Nintendo Wii Console
I got a notication letter from SCB that i m one of the winner for Wii! Yeah !LOL.....so happy! and i can collect from SCB from tomorrow! :D. Actually, i have the intention to buy after waited for more than 2 months for SCB to reply....They are so slow....but nvr, i still got it free!
How this come by? The baby bonus. All these year, we have locked our funds with DBS, but this year, MCYS informed that they will nominate 2 other banks to be the agent instead. And they are the SCB and OCBC. So we need to chose either of them. But I have 2 daughters with bb, so i chose 1 each. And this SCB has this promotion, 1st 100 application will get a Wii. So i quickly filled the form and mailed it out the very next day. While i submit to OCBC 1 month later for another application...hahahaha....i thought after waiting for 2 months nothing came from SCB, sure dont have le lah! Because, i have even received OCBC letter of approval much before SCB's letter of approval came. heehee, late better than nothing....

I attended a English course in British Council these 2 days, and the Training Consultant highlighted that we have been using too many preposition in our sentences. I told her we have been taught this way. And asked how come our English is also from UK, but is different. She said that along the way, the language had been "corrupted".
So i thought, could it be the reasons that most of us dint score VERY well in O A level for English! Our English language has been "corrupted" and we learnt the "wrong" grammar but our papers were being sent to UK to mark?
