Oh my English~

Gosh, I re-read my most recent post and i realized that my English writing is getting worse than before. I hope to brush up my tongue. talking about language. I am quite lucky to be able to speak in three major languages which are English, Malay and Mandarin.

I would like to thank my mum and dad whom sent me to SRJK school (mandarin medium school), and my aunties (I don't know which one) whom asked my parents to sent their children to go for Chinese School for good. Still remember Mrs Lee, my standard 5 English teacher whom I loved most because of her interesting class and also my aunties whom shows me the important of English language.

Mandarin? I just dont know since wheni was able to converse in it. When i was in the primary school all the subjects were taught in Mandarin except for language classes. So I just lived with it for 7 years (including kindergarden). i was punished by my teachers while he curse Mandarin language, My chinese friend talked to me in Mandarin, go for mandarin tuition and more. What was the thing I proud the most is when my Chinese friends during standard 3 told me that i can pronounced Chinese words correctly just like them. But I never seriously learned chinese language, I just lived with it.

My BM? It's very useful and I am proud to be Malaysian. But to confess one things, I failed my Malay language paper for my UPSR (Government paper for standard 6) which i got E. Because of such result I had to enter Removing Class (is this correct?) and I spend one year in the most life changing class. there I met crazy, spoilt, and bully people and I started to do well in my study for the rest of my life. I loves that year.

One language that i feel bad not to be able to speak is my father tongue! yaiksss. Dusun/Kadazan language. I know few word which i guess only 0.001% of the language. Hahaha! despite the weekly mass in my village were using Dusun/Kadazan language, i failed to lived with it.

So, i want to learn Dusun/Kadazan. wish me luck

like how you learn mandarin, to learn kadus effectively, you have to live with it. mungkin kalo ko selalu berada d kalangan org2 yang converse in kadus boleh ok tu kadus ko. padahal sa sendiri pun lintang-pukang kan. haha. yick nam ka dulu?
