Here we go again.















I know this isn't the time for me to be here, but since I have some stuff to print from my laptop, I might as well blog about my English aural, which is finally done!  *phew*  

















I found a very interesting topic for my aural, which I actually read from Emily's blog. And since it's really funny and true, I decided to share it with my classmates. And I mistakenly told them it's an email I received instead of reading it from a friend's blog.  =="


















I edited it and kinda forgotten half of the script prepared (HAHAHAHA), so classmates and friends, read on and find out about what I'd left out today.  :P























British English vs. Malaysian English









Who says our English is teruk? Just read below - Ours is simple, short, concise, straight-to-the-point, effective etc.




WHEN GIVING A CUSTOMER BAD NEWS
Britons: I’m sorry, sir, but we don’t seem to have the sweater you want in your size, but if you give me a moment, I can call the other outlets for you.

Malaysians: No stock.




RETURNING A CALL
Britons: Hello, this is John Smith.. Did anyone call for me a few moments ago?

Malaysians: Hello, who call?




ASKING SOMEONE TO MAKE WAY
Britons: Excuse me, I would like to get by. Would you please make way?

Malaysians: S-kew me.




WHEN ASKING FOR PERMISSION
Britons: Excuse me, but do you think it would be possible for me to enter through this door?

Malaysians: (pointing at the door) Can ah?




WHEN ENTERTAINING
Britons: Please make yourself right at home.

Malaysians: No need shy shy one lah!




WHEN DOUBTING SOMEONE
Britons: I don’t recall you giving me the money.

Malaysians: Where got?




WHEN DECLINING AN OFFER
Britons: I would prefer not to do that, if you don’t mind.

Malaysians: Don’t want lah.




WHEN ASKING SOMEONE TO LOWER THEIR VOICE.
Britons: Excuse me, but could you please lower your voice? I’m trying to concentrate over here.

Malaysians: Shut up lah!




WHEN ASSESSING A TIGHT SITUATION.
Britons: We seem to be in a bit of a predicament at the moment..

Malaysians: Die lah!!




WHEN SOMEONE DID SOMETHING WRONG
Britons: This isn’t the way to do it. Here, let me show you.

Malaysians: Like that also don’t know how to do!




WHEN ONE IS ANGRY
Britons: Would you mind not disturbing me?

Malaysians: Celaka you!


























Hahahahaha. Had a great laugh? Now, get back to revising for Mid-Terms!   :D



























All the best!!
























P.S.  Physics 2 is the first paper tomorrow.  O__O

Drowned in my own memory.
