THE BREAKFAST AT LISETTE'S IN SUBANG JAYA

   1ST MAY 2025    ~ Three ex-students of SMS Muar were again gathered for another gastronomic adventure. This time, the moderator decided to have English breakfast at Lisette's which was just beside the hotel where I was staying in Subang Jaya.

We were the second group of diners to arrive at about 8:00 a.m. and the place was still empty.

This was actually our second meeting this year. The first one was held in February [READ HERE AND HERE]. Guess we have been meeting more frequently now as there are more contents to be gossiped it seems.

We were there for about two hours and I had to get ready to attend a wedding reception. One of the ladies was kind enough to drive me there.

Thanks Puan Adura Adnan and Puan Hafizah Mohd. Nor for the time and company, the delicious English breakfast and the gifts as well. We shall meet for our next gathering, time unknown.

Grammar Nazi is everywhere 😃

SPOT THE ERROR 131

Found in a mall.

ERROR #1: spelling of "OPENNING" - should be "OPENING"
ERROR #2: it is not correct to say "WE ARE OPENING".
It should be: "WE ARE OPEN".

Thanks Mr. Azhar Ahmad for the feed, all the way from Seremban.

SPOT THE ERROR - PHNOM PENH 1

SPOT THE ERROR 121

I was thinking of something else.

Thanks to the Malay words, which mean something like: offering construction work for house renovation. The English word must have derived from the word CONTRACTOR.

REVISITING THE FORM 3 STUDENTS OF SMK SRI KUKUP

I was again invited to conduct an English workshop with PT3 candidates at SMK Seri Kukup in Pontian. The school is located approximately 60 kilometres away from home.

The session started at 8:30 a.m. and lasted for about 4 hours. (Almost) All the students were attentive and were doing all the exercises given throughout the workshop.

Wishing the students of SMK Sri Kukup the very best of luck in their upcoming PT3 Examination this Tuesday. Hopefully the workshop will them a little, if not a lot, in answering the questions later.

This could be my very last talk given for PT3 Examination as there could be a new format for next year. Up until today, we the teachers are still kept in the dark of what is about to happen to the students.

SPOT THE ERROR 113

Walking relives back pain?

OR

Walking relieves back pain?

SPOT THE ERROR - SAUDI 4

The sepelling... oh, I mean SPELLING.

Thanks Mr. Ridwan Wahid for the feed.

SPOT THE ERROR 110

Spot the difference, for the error.

Seen at a hotel, before and after a complaint was made.

And shouldn't it be: Check our best rates and promotions at www.nameofwebsite.com and book direct.

Thanks Prof. Malachi Edwin for the feed.

SPOT THE ERROR - SAUDI 3

the spelling...

Thanks Mr. Ridwan Wahid for the feed.

*Grammar policeman is everywhere*

SPOT THE ERROR 109

I was at this one hypermarket yesterday and came across this banner which was full of errors. Mr. Grammar Policeman was very happy indeed.

I could detect four errors. What about you?

Spelling errors for the words "MAINTENANCE", "WE'RE" and "INCONVENIENCE".

The last part of the sentence should read: "We're sorry for the inconvenience caused".

And there should be full stops/periods (American) to separate the two sentences. 

SPOT THE ERROR - SAUDI 2

Another one from Saudi Arabia, courtesy of my friend who was there during his short stay.

One grammar error and one spelling error.

I have warned you, grammar policeman is everywhere.

Thanks Mr. Ridwan Wahid for the feed.

SPOT THE ERROR - SAUDI 1

A friend went to Madinah/Mekah and sent me this.

I guess grammar policeman is everywhere.

Thanks Mr. Ridwan Wahid for the feed.

SPOT THE ERROR 108

Another commonly spelled word.

Thanks Puan Suriana Ali and Puan Hanita Kassim for the feed, all the way from Kuantan.

SPOT THE ERROR 107

Look at the top part of the calendar.

The correct version should be:

"Let your dreams lead your way."

SPOT THE ERROR - BANDUNG 3

"DISC" should be the short form of "discount", I think.

Try and guess, what was actually being sold at 25% discount?

Thanks to Puan Siti Rohani Awang for providing me with the feed while she was (happily) shopping in Bandung.

SPOT THE ERROR 99

Posted on a student's board at one place in school, and of course I won't tell which school.

I think the correct version should be: thank you for giving me a ride. (And "alot" should be written as two words: "a lot", but this one is still forgiven).

SPOT THE ERROR - MEDAN 1

~ the unnecessary apostrophe ~
