Hello my readers... I'm sorry... That's what i can say for now. It has been over a month since my last post. Firstly, it is hard to come out with new ideas or essay. In addition, i am quite busy, as beaver building a new lodge. So, for this time, i juz want to post the vocabs, idioms and proverbs used for the "My First Day" post. Here we go... For the next post, i would like to share you about my new talent... :-)
