yeehaaaaa....!!! 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2007 Its been a long time since i write and talk in english. Its because all around me was just malay friends and malay officemates. So theres no opportunity to talk in english with them.Since 1980, that was 27 years ago, when i left school, i did not talk to others using english language.I used malay language as a medium in comunicating. Usually when other people talk to me in english, i usually reply in malay. It si because i felt that my english is not as fluent anymore. When i try to comunicate with other using english language, i always feels that my grammar is kind of 'upside down' and some words just wont come out easily and fluently from my mouth. Those words just stuck in my mouth and wont come out properly.I think its time for me to do some practice....may be its good for me if i buy English newspaper everyday and read loudly so that i can improve my English.well....thats it for now....

The last time you spoke English was twenty seven years ago ??? Or are you just being dramatic .. hihihihi.Oh well then ... welcome back to speaking-englisch Captain... (dhuhhh!!) [in Councillor-Ensign briefing mode]Much has changed since you 'went away' 27 years ago Captain. Mutation has taken place and there has bred a variety of englisch language, both spoken and written. Authorities of planetary scale are also observing a new breed of humanoid of unknown genetic origin called Hanfoness who speak and write in Englisch (and Bahasa Malaysia) of their own, called Asomastic. Apparently this Asomastic language involves complex yet somewhat standard way of interpreting original Englisch pronunciation and spelling into a totally new, evolved and mind-boggling encryptionised language. There is also a low level breed of humanoid whose Englisch has evolved into a version merciless, brutal and fatal. Physically and psychologically pediatric-permanent, this weirdly deformed humanoid are known to constantly engage in oral warfare and use their Englisch solely as a weapon of assault.De-brief, Captain [end-mode]You know, that reading aloud method... it could work. It worked for me. I once had to learn the American accent (known for its ridiculously thick R and T) in 1 week and i was forced by a certain coach to read aloud countless of texts the blonde-american-tv-anchorwoman way...!! And in doing that, try to 'store' the whole sentence in your head which means you have to read forward and faster than your mouth saying the words. But then again... i dont think you'd need this crappy tip from me do ya in the kitchen, thinking .. choc muffin; should i or should i not ? hmmmmCik BedahTemerlohadded disclaimer at 3.41am:due to unexpected PMly received inquiries of factual extract from the above Councillor-to-Captain Brief, please note that the Brief is a fictitious depiction of actual phenomenon.

yeehaaaaa....!!! 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 actually, what i meant by not speaking english since 27 years ago is that....very seldom do I speak English...I just speak when I had to....and in situation that I just cannot resist....like when some foreigners asking me to show them how to go to places that they want to go....and thats maybe once in five or six years and happened coincidently....and maybe I spoke English once or twice in every two to three years....but as i wrote earlier....I like surfing and do read lot of articles especially about computer....thats me....i did not speak english in my daily life....and my english pronunciation become worst year after year....

abedahmatusin 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2007 27 years ??? Really ??? I mean .. really ... The last time you spoke English was twenty seven years ago ???actually, what i meant by not speaking english since 27 years ago is that....very seldom do I speak English...I just speak when I had to....Yes well ... actually i sort of understood it when you said you have not spoken English for 27 years you meant "the full blown English"...hihihihihiand i kind of love to overly dramatize my reactions .. like, the inclusion of excessive question marks that would make me sound like i was sssssoooo surprised reading people's posts!I wish i could just speak English when i had to; like you did. But then in my situation if i were to do that, i wouldnt be talking much at all and people might think im supershy or a Carrie in the making!By the way ... that suggestion of me becoming a moderator for this English section... i dont think thats a good idea. I mean... im totally flattered beyond recognition here and i thank yall so much for thinking so good of me but the truth is ...i cant I cant commit. I dont come in here often and in fact, this post im writing is about a week after the last one i posted. See ...... And besides, i think we kinda survived not 'killing' each other in this section without any official mod around didnt we ? Makes us a little bit more responsible in trying to be good boys and girls ....Anyway.... i actually got into an acccident with a trailer today... my car was wrecked and the person next to me broke his legs and punctured his lung and dislocated both of his shoulder joints. His nose was shattered and his skull was dented in various places. He has not come out of his comma. His name is Sanders. And he is not a good person.ok just kidding .....too graphic right ???i knoww ....Cik BedahTemerloh....p/s: just now, i actually sat on one of my luggage just to be able to lock it up... and this is not a joke.
