English Good Time!

With absolute no pun intended, I definitely had an English good time when I hang out with Englishman.

While strolling around Raffles Hotel this afternoon, Joyce pointed out in the most tactful manner that I have a funny way of using fetch, take & bring.

I guess it must have been something that was getting on her nerves that she finally had to tell me.

I don't blame her. I get all squirmy when people cannot pronounce the word "Japanese" & "lettuce" in the right way.

Let me practise a little here with you:

John will fetch you from school

John will take you to the hotel

John will bring the wine to you.

You know what? This is certainly not something new to me because once in a big blue moon, my dad will start his grammar-in-the-car lessons with me and it was just horrible!

I never could get it right anyway :(

When we finally settled back at Brian's place, ran through tmr's schedule at Brian's desk, he suddenly interrupted and said I shouldn't say, "Can you help me hold these"

To use the word help means ..... ?

I don't know. I forgot what he said!

Anyway, I sure am in a good environment of Englishmen to correct me.

I loved every moment of it.

And... yes Dad, you can stop your I-told-you-so stare now!
