Mind Your Language



I used to watch this typical British sitcom a.k.a Mind Your Language when i was in primary school but during those time i did not understand most of the series as most of it was in the British accent and it was rated PG-18 if i was not mistaken....it was shown in NTV7 or TV1 during those times....and now i am watching it all over again..understanding each of the episode :)

It is all about different foreign students coming for English lesson under an English teacher known as Mr Brown. He tries his best to teach English especially when they are not well verse in English but of course it was not easy task for one man alone. English was being turn upside down by his students every episode and making English language even funnier with crude jokes, miss communication and misunderstood the whole language itself.

Guess thats how important English is..is all about giving our best and not to be afraid to try to speak and be literate in English. Do not worry for those who mock you for being too "English" trying to speak English when you would forget about your mother tongue. Is all about being knowledgeable and able to grasp the language itself for the future. We can see how we Malaysian are lack of language studies especially English where most of the time is the spoken and written language in Malaysia. ( that is base on my personal experience and opinion)

And so lets give English a chance to live with us and especially for the younger generation

P/S: Mind your language please all of us

Updates: Pros and Cons

Is been a while since my last post..CNY holidays was okay...spend my time reading and doing my assignments during the holiday break.....trying to adjust to my new life as a student again on another level...is been an exciting and one good experience doing my master at this point of life...

So much has been debated whether it is a wise choice to continue my studies directly after my degree...basically the point are divided into pros and cons :

PROS

I am still young...so by the time i get my master ( with God's blessing and guide) i be 24/25...imagine i pursue my PhD ? i be a DR by the age of 30..*blink blink*


Still fresh from my degree level...so is not much of a education gap compared to those who had left their campus life 20 25 years ago....able to compete and absorb information easily? (some say)


Doing it full time meaning i could focus my studies easily...maybe :P (1 1/2 years to go)



CONS

I am a fresh grad with no experience.. most of the students are working adults with experiences...is not advisable to pursue directly....(some say)

If i were to graduate with a master in hand..my basic salary is a normal salary base as i had no working experience...so my master is just by name? not sure about that...

Is hard to get a job? if you are doing your master full time? most companies are not keen ( base on experience)

Level of education is way way different than my degree level...approach is different...


Well..is all about individual preferences..what you think is best for you and your future...to me...doing it now is a slight advantage as i would not want to pursue my studies later when i am working in the future..focus one by one....don't be too greedy :)....



P/S: My books just for the first semester..have a nice day everyone :)

Updates

Right now..a few things in mind;

>Need to get a job @ need cash FAST...part time or full time...does not matter....

>Studies are in the right track..putting my mind and heart on the right track...assignments and reading materials are in....TOTALLY a different world of education..is more of a critical and analytical thinking in class...

> Cant wait for my convocation...kinda excited about it tho :)...

> My life now revolves around journals, books, notes on propaganda and information propaganda, media propaganda, public diplomacy..politics and wars @ psychological warriors...:)


P/S: Knowledge and education is the key to success.....

Going to Pakoh - Part 2

Supposed to post this up long time ago..but took my time to post something else up....

I went back to see my grandma for years i have not met, is fun going back to met my grandma for she lives in a long house :) so its a different scene all along for me....

Of course when we were there, she is always in the kitchen or she will be sleeping or taking her beautiful nap ( she does the same thing all the time without fail each time we are back to the long house)

Meet my grandma....never knew she had this typical grandma smile :) she was concern if she was not at her best looks for this photo... conscious minded..LOL


Me and my grandma...


Me and my grandma....shes around 92-93 years old......but does not look that old for her age...she can even walk and does daily chores like a 50-60 year old grandma @ shes a super grandma...

The door to my grandma's " bilik " number 8...




The " ruai " of my grandma's longhouse...i used to run from one end to another when i was small....11 door long house...so imagined playing futsal in the " ruai " area....the floors would have different sounds each time you walk on it.....


This is something new in the long house..a new road leading to the back of the long house...


This is the front part of the long house..mostly used as a place to dry clothings and their harvest...(maybe).....and the toilet is located far away from the " bilik "...so that small hut you see above is the toilet....hygiene purposes thats why is being placed outside the " ruai "...


The end of the long house @ 11th " pintu " or " bilik "...


The front view@ main door of the long house





This suspension bridge is always the fun and scary part and yet without fail i would come and would sit in the middle of the bridge...the scary part is when the bridge is swinging sideways and if it swings too far...you end up below....



 The river...trust me you would not want to be down there...

Crocodiles.....trust me...



P/S: It may be funny living in a long house...but is  something different and  not everybody had the chance to be in a long house....

Back home

In few hours time ( 1 hour 20 minutes to be exact) from this posting, i will be flying back to my second hometown i had called home for the past 3 years of my life. Ever since the offer from UiTM, Kuala Lumpur has been been a hometown to heart...Kuching is a gate away destination for me now, a place to run away from the busy and hectic life of K.L. ..nothing beats the place like Kuching :)

Im not sure when i will be going back to Kuching for good...settle down and have a life in my hometown. For now is the big world, ready to be explored and for me looking for experiences and earning a living in an unknown place.

I am happy with my life for now....should be thankful and grateful....God has been kind enough to be with me through all my campus life in K.L...until today...Amen.

P/S: Christmas is near i be home for Christmas :)
