826590137201441127.post-90663789963028062622009-01-06T00:56:00.000+08:002009-01-06T00:56:00.000+08:00I thought there is more - 吃年糕, 快高長大 and 步步高升 i.e. ...I thought there is more - 吃年糕, 快高長大 and 步步高升 i.e. eating <I>nian gao</I> will somehow make little children grow up more quickly and also help people advance in their careers, studies, etc.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826590137201441127.post-34750728891196794942009-01-06T00:21:00.000+08:002009-01-06T00:21:00.000+08:00There are two significance of using “Nian Gao or T...There are two significance of using “Nian Gao or Ti Kueh” during festive occasions.<BR/>It is considered good luck to eat “Nian Gao” during Chinese New Year because "nian gao" is a homonym for " to rise with every year". Because it sounds good, it is a must-have item for the Chinese during every joyous occasion.<BR/><BR/>The Chinese used “Ti Kueh or Tium Kueh” to pray to the Kitchen God one week before Chinese New Year. According to legend, the Kitchen God returns to heaven to report on a family's behaviour. A negative report by the Kitchen God means a family will suffer from bad luck during the year to come. Using "Ti Kueh" is to ensure that the Kitchen God’s mouth is “Ti Ti” so that he will say sweet things. Also, because the cake is sticky, it will also keep his mouth shut to prevent him from making an unfavourable report.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826590137201441127.post-23083406371130709372009-01-05T21:39:00.000+08:002009-01-05T21:39:00.000+08:00I want to eat that when I go back!!!
