:: Lost in Translation

When I visited my relative's house in Bangka, my cousin showed me an English textbook for high school level and wondered if I could translate a short essay consisted of four pharaghaps about a particular topic.

I did it and it was crap.

It turned out my Indonesian was crap. Really. I couldn't speak Indonesian translation in a right structure. I surely knew what the essay was trying to say, but I couldn't put the words correctly. I couldn't make a proper sentence in Indonesian so people could understand what I was tryin' to say...oh really, it was ugly.

But still, I can't be bothered to polish my Indonesian skills but instead, I do my TOEFL book I got when I took a course 5 years a go. Why? No particular reason actually but definetely to kill my time here since I have nothing to do.
