Pragmatics much?

Since 4C has no class for today, Port Dickson, here I am!
So today, I went out with my mother and get into this shop here. It says "Cuci Gudang". Whaaaaaat? When I first heard my mom said that she wanted to go there, I said "What kind of shop is this? A cleaning service?" I seriously don't understand. Like, genuinely don't understand. It turned out that the shop is closing down and they have this mega sale here. Owh, so that's what they meant by 'cuci gudang' -____-

And this is where pragmatics plays its role. We have to understand the underlying meaning of something, the semantic of the sentence instead of just looking at the syntactic part of the structure. Yeah yeaahhh, so I am being all academician today. Hell, no. I am just applying the knowledge I've gained in UiTM for these past few years. Well, I've been in UiTM Shah Alam since I'm 18 ^^

The moral of the story, study pragmatics so you'll understand humans better. Hoyeeaahhh! 
And this ends today's entry. Be safe people.
