yeah that's true, hand just works better!
ah - memories of writing...
To Koa: What is your paper about? Are your major in literature or are you doing sth else?
I'd really like to know your real name if possible?
Thanks
Adil, hard to tell what my paper is about cos I'm not really sure myself... I was thinking of Russian literature of the 1960s, especially the magazines, but that seems hard to organise so I'm trying to decide on which aspect to focus...and there are many! it's just a small paper anyway, about 30 pages.
The cathegory of 'major' doesnt really apply to our system, what I study is 'foreign languages and literatures', my languages being English and Russian.
And my name uhm... I think i've happened to mention it sometimes if needed, but I'd prefer to remain anonymous in a forum...;)
Adil, if you'd happen to shout DEPECHE MODE, Koa will surelly turn around ;)
I wish you good luck. I'v passed through that experience and i know the stress included. Just remain focussed.Quote:

To vegetarian:
I have stopped eating meet (chicken, pork, beef) for a month, but still eat fish and egg once in a while. My Q: does egg also a part of diet allowed for vegetarian?
Hiya, sub.Quote:

In my opinion, it does not make one any more or less vegetarian, but depends entirely on your own beliefs, habits, and lifestyle. If you want to eat eggs, go ahead; and if some of the more "preaching" vegetarians or vegans taunt you about it, rely on yourself, and your own beliefs for turning vegetarian.
Many people adopting these eating habits, unfortunately, seem at risk for deficiences of protein and iron. Both the white and yolk of an egg contain all of the 20 necessary amino acids (the building-blocks of protein; nine of which the body needs from outside sources) to sustain good health; for vegetarians who do not eat eggs, I highly recommend eating lots of soy products and, perhaps, amino acid supplements. Iron seems a little more difficult to absorb through plant products (mostly dark-leaf vegetables), but, oddly, by maintaining a diet high in vitamin C, the vitamin phenomenally helps the body more efficiently absorb the iron in such vegetables; so eat your spinach and drink your orange juice! :D
Good luck, sub!
Thanks Mono :)
I didn't really have specific reason when I stopped eating meat (chicken, pork, beef). I just want to know whether I could stand not eating meat for a week. Then, I dont know, it just continue and it's been a month now. I do feel healtier though :) and I lost some weight, cause I consume much higher portion of vegetable and fruits. And somehow, I don't have apettite to eat meet again. I still eat fish cause sometimes I find it difficult to find vegetarian menus, esp when I went out for lunch with my work friends.
Speaking of which, sub, can you tell me something about the Indonesian language? I've recently become curious about it...Quote:

Is it similar to any other language? Which one? Is it read like it's written or are there many pronounciation rules? ... And so on... :D
Well Koa, Bahasa (means language) is not difficult to learn. Not only cause the words are in latin (compared to Japanese or Chinese), but also cause there's no specifications in objects (for instance like feminine and masculin in French). ALso, the structure of the languge is kinda simliar with written English.
Our language doesn't really have special arrangements for tenses like English ( past tense, past perfect, present perfect, etc)
For example:
In English:
I eat pancake
I'm eating pancake right now (eat changes to eating)
I ate pancake last night (eat changes to ate)
In Bahasa:
Saya (I) makan (eat) pancake
Saya (I) sedang (am) makan (eating) pancake
Saya (I) makan (ate) pancake tadi malam (last night)
You notice that the word makan doesn't change though the types of sentences are different
By the way, my current sig is in Bahasa :)
Funny thing, sub, this week in school we also decided to try the vegetarian menu. It was a bit tasteless in the beginning, but at the end of the week, it was quite tasty, funny thing.Quote:
