Traipsing unavailing.

Never has a good start. That's why I never pass up a single essay Mr.Padillo gave us. Neither does a good ending. English lessons .. were.. blasé but an only way to sleep in class.
But I always imagine that if I were a teacher, what question would I ask my students to complete ? Perhaps like this :

A friend of yours suffered from nose bleeding continuously for three days, write a letter to teach him/her how to get more blood wasted from his nose. You can add information such as :
- Go to the nearest pharmacy to get some adrenaline .
- Punch your nose thoroughly until you lose energy to continue punching it.
- Avoid drinking water and taking medicine.

You should write exactly 300 words. Inaccurate or false statement of number of words declared will be executed or hanged or sentenced to death.

[ Please anyone be my student ! ]

Oh yeah,  frequent of people always say I have nice long hair. Well thanks but my hair, isn't long.

This is my real hair length. The long hair, is an extension. So..

Do you people know that in America, different state has different of weird laws ? Here are few of them.



Please be aware that, don't do silly things, or, don't do things. haha

Let's talk about English today !

English as in The United Kingdom . I was very confused at first and now my mysteries finally solved. United Kingdom is divided into Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland ! As shown :


Clear Enough ? They're all united to become 'United Kingdom' . Hope I am right. It it actually cool that countries can be united ! I always thought the whole thing is call England. ( Or it is ? )

The telephone Booth. This telephone kiosk is never too old for anyone. 
It is convenient and a trademark for England. 

Cool ~

Not forgetting about their buses too !
I got this tiny double deckle bus key ring during a British Fair. The saddest thing is that, I looked to the bottom, it writes : Made in China.

Red telephone Kiosk and Red Double Deckle bus.


The main point is that, UK accent is a harsh one, but I love'em ! In Brunei, we're studying U.K English but non of us have the accent. We're more to U.S accent due to the influences of Movies, Songs and whatever usage of U.S English. I've always read something and try to imitate how English people do, but that is hilarious when I try every time.

An Idol of mine, who owns a sexy voice, Shane Filan from Westlife. ( Filan and his band is from Ireland, UK, I was wondering is it Ireland or Northern Ireland ) I love his voice but honestly I couldn't understand what he say.


This is Steven Gerrard with his words . ( ENGLAND darling football player, no, not soccer alright ! )
Again, I don't understand a single word, oh bummer !

Tips to imitate Irish Accent : Harden your consonants

The American trait of slurring consonants is most obvious with compound expressions: coulda, woulda, shoulda, wanna, gonna.
Instead of those, try these : Could have, would have, should have, want to, going to .


I think I m confusing myself and getting myself into accent problems ! I love both US and UK accent but I've set my keyboard as US keyboard. So I'll be using Organise as Organize, Realise as Realize , Colour as Color. Or else I'll be facing these annoying problems : ( The red zigzag underline under every UK spelling )







So, I think I gonna stop confusing myself now.
