Profile
Born and raised in Johor Bahru, a bustling city just across a bridge off Singapore. I am a postgraduate student in NTU majoring in Electrical Engineering. I have been learning Japanese by myself for some years, due to the lack of exposure to Japanese-speaking environment I am not confident in carrying a Japanese conversation and I want to improve it. I can speak Mandarin as first language, English as working language, and Malay as my national language. Living in a multi-cultural society helps me to shape my multilingual skill and the ability of my brain to seamlessly change language channel at different situation. One moment I talk to my mum in Mandarin, another moment I go to school and everything is in English, then my craving for nasi lemak brings me to a Malay food stall "mak cik, nasi lemak satu". I am up for Skype, email, or even old-school way, pen-pal. 日本語で喋られる相手に会いたいです　よろしくお願いします

    Today is holiday which is called "Shouwa-nohi", it is coming from name of named after an era in Japanese history. Actually, I was born in "Heisei", which is also era next by came after "Shouwa". I really don't know about "Shouwa", but it's sounds very good to me because it reminds me of tradition and some legends.

    What is your feavorite favorite holiday?
    Please let me know your countries holiday.

    ==============================================================

    I love holidays, reason being I don't need to go to school! Haha

     

    In Malaysia and Singapore, there are three major ethnicities: Malay, Chinese and Indian, each of them has their own festivals throughout a year. Even though we are of different backgroud, we would come out and celebrate together as one. And yes, we have maaaaaany holidays.

    Some Reflaction Reflection about Taiwan's English Education

    Ever since I started useusing Italki , I have made lot's a lot of foreigner friends , and exchanged lots a lot of knowledge ,it's a special experience for me , because it's the ''first time'' I have foreigner frirend, (really.... I never ever have had it before ) . So I share my joy to with my Taiwanese friends and commend recommend them to use Italki .
    However , they thought think the reason I learn English so hard is to study or work abroad , then I explained to them that I just want to practice my speaking and making make friends , then they said : Oh so you want a CCR? (Cross -Culture Romance ) why don't you wear so hot dress up and go to nightclubs ,it's more esay to easier than Italki~~

    WT........(you know what I mean) and my parents asked me to stop using Italki and take TOIEC or IELTs as soon a possible , it may might be easier to find a good job, or I stay at home like coach potato (米蟲）. It's very depressing to me .

    One day , I went to zhong shan book street to find a manual which was recommended by Miguel commend me , but I can't couldn't find it , there is was no English-English grammar book ,there is only but Chinese-English book and most of their titles is were about : how to get high score on in TOIEC/IELTs/TOEFL .


    Why has learning English become so utilitarian (alternative word could be 'goal-driven') ？（wow , a new word ~~功利的）
    Learning Language is an exchange of our culture , our mind , isn't it ?

    When If my English is better , I can tell you more about Taiwan's good and bad ,hahahaha .

    Btw, I had a great session yesterday with my friend ,Chris . We found that both of us are Steven Chou（周星馳） big fans !!!!!! lol

    And Chris is still amazing amazed that my speaking is very good than compared to my writing , it's rare for Asian .OMG, how poor is my grammar 啦齁～哈哈哈
    I wish to have language exchange session every day !!! I want to practice my speaking .

    =============================================================

    I enjoy reading your essay, along the way I have also learned some Taiwanese slangs, haha. About your friend's insinuation that you learn English for bad reason, I was reminded of my friend who said I learn Japanese because of Japanese pornography, haha. Everyone has that one friend, don't you agree?

    Yeah stop using that word by all means, it doesn't make you sound like Nicki Minaj. A closer alternative to the f-word is 'freaking'. I use that a lot at every situation. "Are you freaking kidding me!" "I won a freaking 1 million dollar!"

    Fitness

    I have to say I'm was not interested in sports when I was young. Because I didn't have talent in many sports , such as running, soccer and so on. But I started to play soccer at junior high school and I enjoyed it gradually. After I got into college, I started to work out with my roommates, and now I exercise everyday. Here I'd like to share my story of fitness.
    The first time I went to the gym is was with my roommate. (And thanks to my roommate for leading introducing me to exercise at the gym.) Before that time, I was afraid of going to the gym because I was not confident about my body (okay, 'physique' is a better word) in front of those big guys. However, after my roommate forced (or insist) me to go there a for few times. I noticed the changes of in my body. (I was a little fat before that time.) So I worked out more frequently and finally it has became become a routine of my daily life.
    Now I really enjoy working out and I make many friends at the gym. It has been 2 years since I first go went to gym. Hope I can keep doing it for a long run.

     

    ============================================================

    Good attempt and cool story. I, too, had the intimidating experience at gym. Those big guys working hard made me feel like a small kid, ever since then I have never set foot in gym anymore.
