Salam sejahtera Sharizal, It's good to see you again. Betul tu, sudah lama tak singgah. Terima kasih kerana Sharizal masih ingat nak singgah ke FunnyAccent. Alhamdulillah, Boston cuma mengalami hujan berterusan dan angin yang kuat, itu saja. Tapi beberapa kawasan luar dari Boston ada juga mengalami power outage.

There is a wide courtyard between a building I live and the next building. Three big and tall oak trees grow in this courtyard. On heavy snow days, I love to sit near the window with a cup of hot... Continue reading

You know when you read a book that you do not want to end and your heart goes, thump, thump, thump every time a character you cherish is about to mess her/his life again. You cheer the antagonist all the... Continue reading
