Yasmin Ahmad in Memory...

I never thought of writing this entry, because it’s been a while since Yasmin Ahmad passed away. But lately seeing her advertisement on TV makes me think of the wonderful image and values that she has incorporated through them. The real meaning and values of being a Malaysian. We should be proud of what we can offer those who looks upon us, maybe we are not as strong, or as advanced but we are as unique as we can be. People cry watching her advertisement, people laugh, and we feel that she is portraying the true meaning of Malaysian. A bit patriotic, I know maybe because this entry is written in the month of August... and before I forget, happy fasting to all Muslims where ever you are.

Liar!Liar! Pants on fire!!!!!!!

Can lying be classified as okay? Is it right to lie? If it is, what justify the action? One thing I hate is being lied to, as if the truth would hurt us more than lies. But lies become most hurtful when it becomes the truth of the moment. Am I making sense? I don't know, maybe the feeling of being lied to is lingering inside my mind and my heart and I don't know why am I bothering myself with these lies. Should I be mad, should I be sad? What should I be feeling?

What to do?

Have you ever been stuck in your life and you do not know what to do, you ponder your action, you think of you words, you search your feeling just to justify what happened to you... Hmm, actually I am, I do not know why but lately I've been a feeling a bit down, feeling let down, ignored and even hated by others... Is it just me, or it is a sign that I should take time off from the world that I am currently living, and go somewhere where people do not know who I am... Nice thought though, but I know it would never happen. Work have been my life for 6 years, it would be hard for me to just walk away... hehehehehe... That’s life... - Peace out -

P/s: I think I am falling for someone close to me... (",)

I'm back!!!!

It’s been a while since I wrote in my own blog. Well, this is a new resolution, "I will try to write as often as I can...”... ('',). This is because, thanks to a friend of mine, Julie, she said that she read what I wrote in my blog, so it is kind of nice knowing that out there your friends are still reading and wanting to know about u. Maybe not face to face, nor through the phone, but reading about your life in your blog, keeping track of you. Well recently, I quit my master, I was so excited to further my study but the institution that I have chosen was not as I expected, and due to that I quit. Maybe it is true sometimes things are not like what we expected, that's life, it can be disappointing and rewarding but it is the spices of our life, it was makes it interesting and unique.

Believe it or not I am still keeping in touch with my friend in the university years especially my matrix years, thanks to face book. And all of us are rekindling our life in matrix, O.M.G...I was thin back then... (Hmm... a reminder that I should be on a diet...hahahahaha). I miss that innocent but not yet corrupted life.... I miss my matrix years!!!!!!!!! And I miss you guys to... Keep reading, keep keeping in touch, and keep remembering... nothing can bring that life back except for us... Peace...

I wish.....

Sometimes we say this word when we are unable to turn back time, and correct everything that we consider as mistakes. Words that we never meant to say, action that we never want to take, but all we can do is say “I WISH... Sometimes I also think and just picture what life would be if I have taken a different road, maybe my life would be different, like the poem that Robert Frost written "Road Not Taken"... Interesting poem with deep meaning... Maybe we should stop looking behind and started to look forward. What done is done, we just make due... -peace-

Handphone... pleasure or heart ache???

Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, just to name a few, are types of hand phone. The latest the brand is the expensive the price would be. Hmm, but what is the used of expensive hand phone or cheaper one if the main reason for its existence is taken for granted. It is created to be a medium of communication in the world in which if you are too late, you will be left behind. But lately in my situation it become something that I despise, it is not right to blame the phone, the people behind the phone is the main reasons for today's entry. For us not to reply any sms send to us, nor picking up the phone, or even calling back for me seem to be inconsiderate. So what if the sms is neither a bit annoying nor sometimes irritating, we can always say that "Please do not disturb me today, I am a bit busy, I'll get back to you when I am free". This would be better instead of purposely ignoring. Everyone is given the same power of not replying or to be choosy to whom we want to sms, we can always say that "I prefer not to sms with you right now, can we sms later". Maybe the truth hurts, so silence is the only option... True, silence is golden for certain situation, but we should remember that sometimes the sms send or the phone call can be something important that would trigger certain events or situation, by not replying nor picking up, we may cause a person to waste time wondering and hoping for a reply, thus creating the feeling of heart ache... and set in motion some other feelings that would not exist in the first place if we reply or picking up the phone. - peace -

Saying Goodbye......

Many may wonder why I posted the picture above. Both are the pictures of students that have been a part of my life for some years now. And they are also going to leave me, one day. Perhaps I will leave before they do, who knows the future, surely we don't. I like this sentence so much "Life is too serious to be taken seriously" and with them I learn a lot on how to let go and just have fun. And with them I also learn it is hard to say good bye. Sometimes I do wonder why do we love someone if it just mean goodbye and heart ache. Well human is given to opportunity to experience the wonder of loving someone and also the pain of losing one. It balances the life that we live... Just take 5 minutes and think, is there anyone out there that we forgot to say that we love them, better say it before too late, we may regret of not doing so...

Hmmmm......

Hmmmm.... Normal word used every day in sms, which has a lot of meaning based on interpretation. It can have positive and negative connotation. English has a lot of funny words that have different meaning. If I say that I am gay, people would look at you and say "WHAT YOU ARE GAY????" but the meaning that I am trying to convey is that I am happy. So the meaning of a word does differ based on the sentences that it is being used. Interesting isn't it. We Malaysian prefer to translate, thus exist Malaysian English, "Don't play - play" (Jangan main- main), "You don't make my blood goes upstairs" (Jangan bagi saya naik darah), "Like coughing at the side of the stairs", (Melepaskan batuk di tepi tangga). I know that some of you are laughing if you are reading what I have just written.

This is the fact of life about Us, Malaysian and the English Language. Here are some tips to improve your English, it is as simple as A / B / C

a) Start with something simple, a song or just watching cartoon, but without the subtitle.

b) Start to send sms in English, try in full sentences not the simplified version of its.

c) Speak to a friend, try with the words as simple as hello and goodbye, then move on to simple sentences, example 'I just want to say hi".

d) Avoid direct translation any English sentences, because the translation would be a bit funny if it is done wrongly.

e) Build up confident by singing loudly, such as in a in KBOX... (Hehehehe). No one would laugh at you because it is happy hours. Like they can sing better than you.

f) Always have fun with English.

- Peace -

What am I thinking?

Right now I am stuck in understanding my assignment, so I am writing this entry. Last Sunday I watched a movie that I thought would be interesting, boy.... was I wrong. The movie sucks "big time" except for the fighting scene, and there were too much unnecessary scenes. It was an abstract movie how the ideology to kill a man would save millions. And the implementation, and planning towards saving millions require the most genius man Ozymandiaz to lie to everyone he knew and even killing the people that he called friends. Sacrificing his heart and his feeling and also not putting away any hope that he would be understood. The secrets of how he saves million can never be told and can never be gloat, among his friends, nor among the people does he save, because it can kill more... Ironic isn't it, the worst movie I've seen contain the most abstract message in it... So that’s all for tonight... If you want to see the movie, remember I warned you... so have fun!!! P/s the movie was "THE WATCHMEN

Life isn't fair.. so what?

Today's topic is a bit different from others; the previous one is often about me, my life, my work, and me... (Well...it is my blog). This time it is about someone whom I used to look up to. Sometimes I do envy him, with all the "special treatment" that he is given, how people look up to him highly but on the other the hand, the knowledge of it that he has, is from others. I often question why him, not me? Why do people praise him for the ideas but I've being doing it all my life and not even a single person notice it... Is it because he has the ability or power to influence people, or am I too stupid for doing things without considering the power of the word "NO". Like I said before, I choose that, so life isn't fair, so what...? Back to my friend, he was struck with harsh comments from others that may cause him to be awaken to the reality of life, that life isn't always fair, and now resignation from the post has been considered as an option... I used to respect him, looking up upon him as someone that is popular among my peers, right now, I sympathize with him, and I do wish that I am not at his place right now... Torn between things, love or loyalty... I rather be me...... But I wish that he will bounce back, stronger perhaps wiser than before.... peace... (",)
