Gosh...he's so funny!

For most people starting Monday means hell to them, especially those who working right now (Afi, Fatma Shada, Qasieh etc.) but for me Monday would be the day that I'm looking forward every week. Why you ask? It's because Mr. Bala my English lecturer will give his "crazy talk" again. OMG, there he goes when he entered the class... For this week, a lot of things came up to his mind. Let's go through it y'all...let me get my notepad ya...

OK, let's see...

a) We learn about "high-brow". Know what that means? It means classy. Mr Bala give one example about one women he know that very high-brow. Whatever she do she always do it in style, even eating.

b) He loves badminton. He always wants us to pronounce correctly every English words. He gave very hilarious example on how Indian pronounced "in" and "out" during badminton. So does Kelantanese say it. This is what he said (approximately lah):

You know how Indian pronounced in and out during badminton match? Outte for out and inne for in (please pronounce the italic words with pure Indian accent to obtain the funny part). For Kelantanese lue and dale...Lape semile (lapan sembilan)....

Honestly, I look like an idiot laughing by myself now...jeez...move on...

c) He gave us one idiom with the accompanying sad story. The idiom was "She wrote him Dear John letter". That means broke up with him. He then told a story about Bonnie. He was one handsome man and a lecturer. He had a girlfriend named Mimi. They were very happy together. But one day she wrote him a Dear John letter (you see?). Bonnie ended up being an alcoholic and one day he drop dead on the railroad. Very sad....

d) Mr Bala favourite food is steam fish with ginger. He told us...with tauchu ye...

Well that's it for now folks. Consider yourself unlucky you never meet this incredible lecturer. He teach me English, yet provide me laughter every week. What a great Monday!
