I started learning Mandarin after travelling through China quite a few years ago. Alas, I should have chosen an easier language to learn...

    A soapie is normally a tv show (normally drama). It's often on tv five days a week and can run for years and years. Australia has quite a few of them. Most people think they're pretty bad and boring. Having a "bun in the oven" means you're pregnant. Bread baking in an oven rises (in other words, it gets bigger, like the stomach of a pregnant woman - hence "bun in the oven"). I'm Australian, it's quite a common saying here. It's used very informally and is considered slang.

    About my job

    I became a bank teller after graduating from university three years ago. Everyday I work behind a piece of bulletproof glass, which sounds boring but it is not the truth. In fact , the job of a bank teller is stressful and challenging. I must serve every customer well and help them solve their problems as soon as possible. Sometimes there is an unreasonale customer who wants to jump into the front of the line, demanding you must serve them first. However, most of customer are polite and understanding.
    This job give me the opportunity to meet all kinds of people , so I have considerable experience to deal with people. I realize that the most important thing is to respect each other, and always put ourselves in other's shoes.

    Get and got are similar. Get is the present tense of the verb. For example, "I will get you that". Got is the past tense (it's already happened), for example, "I got you something". Buy is the present tense 买 of the verb. Bought is the past tense of the verb. "I will buy you something". "I bought you something". If you're going to buy something for someone, it's also find to say "I'll get you something".

    You can think of this expression as meaning any of the following - anyway - be that as it may - in any case "...but you won all the same" is probably the second part of the sentence. This on its own doesn't really have any context. The first part of the sentence (that's missing) would give the whole sentence meaning.
