My English journey started in a rather similar way as compared to every other Singaporean out there, in one of those stress-free environment know as a kindergarten. The song that goes "A, B, C, D E F G..." will forever be etched into our memories and I am most certain that the so called "adults" we call ourselves today still use it. English was suppose to be a simple subject, compared to others such as Science and math. It was supposed to come easily if not naturally, especially in a country such a Singapore, where English is heavily regarded in the society.
I really liked reading even as a kid. It was like being in another world. Movies was never a thing for me. It restricted my imagination of what the author of the book is trying to depict. Or maybe the actresses hired to act as a heroine was just not good enough. However, these escapades from reality will serve no additional purpose in my life.
I still struggled with the language as a kid. Spelling was never about pronunciation but instead took up whatever little memory space I had then. Grammar was a gamble. The situation did not improve over the years as the subject only got tougher and the only thing I learnt was how to hate it more. PSLE, O' Levels, A' Levels, and now even in QET, my mastery of the language has never fail to disappoint me. Thankfully, each time there was just enough vigor, or maybe luck, for me to scrape through each of these hurdles.
Maybe forcing me to attend this module may further aid my mastery in this language. Who knows?
For now, I will just pray that I can once again scrape through another hurdle known as ES1102
Once again,
Thank You Spellcheck.
