Wah! Min sent me this link to a very good website because I am always forgetting some basic grammar rules. The Grammar Girl is very helpful. This episode of her podcast taught me about ‘used to’ and ‘use to’. So I can say ‘I used to catch spiders with John when we were small boys,’ but I cannot say, ‘I use to drink Horlicks when I was in primary school.’ Good right?

Also, I had a very interesting time at work today. I told my American client that his marketing concept was going to be a hit, and he was very confused.  When I checked my Sent folder I found that I had told him that his marketing “conception” was going to be a hit. No wonder! English can be really complicated, but the classes I’m attending at the British Council will help me. Yesterday our trainer taught us how to use the correct vocabulary for work and socialising. It was quite fun, actually. We did a roleplay for different work scenarios and I was the manager, haha!

Hui Min return me my presentation today, and I realised I left her poem inside. She didn’t say anything about it. I feel so embarrassed. But I also need to know how she feels. How? :(
