  • FullHouse

    Meeting up with a good friend of mine, Charlie, for lunch at SP last week. 

    FullHouse Sunway Pyramid is a concept store cafe that has a Korean drama theme, lots of cutesy shyt and imported Korean clothing/accessories/hats etc. 

    Haven't seen her for some time now. Talked for a few hours long after the coffee turned cold. So much to catch up on. :D 

    Chocolate brownies with vanilla ice cream. 

    Spaghetti carbonara. yums. 

    Food was okay, a little pricey. 

    Cover of one of my favourite songs. Guitar playing isn't that good. :/

    P.s: I love Rian's voice <3

  • Why I Like Speaking Malay

    I was jogging at Bukit Jalil Park with my bro the other day and we were talking about how unfit the two of us was, because my mom (despite already in her 50s) was miles ahead of us. That's not the point here though. The point is our conversation. 

    • Me: Eh apelah ko ni lari sikit tu dah tercungap-cungap. (Eh, what la you. Running a bit and already out of breath)
    • Bro: Macamlah ko tu baik sgt. Dahlah gemuk. (Like you're much fitter. So fat and all) 

     

    This uncle who was running right next to us gave us a very confused look, like a squinty, brow-furrowed kinda look, as to why two Chinese-looking kids (yes we're dark, but we still look Chinese. My bro has the chinkiest eyes ever, they're practically slits.) were speaking Malay with each other. 

    Yes, I speak Malay with my brother. It's a subconcious thing: just like how people naturally speak their mothertongue to each other, I've been speaking Malay with my brother since I don't know when. It's probably coz we went to national schools as opposed to Chinese schools. I went to a national school with a high Malay student ratio (There were only 2 Chinese kids in my class) and since I was seven, Malay was my second most strong language. I was very fluent, had Malay accent and all, and being dark and skinny, people often mistook me for a Malay girl. There was once I was out with a bunch of friends and this lady pointed at me to her husband and said "Tu budak Cina ke Melayu?" (Is that a Chinese or a Malay girl?) In fact, I rarely spoke Chinese until I grew older coz when I was younger I spoke English at home. Same goes for the bro. 

    Bahasa Melayu (aka Malay) is the official language in Malaysia and is the most widely used language in Malaysia, apart from English. It is the mothertongue of the Malays, which make up over 60% of our population, but is also spoken by other races. Most Malaysians know at least a little bit of Malay, as it's compulsory to learn it in both primary and secondary schools. But most Chinese or Indians would generally speak their mothertongue at home, or English. I guess it's pretty rare to see Chinese kids talking Malay to each other. 

    It's also a shame that some Chinese-educated kids (at least those from my high school) shunned the national school kids, as we were seen as being 'too good to learn our own language'. Speaking English was seen as showing off. I REALLY didn't like those kids. Which is probably why I got bullied a lot in high school. Well, wtf am I supposed to speak then, Hindi? 

    And lately some idiots have been commenting as to why I'm listening to so much Indonesian rock.

    Uhm, like. Hello? It's coz their music is awesomes? o_o Why are you trying to make it sound like I'm not proud of my heritage? Why are you trying to make it look like I'm weird that I'm Chinese and I like speaking Malay? I listen to Mayan music, I listen to Gamelan, I listen to Australian Aborigine's didgeridoo. Does that make me Australian? Ah, such close-minded people. I don't like listening to Chinese music coz most of it is too mainstream/pop. And I don't like the style. Just like I don't listen to K-Pop. What is the big fucking deal? 

     

    Well here's an awesome Indon rock band just to rub it in your faces. 

    Cinta ini Membunuhku - D'Masiv

     

    Kau membuat ku berantakan (You make me fall apart)
    Kau membuat ku tak keruan (You confuse me)
    Kau membuat ku tak berdaya (You make me feel helpless)
    Kau menolakku acuhkan diriku(You push me away) 

    # :

    Bagaimana caranya untuk (How do I )
    Meruntuhkan kerasnya hatimu (Melt the ice around your heart )
    Ku sedari ku tak sempurna (I know I'm not perfect)
    Ku tak seperti yang kau inginkan (I'm not what you want me to be)

    Chorus 

    Kau hancurkan aku dengan sikapmu (You break me down with your attitude)
    Tak sedarkah kau telah menyakitiku (Not realising you've hurt me)
    Lelah hati ini meyakinkanmu (Tired of convincing you)
    Cinta ini membunuhku(This love is killing me)

    (#)

    (Chorus) 

     

    I translated to the best of my abilities. =__= 

    P.S: I love the lead singer, Rian. He looks like Ariel from Peter Pan. :D

  • 2 benda yang aku pantang.

    Ade 2 benda yg aku paling pantang. 

    1) Org yg menilai orang lain, macamlah diri dia baek sgt. Kalo nilai kat dalam hati tu takpe, ni tak. Nak kena tunjuk-tunjukkan. Eh, ko tak suka blah la. Takde org point a gun at ur head suruh ko ikut pon. 

    2) Org yg menyuruh aku buat benda. note: Menyuruh. bkn mintak tau. Nada mintak tu bukan camtu. Aku paling benci bile org (lebih-lebih lagi org yang aku kenal kat Internet!) suruh aku buat benda. Hay, ko bukan kawan rl aku pon. Kalo ye pun (highly unlikely, aku takde kawan camtu. Kalo ade, bkn lagi kawan) awal-awal aku dah suruh ko blah. yups, suruh, sebab ko yang bagi command kat hang dulu. Nyampah. 

    Apsal aku tgh panas semacam? Gini citernyer. 

    Ada sorang budak ni, aku kenal on9. Aku ingat orgnya ok, jadi aku pun add dielah kat fb. Dia ingat cam tu die license nak jadi kwn baek. Org suma tau aku suka mkn. Kalo time off keja, mkn jelah keja aku. Sape tak suke mkn benda sedap kan? Aku suke poskan gambar2 kat sane. die sukeee aje nak bagi komen ckp "ei, benda2 camtu leh buat ko gmk, patutlah muke ko skarang cam pizza, etc etc). Kalo 1,2 kali tu lehlah aku thn, ni tak. Stp kali aku pos, di sanelah munculnye komen. ckp benda cam aku ni tak tau nak jage. Eh kalo aku mati sbb sakit jantung pun, aku gedempong cam ikan paus pon, bkn tmpt ko ckp ape. Tak suke tgk benda2 camtu, rmv jelah aku. 

    Aku tau dia tiap pagi/ptg/siang/mlm mesti die gi buat snmn. cam obses lak. Hah, tengok. Dia wat camtu aku tak komen pon. Suke hati die la, kan?

    Apsal ko nak sgt cari pasal ngan aku? Lagipon otak die cam takleh proses yg aku mmg tak syok. dasar laki. 

    Lagi 1, tak habis-habis dia nk citer kat aku pasal pompuan yang dia tgh syokkan. Sekali-sekala tu takpela, aku leh layan. Ni tak. Tiap-tiap hari je (nama pompuan tu) inilah, itulah. Serik aku dgr, tau tak? Aku dahlah emo psal si Filipina seekor tu, aku kena plasterkan snym kat muke ni layan ko lagi? bknnyer ko nak bg tng, x abis-abis nk ckp sal ko tu sdr. Sowilah, aku takde patience camtu. dah tu, aku citer kat die aku ade kawan2 on9 sbb aku mmg sayang kat diorang, leh lak si bangang ni ckp aku takde kawan rl. eh, kwn aku tu byk dr ko. nilailah dr tuuuu. pompuan yg ko syokkan tu ko pon kenal on9 ye. cis. 

    Sorrylah, aku tak suke buddy camtu. 

    Aku sorry aku skarang macam drama mama. Bukannyer kehendak diri. Aku dah tengah stress giler, lagi ko tambah-tambahkan mslh aku lagi. fark.

  • Funny things people have told me on Stickam. 

    "Are you Asian?" 

    "Oh, so you're from Malasia." (I love how they always misspell it) 

    "Where is that?"

    "Wait, you're really 42?" 

    "So you're Malay?"

    "You're Chinese? But I thought you said you were from Malasia." 

    "You listen to Suicide Silence? I didn't know that Malasians knew that band." 

    "Do you have Oprah on TV?" 

    "So you're a Muslim?" 

     

     

    I love this place. :D
