picture credit to mr google

my 1st time writing in english, regarding jard comment for my previous entry. personally, i am not good in english, thats why i prefer using malay rather than english. looks, how weird my writing although its just only one paraghraph ;-)

ermm. ruangan kosong sbb 'it's in english'? ku kopipes dari blog neh

Apa pendapat kau tentang budak-budak Melayu yang dihantar belajar ke luar negara (U.S./OZ/UK misalnya) tapi hanya berkampung sesama sendiri, hinggakan selepas grad english language proficiency masih di tahap yang sama? Berbaloikah kerajaan menghabiskan berjuta menanggung pembiayaan diorang?
haha... saja nk tau ape respon kamu..

malay malay malay

yeah, i never deny and totally agree that most (read most, not all) malaysian tend to sociable and mingle with only malaysian. hurm, may be this is one of the minor factor that will make malay language for overseas student become more fluent. same goes to me. LOL

not the only way to improve english

but u must agree with me that mingle with local people is not the only way to improve english. im not telling u that 'malaysian is for malaysian' no no, no such things, but the reality is, i got 'something' when mingle with local people. 'something' better in improving my english fluency. they tend to talk theit accent, so, can we improve our english with them?

u got what i mean?

live hear in sheffield, most of them use 'yorkshire accent' something that very new and not teach at school. button become butt, alright become arite, better become be'er, coming become cuming and many more. thats why i told that mingle with them we cant improve our english significantly. ok, looks this video to hear how weird they pronounce word

what 'something' i got?

mingle with them, we will get their thought and culture. i join club chess here, before playing, usually i will talk to my openant. just talking about wheather, sunny day, freazing, some boring stuff and people here tend to build relationship with us by talking about this boring stuff. we need to understand their culture and by talking with them, this is what we will got

confidence. still remember during my 1st year here, when i was in subway, i just said 'all except this and this and this' when asking what vegetable i want. gosshh, to afraid to say letuce, tomatoes or cucamber. why? didnt have that confidence. fortunately, this thing developt slowly. thank to chess club again to give me opportunities to 'mingle' with them

'berkampung' (maybe u like villaging??) with only malaysian?

for me, definately there is no problem if you want to stay or spend your time MORE with malaysian. why? because they (local people) have very different culture with us. but my advice, find some spaces or time to make a friend with them. friend in term of watching liverpool play againts manchester, playing chess together, may be have cup of coffee or may be speed dating??? LOL. of course this is just my opinion, its not 100% right, everyone have their own opinion including me

finally, i close my case by this dialogue. one english student studying at usm kelantan, he want to buy nasi lemak at one of famous nasi lemak stall at kelantan. of course that english student know to speak malay ;-)

'boleh saya beli nasi lemak ?'

'nok nasi lemok brapo bukuh? nok lauk gapo? ado aye ado sutung, ado ude'

did he learn word bukuh, gapo, aye, sutung, ude in his school? 'think think and happy doing'

foot note : no more nota kaki, only 'foot note'. haha. very hard to write in english ;-)
