English oh English
Monday. The fresh start of another week. Some people may beg to differ with me as they rather view Sunday as the first day of the week. Not me.
"Work for five days and rest for two days". That should be the more organized and realistic way.
I stayed at home the whole day yesterday. It was a slow and sleepy Sunday. Finished reading the novel. Updated the blog which I had not been doing so for past weeks. Checked the email. Flipped through the dictionary for new words. Yes, I know. Mundane stuffs.
Managed to catch up with some friends over the cyberworld yesterday. Surprisingly, many of them were online on a snoozy Sunday afternoon.
Today. The Monday. Grudgingly going to settle the administration items needed for the LBKM application. Maybe I am going to borrow a book on English Grammar. There is an urgent need to polish up my English Language before school starts. When I tell people the intention of improving my English, they were giving me sheepish looks and odd remarks. "Your English is not that baaaaad!" "You have survived three years in NUS doing arts so what is the problem here?"
Urmmm.. point one; 'not bad' equates to 'not good enough'. Point two; if I ever want to write as a career, I need to have excellent English. Point three; most of my essays obtained the same remarks from the dearest professors:"Good content, extensive research. However, there is a need to take particular attention of the grammatical errors." Sheeeshhh..... Rather embarassing especially since I am already an undergrad for three bloody years.
"In conclusion", there is a need to polish up my grammar rules which I have long abandoned ever since secondary schools.
