the mundane blabber (part 2)

since i cant think of d best title 4today's rambling, im using d same title i've used sometime back. cz thr's no specific topic im goin' 2yack abt 2day.. n nope, its not a continuation of d last post on d same title. i made up my mind dat everytime i cant come up with a title 4my post, im gonna use 'd mundane blabber (part ...)' as my title in d future.. so, bear with me readers.. (as if thr r any..) i've done my job 4d day.. no pending works except for filing (i reli need a clerk!im bad in dis 'arena') so, im gonna talk crap..

neway.. i ws blog hopping. i follow some blog cz its alwiz inspiring 2see hw ppl hs so much 2blog abt. like k.Mimi, soulmate's cousin (n mine technically) who post daily, not once, bt a cple of times a day.. i dont. my brain sumhow defies my ability in providing even an ounce of writing materials worth posting abt.. sumtimes i read her blog n thought 'why didnt i came up with dat?' n most of d times i felt dat she blogs abt d thing dat's so simple cz everythng she wrote is abt her n yet i cldn't think of anythg abt me dat i cld share of (shows hw boring my life is..)

n i also follow anonymously some blogs. not reli follow.. every once in a while, i'll check up on dat blog 2see wht dat fella is gonna write abt n laugh @it. ok, let me tell u sumthg abt it.. dis person ws my college-mate back in uni. most of ppl i knw hv problems with her. she's dis over dramatic girl who wants every1 2pay attention 2her. d sabahan wld describe it as 'mintak puji bah..' i ran in2 her blog while blog hop'g n i alwiz cringe in horror @wht she wrote abt in her blog. ok, not reli abt wht she wrote on d blog, its more of how she wrote it..

hv u ever felt like closing ur ears with ur hands, or turning ur face 2another direction in humiliation, or want 2jz cut d conversation short whn sum1 came up 2u n say somthg in english jz 4show'g off or 2get everybody's attention, only 2learn dat wht they say dont make any sense cz of d grammar mistakes? im alwiz tempted 2correct sum1 when they r using d wrong tenses. not dat im good, bt i believe dat one cn only learn whn they knw d correct way of speaking a sentence. they must've not been listen'g 2their teacher whn d teacher ws teachg them. thr's certain basic rule in english, which b'g basic, literally; means its suppose 2b common knwledge. like whn u use 'to' with a verb, d verb shld b in present tense. like 'to write', 'to read', 'to eat', 'to sleep'. and form'g a present continuous tense, u add '-ing' with d verb, like she's eating, im going, he's sleeping. (owh my god, now i sound like an english teacher.. mind me, i ws an english teacher) pls differentiate which noun 2use, is it plural or singular? 'they sale' not 'they sales'.. no, it's not 'its means..' d correct way is 'it means'.. i use to read d section in nst on 'mind your language'. its very helpful.

i've met so many ppl frm different countries since i work in d company im currently work'g with. of course @times i'll feel intimidated 2converse in english especially whn i knw they come frm european countries. and i also met some who dont even speak good english n dats anothr matter n its ok. cz they'll alwiz let me knw in advance n apologize bcz they'r not good in english. n i'll b comfortable with dat cz @least they'll admit it. n i'll tell them im as much incapable in conversing in english as they do n at times, even worse cz i cldnt find d right vocab 2use. bt i jz cant take it whn sum1 thinks dat she can show-off 2ppl by writing an email or post a blog in english whn all she's writing is a crap with so many grammar mistakes! i mean come on!

ok, i, for once write my blog in english. yes. bt no, im not showing off. im jz comfortable in do'g so. n if ever i thought dat i cant do so, i'll slot in a Malay word. bt honest 2 god, no, its not 4 showing off.. dis college-mate who i accidently bumped in2 is another story. cz i personally knw her, its jz weird read'g wht she wrote. we cld reli differentiate btwn a person who wanna learn using d language n person who's using it 4showing off(n fumbles at it). i reli applaud any1's effort in using english. seriusly.. they deserve a pat on their back 4hv'g d confidence of try'g 2improve themselves. aftrall, u can only b good in a foreign language by practicing. i hv one in my ofc, a guy, we call him 'En Mat tarbus'. he speaks english not for show'g off. he do it 2 learn. he'll drop by at my table 2read d nst n if he didnt knw a word, he'll ask me 4d definition. he laughs at himself 4not making a correct sentence but he'll try ever so convincingly n alwiz asks ppl on hw he shld reli correctly pronounce a word or say a sentence, cz he wants 2learn. nevermind d fact dat he is almost nearing d retirement age. i jz am very impressed with his efforts. n i'll champion every1 who wants 2practice. n whn i prctice, i wont mind it if any1 wld correct my tenses bcz its better 2knw my mistakes then continue making it, right?

i think thr's another person who also cant take it whn sum1 4no reason uses english while its better 4them 2write in malay 2avoid d humiliation; n dat is my twin, Meme. i alwiz thought Meme speaks better english. i didnt knw d tenses until i ws in hi-skool. Meme on d othr hand excel hers since primary skool. i went 2 hi-skool, cry'g d 1st day cz most of d students were using english. n i felt helpless cz Meme wsn't thr 2help me cz we went 2different skools. bt i tried everythg bcz i wanna make sure i'll survive in dat skool. n im thankful cz it made me who i am 2day. not dat im good, im far frm it. bt @least im comfortable enough 2use d language n i knw i wont mortify myself in say'g somthg i shldnt or write an invitation dat is hard 4ppl 2understand cz of some direct translation used (hint* hint*). n if i didnt knw a word, i'll admit it n look up in a dictionary 4dat word. its plain simple as dat. i jz wonder why sum ppl must b so arrogant. dont use d language jz 2look good infront of ppl while u definitely s*ck @it. cz in d end, u'll end up looking foolish n seriusly, u r humiliating urself with all d things u r writing/say'g.
