"Procrastinate"

Personally, I think it is good that Warta Perdana is aired at 9pm. 7pm to 9pm is where we should spend the time for Maghrib and Isya prayers. Not watching the television and procrastinate our prayers.

Whateva!

Hahahaha! You guys should totally watch this video. It is about an adorable baby girl with an attitude, the "Whateva!" attitude. My friend sent me this video to me through LAN. However I managed to search in in YouTube.




So cute right? Especially when she was doing her hand and also her eyes (the eyes looking sideways and the hand up). Planning to teach my niece to do something like that also. Giler ar. Nanti got scolded by my sister. Hahaha!

I personally like to do the "whatever" thingy to some of my annoying friends. Occasionally! Not at all time or that will make me the one who being annoy.

Ok la. As usual, please comment on my grammar or whatever! Hahaha!

P/s - To download this video, you can use keepvid or if you are using IDM, simpy right click and choose "Download last requested FLV".

Didn't or Haven't?

I always got confused with these two words.

For example, there was one time, when i want to collect the assignments (that should be graded) from the lecturer-in-charge:

Lecturer: Do you have the answer scheme?
Me (nervous) : No, I haven't got... oh.. didn't get it yet.

So, which one is correct?

Ta!

Correct my English and I will make you as my English teacher. Currently, I already have two teachers.

Words of the day

From now on, I will be posting some vocabularies that I found interesting. From this, maybe I may increase the number of my vocabs and plus, some of them can even be practiced in our daily life . I will start with two words that I found for the hit tv series, Ugly Betty.

Source: Ugly Betty, Episode 512 - Sisters on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

1. Bossy pants

Term given to someone whom being bossy of course

Hilda: I might not do things the way that you want me to, but you can't be Betty bossy pants
Betty: Don't call me Betty bossy pants.
Hilda: Well, then stop trying to control everything.

2. Snafu

SNAFU is an acronym meaning, "Situation Normal, All F***ed Up". It is sometimes bowdlerized to "Situation Normal: All Fouled Up" or similar, in circumstances where profanity is discouraged or censored. In modern usage, "snafu" is often used as an interjection, as a shorthand for the sentiment expressed by the phrase. "Snafu" is also sometimes used as a noun or verb, referring to a situation that suddenly went awry, or the cause of the trouble. The acronym is believed to have originated in the US Army during World War II.

Betty: I've been dealing with a little work snafu.
Daniel: There was a work snafu, huh?
Betty: It's all taken care of. Amanda helped me.
Daniel: Hh. That's--that's great.

Start Posting Already!

Hahaha! At last, i am typing for my first "real" post in my first ever 100% English blog (not really la, maybe 80% Eng, 20% BM..) . Actually, why I haven't post this entry sooner after my Prepost?

I want to make my first post special, but I don't know what to write about, and finally I ended up writing this. I don't have a clear idea what i want to write about but i feel like I must write something or otherwise, this blog wont even get started (Can you count how many "write" in this paragraph? =p).

Okay, I just got some ideas what to share with you guys. I want to tell you guys why and what I'm gonna do with this blog? Actually, it is absolutely as one of the platform that I choose to improve my English language. I want to post something which i must compose in at least 80% English and I want you guys to comment on every English error that i done in any of my posts in the future (Grammar, Vocab, Punctuation, etc), and from that, I can learn from my own mistakes. I really need your help in achieving my mission (kind of big right? Objective maybe... Hahaha!). Anyway that is the important one.



In order to reach my goal, i will pledge to myself that I will be posting on everyday to show my level of commitment in improving my English. Oh, some redundancy issue here.. Hahaha! (except for holidays la or when i got no internet connection). If I missed posting in any particular day, Insya-Allah I will qada' it on the next day. Hahahaha!

Lastly, to all my friend out there (or anyone), I really hope to get your support on this. Show your first support by commenting on any errors in this post! Hahahaha!

Ok, till my next post!

See ya!
