World Englishes and the Convergence of Blogpals
Posted by lovelyloey on October 12, 2007
Currently I’m involved in a Lecture On-Demand series titled “World Englishes and Miscommunications”, which is a lecture series that spans over 5 countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, Japan and the Philippines) in SEA and East Asia. We converge on the cyberspace, in a virtual classroom to discuss essentially World Englishes.
Why am I talking about this?
BECAUSE SULZ, WHO IS IN MALAYSIA, IS INVOLVED IN THE SAME PROGRAMME.
(Eek. Somehow I feel like I’m a 15-year-old who’ve met up her IRC friend for the first time. Haha.
But she cleverly evaded the video camera so she only saw me, and I didn’t see her.)
Anyway, this lecture series promises to be great fun and thought-provoking as we deal with issues with EL in the region.

got carl’s jr here already but haven’t tried – freaking expensive! must save first…
but there’s godiva at singapore, hor?
Godiva? Yes. Heard the chocolate shake thing is totally decadent and sinful. Kinda like molten chocolate. Haven’t tried. Yeah, Carl’s Jr is expensive; 1 burger is approx. 2 McD meals. BUT, I’ll choose 1 Carl’s Jr. burger over McDs any day.
