Singlish Argument “No good lah,Kena ”

seiha09 — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 11:26:46 +0000

Singlish is commonly used in Singapore.It consists of words originating from English,Malay,Hokkien ,Teochew ,Cantonese ,tamil,Bengali and Punjabi.The Singaporeans like to use Singlish because it is fast and incorrect grammar.When they speak Singlish,they can drop unnecessary words.Only people who knew Singlish will understand what the Singaporeans speaks.

I am very shocked and amazed when I come to study in Singapore because some of my Singaporean friends spoke Singlish to me.I don’t understand what they are talking.

Yesterday I have debating with my close friend who is studying in the same university as me in Singapore over Singlish.He is trying to learn and speak Singlish to make friends with the Singaporeans.From my point of view,I think that it is better to stick to the standard English because it is formal language and when we go out to work,we need to use it for presentation,communicating with our boss and our colleagues and working.I think that it is not easy to switch from Singlish to Standard English when you used to use Singlish.His opinion is that he learn it to get to know the Singaporean friends in University.I agreed that it is difficult to find the Singaporean friends in my University.I don’t think that learning Singlish is the one way to make friend with the Singaporeans.There are many ways to make friends with them.We should spend time on hanging out with them or having dinner or lunch with them.We should enhance our general knowledge like sports,technology and current affairs.We should be friendly and easy-going.

Tough Taekwondo Training

seiha09 — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 00:10:33 +0000

Yesterday it was tough TKD training that I have ever had.It is combination of having fun with friend,making my friend hurt-ed,struggling to complete exercise such as 30 push-ups,30 crunches with legs and 30 lie down and stand up ( I forgot the name).I feel sorry for my friend whom I made her hand hurted.Next time,if I have a chance to train with my friend,I will be careful and avoid making my friend hurted. First,I thought that I can’t make it because I didn’t sleep well the day before yesterday.I saw everyone doing it,so I pushed myself to master it also.I felt that I was almost there.I started to have the feeling of giving up or quitting.If I keep trying and doing,I will achieve what I wish.

After the training,my body was exhausted.I can’t study and I ended chatting with my senior and my friend till 1pm.Then I went to sleep early and wake up early to study according to my plan.

A little Wonder (Rob Thomas)

seiha09 — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 23:58:19 +0000

I like Rob Thomas because his voice is so beautiful and enthusiastic .I was introduced to this song by my friend.It is meaningful and inspiring song.When I felt down,I have listened to it many times.When I made mistake,I felt regretted about it.This song helped to calm myself down and think about my fascinating experiences with my friends and family.No matter how many failures I make,I never give up and keep trying till I success.

Deactivating Facebook account

seiha09 — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:30:31 +0000

After reading my senior’s blog, I realized that friends on facebook are just acquaintances or strangers.They seem to care about me because the facebook updates my status and comments.What I posted on facebook shows what I really like and who I am ,but some friends posted their status and comments that they appear to care about us.In reality,they just pretend to be caring about me.Truthfully,they care about me because of new notifications from facebook.The reason that I deactivated my facebook is that I want to know how many friends care about me and who are my best friends.

King’s speech

seiha09 — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 17:52:51 +0000

The movie is about British king who is stammer and is unable to do public speaking.There is speech therapist whose name is Rush.The king is George VI who will make a broadcast radio on British’s war declaration on Germany.Rush help the king to gain confidence and make a public speech by training both his body and mind.The best part that I like this movie because it reflects that even though the king is able to make a public speech,his performance is not perfect.During his tough training,the king often wants to quit it .He keep continuing this training with Rush because of the encouragement from his darling wife and beloved two daughters and other pressure.They become best friends.Before the king is about to give his speech,he found out that Rush is not speech therapist.He only help many children who are stammers to be able to speak.What he has is experience.At end of movie,the king are able to make broadcast radio in public.

“It can be too late for something,but It can never be too late for everything”

seiha09 — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 02:55:31 +0000

Everyone wishes that they could have done something earlier.Their wishes are regrets.They always think that their time is over so they often avoid doing what they want.Saying that “They wishes that they could have done something earlier” is not plausible excuse and It is their obstacles that prevents them from doing or achieving what they like.I don’t deny that I have never regretted what I haven’t done something or many things in my past experiences.I am used to be a person who often regretted and wished I could have done something earlier.I wished that I could have lived in Phnom Penh because I could have learnt English,mathematics and physics better.I wished that I could have had a really happy family.I wished that I could have come from middle -class family.Therefore I could not have faced financial problem.I wished that I could have had a beauty house in Phnom Penh,so I could not have rented a house when I was studying in Phnom Penh.I wished that I could have learnt and watched English movies,played game,known more close friends,played with them,and listened to English songs.I wished that I could have found my hobbies and passions earlier so that I could have put my endless effort to pursue them.I wished that I could have done great thing when I was in year 1 in NTU.All what I have wished are my regrets.They are my obstacle to start to achieve new things from sketch.I often told that regrets to myself.No matter how long I take,I still don’t learn any thing because of my regrets which are my big excuses that prevent me from achieving and mastering new things.I have never had the feeling that I was damn good at something.From now on,It is time for me to change the way of my thinking and make action against all of my regrets.

Another expression is that “They wish for something or everything ” is human ambitions.The two expressions are completely different from each other.You should not misinterpret them like me when I chatted with my senior.People tend to move to comfortable zone when they want to learn new thing.Therefore,they never learn new thing because to learn and acquire new thing that we really wish for ,it takes efforts ,time and opportunity.The opportunity here is a inspiring ,friendly and helpful person who introduces you new thing that he or she gets passionate about like our NAKAMAs.

I really like the quote ”It can be too late for something,but It can never be too late for everything” .When I am down,I always remember that NO matter how happen to me,I am still myself and strive on better life and my hobbies.

Walking along corridor hall 4 to reading room

seiha09 — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 13:04:41 +0000

This afternoon I want to go to reading room for studying and preparing for next week 3 CAs.My mind is mingling with my thoughts.I forget where I was walking.My mind came up with my study problem and my friends.It is difficult to know who I am and what I am thinking.The most difficult thing that I am facing is that I don’t understand myself.I need to learn to control.It might affect my thought.

fundamental Taekwondo techniques

seiha09 — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 15:19:31 +0000

It is my first time to learn martial art.I really like it because I become stronger and more confident when I learn Taekwondo.There are three basic things that I need to remember in TKD pattern such as action,resting and assemble.Today,I learn pattern 1 in TKD.There are 16 steps that I need to follow.I found two interesting styles such as :

Standing -( easy stand and horse -riding stand)
Low block
Front kick
Cross block
Punching

I can shout confidently while I am training TKD.I am able to show my style in front of other people.Importantly,I like the stretching part.

Johnny English Reborn

seiha09 — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 16:36:13 +0000

After I have watched this movie,my jaw dropped and I can’t stop laughing.The movie is damn funny.If you really like the comedy movie,you should this movie.All the things in movie are non-sense and lame.The main actor is Roman Atkinson who is MI-7 member.The movie is about Johnny English trying to prevent the international assassins from killing the chinese premier in UK.

The feeling of being afraid,not peaceful in mind and not confident

seiha09 — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 16:14:40 +0000

You may wonder why I have such title in my life because the feeling of being afraid ,not peaceful in mind and not confident follows me every time when I feel guilty and spend my happy time with my close friends.I think that I have to spend time staying and playing with them,but actually I don’t have time.In other words,I need to sacrifice my study time in exchange for playing with them.While I am playing with them,I still feel unsafe and not peaceful because of the study workload.When I feel like this,I also make my close friends unhappy too.The best solution for me is that I need to stop playing with them because I have used up my playing time with them. They may somehow understand my feeling.All they want is that I am happy to hang out with them.If one person is unhappy ,It will affect other’s’ mood .Sigh Sigh

Honestly,I really want to stay and play with all of my close friends this semester and in the same time I want to get a good grade,but my problem is that I really can’t manage my study and playing.I always go over them.I need to give up playing now because I have enough fun with all of you guys.Now it is time for to say that I am busy and I need to be suffered myself for my future life.
