New Experience


Yesterday, I had a conversation with a tourist from London.. he sat beside me from Malacca to Ipoh in the bus..

Well, the situation was awkward because I’m not really fluent in speaking English.. However I try to make him understand on what I’ve said to him…

His name is Richard.. a government officer in U.K.. Came to Malaysia for holiday and then, he will proceed his trip to Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan n Sabah..

He is really talkative person.. he kept story to me about his experience travelling over Europe.. n then I just feel impressed and have nothing to say at all..(since im still leak in English vocabulary..ngee)..

As a Malaysian, I try my best in promoting the tourism places in Malaysia like Langkawi, Gua Tempurung, Pulau Pangkor and few others. Well fortunately, he is going to Cameroon Highland.. the places that I frequently go with my family.. so, I just explain to him about that places as much as I know like tea valley, strawberry n tomatoes plantation, honey  n etc.

British English was quite difficult to capture their pronounciation.. additionally, Richard talk too fast.. n sometimes I can’t even understand what he try to told me..for example:

                His pronounciation: nais and nafu = niece and nephew

                                                      Flontasyen = plantation

                                                      Pairnt = parent

However it is good to know him even for a short period.. he makes me realize that, I am still weak in my vocabulary and my communication skill is still in moderate scale because I don’t have a ‘Microphonic voice’ (microphonic voice person, please teach me…><..hihi). Those criteria are crucial for my career field soon because engineering requires me to communicate with all kind of people. Other than that, I learnt about London people a lil bit and their places..who knows , if Allah want to send me there soon. At least I know a little bit about that places …insya-Allah…  =)

               

(p/s: I’m sorry .. my English wasn’t good enough.. there might be some grammatical error ..huhu)
