...and the foot steps that I leave behind

exemplify

aku suka bergayut. bergayut yang mengikut definisi Ox-Youth Dictionary, bukan Cam-Tarzan Dictionary.
bergayut tu best. best sangat. kalau rase nak call sape2, i'll makesure dah settle semua makan,tandas,homework*konon*, and juga mata dalam keadaan segar. coz my bergayut session never ended less than half an hour. it will go up to 3 hours, sometimes.
 mungkin sebab tu, abah tak suka angkat phone kalau aku yang call. kalau dier terangkat dah phone tu, dier akan cakap apa yang mampu, tanya apa lagi yang perlu dan cepat-cepat pass kat orang lain. yang sweetnya is that after he passed the phone to others, mom usually, within few seconds, suara dia akan kedengaran balik, untuk seketika.
"Tepi sikit". Abah akan hantar kerusi, bagi orang yang berkenaan duduk. memahami betul perangai kaki bergayut anaknya. Kalau dia rasa ada topik yang dier pun nak cakap sama, atau memang takde siapa-siapa yang available untuk dipasskan phone tu, abah akan mengexcuse diri sekejap, pergi ambil kerusi atau perlahankan tv. mungkin nanti bila aku balik kene ubah suai ruang telefon tu, bagi ada kerusi siap-siap. ^_^.
tapi ada masalah lain jugak, aku cakap phone gune earphone, dengan ada mike sambungan lagi. so tangan aku tak lenguh, boleh sambil kutip-kutip bendaasing atas lantai pulak.  abah kena give-up jugak, bila tangan kiri and kanan dua-dua surrender.

 that's why i love you. you are the best dad in your own way. and you try. and always try to please me by any possible way. penat kaki, cari kerusi, penat tangan tukar-tukar.penat lagi, abah nominate sapa-sapa je yang pass by. kalau tak pass by, abah akan pass-by kan mereka.

reader digest tahun 2005 atau 2006 ada tulis, Malaysia antara negara yang budi bahase nye kurang. sebab tak macam mereka, kite tak bukakkan pintu and hold it for others, kite tak itu dan ini. kita sendawa (huh??) atau ape-ape jelah.
abah saya memang tak bukak pintu untuk kami masuk kerete, dan kadang-kadang kene marah pulak sebab tutup pintu tu kuat atau slow sangat.
tapi, abah saya  tolong passkan phone kat semua ahli rumah bagi saya yang duk 6000 batu lebih dengar suare semua orang dan tolong bawakan kerusi untuk orang-orang berkenaan bersembang dengan saya.
culture is subjective. same goes with most of other things. which is why, stop calculating, you wont find a,b,c as the answer.


-and for today's one hour and half gayuting, I got 1 new nephew. and he would be a maal hijrah baby if he was born here.  salam maal hijran lambat sehari untuk yang di UK dan tepat sehari untuk yang di Malaysia. *none is wrong, tak ada apa yang salah tentang perbezaan tarikh ini*

punningly pening me.

floor.
As he asked in a very serious tone, 'is there anymore question from the floor?", I don't know what sort of illness I have that makes me giggle while looking at the floor, searching for questions,in case the floor would speak to me and pass the question..I must be crazy..or even more the moment he caught me giggling when he throw a serious question .like, I'm dead.really am..macam xde lecturer lain ko nak main2!

And there's another lecturer of mine yang suke uses phrases like 'bear in mind that' 'bear in mind this', well, it is ok, except that everytime she said that, there'll be a grizzly bear, or polar bear, or even my pooh dancing along in my mind. And its super hard to make no one in the class heard my 'insane laugh' or at least a chuckle...tahan gelak is at some point much harder than tahan sakit, if u know what I mean!

There was 1 night that we called 'emergency night', happened almost 3 weeks ago. we had this conversation about garlic and onion, and honey, and lemon. -And I joined the conversation, and lalalalala, until after 5 minutes the rancak conversation suddenly  stopped when someone asked this; 'eh, why does this halia suddenly masuk in our conversation?". at that point, I knew, it must be me. the culprit. everytime people talk about garlic, my brain would then imagine a picture of ginger instead. And I would continue with ginger on and on until someone stop me.

Stop punning me,I'm so pening dah.

the most wanted word..

my visit to dinding jagung turned out to be very fruitful today, despite the nausea-dizzyhead-whatsoever sympstom I had to endured in our 1 hour plus journey to the school..kat Malaysia lagi byk cikgu2 yg kembara lagi lame nak gi sekolah kan? cekgu-cekgu are the best!! :)
We were asked to teach some of Malay words to our tutorial group today, great experience.. and after the session ended, I asked one of the girls, if there's anything else or any words they want to learn.

"What's LOVE in Malay?" (as expected...)
"LOVE is CINTA. CIN-TA" I said repeatedly. She frowned, and ask a rather unexpected question;
"Erm, is that a Chinese word? its sounds like Chinese word"
........
.........
...........
"No, no its not. LOVE in Chinese language would be AI. Like I-LOVE-YOU, is WO-AI-NI" (hahaha..the love expert in de making!!)

"oh..ok. Erm, I wonder, why does Chinese has a very different letters,alphabet unlike other languages? They have line, and cross...and..I don't know"
Terer betol soklan budak ni. As a tesl student, I didn't learn linguistic features to that extend..not that deep.. so,
"Well, honestly, I also don't know. its a very old language..it was used and created ages ago..sorry..I really don't know"
"Ok.."
Maaflah dik, akak pun belajar lagi..tau 3 patah tu je (kredit to KRU and, MatLUTfi)
.....
.......
...........
"But actually,  we have another word which also means LOVE. SAYANG also means LOVE in Malay. SA-YANG. Perhaps its easier for you to learn"
"Yeah, thanks" -happy gila muka dier...

Sempat mendirikan sebuah masjid too!! (taj mahal, said one of the students)

If I were to learn other languages, especially the one used in a country that I want to visit, 2 things that I would want to learn; thank you and sorry....they seem to matter more to me. :)

TOP LIAR DETECTORS!! -of mrs.tech n co.

Disclaimers:
1. Entry ini tiada niat untuk memberi promosi percuma kepada mana-mana pihak secara berbayar mahupun percuma.
2. Entry ini juga ditulis berdasarkan apa yang penulisnya tahu sahaja.
3. Entry ini TIADA niat untuk merosakan plan-plan penipuan sesiapa, atau membantu anda mengupgrade skill menipu. sekian.


When Mrs Technology and Co. memberitahu sesuatu, beri perhatian.

1. BBM: when chatting with someone or message someone to tell something, important or not, and there's no reply for that. take note on the letters and mark at the chats line.
Single tick, well the message is on its way. so, sabar, its ur gadgets fault.
The letter D, it has been delivered to that person. but, sabarlah, dier belom membacanya lagi. mungkin ke tandas kot??
The letter R, ok. the message has ben read. why no respond? ask that personlah....

2. Whatsapp.
Single tick (again) also means it is on its way to the other pihak.
Double ticks, it has safely arrived. But, it doesn't mean its been read yet or not. so,
Check up there, besides the name of the message receiver, if its stated 'online' (italic) errm.. that person is busy chatting wif someone else? kotttt... if not, it will show a longer line like ' last seen yesterday at 00:15' (italic).so, if your message was sent much much  earlier than 00:15 yesterday, the message receiver actually dah nampak dah mesej tu.. Ask that personlah nape tak reply. Try call, whatsapp dier rosak kot.

3. Skype
There's one bulat thing that goes pusing-pusing at the right side of your message, and it will continue rollercostering until the person is online and read it. But, if there's other person turn on this person's laptop, and the laptop is set to automatically onlined-the skype; maybe it wasn't the right person who read it. So, don't go crazy just yet. Communicate with the person first, that's was what communication means.

And there's fb chat,ym,googletalk,msn, n many more that isn't as terer as the above or that I am not so terer to explore.

P/s: if it is done purposely, (mengelak from answering you) well, why don't you read back your question/sentence. Then maybe you'll know why yourself. And I did this too, and I really hope that person will get my message then, that I actually have nothing more to say, thus the silence. Sebab, memang takde benda nak cakap pun. Siyesly..

                                                                         the frustrated lemonade.

entangled

Not in the right state of mind. Not even the right district.
Coz I'm in the left side. left, the past tense of leave.


Really, seriously,
I wish you would go away,
But the problem is,
We both know that
You are away.

Entangled.
I love to put myself into trouble.
And would only hate it when I realised that I'm already in it.
No difference. I'm still stuck here anyway.

little little things

you know how little little things could change and do something beyond ordinary expectation?

Little small typo mistake like the letter m and n,
Little smiley at the end of a short chat message
Little small bowl of soup and bits of fruit
Little ping and buzz and toin and etc
Little stripes of coolfevers and pills
Little question mark after the letter O and K
Little simple hand and eyes signals

And just a little prayer that was sent from afar.

It could change 39 to become 37.


Just little examples..yet so many more that could show  how small little things that was made with great effort and love, small things that came along with huge value and tiny little mistake that was simply overlook could give tremendous effect to someone's life. Therefore, learn to see and appreciate these little little things, because at the end every big stuff  begins from a small dot. Every big mistake also starts with a little error.



Like every long blogpost starts with letter ABC,      -ok fine micheal, its literacy! *********

hari-hari adalah hari raya.I wish so.

Sabtu- hari pulun main masak-masak beramai-ramai. menjala bersama-sama,kemudian mempulun hasil jalaan bersama.tak,dapat satu je last-last. huhuhuhu. dapat tengok bunga api selama 15 minit, heartshape,unik dan cantik. tahun terakhir, glad we made it, finally.
Ahad- hari raya. pakai cantik2,muke senyum lawa2, hugs n kisses indah2, dan lauk pauk enak2. rindu family-unable to describe.
Hari ini: wahhhhh..I'm sure now that am fully grow up, and matured and far cooler than before. if I wasn't some volcano might have exploded. alkisah~~~ while withdrawing my, and my housemates money -ye,kami memang banyak duit.dalam mimpi- so, there are these anonymous group consists of a not so lady and two not so gentlemen loudly saying stuff that somehow, articulate my sense of anger and upsetness and turn me into a cameleon.a red face one. Really red one.
U know, the f*** and i****?
Ok, as today I read a quote at fb saying smtg that might sound like this; 'make ur anger too expensive for anyone to..err ape ntah.google sendiri. " so, ok. I am not angry. titik. Tapi...diskriminasi terhadap benua dan agama memang kasi sape2 je panaz kan?
 huh. memandangkan esok adalah hari selasa yang amat menyelesakan itu, eloklah kata2 itu masuk kubusyh je dulu. m getting my nap now. lalalalalalalala
