pronouciation 'fun' ?
Short entry, before i go to bed. It's 4am already. Holy-molly!
Everyone, please put your hands togetha and congratulate me! It's because, I've got work at 12pm later on. "Nice one, Caron! *CLAPS*" "My pleasure, anytime. (: *BOWS*" Ok, whatever.. So my intention for this short lil entry is to tell you how much this pointless lil word just pisses me off whenever I hear someone say it. I mean, not knowing how to pronounce it but try to pronounce it and think they're right. Really! You probably do that too. Yes, the one readintg this. You do that, admit it. Lol, I'm not saying I'm perfecto.. Infact, I did say it the wrong way a few times. But now I know. I say it right. Hee-hee (: "Ok, Caron. Stop telling us how perfect you are in pronouncing words, I can too, duh! Whats the word that bugs you like you always get irritated over small lil things. For instance, I said 'is' instead of 'are' in that sentence. Urghhhhh." The word, ok.. Not really a word but it's an abbreviation. OK WHATEVER.. If im gonna be so particular if it's a word or abbreviation. That will take up another 60 minutes which is an hour's time to state the differences. & again some dumb arse just dont see the difference. HA HA! Loser. So the word(since some of you, see it as a word.)/abbreviation is AKA. Tell me how u pronounce it? Before you attempt to pronounce it, lemme tell you almost 60% of the Singaporeans wld pronounce it as "AHH-KAHH." Right, right?! Right. I did that last time till I watched a few videos and go find out on Wikipedia. I corrected myself and now Im good and not like a stupid ass to pronounce it as "AHH-KAHH." That isnt the correct pronounciation! LOL. It's pronounce as it is. Like "A-K-A." Get it? Say "EH-KAY-EH." That's how u pronounce it! (: Now u learn something new, *ahem* So yes, kiddos.. No more yelling to your friends/ anyone that has a nick name, for example: "HEY LOOK, THAT'S JOHNNY 'AHHHH-KAHHH' SHORTY!" It's gonna make u look stupid and yes, sound stupid also. (: ____ Just the other day, this new chap had started working at my work place. He works at the same station as me. I was havin my lunch break.. & He wanted to look for this cheese so he came running out, acting all panic as if, 2 masked robbers came charing into the store with a shot gun in both of their hands threatening him to hand over the Emmenthal cheese(WHAT? A cheese robber! Not interested in the money ah?! HAHAHAHAHA.) other wise they wld give him a good blow in his head. I think they should cos he's retarded and old.(FUCKING 32 YRS OLD.) And he kinda exclaim which nevertheless gave me a shock of my life. Who wouldnt? I was talking to my colleague and enjoying the rest of my break time.. Out of a sudden this, crazy 32 yr old dude come running out talking loudly telling u this cheese had already ran out like as if like what I said, either 2 masked cheese robbers came in asking for cheese or else wld give him a head shot. Other wise, without the cheese existence in another 5 minutes or so.. The world would end and the sky wld drop. -_- Back to him, came running out telling me we have ran out of the Emmenthal cheese.. This was exactly what he said ok?! No joke, I didnt make this up just becase I love to make up stories. LOL. Btw, his name is Justin. (WTF, same name as my cousin!) _____ Conversation in mandarin, btw. J: CARON! CARON! We dont have "Amanda" anymore! What are we gonna do??! (Feel like laughing? That was what he said ok! LOL, Amanda. That's my cousin's name and co-incidentally.. Both my cousin Justin & Amanda are siblings!) C: Huh? Amanda? Whose that? We have no Amanda working here, as far as I know. (Ive been working there for 2 months close to 3. He's been there like les than a week. How come he knows there's a girl named Amanda working there whom Ive never come across before? *Gulps* Dont scare me leh!) J: What? NO LAAAAA.. Not aa staff named Amanda la! It's the cheese! "AMANDA" cheese! Have u not heard of it before?? C: Er, no. For as long as I know. Ive not heard a cheese named "Amanda" or any of that sort. Wth is that?! J: ITS AMANDA CHEESE! (He wanna make it sound like "Ok, Im right and you ARE wrong." manner? URGHHH!) C: *Thinks.* Are you trying to say Emmenthal cheese?! J: Yes, that's right! Emmenthal(He pronounce it as "Amanda.") cheese! Yeah, we've run out of that. C: *Begins to laugh like a crazy bitch.* How possibly Emmenthal & Amanda sound alike?! They sound totally different. OMFG! J: Sorry la, I failed my English mah. Cannot blame me right? C: Yeah, I know. But its funny! *Continue to laugh.* They dont sound alike.. AT ALL! J: Aiyah, whatever laaaaah. _______ Firstly, Emmenthal is pronounced as "M-MAN-TILE." I was taught to pronounce this way. Im still gonna look up for the pronounciation, one day. So now tell me, does "M-MAN-TILE" sound like "ER-MAN-DER" ?!?!!? If you said yes, I suggest that you go date Justin already. He's single and available. THEY DONT SOUND ALIKE! Ok, they just.. DON'T! & Tht's final! Oh god, I wonder how that guy can come up with sucha name for the cheese. Ok, Im gonna name.. Gouda as "Geraldine." Gruyere as "Greenie." Ossau as "Oscar" Brie as "Brad" Tome Basque as "Tom Baxtor" Manchego as "Manchester" It's gonna be so fffffffuuuuuuuunnn. Then I dont have to deal with french pronounciation and make ridiculous faces. We shall just give each cheese an American name. How's that! (: Besides, that Justin dude giving human names to cheeses. He's gross too. Apparently, he likes the Blue Stilton cheese. He tells me it's delicious. OMG! Why would it be? You know why? Cos that cheese STINKS helllll. Blue cheese generally have gt a stronger smell and taste as well. EEEEK! Everytime Im asked to cut that, I have to hold my breath. Trust me, your poop smells better. It smells like, garbage truck. You know your neighbourhood garbage dump? Yeah, it smells like that. Gross not?! :O *Pukes.* Not only that, he farts. Normally, I have no problems with human fart. They do that out of boredom. Yes, teh guys especially. Like the louder their fart is. Victory wld be in their hands. It kinda bugs me when you fart in the middle of a serious conversation or u stop me out of a sudden den you fart. LOL. It's disturbing yet funny! So yes, in general I cant give a fuck if you fart. I wld just give u that look and say 'What the hell!' and that's it. But for this case I can never stand it. He farts at the deli station where poeople are workin and I was a few metres away from him. Nevermind, after that he said "That feels good." in mandarin! Comical enough? I say no! Hello, hygeine! Wheres ur sense of hygeine? Im beginning to suspect do all Shatec students have that common habit to let out gas in the middle of practical lessons in the kitchen when youre handling with food and stuff. I mean passing gas loud enough for your colleage/ friend to hear! Yes, he's from Shatec. He proudly announced that he graduated from there. "Er, ok.. No one asked, anyway!" So there is more than 1 reason to show an example that ure much more hygeinic/ cleaner than someone who doesnt graduate from any culinary school/ place which is MOI. Omg.. Luckily he wld be gone by the 1st of Oct to another outlet! Thank god. ______ Kk, gotta run! It's gonna be 5 soon! Argh, a short entry that leads to a long one! LOL. But I had fun. Hope u had fun reading it too. I shall go say Hi to "Amanda" tomorrow, whose standing in the cold fridge at Wine Connection's Bistro! :D |
