accent

Everytime I met new people, the first thing I will notice is their accent.

Accent is something that had amused me for years, you can tell exactly which part of world someone came from just from hearing the way they talk.

If you particularly familiar with certain area, you can exactly know which city he/she came from. In my case, by hearing someone from eastern Sabah talking, immediately I will know he/she is from Semporna, Tawau, Kunak, Lahad Datu or Sandakan.

A person will never speak more than one accent perfectly. Yes, I admit there are people who move/migrate and they eventually adopting the 'new' accent but it will never sound axactly like the local, the local will always know you are from somewhere else.

Currently, I'm training my ears to recognise British accent for certain region. I feel very lucky British universities have very diverse nationality and my two years here actually teached me lots of country (e.g China, Thailand, German, Spanish, Italy, Cyprus etc) funny way to speak English.

I've been searching Youtube for a video that best demonstrate the British accents and I hope this video will make you smile. :)

The Dressmaker

The Dressmaker by Elizabeth Birkelund Oberleck.

A genius couturier fell in love with a successful art auctioneer. The story goes on with no twist and sweet ending.

Cliche and pretentious. The plot is boring. The dialogues are over dramatize. This book should only be read by people who like to fantasize about upper class life and have romantic dreams about Paris and New York.

Am I Crazy?

I am actually viewing his friendster over and over again.
I am actually talking about him to almost anyone, anytime.
I am actually feeling jealous.
I am actually wanted ko know more about him.
I am actually miss calling him just to hear his voice.
I am actually crazy...

because I never speak to him before.
We were at the same school once but never really know each other until recently I saw his pictures and he gave me the feels I lost for years.

The jealousy,
the addiction,
the wanted to hear him,
the nervousness,
the my heart feeling like jumping out of my body,
the desire to be perfect in front of him,
the same feeling I felt for Acai for years.

What should I do?

Reservation for 1

Berumur awal 20-an sangat melucukan. Kawan-kawan kita akan terbahagi kepada dua jenis. Yang berpasangan dan tidak berpasangan.

Sekiranya anda berpasangan, sila berhenti membaca kerana tulisan ini bias kepada mereka yang berseorangan dan stereotaipnya dianggap sunyi dan pengalah (loser).

Jarang sekali kita melihat mereka yang berpasangan akan seerat semasa kita bersama-sama berseorangan dulu. Pasangan si berpasangan itu adalah keutamaan dalam hidup.

Kami yang berseorangan ini juga sering menjadi mangsa emosi tidak stabil mereka yang berpasangan dan sentiasa merasa dipinggirkan. Hal rumahtangga tidak boleh dikongsi bersama.

Orang yang tidak berpasangan sebenarnya mempunyai banyak masalah :

1. Dipandang serong apabila makan berseorangan di restoran.
2. Kawan-kawan menjadi semakin sedikit kerana mereka yang berpasangan akan terkeluar daripada kumpulan sosial itu.
3. Masalah rendah diri kerana jauh di sudut hati kami sebenarnya terdetik persoalan adakah aku sangat tidak menarik sehingga kekal berseorangan sehingga ke saat ini.
4. Dianggap sebagai seseorang yang terlalu memilih.
5. Dianggap belum matang oleh mereka yang sudah berpasangan.
6. (aku ketandusan idea. Sila letak di ruang komen sekiranya anda mengalami nasib yang sama dan bantuan untuk memanjangkan senarai ini sangat dialu-alukan, lagi sarkastik lagi bagus.)

Walaubagaimanapun, kepada orang-orang yang bersendirian di saat ini, mari bersama-sama menikmati kebebasan kita sehingga kita menjadi salah seorang yang berpasangan dan menjengkelkan.
