“So”, my friend continued his story about the two scientists,

Indonesian : What makes you think so ?

American : You said the content of the bottle was formalin.’

Indonesian : I didn’t say so. I said that it was for Malin. You know in Indonesian untuk means for, so Ini untuk Malin means This is for Malin.

American : Let us check to the lab anyway.

 

"It turned out to be orange juice." My friend ended the story.

 

 

Have a good time my friends!

Yesterday, I noticed that one member left a comment on one of my blog posts. On the blog post, I shared about my blogging experience on MyEC. He asked me: Ranu, can you share me a tip on how you started?

 

Well, I know that I'm not an excellent writer and I'm still learning to write in English. But, since we are here to learn English, I think that we can share our learning experiences. So, we can take benefits from other experiences.

 

I started to blog several years ago. And my journey wasn't smoot

video that I got from reading  Nafis on April 27, 2011 at 11:30am post titled: My Guest Blogger: Mr. Steve Kaufmann

I did two things:

1: I updated my language learning map to include HUMOR. It made sense and while I was aware of it, it is now solidified in my road map as a milestone.

2: I started to think: what is better, knowing many languages or know a few or perhaps only one but to

I was thinking about her all day, I want to tell her how much I miss her, but...

 

I knew her over 2 years ago, we had lots of time together, every time I was with her, I felt happy and I think she was felt the same way. When I need someone to talk to, someone to share my feeling, or even someone to share the silent moments - I call her. And every time I call, she always be there to answer the phone and be with me.

 

She and I didn't see each other for a while, I feel some strange feelings and keep

Day 5 : Sightseeing in Berlin

 

Here, you can find two kinds of public transport system for railway, U-Bahn and S-Bahn. Find more information of the system please click here.

If you intend to travel abroad by yourself, particularly in a non-speaking English country, make sure you have a good sense of direction and clear map with your mother tongue or English in hand. Or, you can do as me to go with a person who is good at both of those things.  

 

We lived near station Heinrich-Heine-Str. and had to

We all came from Monkey

When I was child, I heard that Darwin said we came  from Monkey .  I seriously shocked in that time like many people still do. I tried to explore who is the stupid man insult our human race including himself.  Finding my answer was not too easy.  Most of the people do not want to discuss this issue, rather they like to narrate fairy tale that we created from Adam. After  reading some books, I found more exciting fairy story that God created this world only 6000 years before. Those sorts of tales

How does one become a good conversationalist? By having something to say and knowing how to say it. You might say, "I simply have nothing to say to people I don't know very well. I'm shy. When I see people looking at me, I get embarrassed."

To be a good conversationalist,follow these simple rules:

1. Read much. Get ideas from books,magazines,and newspaper. Be informed of the issues of the day.Formulate your own opinion.

2. Learn to listen. Listen to what others say. This is another way to become we

Heavenbound

When the night falls the moon rises high in the heavens and you paint white and silver ribbons across the star filled sky. And the dawn breaks forth on a new day coating the beautiful wind swept horizon with gold ribbons gleaming to brighten our hearts to bursting. Then you come smiling and wordlessly take my hand in yours and walk across the diamond crested sea to a place the naked eye cannot see.

In today's Sarcastic, Mean Cruel world.. people have become more and more insensitive and disrespectful to an extent. The verbal abuse has become more common.. but still there are people like me who have tender heart and feelings, and are easily offended. Such a suffering is very painful and requires special treatment to heal the wounds of a broken heart. Many people are not open and don't admit there suffering. Many seek help but don't have the courage to cry for help. Only some have the abilit

Day 4 :  Go to Berlin, east part of Germany

 

Before we went to Germany, my cousin went to gas station first becuase we would spend six to seven hours driving from Eindhoven of Holland to Berlin of Germany. I couldn't believe when I saw the price of gas was €1.829 per liter on the day. It is almost two times cost of the gas price in Taiwan. Now I know why cars of Europe always emphasize that one of their functions is saving fuel.

 You have to fuel by yourself here. It's quite different than Taiwan.

Who is Ferdowsi ...

 

2346202105?profile=original

 

Ferdowsi is best known for his literary epic Shahnameh, to which he devoted most of his life. Shahnameh was originally drafted by Ferdowsi for the Princes of Samanids, who were responsible for revival of the Persian cultural traditions after the Arab invasion.

Ferdowsi would live to see the Samanids conquered by the Ghaznavid Turks. The new ruler Mahmud of Ghaznavi would lack the same interest in Ferdowsi's work as that shown by the Samanids,resulting in him losing favor with the royal court.

Hang in,there

Today's all burnt toast
Running late,and dad jokes
Has anybody seen my left shoe
I close my eyes,take a bite
Grab a ride ,laugh out loud
There it is up on the roof
I've been there,I've survived
So just take my advice
Hang in there,baby
Things are crazy
But I know your future is bright
Hang in there,baby
There is no maybe
Everything turns out all right
Sure life is up and down
But trust me,it comes back all around
You're gonna love who you turn out to be
Hang in there,baby

“How may I find refreshment in the rain,when I'd rather be outside doing something in the sunshine?”
If you have never taken time to notice rain, sit by a window on a rainy day and watch how the rain makes all the colors brighter. Green never looked greener than on a rainy day, and how about the glorious earth? Yes, there is beauty everywhere if only we take the time to look. Watch what happens when raindrops hit the trees. The leaves seem to dance, and the trees come alive with animation. Watchi
