KFC, I Love To Eat at Your Restaurant, Except This One

I went to KFC nearby Stadium Sultan Mohd IV yesterday to have a breakfast with my fellow traders friends. Yep, traders. They are all businessman and none of them are Korean translator.

While having my breakfast, I was poked by this cute dinasor! Not only one, but a few. I noticed that this KFC branch have attracted a few cute dinasor like this, in this picture.

What the fuck is this animal? Can we eat this...emm, dinasor?

Buy Banquet Table

I went to Tesco Kota Bharu yesterday to buy a new table for myself which I wanna use it for my workspace.

The normal price is RM 80++ for the same banquet table but now it is on sale. I got it at less than RM50!! Yuhuu!

Buy your stuffs only during sales can save a lot of money.

Is Korean Product Is Good?

I found an advertisement while reading the latest issue of CLEO Magazine. 

They proudly advertised KOREAN in thier campaign.

Too proud of KOREAN or what? Is Korean is a really high quality product? Or...what?? I really can't understand while Korean is highly exposed in their ads.

Normally Malaysian people will pay some more attention for American product, Japanese product for a high quality product.

Chinese or Taiwan is synonym with low quality and cheap product. But Korea? I don't think Malaysia market have thier own percepation about products from Korea except for their Gangnam style and KPOP. 

Well..this is marketing. Maybe the marketer just want an attention from readers.

My Beef Stew

Well, I gave myself a nice treat today after finished doing a quite difficult translation job for a technical document (yah, English Korean translations). Finished a big bowl of Beef Stew and Fishball Soup without eating any rice. 

That's pretty awesome! Full my belly like this is damn so great. I didn't eat the rice even my order was including the chicken rice. Oh yah, did I told you that this is a great menu from The Chicken Rice Shop? I ordered a set for three but only two people ate them all ;) 

We added a regular size popiah also.

Heavy meal really makes me full till night. 

Really satisfied except the bill is RM52 haha

Pusat Bahasa Titian Jaya KB

If you are in Kota Bharu right now, you might be surprise with a spam advertisement all around Kota Bharu which is done by this low class English tuition center, named Pusat Bahasa Titian Jaya KB.

Their advertisement is everywhere, you can see even in the public toilet door. Initially I want to upload their stupid advertisement but since there is their phone number number on that ads, I cancel my plan. But seriously, I really feel annoyed with their spam ads.

I hope the city council will start removing their ads before they put their ads on every face of people in Kota Bharu. I think they might do that soon, yes, attach their ads on your forehead!

This English tuition center which is currently operating in Kota Bharu is really desperate to get a student. That is why we can see their advertisement is everywhere. I could not found any other reputable English tutor in Kota Bharu do this kind of spam. Only that company really loves to stamp stamp stamp their ads everywhere.

A good teacher or tuition don't deserve stupid advertisement like that. A good one (for example this English tutor) will be recommended by someone else.

Please Send A Word or Text Document

I got an order from a client from Germany this morning. He asked me to translate a technical document about a Volkswagen remote control, then after the payment made..he lend me a PDF file.

I am glad, there is Nitro to help me convert the file from PDF to Word.. but still, I would prefer a Word document or just Text Document. 

That will help me a lot in my translation work. I bet, other translator will agree with me that translating from a PDF would be quite tedious. This is because, the page that contains image will be converted to an image. So we, an English Korean translator should retype anything that has been converted to image. That's not really nice, right?

I am not complaining for doing this, but just glad if I get a fully editable document that can easily edited.

This is because, I am a real human English Korean translator. Not using either robot or software.

Different Word, Different Meaning

Please read the conversation below, it is funny but really interesting.

Do you know that, even though it is different words but actually the meaning it quite similar? But still, we have to use if properly.

Just like aeroplane and aircraft. Which one is correct to use and which situation to use that term.

Nitro Is The Best PDF Converter

As a freelance English Korean Translator, I deal with a lot of PDF file sent from my clients. Honestly, I really hope they will send me a Word document so then I don't have to convert the file from PDF to Word.

Yes, I am using Windows that why lah I need a Word document. We can't translate from PDF file because it is non editable.

What I will do when a client send a PDF document is, I will convert to Word document using Nitro.

FYI, Nitro is the best PDF converter I ever used. I have experience with some other converter but so far... I don't find other better converter.

Something I really love about Nitro, I don't have to install any program on my PC. Just upload the document to their website then download the Word document.

It's easy right?

And, it is free too.

Thanks Fishermen Friends

 

Gross cough today due to bad weather here. 

I got cough, flu and fever too. But, guess what. I recover from cough really fast. Thanks for this great lozeng, Fisherman's Friend. I am glad it is worked great.

No Machine Translators!

I visited a few translation marketplaces yesterday and I was surprised that many of translators worldwide using software, program or tools in their translation job!

Where is the real human translator in this world?

I definitely will not hire such robot translation services on the net. Go for real human translation services. Translations is an art, art of languages that can give a spirit for the reader. Not only a bored translated document.

Bing Translator Is Better Than Google Translate

Today is the first day I tried Bing Translator for myself. Not because I wanna use it for my translation work, but just to test is it reliable translation robot or not.

Still, real human English Korean translator is far better than robot.

Anyway, here is a simple translation work performed at Google Translate and Bing Translator.

I wrote: 난 사용해

Google Translate result : I'm using
Bing Translator: I used


So.. see it? Both are differ in meaning. That's the reason why you need a real human translator who did not use machine or translation tools in their work.
