Joke of the Week!

Once there were three turtles. One day they decided to go on a picnic. When they got there, they realized they had forgotten the soda. The youngest turtle said he would go home and get it if they wouldn't eat the sandwiches until he got back. A week went by, then a month, finally a year, when the two turtles said,"oh, come on, let's eat the sandwiches." Suddenly the little turtle popped up from behind a rock and said, "If you do, I won't go!"

Bad Day

(Daniel Powter)

Where is the moment we needed the most

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

They tell me your blue skies fade to gray

They tell me your passion's gone away

And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low

You're faking a smile with the coffee you go

You tell me your life's been way off line

You're falling to pieces every time

And I don't need no carryin' on

Because you had a bad day

You're taking one down

You sing a sad song just to turn it around

You say you don't know

You tell me don't lie

You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day

The camera don't lie

You're coming back down and you really don't mind

You had a bad day

You had a bad day

Will you need a blue sky holiday?

The point is they laugh at what you say

And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day

You're taking one down

You sing a sad song just to turn it around

You say you don't know

You tell me don't lie

You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day

The camera don't lie

You're coming back down and you really don't mind

You had a bad day

(Oooh.. a holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink

And the whole thing turns out wrong

You might not make it back and you know

That you could be well oh that strong

And I'm not wrong

(yeah...)

So where is the passion when you need it the most

Oh you and I

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day

You're taking one down

You sing a sad song just to turn it around

You say you don't know

You tell me don't lie

You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day

You've seen what you like

And how does it feel for one more time

You had a bad day

You had a bad day

Who put the hole in doughnuts?

are believed : dipercayai

cooking : masakan

hard : keras

asked : meminta

to take out : membuang / mengeluarkan

pals : kawan-kawan

Doughnuts are believed to have been the idea of an American schoolboy, called Hanson Gregory, who didn’t like his mum’s cooking very much. In the time before people had fridges food like cakes would go hard very quickly. Whenever Hanson got to the middle of his mum’s dough cakes they were too hard to eat. So he asked her to take the middle out before frying the dough. The idea soon caught on with Hanson’s pals and soon everyone was eating doughnuts.

Bagaimana menyebut matured?

Hi! Hari ini saya ingin berbincang mengenai sebutan perkataan matured. Ramai para pelajar, rakan-rakan, dan orang-orang di sekeliling saya gemar menyebut perkataan matured sebagai /mei-chet/ ( sebutan e seperti sebutan e dalam emak). Sebenarnya sebutan ini salah dan perlu diperbetulkan sebelum mat saleh di luar sana ternganga mendengar sebutan sumbangsih kita semua.;-)

Sebutan matured yang betul ialah /me-chu-et/ ( sebutan bagi kedua-dua e seperti sebutan e dalam emak). Jika anda masih kurang pasti dengan sebutannya, sila klik link dictionary online dan taip perkataan matured. Maksud dan audio sebutan akan terpapar di skrin anda. Klik ikon audio dan anda akan mendengar sebutannya yang tepat.

Matured bermaksud matang dan dewasa. Sinonimnya (synonym) pula ialah sensible dan grown-up dan banyak lagi. Jadi jika kita hendak menggunakan sinonim-sinonimnya, pastikan sinonim bersesuaian dengan konteks ayat kita. Kalau anda keliru tidak mengapa, saya akan cuba jelaskan apakah sinonim dan hubungkaitnya dengan konteks ayat di lain hari ya!
