Elliot Yamin live in KL – Wait For You

This is the performance which I missed, although I actually went to the concert. I arrived way too late. Elliott started singing at about Maghrib time. It was already 8.30pm when we (my husband, myself and his friend) got there :(

But at least we saw Shaggy and Whitney.

Berterabur

I can’t work miracles. I tried but it’s too taxing. But I’ll give my best shot nevertheless.

I’m translating two articles written in Bahasa Malaysia by a reporter for one of the Malay publications. My job would be a whole lot easier if the article is well-written in the first place. By well-written I mean the article is well researched and uses simple and clear language. The language used in this article is as berterabur as Malay language can get. I swear this person had translated an English article into BM and expect the article to be reverted back into English. Can ah like that?

If the article was written well, the author would have taken half of the number of pages to convey the same message :P

But she’s paying me per page so who am I to complain? I’m just concerned that whoever is reading the English version will think I am a lousy translator. But I’m merely translating it as it appears in BM!

Oh well, back to work!
