I don't think ENGLISH is the problem


Hi everyone (^^)v


to all my Muslim friends :)

Have you grab your lunch?
I'm having mine now at Pohon Emas *or is it something else?*
I'm eating fish and chips [bajet orang kaya je kan] :3
And iced lemon tea while waiting for the office to open,
I thought that would be at 2, MalaysianTime hhaha joking
It actually opens at 2:30PM after lunch hours (sigh).

              

What's with the big question?
A little something to share while waiting because I'm a bit bored myself and somehow this topic came across my mind and felt like writing it :)

Many people around me have this issue of conversing in English.
And there's always this nonsense:
  • forgetting your mother tongue
  • 'lupa asal usul'
  • "kau bajet speaking ni nape?"
  • your putting English over the top
  • "biasalaa, orang keyill~" (that's KL if you wanna know)
  • "mak ang beranak tang mana ang nak cakap omputeh ni?" 
  • "kawe dok pehe mu oyak gapo" (but this is acceptable)
  • etc etc AND etc ... (long long long looooong sigh)

I really don't understand these kind of mentality.
You know what, haters gonna hate.


And for some very good reason, they are just being ignorant

I started conversing in English when I was in Standard 4 (10 years old that is). I started by asking my friends who are very good at it to speak along with me. And I've always had this habit of constructing the sentence 1st before I spit it out. While having a conversation, I always asked my friends to correct me if I got anything wrong in my sentences and they did help me, THANK YOU!
I regularly listens to English songs, I think those are the simplest English in life that you can understand (unless the rap part does a bit tiring to understand) :P 
Ibu and Abah never prohibit us to watch any cartoons or movies (except the 18 rated OBVIOUSLY!) and we ended up growing watching English based cartoons or movies, so we already used to the language :)
The most important thing is get use to the language, you don't need to be like Harry Potter, speaking in excellent British accent, or even speaking like a native English speakers, stop that! To be able to understand is already a bonus, in this modern world, what are you expecting, everyone is honest? We need to be prepared, no one is going to help you unless you help yourself!


Understand?
Look at the time, I need to go now, please take note to every word,
and I hope it will help :)

Good luck.
thank you,

3 bulan, 22 hari :)



Today marked the 22nd day of my 4th month here in UNIMAS, Sarawak.
Just another few days to have my final exams.

It has been a roller coaster lately, but Ibu if you read this,
Angah is absolutely fine :)
Please don't worry about me, I am perfectly fine :)
facing exams Like A Boss
*Ibu called and she said she dreamt about me,
and she also said she saw the video our 5 years old youngest brother, Irfan took,
and there's me in it*

Now I'm preparing myself for finals, hopefully to have a very productive study week,
(while  every minute) :3

Really can't help it, since most of the subjects requires me to
READ READ READ READ READ!

Therefore being extremely sleepy is a pandemic!



study hard everyone! but don't force yourself  :P

Good luck for finals everyone! Do your best!

Hwaiting!
