I was watching the movie “Flavors” at Astro couple of days ago and I must say that it was a refreshing Indian Movie. Made entirely outside India, it was a story of Indian staying and working in US and showing different but inter-related sub stories.
Normally, I have never bothered with the language in anyone’s blog. Why should I? It is not my blog and everyone has their right to determine how they want to express themselves. Admittedly even my own blog is not perfect. It has spelling errors; critical grammar mistakes and sometimes sentences that do not make any sense.
To minimise spelling mistakes and grammar errors, what I do is that I would first type it in an MS Word. Do the spelling and grammar checks before posting. Most of the time, it works but not all the time. Comic source: http://www.cgu.edu

31 haribulan Ogos. Hari Kemerdekaan negara tercinta kita.
Saya masih ingat lagi semasa saya masih di alam persekolahan dulu. Saya dan rakan-rakan saya sememangnya menunggu hari tersebut. Maklumlah kita cuti sekolah. Apa lagi, kita pun membuat rancangan kita untuk bersiar-siar kat ibukota sebelah petang pada Hari Kemerdekaan. Sebab di sebelah pagi, kita boleh dikatakan “agak bersemangat” untuk menonton perarakan Hari Kemerdekaan di televisyen.… [Click to read the rest] “Merdeka Suatu Ketika Dulu”
