Hi all! I noticed that throughout my whole site, I have used some foreign words and didn’t really include any translations because they were basic words. I guess it may be confusing for some. So I decided to summarise all the words used into one post and update it from time to time. I will not repeat some words because I tend to use them loads ^^

The guidelines are as follows: (J) – Japanese, (M) – Malay, (C) – Mandarin, (O) - Others

Updated 3/10/2011 – I noticed that there are different forms, so I’m going to include the different forms used and the original forms.
