Lost in Translation

I just overheard my friend asking to our office boy to bring her some chocolate chips, and I, because of at the time I was reading this Id-en which make me strangely thinking in English, asked him too : "me too...!!". Then I am suprised. Despite bring me delicious chocolate chips he gave me a tube of wet tissues. Mitu.

I have

a favorite one little pocket Oxford dictionary. The cover has torn and the pages have crinkled. I love this one, because it has light weight then I can simply put it in my bag. I usually read it before I sleep, not to be supposed to make my vocabulary increase or what but to make me fall asleep faster. I also like to read it in toilet whilst emptying my big colon daily routine. Do you have any your favorite dictionary?

Another Place Another Time

and my another blog. Break my daily routine job by writing something in here. Still I don't know what to write about yet. And frankly, I am not a good writer I think, even in Indonesian language. It is hard for me to express my feeling and thought in English. Yes, for sure English is not my mother tongue, I am truly Sundanese woman, tracing from three or four generations before me I found out there's no Western people in my ancient.

First I like to tell, I was born in Bandung, living in Bandung, and maybe someday I will die in Bandung. But before that day come, I wish I could go around the world first.I am speaking Sundanese most of all the day, include in my work place. So, you can imagine that if I speak in English it must be converted first in my mind from Sundanese to Indonesian language, then to English. Well, just kidding. It just my excuse for my retarded thinking method.

I like this quote from Star Wars: "The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Now get out of here!” —Qui-Gon Jinn to Jar Jar Binks . So I dare to say that my ability to speak is not related to my intelligent. Well I hope this doesn't make me more sound stupid. LOL.
