Dialek

Aku salah seorang pembaca setia artikel oh bahasaku. Tiga artikel terbaru semuanya berkaitan dengan dialek. Memandangkan aku dari negeri yang dialeknya agak sukar untuk difahami, Aku amatlah faham kebimbangan penulis terhadap penggunaan dialek. Sesetengah aspek yang diutarakan memang betul,  contohnya adik aku sendiri pernah menggunakan dialek di dalam karangan. Bila dibaca, memang kelakar. tapi manalah dia tahu perkataan yang betul dalam bahasa melayu standard, sebab dia dari kecil sampai sekarang sudah terbiasa dengan dialek. Malah aku sendiri kadang-kadang tidak tahu perkataan atau istilah yang betul. Contohnya perkataan 'lemau' aku baru sahaja tahu pada tahun 2007, selepas 17 tahun hidup di Malaysia. Jadi aku agak adik-adik aku yang lain akan mengalami situasi yang sama, Aku pernah tulis pengalaman kali pertama belajar dan tinggal di selangor. daftar dan mula belajar di bulan februari 2006, tapi aku ambil masa 3/4 bulan untuk mula berteg...

Jemput baca dua artikel wiki yang aku baru saja tulis. 1) Azeotrop 2) Hukum Raoult

Fail

For the first time, i think i am mentally well prepared to fail. I think, it's very likely that i may fail this biochemistry subject. I still have one week, But there's a lot to study. Like really a looooooooooot. Biochemistry is killing me.

Lovestruck

"Even if we are far away from each other, we could still meet in our own dreams" "You'll no longer have nightmares. And the best part of dream is that is our virtual  meeting place." "A special place that no one else knows."

Terima Kasih

My german friend asked me how do we Malaysians say Thank you? I replied 'Terima Kasih'. He had no problem to pronounce it correctly. I then explained to him, that I do not really know how our ancestors came up with that phrase. But I personally think Terima Kasih has really a beautiful meaning. If you translate, terima is receive and kasih has something to with love, admiration and/or affection. Putting them together you will get 'i have received love'. That totally makes sense, So basically, you are thankful that someone has shown love/admiration/affection (to you). That was what I told him, Our ancestors might have different interpretations, Either way, its beauty lies there.

2016

I was in Frankfurt two days ago. I sat at one corner in the train station. One hour after being there, one woman came with her 4 kids to sit there as well. Judging from their size, I'd say the youngest is probably two years old. The twins are around 5-6 years old and the eldest daughter is, I think, 9 years old. She put her youngest child on the bench. Right after that she went somewhere else, leaving all 4 kids there. I remembered that she said something to the twins. I could not understand what she said. It was in arabic. I presumed that she told them to look after their brother. The youngest started to cry loudly as soon as her mother went away. Imagine, sitting in a train station full of people, and a kid sitting somewhat close to you was crying!  Others who were there shook their heads. I can respect your decision to have many kids. But I really cannot tolerate irresponsibility. I firmly believe that good parenting skills will result in well-rounded kids. If you think you...

Bling bling

My brother and I never really talk about personal matter or life, That kind of discussion is too uncomfortable and would probably lead to an extremely awkward situation. Even if we do have something to say to each other,  mum will be the middleman, well, middlewoman obviously. After that break-up my brother and I went to eat at a restaurant,. He opened up and told me that he too just broke up. I was shocked, because she  was probably the first girl that my mum liked. Judging from her behaviors and characters, I think I know why mum really likes a girl of that kind. 'There's no point in telling me how much mama likes her when her parents dont' He once overheard the conversation between that girl and her mother. She told her sternly that a guy like my brother has no future and  with the fact that he comes from a family that is not so well-off, he is therefore not capable of taking a good care of her daughter. Right after that they broke up. I mean who on earth will continue...
