for the love of English

I've just realised that albeit the not so canggih world, the lack of sitcoms or joke books and whatever else that makes a person funny, people were really witty those days!


this was the 1st thing that got me laughing in Great Expectations.


-...To five little tombstones, each about a foot and a half long, which were arranged in a neat row beside their (parents) grave, and were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine -- who gave up trying to get a living exceedingly early in that universal struggle - I am indebted for a belief I religiously entertained that they had all been born on their backs with their hands in their trousers-pockets, and had never taken them out in this state of existence.-


HAHAH. not sure if you might be in the same wavelength as me but that whole long phrase also meant their dead, without much reason for that matter.

and also some really good motivational reminders from time to time..


-...be it so or be it son't (the negative of so, lol), you must be a common scholar afore you can be an uncommon one, I should hope! The king upon his throne, with his crown upon his ed (head), can't sit and write his acts of Parliament in print, without having begun, when he were an unpromoted Prince, with the alphabet -and begun at A too, and worked his way to Z. -


note to self: yes ur going to be an exceptional person soon enough. It's the preparatory course :) right. A girl has her right to dream.so whatever.



Classics have their own way of drawing people in lah. So enriching to read them unlike rah rah chick lits you have nowadays. Don't get me wrong, those are an awesome genre of books but come on, grow up and start reading something for all it's worth! which includes awesome wit, awesome language and awesome storyline.NOT TYPICAL i love you, you love him, he loves someone else with the occasional devil/evil witch and it repeats itself all over. (hint someone~~)



quote unquoted : classics are always a good buy. they test your mental endurance but reward you till the end.



ok, maybe not just 'em classics. Try some thrillers, murders, or life changing/heart-warming/mind provoking books, non lovey-dovey stories once in a while. You'd see..

about time you threw this out :)

I came across this word while searching for something..

pra.ma// [prah-muh, pram-uh] noun
1. prom drama
2. a situation or series of events related to one's prom and marked by emotional outbursts,paranoid, overreactions, and feelings of tremendous insecurity.
usage: When 'Jessica' learned the dress wasn't available with an empire waist, she sobbed uncontrollably, displaying classic symptoms of prama.

Three cheers for English.
