Merdeka!!!!!!

Note: This post was postponed due to computer breakdown before I can even publish it. Thank god there's autosave. I love autosave. Blogspot rocks!!!

In conjunction with this 50th Years of Independence, I decided to blog in BM. I know, I know. Many people did it already. But I want to do also, can?

Sempena Hari Kemerdekaan yang ke-50, saya mengambil keputusan untuk menulis blog saya dalam Bahasa Melayu. Sekolah saya telah menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan ini pada 17th July lalu. Pihak sekolah telah merancang beberapa program-program untuk para pelajar. Antaranya termasuk satu perhimpunan rasmi dan para pelajar diminta untuk menulis mesej-mesej dan menggantungnya pada belon-belon. Walaupun dengan tulisan yang comot dan corak yang tak seberapa, saya akan mempamerkan mesej kami di sini. Terdapat 3 mesej saja kerana yang lain telah habis dipijak pelajar kerana mereka terlalu asyik memecahkan belon itu. Kawan-kawan saya dan saya tidak menghantar mesej kami kerana saya takut belon dan saya tidak meniup belon itu. Jadi, saya tidak menghantarnya.

Sebenarnya bagi saya, saya amat bersyukur yang kita dapat hidup di Malaysia. Walaupun terdapat banyak pertelingkahan tentang kerajaan dan sebagainya, bagi saya, baik kita terima saja dan tidak menimbulkan masalah. Saya tahu, ramai akan kata saya adalah penakut tetapi apa yang saya harapkan ialah hidup yang aman tanpa peperangan. Adakah kita mahu kembali kepada keadaan seperti 13th May? Dapatkah kita menukar keadaan negara kita melalui cara itu? Mungkin kamu akan kata yang saya ini jahil dan tidak tahu apa yang berlaku di dunia ini. Akan tetapi, saya hanya mahukan satu hidup yang aman damai. Saya takut dan tidak mahu peperangan sama ada perang saudara atau peperangan antara rakyat kita berulang. Memang ada jurang bangsa dan agama tetapi sekiranya kita lebih bertimbang rasa dan bertoleransi, sudah tentu segala-galanya akan beres.

Rakan-rakan saya dan saya menunjukkan cinta akan negara kami.

Blogging at Shan's

Lol. It sounds like some restaurant or something. You know? Like you call Secret Recipe as Secret's? =P Anyway, just got back from school, followed mum and mum dropped me at Shan's. She is having a 'release tension' party at her place tonight. Kononnya la. Its her birthday today. I just took my bath and now, its her turn. So I get to use her computer. And then again, if she is not bathing, she will still let me use it. Such a nice friend. I made some peach and mix fruit jelly for this party. I hope it is good, else, I will not admit that I made it. Easy peasy.

Oh, just before I continue ranting on without any aim or objective or whatsoever, I am going to dedicate the following paragraphs for Shan. I hope it will make her proud, happy and most of all, shed a tear of joy for being in our lives and for having us in her life. Yes, I am that 'perasan'.

People say high school friends last the longest. After Emmoes went to seperate path, perhaps its just the 2nd year apart but I wish to believe that my relationship with them will last. I do not want to lose my buddies in high school. Then, Benteng came into my life and I met Shan and Cheng Ling and Jas Lyn. I met them before. We were from the same school leh. But still, I finally got to know them better this year. Although it is selfish to say that I feel more connected to them compared to other new friends I met this year, I still have to say it. It is true and I really think that friends are people like them. Who walk in, change your life and try to stay on with you. It might be because I sit in front of Shan and behind Jas Lyn that I feel that way. Besides, Shan and Jas Lyn have very good temper and are very patient people. A good combination with the bad tempered and impatient me. I too have my good sides okay? Although er...not much. Hehe..Cheng Ling is the one who will always ask me, What if? *roll eyes*

Anyway, I am glad I got to know Shan as she is one of the nicest person on earth. She is even nicer than I am. =P Its hard to make me say this okay? Hehe. She is always smiling and she is very helpful. Glad to be able to celebrate her day with her. Love you Shan. Sing karaoke later okay? =P She is coming out. Gotta go...


Happy 19th Birthday Emoshan. You are so not Emo today. Love you. =)
ps: I just threatened her that I will IM all her MSN contact and ask them why they did not wish her. -sHaN sHaN- loves ping ping... =P This is also my work. Haha. I am bad. I spread her secret for loving me as a friend. =P

Analysis

  • If you like vanilla, you are colorful, impulsive, a risk taker who sets high goals and has high expectations of yourself. You also enjoy close family relationships. Gregarious, lives a hectic life. Easily suggestible, expressive, idealistic; a private person.
    (Prototype lovelorn housewife.)

(Prototype: Industry leaders, voted most likely to succeed in school.)

Sitting posture
It is said that a woman's sitting posture reveals a great deal about her personality.

Here are some of the sitting positions

1. Legs tightly closed together, vertical to the ground.

2. Legs crossed.

3. Feet open, with toes pointing to the sides.

4. Legs closed together, slightly tilted to one side.



1. Legs tightly closed, vertical to the ground.
She is tense, tends to be quiet, and does not easily open up to others, particularly strangers or people of authority. To communicate well with such a person, one needs most above all, patience and understanding.



2. Legs crossed.
She is an outgoing and self-confident woman, usually talkative and at ease in others' company. Depending on the case, some people may find such a person highly likable while others may find her a bit annoying. Her merits tend to be honesty, directness and loyalty, and her weaknesses probably explosiveness and lack of tact. She likes what she likes, and will stand little of what disgusts her.


3. Feet open, with toes pointing to the sides.
This is a tough woman, quite strong-headed. She observes others, decides what to do, and does it. Pleasing others and having a good time is not her goal; she wants things to be done. Depending on circumstances, she could be very talkative, even argumentative, but could simply fall silent if she chooses to do so. It's not going to be very productive to be fanciful so as to trick her; better be logical and reason with her. That way you show her your respect and seriousness.


4. Legs closed, slightly tilted to one side.
The woman has a strong sense of grace and style. She's gentle and ladylike, and can make friends and conquer enemies with her charm. It's not that she's insincere; she just feels that matters should be handled in civilized manners. She's very pleasant with favored companions and keeps her poise even when her sensibility is offended, she'll react later on and off the scene. She is, however, somewhat vulnerable to flattery, which may cause her to make bad decisions.


super true. I cross my legs. =P

Ah Long @ Loanshark

I am sure all of us have at least seen the name card of the Ah Longs being distributed into our post box every single day as if those cards are free. The card will be full of grammatical and spelling errors which I think is because they went to a cheaper printing company who don't even care to edit for them or even worst, PRINT THEMSELVES. They get so much profit, they can easily buy up the machine and start printing. Anyway, these cards will be of many colorful and attractive designs, with very sharp colors like red, orange or sometimes very artistic look. Their phone number will be of size 14 if the other wordings are of size 10. It doesn't matter cause their customers are usually blinded with the numbers only. Too desperate already. They even had promotions like first few days off interest. Then? Insanely high interest starts charging in and in no time, RM10000 become RM100 000. This is not robbing, this is even better than robbing.

Today's topic is not about the card. It is about how we should not be conned by the card. SAY NO TO LOANSHARKS CAUSE THEY ARE SHARKS!!! -.- lame? I know. The thing about splashing paints and writing on the walls does not happen only on television. They happen in real life too , which got me thinking, do they learn it from the television? I am sure some will roll their eyes and say, "Now only you know ah?" I knew this long long time ago but it just felt as though it is on television because it never happened before around my area. Everything has its first time and the wall painting with no beautiful graffiti finally happened at my area, my block, my floor but luckily, NOT my house. =P It happened to my neighbor's house whom my CNN neighbor says is the work of those 'sharks'.

It is a scary and traumatizing thing to happen to someone's house, especially yours. So, stay away from loansharks. They eat people with interest. Hoi!! Not mean they eat people as a hobby ok? They eat people with their high interest.

Hokkien sayings #1

The Hokkien language is full with proverbs and idioms to make the language more flowery. Just like other languages, Hokkien too has these beautiful sentences to convey message in much bombastic and metaphore way. I think Hokkien can easily pass as a main language if there is going to be a school where kids go there, learn and speak hokkien like how they are using Mandarin. Anyway, there's a few here that is quite interesting and I want to share it with everyone. Some might be self-created or passed down by family cause I seriously do not know which are the original ones.

- Cha zai boh gong tai (If this is known earlier, there won't be dumbo in this world.)
* Zhou chi mou hak yee/ Zhou chi mou pak chi (Canto. If this is known earlier, there won't be beggars around or if this is known earlier, there wont be idiots out there.)

- Beh hiau koh chun, hiam hai aik (Don't know how to row the boat, complain that the sea is narrow-something like 'bad workman blame his tools'.)

- Phak chik chu ki, cham huek thun. (Break your own teeth and swallow it with your own blood. Meaning, secrets that will be kept forever.)

- Sin jam ban ho pang sai (New toilet bowl, nicer to shit in. Means- whatever that is new, people will like to use it.)

- Che tang kua sai, chee gin jip ka boh lang chai. (If your house is at North or facing North *not sure*, money will flow in like nobody's business. =P Chee gin is money.)

- My eldest sis's version:- Che tang kua sai, hou seh char wa boh geh sai. (If your house is at North or facing North, your son and daugther will be toothless.)

Famous one.
- Jit lang jit phuah, kam zheng beh sua. (One people half, the relationship will be very good)

New one that I don't know.
- Jit lang jit su ku, kam zheng kah eh ku. (One people one quarter, relationship only can long lasting.)

Today is the first class. When I can think of more, I will share it here. We, the Hokkien Lang have a lot of these. Do check back again. I will post up more.

This comes back to you eventually

Things in life, they happen two ways. What you did, comes back to you ten fold. Imagine you are in her situation. Someone happily spreading rumours about you having a bf and that you courted your so-called bf. And unfortunately, that guy is no Brat Pitt. I know you are no Angelina Jolie either, but at least if you want to court, you'll go for Brat Pitt looks. Will you go and court what? Any "ah tu ah kau"? I can't help it if you are a b***h.

Anyway, at this time, will you wish that your friends are by your side and believe you? Especially when your friends know you longer than that so-called bf and his friends. And she knows that you are innocent. Will you hope that your friends believe in you? If you are the victim's friend, will you tell her what they told you? Will you help her to find for the truth? Because she is such a nice friend and she does not deserve this. Will you even care if people are going to call you names and start saying that you are a busybody? Seriously, the problem started from those who spread the rumours. So I don't even care if that person is going to call me with 1001 names because he is at wrong and HE DESERVE IT! He does not even have the right to say that people 'HAI' (got him into trouble) him because he did it and eventually the thing got to the person who are involved and they have the rights to let these gossip-kings to get it. Gossip is a girl's thing, can you guys stop being so sissy and start doing this girl thing?

Too bad your good friend just have to let me found out about it and we just have to settle this the girls way-seeking for the truth. And now we got the truth and cleared her name and no one cares even if you start calling people kaypo, chiak pa bo su cho or whatever 'nice' names cause I dare you to tell the truth and you will be despise for doing such thing to a girl. What has she done to make you shame her name like that? Sometimes, really beh tahan these people. Give people some respect can or not? Respect people like how you expect people to respect you. You think you very smart is it? Spreading such rumours that hurt a girl's reputation and feelings. A bunch of cowards. Go on spreading and be ready to get what you deserve!

ps: Truth is still out there and there's no need to find out the exact truth cause they know it themselves. What's more important is clearing one's name and hope this people will stop. and never for one second did I regret standing by you Shan, cause you are such a wonderful friend and you do not deserve this.

pps: We did not go scold that so-called bf. We only asked him if he knew about it and he got all fire up, like we can do anything about it. Call 'bomba'? He said he did not do it and we are not open to any explaination cause right now, nothing comes into head and there's a lot of questions left with no exact answers.

Blogthings. I run out of things to blog.

You Are Paper

Crafty and creative, you are able to adapt freely to almost any situation.
People tend to underestimate you, unless they've truly seen what you are capable of.
Deep down, you're always scheming and thinking up new plans. Your mind is constantly active.
You are quite capable of anything you dream of. You can always figure out a way to get what you want.

You can wrap a rock person up in your sheet of trickery.

A scissor person can sneak up and cut you to pieces.

When you fight: No one can anticipate your next move

If someone makes you mad: You'll attack them mercilessly when they're unprepared


You are a Career Girl!

You may not be a CEO yet, but you're well on your way to success.
You take your career seriously, and you wouldn't stop working for any guy!
An independent woman, you pay for your own car, clothes, and housing.
And men appreciate that - at least, the ones as driven as you are.


You Are An Attention Seeker

You're only human, so you can't help but want a little attention every now and then.
You love the spotlight, but only when it's well deserved. You'd hate to be known for the wrong thing.
And you also don't mind sharing the spotlight. You can easily give someone else credit or a complement.
You know there's enough attention to go around, and it makes you happy when your friends shine.

You come across as: Friendly and interesting

People may wrongly think you're: A little more modest than you actually are!



Kind of true eh. =P
