Cool Design Aside ....

Life goes on as normal. Or subnormally. I'm supposed to be typing some notes on 'The Acquisition of Language'. Actually, I was typing notes on that particular topic and then, the handwriting of my fellow coursemates got too individualistic to bear with... so here I am looking at my clean Dano (not w:bloggar today) and my brain's a bit muddled with Cardinal Vowels and Pure Vowels and Velic and Glottalic Positions and what not. Well a whole load of crap that I'm actually trying to digest while fiddling with some knowledge hidden *somewhere* at the back of my head about babbling, motherese and acquisition orders! I really enjoy General Linguistics except for the dictation sessions and the 'sit up straight and repeat after me' after which we go through the whole /i/, /i:/, /u/, /u:/ sequence... imagine 25 full-fledged adults (where yours truly is the youngest) making strange noises in order to 'truly understand the marvellous workings of the tongue height and its retracting effects'. Bull, I tell you. Bull...

Oh well...

Anyway just wanted to welcome Daryan back to OUG.... ah now we can get our pre (very long ago) planned OUG kaki Steven's Corner meet up. Which other BRAT belongs to OUG or the vicinity (Happy Garden, United Garden, Sri Petaling, Bukit Jalil, the likes!)? Hmmmmm......
