Blame My Keyboard

Well, sorry for not posting anything for the last few months.

Thanks to Maria for suggesting to me that I should post something. :)

I have been going around meeting some interesting people. That is why I didn't work as engineer because I enjoy meeting and talking to people rather than scrutinising pipelines and chemical plants. Although I am quite a good engineer. ;) I think I saved around RM 300K for my company during my first month working as Technical Trainee during my industrial attachment. See I told you that I am quite a good engineer. :)

Well, enough bragging.

Recently, I went back to my hometown; Raub. I saw one of my neighbours. I think he is about 10 years younger than me. When I saw him, it reminds me about his childhood days where he tries to befriend with other kids his age around the neighbourhood. The other kids seem to "bully" him because he can't commnicate with them. What do you expect he is the only Indian boy in the group of 6-7 Chinese kids. But I noticed things change quite rapidly, from using his limbs and facial expressions to commnicate, he improved to smuttering some basic Cantonese, then about 6 months time he can speak perfect Cantonese! I think his Cantonese must be perfect because his recent girlfriend is Chinese. Well, most of his girlfriends were Chinese!

Things have changed. Now, the few Chinese boys do not "bully" him anymore. To make things interesting the Indian boy is now the de facto leader of the group because he can speak Cantonese, Bahasa Malaysia, English and Tamil better than anyone of them.

The moral of the story is our brain can learn any language.

See you next time. ;)
