speller senior.
Now, how many people actually write a draft of their blog post in Word before they actually post it on Blogger?
I don't know how many people do this, but I'm one of them. At least until a month ago, that is.
I find comfort in drafting my blog post in Word before I post it here for several reasons:
But some time ago, my cousins came over to my place and we didn't know what to do. So, I took out this game...
... and we played.
I can't believe that my spelling skills have gotten so rusty. Na (my 14 year old cousin) kept on telling me not to pretend to not know how to spell and that I shouldn't pretend to let them (her and her younger siblings) win just because they were younger.
Truth is, I wasn't pretending at all. I just couldn't spell certain things and they aren't even complicated words. Proves that I have been taking spelling so much for granted, owing to the fact that... Microsoft Word exists(???).
So, now, I am trying to type my drafts in Blogger itself. And trust me, there are always so many spelling mistakes. And my typing has become so much slower as there is no 'auto-correct' function. But it's a good thing in the end because at least I know that I shouldn't rely on technology so much.
O.U.T spells out.
ps.: Hari ini hari yang malas walaupun meja dah macam tongkang pecah dan perlu pergi meeting esok sendiri tanpa boss for the first time ever. Esok tu memang peluh keti. Damn...

I find comfort in drafting my blog post in Word before I post it here for several reasons:
- I hate spelling mistakes. I am embarrassed if my blog post is full of them, so I appreciate the 'auto-correct' function on Word;
- It's easier to budget the length of my blog post if I draft it in Word first. The maximum length of each blog post is one page in Word. Unless sensasi hangat ta tahan panas issues, of course.
- I'm suffering from obsessive compulsive disease. I hate to admit that to a certain extent I am a perfectionist, but actually, I basically don't like to make mistakes AT ALL. Not just spelling mistakes. My ayat must be nicely constructed. My story must make sense. Even if this is no competition, etc.
- Dah nama pon skema, mau buat apa.

Kalau kena masuk competition macam ni, guarantee peluh keti aku.
