Broca's aphasia

Broca's aphasia. is defined as a language disorder attributed to damage in the frontal lobe of the brain.

it was discovered by and named after a French surgeon who noticed that some patients spoke in halting, ungrammatical speech following a stroke or accident (Broca, 1865)

these patients were typically limited to expressing themselves by stringing together simple words.

for example,

yes ... ah ... Monday err ...Dad and Peter ...I errr... tell you .... ahh ... you ....very ... hahaha...aiyo .... you hor ... very bad ... don't want... la ...


does it sound familiar to you? because, u and i, we SPEAK like this!

i realize that most of the Malaysian have minor symptoms of Broca's aphasia.

we were too used to ahh, err and lotsa pauses in our conversation. so when i came across this in my cognition text book, i felt that this is so funny, and decided to share!

well, im too bored of studying actually. im finding my way out. arrgghhhh...


and by the way, last night was a very funny night.

we were supposed to go yamcha at night. so i fetched one of my friends on my motorbike, while yong fetched ping with her motorbike. kent and others are waiting for us at the place.

so usually i ride very fast wan. while i was chatting with my friend, i drove by the place. i stopped at the mamak stall at the right corner of the shop lot. then both of us kept waiting. where are the rest ar? then we encountered some of other friends, some acquintance. and i was wondering, where's yong and ah kent they all?

we both were standing in front of the mamak stall, and looking for them. then i said, "isn't this the place? i couldn't be mistaken gua..."

then the other customer said:" mei mei ar, the place u mentioned is at the other end of this shop lot. not here la."

OMG it was damn embarrasing lo. then we quickly drove to the place, while yong they all were laughing and waiting for us. isshhh... i declare that im not from Jenjarom k? i don't know the place. i very innocent that i don't even go out yamcha at night. isshhh...

oh ya, yong told me something that is quite hilarious too. she said last Sunday, her sister went to play basketball with her friends. when she came back, she looked so surprised and yelled at her

"er jie, do u know that ying rou broke up with her bf d?"

then i was wondering. i barely talk to her sister wor. i could just recognize her and greet her when i met her. so yong asked her, stunningly.

"how u know?"

"neh, my friend is her cousin's friend's friends ma. her cousin saw in facebook. then she told her friends. her friends told her another friends. and then pass to me. so i know lo..."


wow. the power of facebook! i should really not underestimate it next time. the news spread from subang to jenjarom. and then she said

"er jie, actually a lot of people know about this d. she's XXX' s daughter ma. so u tell her, don't be sad la. she so pretty and young."

well, she left me speechless.

and then, yong's mother chimed into the conversation. she met both of us few times before.

"ah yong ar, u go tell ying rou la. she so beautiful. im so sure she can find a better wan. don't be so upset. ...."


all of us couldn't stop laughing after she told me. i officially prove my theory that, people in Jenjarom are too free to bother about their own stuffs, and they are extremely sensitive to gossips that are not even in their area. thumbs up!


okie, time's up. i shall go take a nap, and continue studying. Qun coming back tonight. hope we can go out again! yayyy!
