Last year, I got fever for a week, I vomited, I felt nausea, diarrhea, and also an extreme headache. The honey I consume as usual was run out, so I went to a doctor. She said that I got Typhus symptom, and I was given an antibiotic. The day after, I vomited all more than before. Then, I stopped consuming the antibiotic given.

Dear Learners,

Welcome to another set of lessons which I promised to give you this summer.  These lessons are very simple and easy to understand but lack of understanding them will make it confusing for you to use.  

Have you been confused whether to use "in" or "on" in a sentence?  Do you think the two sentences below are using "in" and "on" correctly?

They looked okay, right?  But, they didn't use "in" and "on" correctly.  Tricky, isn't it? These short "words" (in and on) are but only two of the

Student: I'm not sure when to use "the" in front of an initialism.  Are there any rules?

Teacher: Good question. You can use "the" in front of an initialism that is the name of a famous organization, e.g. the BBC, the UN, the WTO. But you don't use "the" in front of CNN, ABC, GE - name of company. I'm afraid there may not be any strict rules.

This is my second part about the weirdness of Malaysians.

Malaysians are really weird that sometimes we measure things by the 'warmth of chicken poop'. Haha! Well, before you puke or anything, let me explain. We say when 'insincere invitation' or 'halfhearted attempt' as the 'warmth of chicken poop'. For an example, you are going to a party, and suddenly your annoying friend asks you where you want to go. So, reluctantly you have to tell her and invite her to join yo

Even though I've been involved with Formula One Malaysia in various capacities; organisation or even volunteering; since its inception in Malaysia in 1999, I've never had the chance to watch it as a spectator. Last year, due to hectic work schedule, I didn't join my friend as a volunteer. This year, due to my poor health, once again, I didn't join my friend as a volunteer. Thus, I decided there's no better time to be a spectator than now.

So, I asked my friend whether she has some free tickets. A

                Everyday, I have to wake up as early as 3 a.m. to get ready for school.  Getting ready means printing the daily lesson plan for my 8 subjects and other important school related documents.  I also have to prepare for my pack lunch since there are no food stalls in the village where I am teaching.  Lastly, I have to pay attention to my grooming because I am always surrounded by pupils of all grade levels.  This is my early morning routine but this does not make the hardest part of

The convention in Australia is for dd/mm/yy (o
