English Chat Season 8

Singlish is... a funny language XD like one of my friend said this in FB "so long never see u comment in my post" <-- Why the hell she used "so long" in the front, but when you read it, it sounds funny XD

Oh sometimes malay ppl use a mixed Malay-Eng language like "i cant too high in skype la.. got roommate.. haha.. later kacau dou her" <-- XD FUNNY! You'll find "lar", "lah", "lor" etc in some of their sentence XD

AFS? Isn't the test for it is stupidly-amazingly hard for tenth grader?

My friend can speak singlish very fluently lol.
What is AFS?

AFS is an student exchange program for tenth grader only~

Hmm? seems interesting:P

Haha. Thanks for the compliment. Probably because I like learning languages.
American and British English is ok, they pronounce words quite clearly(especially American). But Australian... Oh my god...

seriously? i didn't seem to recognize the singlish dialect when i was in Singapore. i thought there was nothing wrong with the way true singaporeans talk. but what i remembered clearly is the chinese-ish dialect they use when they talk (people i knew well when i was there were mostly chinese). it's kinda confusing at first. but after days passed, i seemed to quite understand what they're talking about.

that's weird to put 'so long' in the front of sentence. sorry but i don't really get what's so funny about the way it sounds. yeah! i know Malay people always mix their language with english. it's very weird! why do they do that?

the first test is, just like what you say, is indeed stupidly-amazingly difficult. you know, it was a miracle that i could pass the first test. the following tests are not that hard, but not that easy either.

@THM: LOL, foods eh?
But yeah, one reason why I kinda doubt going to Holland is the climate =.=

@Gwilth: Stupidly-amazingly hard looolll XD
My sister joined the test too last year, and she passed. She said it was indeed difficult, but if you have wide social/common knowledge about the world, you can do it. (She said there was even a question about '[put a Hollywood celeb here] is the brand ambassador/model for what clothes line?', gosh how am I supposed to know if I can't even tell what's Taylor Swift's newest song? )

Haha. Well, not only the food, but also the art and architecture. Europe has a really deep history with tons of architectural heritage and unique languages that really sounds beautiful. That's why I'm hoping to be able to stay there
Despite the cold weather in Holland, the scenery is really beautiful and pristine. Don't think there's pollution there, just like in New Zealand.

LOL World knowledge.... Before I met Van, I always thought Spain = Egypt, but strangely enough I know Spanyol is a country in Europe. My geography sucks...

I always want to go to PARIS!
because, they say, paris is the city of romance! (really?)

and also UK!!!!
I LOVE UK! I love the old buildings and architectures there! And the scenery is good as well. but most importantly, I want to visit my friend there.

wish I had the money...

@THM: .....Spain=Egypt? How come??

@Yuuto: I somehow don't really wanna go to Paris .___.
Oh and I also love UK!! I wanna go to UK!!!
....but AFS doesn't include UK

That AFS Test... I wonder what they want with it... You see, I got some question about medical thingy, isn't that amazingly stupid? I dont even know what the term in Indonesian language, let alone English language... The worst is that that question is not just 1, but more than 7 questions... Isn't it stupid? What would you expect from that .__.

Well THM, if you always think that Spain = Egypt, I've always thing that Riau Islands = Irian Jaya until now

@Gwilth
sure, the questions are crazy. i even got the question (more or less) like this:
"apakah nomor tipe pesawat yang digunakan di [i forgot what country]?"
what the hell is that??? who knows!

but the easiest question is: "siapakah pengarang Harry Potter?"


Spain=Egypt? that's so far away!

@gwilth: so you participated in the test?
LOL, even Irian Jaya's been renamed to Papua don't mistake it for Papua Nugini tho

@yuuto: that's one incredible question
emm, is it multiple choice, essay or 'isian singkat'

multiple choices.
so you can answer randomly.

Wow, it increased my hope greatly! <-- sometimes got lucky when picking out random answer

oh about exchange maybe october i will go to japan (just maybe )

my lecturer said i have passed the test for exchange student, but because japan just got tsunami and now nuke crisis, that make 50:50 for exchange program maybe canceled said my lecture...

darn that tsunami and nuke...

If you go to japan, can you supply us tons of mangas, pls?
Jk xD

Too bad if it's canceled, really... D;

Oh I hope your exchange will do, and it will go smoothly....
Cheers, street! ^^

Paris, eh? I only want to go there because of the architecture, nature, art and food
Awwww. UK seems sooo nice. I also love UK. Wow, you got a friend in there? Is she/he English or Indonesian?

If it's medical, I would know the answers XDXD. Well, if it's easy then anyone can go. It's only natural for them to make it difficult, but not like in yuuto's question (the flight number). The only flight numbers I know are 747 and 737 XD.
Riau and Irian aren't very far, so it's still ok Gwilth. But that you should know from geography and history lessons!

Damn, this chat is too smart for me

Yeah, i do have a friend there. and she's purely british. we became good friends through ffn.net.

@mich: hahaha, i think we should change the topic then.

@yuuto: I have a friend in UK too..... but we barely communicate now =3=
Oh right, your English is so damn good, yuuto!! You can write fanfics in English.... wow....

@mich: ahaha, yes, let's change the topic~ Any idea?
