003: My Breakthrough

2011-12-01T20:29:00.003+08:00

Allah blessed me!!! Syukran lillah :)

I have difficulty in understanding all the tenses in English Grammar. I think all of them started to jumble up in my head when I was at Form 4 and 5. There were too many things to learn, yet too little can be captured by my mind. I think the method used was not correct. I was a good student, especially in Bahasa. I was in A class for English when I was in Form 3. There were 6 classes altogether, and being in Class A was something, really something. Hmmmm...

Then, when I was doing my degree in our public university, I sensed that my everyday English became worse, but my Professional English is better. We read, we wrote, we discussed and we did our presentations using our Professional English. Later on, when I graduated, I found that I have difficulties to communicate with others whose not from the same background. Menggelabah beb!!!

I tend to use that Professional English, but later on found that some of the words used were too strong, that not every one can accept that. Yes, we were train to emphasize by using strong words, and in everyday life, we are not always going to emphasize our want to every one, right? I also facing problems when it comes to work. Sometimes (read as most of the time), our meetings were held in English. As a person who has a bad command of English, I found that I can not expressed myself. Often, I said something that is a little bit different from what I supposed to say. Part of the problem is the vocabulary, the other is pronunciation, but the most crucial part of the problem is I do not know when to use what tense...

I enrolled myself into one-to-one English class in Cambridge. Yes, I pay quite a lot. RM600.00 for 10 hours classes (2hours per class). It took me three classes to know what is the problem I faced with my English, and another RM600.00 and the third class from the second 'term' to know where it comes from. Phewww!!!

So, we called it the breakthrough :)

Yes, I managed to identify my problem and the root of the problem. The only things I need to do are to practice asking questions, communicate in perfect English with my husband and work on my pronunciation. Lots of work actually, but if you want to succeed, there is no other way. Practice and practice and practice, until you become almost perfect.

002: At 30s

So, this is my second post. I hope I manage to post one entry per day. Please pray for me.

Okay, I had one, no... two, three, four... yes, four blogs before. One at a time, of course :) Basically, all my blogs except one were about the frustration and stressfulness at the work place. Yes my dear, I did complaint a lot. *peace* Those were the time when I was at my 20s.... So, I stop blogging for a while... complaining is not good for my health. My doctor friend said that I had had a very stressful working life. He knew that perfectly because he used to be my colleague... save from that, i am nor a doctor neither a dentist.

So, this is my say:

" when you reach your 30, your should automatically become calmer, positive and patient."

Thank God that I am not married at my 20s... hehehe
