late night

it's not so late (at least not so late by my standard). the clock on my mobile shows its 2.04 am. I'm usually still up at these hours either watching tv or reading (you have to know, i have a passion for reading).

Okay...why dont i elaborate on this hobby of mine. I only began to read English books quite recently ( i think it's recent...), since 1997 that's around a decade ago, when i was 13. You see, i was kinda struggling in my English class back then.

I was in secondary 1 in the best and elite highschool in Brunei...it used to be and i hope it's still is. Hahaha I mean that school has the greatest concentration of braniac in Brunei - nerds, geeks you might think...but we were not just confined to those categories, we were brilliant...our teachers used to say we were the cream of the cream meaning we were siphoned from the best of the best in the country. Best in everything. From academic to non-academic. But i'm not sure about it now...not because it's not the best but because i've not been up-to-date with the development of that school.

Alright, the above lines are just some background info. All the students were quite fluent in English. I wasn't. So my English teacher, Mr David Williams, a great teacher and a cool one at that, told me to read...cos it's the only thing to improve my English. I took his advice and by just doing that, i am proud to say, i am good and quite proficient in the language. Back then people might cringe at how bad my English was, now i cringe at people who act like they know the language...bad grammar, wrong pronunciation, wrong usage of word/verb bla bla adjectives set me off...

but then...sometimes i do make mistakes. my english is not great yet...but i am continuously improving it.

so read up.

My Malay? My Bahasa Melayu?...well i won't abandon my mother tongue...ehehe...

but then that's another story for me to tell.


yeah...maybe i should try writing a long post in Malay...just to see how well i can write in malay.

:D

also...i wanna point out...i do make mistakes, so if any of you out there happen to stumble upon my blog and read it. then you find out i made a mistake in my english...then im sorry ehehhe i do make mistakes and im far from perfect :D
