It was near midnight when I started writing this blog. It was raining cats and dogs, and normally the best time to hit the snooze button. Unfortunately, I drank a bucketful of coffee in the meeting today, so now I am wide awake. That's really ironic, isn't it?

For the past few weeks, it's been raining nearly everyday and tonight it's no exception. While I was grappling for things to write, suddenly this rain reminds me of my Jakarta's visit early this year. It was spur of the moment decision to g

Come my tear to help me
My cheek has been dried
Do something
Except weeping what I can do
We don't do anything
Come my tear to help me
Very long time that has been finished our bygone story
One who goes never come back again
My heart wants weeping till resurrection

Dictionary method

There are three stages of knowing new words. If you recognise a word by reading, it is in your passive vocabulary. If you can translate the word into English, it is already in your active vocabulary. And at the third stage you are able to use it in a sentence while speaking to a foreigner.

If you are at elementary level, your first dictionary is the vocabulary list of your English textbook you started to learn from. These lists usualy can be found at the back of books. When you

Not that I'm saying that this is perfect,but then nothing ought to be perfect anyway.
So I suppose there will always come that time when you need to lie about a certain thing, another when will you feel the urge to take what isn't yours,another when your feelings will be so messed up you will end up breaking someone. Another when you will be too helpless to stand by those you promised to always be there for. Another when your weakness will win over your optimism. And another when you will fall an

If someone forgot your kindness , you don't forget to be good.

"Man has uncontrollable laughter for three years! (But his wife is not amused)".

This is one of the funniest and craziest stories I've ever found in the internet:

"Huug Bosse went in for hip surgery three years ago, and when he woke up he had a mean case of uncontrollable laughter. And he hasn't been able to stop laughing ever since. Understandably, his wife is absolutely miserable. Watch the video interview, and feel this woman's pain".

Reading English texts method

The first principle of this method is that you have to read texts you are really interested in. And read texts mainly written by native speakers.

You may read literature, news articles written or on-line, elaborations about your specific professions or anything else, the most important words should be looked up in the dictionary and written in your vocabulary notebook.

While reading the dictionary, control what you can find around the new word. In most of the cases yo

Vocabulary teaching book method

There are a lot of vocabulary teaching books edited. You have to have a look around your local book shop and choose among them. Most of them classify the words by topics. For example they collect the most important words about "Family", "Describing people", "The weather", "Shopping" etc. They usually give you some filling gapes exercises and some pattern compositions. After learning the vocabulary and doing the exercises in a unit, now it is you who has to write a

Introduction

There are so many ways to learn vocabulary effectively and there is no rule about which of them you should use. First you have to be aware of your personal facilities and abilities. You must have time and silent circumstances, you need a good dictionary or/and a vocabulary teaching book, other books, internet access or CD-roms. Choose the means that are most lovable for you.
    Among your personal abilities your good memory and strong willpower are the most important. If your memory

Hey, don't get me wrong or try to put words into my mouth - I didn't mean that you don't need to study English hard. I mean that you don't need to speak or write a perfect or too polished or flawless English. I know you have reason to be fluent in English, but it really takes a lot of time and effort to be so. You should be proud of your English if you can understand what I just said or what I mean by saying that. 

Be proud of your English

I can tell you have already learned English so hard and fo

 Listen to News: Meteor Explodes Over Russia ~ 19 February 2013

 Discussion Question: Scientists believe that this type of event happens about once every 100 years. Does a rare ocurrence like this justify the building of early warning systems from space?

 Any way of preventing major damages to us is always welcome in advance, mainly when it comes to the catastrophic results of big asteroids over the Earth's surface seen  in the example of the one that crossed the Russian sky in February this year

This picture is about puns, and it also reminds me how usually goes a conversation in the EC Chat hehe
Sigmund Freud claimed puns were an admission of weakness, a psychic release-valve in which humour alleviates the stress of repressing unpleasant truths... Screw him! I just think they're really funny! :D

Can you guess the actual words for these puns?

It's been a while since I write anything. My work load seemed to be getting heavier, and by the end of the day, my mind was just too tired to do anything else. But I realised that I really missed writing, and trying to come up with coherent English sentences. Trying to make sense some flitting ideas and putting them into a sentence, and then a paragraph was a challenge that I never thought I will ever enjoyed. 

So I thought, what the heck, and took long and deep breath (instead of drink, LOL. I d
