Zapp!!!

All of us were zapped by this, one way or another. (",)

Fashion..

Fashion does not discriminate.
Even dogs have shirts.  

Busy

"It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The questions is what are we busy about?" (Henry D. Thoreau)

Manners

Yesterday, my family organized an event with food, lots and lots of food, it was my family annual open house. The crowds started to flood the festivity at 4.00 p.m. and it continued until 12.00 midnight. As usual, it was a hectic day, the last final was friends of my youngest sister, most of them used to be my ex - students. I did told my sister to avoid being friend with them due to several issues at my previous employment. But as my mum often remind us, "treat our guest with respect, and entertain with full of hospitality no matter what their background are". Being good hosts, all my sisters did just that, they served dessert first while attending to the main course. In the process my third sister overheard one of the guest (the last crowd) said "Takde budget ke, smpaikan letak pisang dalam food salad". And it did not stop there, because he kept complaining, mumbling, and was rude even to us as host. 

In my mind at that time was "Giler kurang ajar, I do hope that you are an orphan, so that your parents would not die out of shame due to your attitude" Youngsters nowadays, eager to grow up, that they tend to forget the existence of important thing such as manner. 

Snuze & Suzy, thank you for coming...My mum pesan, do come again!!!

I am sad

I conducted a program for 320 students today, to share with them the important of English and how it can improve our life. I am sad, that all I can sum at the end of the program, to see that mostly Malay students are the one who acted like clowns, who has the mindset that it is a useless language, and their ignorance is just too appalling for me.
I don't blame the teachers, they try their best with limited space for exploring other methods due to constraint of syllabus and bureaucracy.
I am sad that nothing much has changed throughout the years, the peer pressure that I experience among my friends in school are still the basis that impedes students self development. The eagerness to please, and being popular among friends are more important than their future. There are others that knows how far the language can affect and change their life, but they may have second thoughts and just give up.

I am sad. "Melayu melayukan melayu".

Owh well

Since I was in school my style of writing attracted a lot of attention as well caused me few problems here and there. For me its normal, but for other, they tend to gawk and made me feel like a freak show at times. I need to turn my book upside down everytime I write, I have problem in doing drawings in my engineering drawing class, and I have to buy a special pen just for calligraphy.  My ex lecturer during my matriculation years once actually stopped and stared at me writing, and she actually said, "Cacat ke?" In which made the whole class laughed. And that was the last time being left handed actually bruised my self esteem. After that, I tend to ignore any curious eyes and any annoying questions. 
But tonight, I sat next to a stranger in my class, she glimpsed from the corner of her eyes when I started to write, and actually said "No one corrected you before ke, when you were young?", I said excuse me, she said "Yelah, when you were young no one corrected the way you write? Owh well, it's owkey, you turn out just fine".

I looked at her with a puzzled expression on my face, is it that bad being left handed?
