which then led me to…
truth is me and the rest of the pet ‘05 forecast batch have been fed with the idea that we’re goin overseas [and some deluded with fanatic ideas of australian unis, and in some rare cases nz unis, ehem2, but what to do], so basically the idea have been implanted there that it really is not very exciting. in fact, it’s just like, naik tingkatan or darjah or something. you know it’s coming, you have an idea of what’s it gonna be like, only with going overseas there’s all the hype, visa, med checkup, bla3. dont even get me started on the shopping one has to do to go overseas. everything pun nak beli. and when ur done with all the shopping [not exactly, its more of a lifelong journey], you appreciate even more all the little things that made life in Malaysia your home. even a stinky ktm can become solace, you appreciate the cool blast of its aircond, you’re no longer stressed out over the traffic jams and take the time to appreciate the surroundings, you use the public toilets and suraus with absolutely no feeling of disgust, you eat all kinds of malaysian food that you never really bothered to eat before, you look at people and feel a profound sense of wonder that all of them are so.. uniquely Malaysian.

haha.arent’t you just proud kim? i envy ur skills at writing such interesting, if not touching, posts. Your ‘unopened letter to the world’ is definitely a must-visit page. esp dulu la kan. on friday afternoons usually. ehem2. =]
i’m actually typing this while waiting to go for lunch. you see, i have loads or even tonnes of things to write about. but i seriously figured that i think faster than i type or write, which means by the time i sit here, ready to type a new post, semua pun hilang and then i just don’t know how to convey the msgs ive thought about days or weeks before. pretty frustrating. and when i force myself to ‘produce’ some written crap, memang sah2 jadi crap betul, tak tipu punyer.so yea, say my posts are getting dull etc (or drpd dulu dull kot?LOL), please don’t say i’m becoming stupid (hehe although there is a possibility it might be true).be kind okay?huhu
and…wah kamu budak2 dj boys and gals pegi futsal ya?sgt best?like apekah?kenapekah?dan di manakah? dev, moe, zam, zani semua join game aza and rakan2 ye.best gila ok.please please lets do something once im back in msia. specifically kepada eherrmmm yang dah plan trip ala2 camp Prs. i know u guys must have missed your ‘room’ kat PD tu.and when i can scream ‘WAT?’ so so loudly. they all have their significance aye? plus according to idzham end of this year semua kena meraikan ke-fly-an beliau. hello. others are leaving as well. shern ren, aza, idzham, i’ll see you ppl in aussie. chew ling and haizat, nz rite..?coolness. im not rich enough to go to the UK, ireland or Irbid. ok aziera, hidayah, alfian and suraiya? so yea.jumpa in msia only.
oh and yes Happy belated birthday to aziera, aza, ridzuan, sufya, yanna. many more you know who you are.
rite.so tonite we’ll be going to johnsonville and we are to perform our tari tualang tiga malay dance. which we have started practising for, since erm a month ago?or less than a month.entah. its this merdeka celebration hosted by the new zealand malaysian association.oh yes, Happy belated MERDEKA Malaysia. *kisses&hugs*. ive sort of this sense of satisfaction, since 2 months ago i’ve done the local ‘Kapahaka’ and now im with the WMSO team doing tari tualang tiga. one can never limit his or herself to only one culture and one way of life.
you see, now that brings me to the issue of G.U.B.R.A. being so called ‘perosak budaya’. haha.how hypocritical can we sometimes get. God, out of all the movies in Malaysia we choose to say gubra itu perosak budaya. come on, so it’s okay to be hugging and being affectionate in Sembilu etc etc but not gubra. just because the people involved in making sepet, rabun and gubra a success speak powderful england? wake up and smell the coffee! *slapslappunchthenjamukopi* i admit, the approach used in Yasmin Ahmad’s movies can be a bit over the hill, but isn’t it normal to have weaknesses which we then cure together, rather than finding in its every inch, a space to criticise, to condemn and then injure the whole production. truth is, from my observation, everything emerges from this element called JEAlousy. my respect goes to those who criticise the absolutely wrong and unnecessary scenes, but at the same time appreciates the effort that is being put in order to create something new in the industry.
the part i liked and like is that one when jason’s brother and orked were talking about malaysia being a multi-cultural country. it’s calming to know that there are ppl out there who appreciate and are very proud to be malaysians. haha i seriously like the lines they said. about alen wanting to migrate if there were only chinese in the country and orked wanting to run somewhere else if there were only malays in malaysia. God that is so true. i cannot imagine Malaysia having only one race, well literally lar(since we’re working on this having the Malaysian race, thats a different type of ‘race’) and i also don’t know why some people may think that things like say, inter-cultural marriage are extremely ‘foreign’ or impossible. Perhaps because of the type of schools i went to la kot yang buat my thinking this way. but honestly, i dislike even the sound of Malaysians naming or describing other Malaysians by race, unless lah its really needed in specific physical description. and by that i mean, erghh it just doesnt sound pleasant.
yeah, the good points such as the one above do not seem appealing to those yang suka condemn. oh and the scene bilal pegang anjing. God its not soo bad. why make a big fuss out of it. dah la ayat dia was ‘Nanti kena langgar lori lagi, siapa susah’ and then that dog just went away dengan kaki tempang. that was moving~!!!arrghh being the animal lover i am, thats just so kesiann..waaaa. and that, pun nak kena condemn gila2. aihh…do u even have a proof showing that tangan bilal or anjing tu basah ke, or bilal tu tak sertu and samak ke. im not a pro at these religious things, but my point is. we the hypocrites.
ah and of course, there was the following event of sharifah amani saying something like ‘i sound stupid if i speak malay’. ha ha ha. accurate interpretation is crucial! CRUCIAL. it may have meant ’saya punye bm tak bagus sgt, so saya cakap pun dengar cam tak best’ or well ‘memang kalau cakap bm ni saya kedengaran bodoh, sebab bm memang tak best’. eheheh so take your pick. it was wrong, but to make it a humongous issue, toksahla. ada banyak lagi issue yang perlu jadi headline berita. besides. to me it was a situation of benda yang undercover jadi lama dah (the issue of looking up kpd english instead of bm) just waiting for the covering bubble to burst. and so it did that nite. and only then barulah wahai malaysians bijaksana nak fikir yang it is quite a trend now for parents to teach their children english before they even know what ‘kendatipun’ means. haha tu analogi je kendatipun tu =p yeah u get my point. and then the sirent ‘tolong, tolong! BM dalam bahaya kepupusan’ gosh. learn and love the language. although you are aware that it is of limited use overseas, but still la, bahasa jiwa bangsa.alrite?
ah yes,wahai Chad, be really careful in ordering big companies out of your country. Losing 2 giant oil processing and producing companies isnt going to help your economy. Petronas and Chevron holds more than i think 60% of the oil-producing share di tempat anda tu. and i doubt they didn’t pay their taxes. hurm, controversies controversies.
and in case you are not aware, Malaysia gets her new KSN (ketua setiausaha negara, which happens to be the top spot dalam perkhidmatan awam) right about this moment. all the best Malaysia. may the perkhidmatan awam in our country improves a hell lot.hehe =] masuk office 8am ok?and do smile when dealing with others.sesungguhnya muka yang tak senyum itu sgt depressing, not only to your diri sendiri, malahan kepada orang yang memandang.
okay.so tonite off to johnsonville, and on monday im going to recite a poem for our majlis menyambut kemerdekaan bersama menteri pengajian tinggi malaysia, Dato’ Mustapa Mohamed. eheh we have met before, last year in putrajaya and i remember you but of course, who am i to be remembered.lol
after that its only the much awaited and anticipated Malaysian Night to be worried about. hehe bukan worry la.to be excited about je. the centre of gelisah-ness is undoubtedly, essay greek art yang belum start tapi dah kena submit, plus economics test yang belum di-study-kan lagi. well done untuk diri sendiri =]
*if my BM is getting worse, is my English getting any better? i wonder. you should too, one of the things we tend to ignore when studying overseas.hehe
