eleh.... speaking konon!!!!

"alah dok lik lau.... nak speaking2 "------- was the most ordinary comments that i get from most ppl who barely or didn't know me at all..... i get this for the past 20 years or so from frens to peers...... With this, i would like to clarify to the whole world that please do not judge me by the way i speak..... In this post I'm gonna clarify why and how i became the snobbish English speaking Malay...... (the generalization that the masses have on me)

It started off as young as i could remember.... my first and fav tv show would sesame street and hahaue would by endless VHR volume of them for me and my sister (and there were lots of animation VHR to like Thumbelina, snow white and etc). Every night my sister will tell the tale of prince and princesses..... and elves....... i was thought to think and imagine in English even when i was a lil' kid... at the age of 3 my fav animal and word would be a hippopotamus.

it was around the age of 5+, me and Ash were thrown into an awkward situation.... are chilhood fren was 3 Italian American girls that live right behind my house..... i do ask hahaue from time to time how did we as a children ever manage this kind of situation..... well nobody know the answer... after 1 month of befriending them... me and Ash would be able to hold a conversation in English with an American slang (i guess it was their influence) .....

time passes by and i was in my adolescence years and i took up the love for reading..... and the books were all in English..... (my aunt would by em' for us) and thus starts my pattern of speaking as to how it is written in the pages of the books... most of my family members and close frens can detect this in my style of writing and my conversation will be highly influenced by the nature and the style of a certain writer that i took fancy upon at the moment :)

and things doesn't help during my uni years to as i enrol myself to IIUM/UIA.... an English medium university.... so i was somehow brainwashed to think and express myself in English :) all of my reading material are in English.....

And with that my fellow merry ppl is how is was brought up and trained..... hahaue was a very strict English teacher so where my elder sisters.... and if u were to compare my English to their i would say that I'm still at an amateur level......

Kobato

just finished the last ep of kobato on anime crazy....... kobato suuuuuuuugoi wayo....... i think its creator is the same as the chronicle of tsubasa coz they will be the guest character in the anime for ep 20 or 21........ and its manga is still on going... u can read it on manga fox.... as to how the story goes i manage to find a summary in wikipedia...

Kobato is a sweet and perky girl, but also extremely naive about the world around her. She has a "mission" to fill her mysterious bottle with people's hearts she heals so her wish to go a certain place can be granted. However, the restriction is that she is not allowed to fall in love with any person whose heart she heals.

As Kobato attempts to fulfill her mission, she is accompanied by Ioryogi, a spirit in the form of a dog plushie. Because Ioryogi is responsible for a punishment that has been applied to him and is friends from the spiritual world, he must guide Kobato and ensure that she succeeds her mission so he and his friends might return to their true form.

lazy BUM me....

i really wish that i could write the review on SS2 that i attend on the 20th march 2010... but i'm totally lazy i have about 400 pics to edit and to choose from..... so i'm gonna wait a bit and get my facts straight before i post em' :)

scary miss Alice (-_-)

my first introduction to the world of miss Alice was when i was 5..... me and Ash (my sister) somehow had a queer feeling about it and as a child those emotion were hard to describe and even more difficult to express... but that was the first and the last time we ever watched the Miss Alice in the Disney cartoon.... how i expressed my mix feeling for the cartoon is by throwing the VHS tape out of the window (yes those days there were no such thing as DVD's or even VCD's) which resulted to a good spanking by Hahaue....

nearly 20 year's later after watching miss Alice.... we were shocked by the presence of miss Alice on the big screen.. moreover my most hated character of all time (the damn mad hatter that haunts my dream as a child) will be portrayed by my lifetime crush johnny depp..... whatever shall i to do???? should i revisited my childhood nightmare??? (knowing Tim Burton's..... i think i will continue to have nightmare of seeing miss Alice again) so i decided to have a lil' chat with Ash and i realize that her sentiment towards miss Alice was the same as mine.... so what did i do???? i decided to finally read the book.........

the verdict is.... its hard for me not to love a book..... reading it reminds me of reading "a book of nonsense" it was funny but in a very dark way...... i prefer the 2nd installment through the looking glass.....

finally :) still gives me the creeps (should have look at the picture in it )

I somehow still haven't muster up my courage to go and pay miss Alice a visit and so does Ash... so will see how it goes :)

next stop iraq

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men, (and women)

Uncle Sam needs your help again.

He's got himself in a terrible jam

Way down yonder in Iraq (no’t as nice as Vietnam, but what the hell)

So put down your books and pick up a gun,

We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

And it's one, two, three,

What are we fighting for ?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,

Next stop is Falujah;

And it's five, six, seven,

Open up the pearly gates,

Well there ain't no time to wonder why,

Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on generals, let's move fast;

Your big chance has come at last.

Gotta go out and get those muslim militants —

The only good muslim is the one who's dead

And you know that peace can only be won

When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.

And it's one, two, three,

What are we fighting for ?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,

Next stop is Baghdad;

And it's five, six, seven,

Open up the pearly gates,

Well there ain't no time to wonder why

Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Huh!

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow,

Why man, this is war au-go-go.

There's plenty good money to be made

By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,

Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,

They drop it on the Afghans.

And it's one, two, three,

What are we fighting for ?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,

Next stop is Abadan. (I know that is in Iran, but we Americans can’t tell border lines)

And it's five, six, seven,

Open up the pearly gates,

Well there ain't no time to wonder why

Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on mothers throughout the land,

Pack your boys and girls off to Iraq.

Come on fathers, don't hesitate,

Send 'em off before it's too late.

Be the first one on your block

To have your kid come home in a body bag.

And it's one, two, three

What are we fighting for ?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,

Next stop is Iraq.

And it's five, six, seven,

Open up the pearly gates,

Well there ain't no time to wonder why,

Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

So if you got kids between the ages of 17 and 21, the USMC and US Army needs them. ;-)

But, I have to admit, now that Bush has drawn our asses into Iraq, and we are there, GOD DAMNIT don’t fuck it up, or my sons will have to fight there in 15 years…..
