well to me, its not confusing
its another one of those WTH?! moments..
u know , when u come across those words or sayings, idioms, whatever,
n those words does not make any sense(literal or not)
so im not confused by it
im just baffled, puzzled, curious...

choco : stupid k-chan, ALMOST is NOT same. i can say whatever i want, its my blog~

actually, English is not the only language that is confusing, try Bahasa melayu.
man, 22 years of speaking , living, experiencing, yet, it is still not enough to make u master the language,(at least not for me though).
it is even more confusing that English.
i have to say the reason is because, the language is very delicate.
very very delicate.
one word could bear so many different meanings.
im sure this characteristic is possesed by other languages as well, but bahasa melayu is my lingua franca, so i stick to it.
by commenting that bahasa melayu is delicate ealier, i meant that the language is rich, maybe too rich, and its too beautiful.
If one can understand the old literature that the ancient malay people have done, he is truly a man of brains.
hehe
why am i writing in english when im talking about the beauty of bahasa melayu?
well, i want other people,(english speakers) to acknowledge other languages.
eventhough people around the world can speak english, and stresses that the language is important, i strongly feel that we have to take pride in our own language, putting that first before other foreign languages. 
I look up to countries that could persist in retaining the foreigners to speak their language when coming to their country instead of being customized to follow the foreigners language.
Japan is a good example.

Enough said. i have run off too far from the actual topic.
Maybe its because of the reason that i continue this post after years have been passsed.
sorry.
too busy.


anyways, if anybody would notice, i started this blog in english, i meant to keep it taht way, yet, as i travel to more roads, gain more experience, i would say that i love my country, i love my bahasa melayu, hence, i`ll start writing in bahasa melayu from time to time.
Needless to say that preferences to my bahasa melayu is advisable only with the thought that i may not use correct bahasa melayu sentences, or grammar most of the tie, as what i write potrays what i would say in real life, or to be put simply, informal language of bahasa melayu.
