Insert your own title

My friend, the nanny* and I have been good silent readers for several blogs. Some blogs amuse us just because of the language that they are using. The English they use sounds more like a direct translation of Malay to English than proper English sentences. I just don’t understand, why can’t just these people write in Malay? There’s nothing wrong with it… Is it cool to write in English? Ermm, not really, and it’s even uncool to write in English and have grammatical errors all over the place. Maybe these people should try writing in Words to check on their grammar before posting it, no? Typos, some grammatical errors (yours truly have those too) are acceptable. But errors all over the place and not comprehensive sentence structures are just bugging me!

I know quite a number of good blogs that are written in Malay. And some even choose to write in how ever way they speak in real life, which make them sound just fine. I pick some good examples of my friends who blog (I’m not promoting them nor being biased because they are my friends, but I really enjoy their blog, I do) – Jaja and Sarah. I don’t want to put many examples, I’m sure you get the point.

*The Nanny is a friend of mine, who is not my nanny nor works as a nanny. I called her the nanny here because she borrowed The Nanny and The Nanny Diaries (where did I keep this book?) from me. She doesn’t mind working as a nanny if she is paid with her current full salary (including benefits, etc). She used to drive VW GTi for a short while, until she realized that the car is just a part of her and the magic card**’s imagination.

**The magic card is another friend of mine, I will tell a story about her in a different post.

I’m disappointed – some blogs that I really like are moving places. Arghhhh, it’s like someone took away the tv from me. Since I’m back, I rarely watch any tv (my mom owns the remote, and I have to beg her to change the channel), so these blogs are my only source of entertainment. My life is pathetic, I know…
