In a bid to improve our standard of Chinese (plus I think we had nothing better to do), my colleagues and I are playing a game whereby we only speak to each other in pure Chinese during lunch. If a person happened to utter an English word, he/she will have to pay a penalty of 10cents per alphabet. E.G. “Oh Shit” will be charged as 60cents since there are a total of 6 alphabets.
It was absolutely hilarious the way we try to translate some phrases from English to Chinese. But I think we’ve all managed to improve our standards of spoken mandarin. This one takes the cake.

“哟，告诉你我要什么，我真的真的要
所以你告诉我你要什么，你真的真的要
我会告诉你我要什么，我真的真的要
所以你告诉我你要什么，你真的真的要
我要，我要，我要，我要，我真的要”
