Gig!

SHOW WAS SPLENDID LAST NIGHT;

I have never felt like this before, due to the fact I have lots of work to do during weekday's, until my friend sent me a message about going to the gig! why not? 
I thought these gig(s) are going to be boring but when I walked out the venue, I was like : Yeah sure, sure there will be a next time.

Special shout out to Bryan's amazing guitar skills!!!!! 

I did have fun chatting and chilling with you guys, and it was a pleasure to see your performance.

Furthermore, I paid quite a lot of attention while watching ' Circus of Insanity', there was a bit of humour and acting during the show , I mean it's not what I expected at all ,therefore I find it very interesting!

It's like zombie but in a cute way obviously!!

I really enjoyed their songs, It's very catchy and the melody was good, even though I got hit. (laughs)

Ellen - The prettiest keyboardist I've met in my life!

Happy National Poetry Day!

Happy National Poetry Day! Am very excited because it is the day when people celebrates poetry's.



 Here, I am dedicated to tell everyone about my favourite poem through out my life, not full of encouragement but I love the words about it and how the poet trying to represent himself in this poem.

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone

W. H. Auden

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

'Movie' or 'film'?

BRITISH ENGLISH OR AMERICAN ENGLISH?

All the time, all the time , there has always been some words that do confuses people, for example, words such as 'Fall' and 'Autumn'.
They both have the lexical field of  'weather' but described in different ways, to the people who are not familiar with American English like the British people, they might think 'Oh yeah, that's a pile of bullsh*t'.

Back in the days where English has originally formed from French/ Latin words, could have been much more and more histories behind the whole thing if you're talking about history. However, I am definitely not going into such deep talk about it. - it may bores you and me!
Recently I have been reading an article about English Language and noticed that the 'TH' sound in British english will be gone by 2066. whereas no more proper British language due to the muticulturalism said by the linguists in this research.
As a linguist in English Language, I do feel disgraced, devastated and concerned about the whole situation we are in now.

'Th' sound to vanish from English language by 2066 because of multiculturalism, say linguists

Multiculturalism is important;

According to researches from the tourists, visitors came from different places around the world expecting to see and hear Queen's English (or Standard English you may refer to) on the street while banging on the street. but this may be gone after 50 years due to multiculturalism, SE could be extincted forever!

'Given the status of London as the linguistically most influential city in the English-speaking world, we can expect to see significant changes between now and the middle of the century' - Dr Dominic Watt, a sociolinguistics expert from the University of York.

We're an English speaking country (proud to be!) - however, a lot of the things are influenced by the Americans such as TVs, Magazines, Films or even netflix.

The majority of the people, including 'you' who is reading this article may have been using some American slang words at some point, does not matter where are you from or which language do you speak.

90% of the people in the world are learning english, but only 25% could speak proper English because American English has evolved to become less formal and much more simpler, so foreigners does find it easier to learn American English.

A lot of non verbal communication skills are also replacing English Language, so Emojis may be part of your life by the time we reach to 2066.
