entah tersudut lalu sialan
sepulang dari kota Bandung yang indah nian itu. di jalan tol. saya duduk di depan. sang supir, seorang lelaki, yang mana dia adalah teman saya, mengancam ke 7 penumpang mobil itu yang terdiri dari 3 gadis cantik termasuk saya dan 5 orang dengan jenis kelamin: hmm, kabar terakhir.. yah mereka lelaki tulen: heh, awas aja lo semua kalau ada yang tidur. radio gue matiin. ac gak gue nyalain. kaca gue central lock. ahahaha. *ketawa setan*
intinya, dia minta di temani. saya tidak tidur. saya tidak dengar radio. saya hanya bernyanyi Take A Bow - Rihanna.
tau tau salah seorang teman saya bertanya: dew, kita cerita yang serem"yu. yg ttg jalan tol. kan kabarnya di sini serem.
yang lain berteriak: kagaaaaaakkk. awas aja lo cerita begituan. gue tidur!
saya hanya tertawa.
dia bertanya lagi: yaudah dew, kita tanya"an soal cewek aja yu. aku kan gak tau apa apa soal cewek. sama cewekku aja aku masih bingung.
saya jawab: iya mas. tanya apa? jgn yg aneh" ya!!
teman saya: dew, cewek itu liat cowok dari fisiknya aja yah emang?
saya: lho, aku sih fleksibel. aku gak kayak gitu. tapi majority emang. cewek bgitu.

Jum'at, December 25, 2009 @ 00.40 am
4 orang teman saya tertidur ternyata. tanpa radio. yang terdengar hanya sesi tanya jawab, narasumber: lia dewi.
teman saya: wah, apa kamu bukan tipe setia dew?
saya: saya orangnya fleksibel mas. saya mau yang serius. maka itu butuh proses. dan Tuhan belum ngasih saya buat hal serius. saya percaya kok Tuhan nyimpen a right man buat saya.
teman saya: oh. okay. but could u teach me why there is an unhandsome guy settled with a beautiful woman?
saya: i don't know. maybe si cewek emg cinta, atau kena rayuan gombal yg tokcer ataupun cewek itu matre. it could be anything lah mas.
teman saya: terus kenapa kamu sekarang jomblo? terlalu pemilih atau selalu liat yang lain, gak bisa fokus ke satu orang gitu yah?
@ 00.52 jakarta interchange, saya membayar uang tol dan mobil yang saya tumpangi ini keluar gerbang tol
saya jawab dengan nada datar: sudah hampir sampai. case closed yah mas. and don't ask me why! bcuz i don't know.

Beginning French Pronunciation
saya gak inget dapat dari mana, yang jelas bisa buat belajar lah.. hehe.
The basics of French pronunciation
French, like English, can be very difficult in terms of pronunciation, due to intricacies like silent letters, multiple sounds for a single letter, and endless exceptions to whatever rules you find. This site contains numerous lessons which explain the rules and exceptions of French pronunciation in great detail, which is great for advanced students but can be very confusing for beginners. Therefore, this lesson is an attempt to simplify French pronunciation, to make it easier for you to get started, even if you don't know how every letter combination is pronounced in every situation. While at some point, you will need to study more in-depth lessons on pronunciation, for the time being, this simplified pronunciation chart can help you get a good idea about how to pronounce new words.
Whenever possible, I have provided English words which use the same spelling. Failing that, I used French terms used in English, but if you don't know how to say these à la française, you will need to look them up in order to get the correct pronunciation. Failing either of these, I used an alternate spelling - these words are in [brackets] and the letters which make the relevant sound are in bold. When there is no real English equivalent, the nearest sound, if any, is explained in (parentheses) - for these letters and letter combinations, you should look really at the in-depth lessons. The LKL column indicates how I write that sound when spelling out pronunciation in other lessons. The letters and letter combinations are linked to detailed lessons, while the examples are hyperlinked to sound files in .wav format.
