Okay... okay... you got it right. My bad No worries. I'm not trying to corner you or anything, just trying to set things straight. I deliberately used Indonesian as an example so you can see it from the perspective of a native speaker. Since you won't see someone who greets you that way as stran

While we're on this topic, I'd also like to point out that saying "how are you?" Doesn't make you 'so foreigner'. It makes you polite. Would you say someone who asks you "apa kabar?" Is 'so foreigner'?

Your SISTER watched rugby? Awww, that's adorable (really, I mean it).I bet she does the Haka dance too! ha I never understand rugby, aussie rules and cricket. Aye. My older sister did. She was quite obsessed with it too, for a couple of years, before Lockyer retired. Thankfully, though, she d

Hmm.. that actually reminds me of an episode of Ellen Degeneres Show featuring Hugh Laurie, where they try to guess the meaning of their slang words. Just like idioms, slang words also have their origins, that's why different countries may have different words. Although, miscommunication between...

@feldt: hahahahahaha. I can understand what you mean. Some people say writers are harmless creatures. I'll let you in on a secret... we're cruel. We like to write angst to make readers cry, we kill off characters to make them weep, etc. Of course, some mostly write lighthearted stuffs, like me, but

Learning By Reading Book

Middle grade...? What do you mean by that? Meh. I'm not too keen on it. It is, after all, meant to be a children's series, but even in that genre, I'm much more partial to the Chronicles of Narnia. What I don't like about Harry Potter, I suppose, is how the good guys are saint-like and the evil ...

That depends on what exactly you mean by slang and textbook language. Can you give us some examples of the slang words you used, and some textbook sentences? Every country has their own set of slangs. I reckon it might be hard for you to know every country-specific slang words (Lord knows I have no

If my memory serves me well, you once told me that you don't have the patience to read novels. :p But yes, I agree with you. Tolkien is way better than GRRM. Ah, don't read ASOIAF then, once you like a certain character, Martin kills them. That old man, I hate him seriously. Hahaha! Yes, I still d

@feldt: what kind of books exactly are we talking about here? Haha. My choice of books is... diverse, for the lack of a better word. While you sing Martin's praises, I suppose I shall sing Tolkien's praises. I do realise that he's more invested in the languages and appendices, as well as the histo

Well, you're right! Maybe I'm a fast reader. If you get used with reading novels, 300 pages book will be an easy read and also fast. That's actually really nice starting your own writing project in English. My grammar is still a mess and my knowledge for vocabulary is also not helping to do my wri

[spoof text] help me to find the point of twist in this text ! PLEASE

I'll give you a hint: all punchlines are always at the end of the jokes. There's no reason to continue the joke after everyone is laughing (if they do laugh) so there's really no point in putting the punchline in the middle or at the beginning of the joke. It was an okay joke, though. It did make m
