(wait, by writing this in the office, im slacking off work as well...)

well to me, its not confusing
its another one of those WTH?! moments..
u know , when u come across those words or sayings, idioms, whatever,
n those words does not make any sense(literal or not)
so im not confused by it
im just baffled, puzzled, curious...

*//
k-chan : stupid choco, thats almost the same as confused.
choco : stupid k-chan, ALMOST is NOT same. i can say whatever i want, its my blog~
*bangs k-chan hard on head*
//*

actually, English is not the only language that is confusing, try Bahasa melayu.
man, 22 years of speaking , living, experiencing, yet, it is still not enough to make u master the language,(at least not for me though).
it is even more confusing that English.
i have to say the reason is because, the language is very delicate.
very very delicate.
one word could bear so many different meanings.
im sure this characteristic is possesed by other languages as well, but bahasa melayu is my lingua franca, so i stick to it.
by commenting that bahasa melayu is delicate ealier, i meant that the language is rich, maybe too rich, and its too beautiful.
If one can understand the old literature that the ancient malay people have done, he is truly a man of brains.
hehe
why am i writing in english when im talking about the beauty of bahasa melayu?
well, i want other people,(english speakers) to acknowledge other languages.
eventhough people around the world can speak english, and stresses that the language is important, i strongly feel that we have to take pride in our own language, putting that first before other foreign languages. 
I look up to countries that could persist in retaining the foreigners to speak their language when coming to their country instead of being customized to follow the foreigners language.
Japan is a good example.

Enough said. i have run off too far from the actual topic.
Maybe its because of the reason that i continue this post after years have been passsed.
sorry.
too busy.


anyways, if anybody would notice, i started this blog in english, i meant to keep it taht way, yet, as i travel to more roads, gain more experience, i would say that i love my country, i love my bahasa melayu, hence, i`ll start writing in bahasa melayu from time to time.
Needless to say that preferences to my bahasa melayu is advisable only with the thought that i may not use correct bahasa melayu sentences, or grammar most of the tie, as what i write potrays what i would say in real life, or to be put simply, informal language of bahasa melayu.


many thanks for visitig my blog!
do drop a comment or two~
i`d really much appreciate that!
hehe




ps : thanks to my first follower, tqa~ i <3 u--

The Pitiful Penguin and the great chocobo `s fate

yup . thats right.
take one look at the tittle and i bet Enid Blytons came into ur mind.
(provided u kenal/is an avid reader of Enid Blyton la... )

anyways, the penguin in this story is none other than, my sister.

In the previous post i told u about how she called in the middle of work .

So i went to pick her up at her collage,
(selepas dihantar ke klinik oleh sang hero)
turns out, it was not that bad,
mr Cendawan even rushes back from office to offer help
(we all thought penguin had a sprained leg, at the very least, taking a flight from steep stairs)

when i arrived, i got one foot out of the car,
and getting ready to stand up and fetch penguin,
but she came right in right away,
as fast as her legs could carry,
with an injured arm instead.

O.o

Chocobo : Mane kaki ? *tengok kaki*
Penguin : ha? ni .. *tunjuk kaki*
Chocobo : Ok je. Pe yang sakit nye?
Penguin : Tangan la.. ngan pinggang ... bukan jatuh bergolek pun

hehe
i thought she tumbled down the stairs.
but i still couldnt help laughing the time she called me.
kept visualising the penguin fall from youtube and imagining it was my sister instead.

nuff said.
u should check out the photos.
hehe

tangan yang membengkak dan knuckles yang cedera

siku yang buruk

(mrCendawan : eee, bagi orang barang patuh amek balik, patot la jadi camtuh)

Chocobo : Camane leyh jatuh?
Penguin : ak baw makanan...
Chocobo : *terbahak* da agak da... ko memang--
Penguin : xdapat makan kuih cedap... *muke sedih*
Chocobo : padan muke.

Pengajaran 1 : lenkali jangan gejojoh, baw makanan sedap je terus lari turun bawah nak makan ...
Pengajaran 2 : Bibik pun satu, da mop tuh letak la warning sign ke ape, macam cleaner kat mall slalu wat, susah sangat wat announcement je satu umah. Seb bek si penguin tuh kemetot, fall die xterok, cube kalo galah yang jatuh, maw berlaku konkusi.


Oh yeah, i didnt get to see the result on the first day.
the website was nowhere near to what u would expect for a well-established university to be
I do not want to point fingers, but it should definitely be upgraded,
even its english suffers badly from grammatical errors.
i mean, come on, xkanlah universiti hebat tapi website cikai, ne?

so anyways,
i got my result,
and i didnt like it one bit.

but what i heard on a radio later that day changed my perspeective.

"Jika anda tak dapat ape yang anda suka, suka lah ape yang anda dapat"
Itulah tandanya bersyukur.

Fine,
saya bersyukur,
oleh itu,
saya suka result saya.
Eventhough i know i can do better,
i treat this as a lesson.
Besides, dah dapat keje da pun, watpe nak sibuk2 pasal result lagi, ne--

hari adik beradik sedunia

today is the "Bring Your Sister to Work " day. (declared by, yours truly...hehe)

i had so many chores to do waiting to be crossed out in my "to do" list.
i got so upset seeing so many chores are undone
so i thought i would just use this day to complete at least as many chores as i can, if not all..(bercita cita tinggi btoi...)

after contemplating with my own thought, considering all the possibilities, and weighing the consequences, also remembering which corner to turn, or which road to take,(i cepat lupe jalan, slalu sesat)... ive decided to choose 3 activities to be done and also decide upon whom i would take to accompany me; "si penguin." (my sister)

Q : Kenape name die si penguin?
A : sebab die tido dalam igloo yang sejuk GILER.
Q : kat North Pole tu ke?
A : x, kat Saujana Impian je, xyah g jauh2.
Q : ade igloo kat situ?
A : ye la, x caye, next time datang umah, aku bawak naik bilik, pasang aircond suhu 15, ko duk la situ sampai subuh. Silap2 x bangun.

anyways, the chores that i did today with my sister alongside me, (while she`s leeching away my money...
: nak beli ini lah, itu lah..) are :

senarai aktiviti2 yang telah dilakukan bersama penguin pada hari ini ialah seperti berikut :

1. pergi ke menara UITM , amek 3 copies of borang elaun thesis jpa dan elaun praktikal jpa.
(duit free, sape xmaw woooo...)

2. pergi ke bank Islam, tanye pasal duit tersekat kat atm bile nak dapat.
(jangan gelak, ilang duit sangat xbest. lagi2 bile duit atm xkeluar dengan sempurna maka ditelan balik oleh mesin atm yang evil.)

3. Bawak penguin g lunch di dewan MBSA.
(since die nak pegi umah kawan die dekat2 area tuh, dah alang2, pegi je la makan kat2 ngan situ)
(terpaksa makan nasi hari nih, sume penguin punye pasal, rosak diet aku)


pada hari2 yang biasa, tiada perkara yang pelik berlaku kepada kami berdua, sebab kami selalunya tidak mengendahkan apa2 keadaan yang melanda. Biarpun bangunan di sebelah tergolek ke ape ke, kitorang dengan muka batunye akan tetap meneruskan perjalanan.
xpernah kepingin nak amek kesah sape2, mahupun ape2.

akan tetapi, pada hari ini, persinggahan kami ke 3 tempat membuahkan 3 kejadian aneh, seterusnya meletakkan hari ini sebagai hari yang bukan biase. atau hari yang luar biasa.

1. MENARA UITM
situasi : ketika membeli belah makanan di cafe sebelah cafe menara, penjual itu dengan tekun menatap muka kami
dialog :
Penjual : *tenung* ... *berkerut*
Choco : *senyum dengan pelik*
Penjual : adik beradik ke kawan?
Choco : oh-- adik beradik. muka kitorang same x?
Penjual : same!
Choco : *muncung* ala.. mane same

2. BANK ISLAM
situasi : ketika bertanya di kaunter pertanyaan dengan kakak kaunter sambil diperhatikan 2 lelaki penjaga pintu / guard
Kakak : *tengok dua2* same ke?
Choco : datang same2 *xpaham ape kakak tu tanye sebenarnye*
Guard 1 : Kembar eh?
Guard 2 : mane plak kembar, adik beradik la!
Choco : *pusing belakang* tinggi pun xsame, ape la... *dan berlalu pergi*
*mengomel sorang2 : si penguin ni kemetot, ape plak kembar aku..ish--*
*maka si zirafah tembam dan penguin kemetot pun berjalan sambil meneruskan konversasi tentang kepelikan hari yang luar biasa ini*



konklusi : muka kitorang lansung xsame la!




ps : mase tulis nih penguin call, cakap die jatuh tangga, choco terus tergelak,
*terbayang penguin golek2 jatuh tangga klaka*
... kesian, kesian..--

maka choco pun bergegas ke penguin di klinik--

aaaaaaaaaaaaaape??!!!

DA PUKOL DUA BELAS SETENGAH LEBIH DA!!!

KATE NAK KUAR LEPAS PUKOL DUA BELAS!!!

bertenang.....

seb bek aku check pukol due belas setengah lebey...

mawnye i check pkol due belas kosong satu, abes bekas pensel pn Marina kosong dan isinye berterabur ke atas lantai macam semut2 kene belasah.

da mule penin2 da nih, sakit pewut, nak muntah.

x, bukan, jangan dok piki bukan2, simptom2 je same, penyakit xsame.

bile nervous slalu cmtuh

walaupun muka batu maintain tanpa perasaan.

dah la, malas nak layan da website tuh

indah khabar dari rupa.

hmmph.

yay!

ps: aku berjaya spam blog sendiri. bagus, ade peningkatan.

satu semut dua semut tiga semut....

nervous ok..

i gotta admit, this post has got nothin to do with semut, melainkan fakta semut2 banyak kat atas meja pn Marina nih, and kaki aku pun bersemut sebab dari tadi dok goyang2 mengalahkan atok tua umur 90 tahun.

kenapa semua ini berlaku?

mestila sebab hari ni result finals keluar!
itu pun tataw.
ape la.

i refuse to peek at the clock ever since i got here today in Pn Marina`s office.(teepoo, setiap jam tengok jam kat monitor skrin komputer).
Puan, mintak ampun, saye nervous sangat susah nak wat keje,
maka saye sibukkan diri dengan melayari internet dan membuang mase dengan membace blog2 tah sape2 tah secara random.

wah, dah pukul 12.30~(tengok jam lagi)
takotnye~
pagi tadi telah menipu diri ini dengan menyatakan dalam hati, "eleh, rilek ah, tiap2 sem pun check result, macam x biase...--"
kepale kotak ko.
rilek rilek hapenye... sampai2 je wat mende xberfaedah (atas alasan nak buang rasa darah gemuruh,DG).
sekali lagi, ampun puan.
tapi saye wat keje , puan, cume tak produktif sangat je.

*sambung wat keje jap, patuh taip balik*

tengok puan, kan saye wat keje nih~

hmm, semalam nak upload gambar pegi thailand.
tapi wayar lari dari umah
nak kene carik balik
tah sape culik tah.
ke lari dengan kekasih mane tah...

berhenti merepek Maisarah.

maka dengan ini, saye nak g check result jap.

wish me luck--
