Assalammualaikum!
Warm Greeting!

When you were a student I am sure most of you have someone who do you adored because of his or her successfulness in academic result or not only that but in some other way. You wanna achieved what that person has successful in and at the same time, you wanna be in that person shoes. It was because as a human being it is a natural thing for us to adore someone.

In the pas when I was once a student, I still remembered at that time I was secondary 1 or secondary2, I adored someone who is much, much more youger then I am. That person is my own cousin. By the name of: Mohd Taufiq Bin Misman. Short name I called him, Taufiq. The thing that made me adored him was not because of his academic result or any special talent that he might have. But it was just because of the way he speak English. Maybe you guys might be thinking, what so special about him speaking English? Because in Singapore, most people speak English and English has become a common language.

Well, to tell the truth he came from a family who most of the time speaks Malay. So when I heard him speak in fluent English, not only he made me adored but I was kind of fascinated as well. For us Asian people who our language is not English but our own Mother Tongue but in fact we can speak good English, a lot of practice need to be done.

As for me, I can’t speak fluent English or either good English. It was because whenever I tried to speak English, automatically I will shutter (gagap). It was as if people might think I do not know English. Where as the truth, I am the opposite side of person. What I mean was, I can write in English as fluently as how I wanna it to be. But not in the form of speaking. It was mainly because I don’t speak English often. Plus the fact that I came from Malay speaking family.

But when I think about this, if you are the kind of person who is like me, has trouble in speaking English, I guess not been able to speak good English don’t matter much. It was because we Asian people, especially in Singapore, I seldom heard people speak good English. Mostly, they will say in Singlish type of version. But let me tell you, frankly speaking if you are not able to write in English, you better do something about it. It was because if we are unable to speak English, most people understand Malay. Although they might only know a bit of Malay, so that is still considered, ‘conversation can still going on’. But if you are unable to write in English, you can’t just say you wanna write in Malay. It was because writing in English is a MUST!

Now back to the story about my cousin, Taufiq. As time moved on, I though there will be no difficulties for him to do well in his study because of the fluent English he speak. But when during N-Level result, how surprised I am when his mom told me that he failed his English. When I heard the news, I was like asking myself, ‘Failed in English? How dreadful it was!’ Because in my life, I never dream of anyone failed in English. Although I know they might be a small percentage of people in that case.

Adoring him was in the past that I did. But it was no longer now. It was because when he speak English, especially when he was in angry mood, his tone sounded ‘kind of action’. Like he never respected the person whom he was taking too.

I will end my post up until here because currently upon writing this post, I am not feeling well.
