Speak how you want to speak

Image
From Tumblr I usually speak in English when I'm not bothered to think and when I do speak Malay, I jumble it up with english words and add the -ed and the -ing. It's not that I don't like speaking in Malay because believe me, only Allah knows how much I wish I could speak both English and Malay fluently. It's just that it's really hard for me to think of words when I am actually speaking in Malay. I'll get stuck sometimes and when I do, I'll start speaking in English. And sometimes I go blank and no malay words would come into my head when I'm nervous. So, whenever I am in one of these blank situations, all my questions and answers would instantly be in English. The other day, I was learning how to drive with my instructor and I came to a roundabout... before this, I never had to stop and every time I did, I was on the first gear so it was easy. At that time there was a car going in the roundabout so the first thing I did was I stepped on my br...

Truth

JFJ, too obvious huh? JJ? Still obvious? Back in Form 2, I think I've blogged about it in my previous blog, I had to do a folio about a person I look up to. At that point, I has a crush on someone, a racer to be exact. So I wanted him to be that person but then it'd be so obvious why I chose him... "Asma pilih dia sebab dia handsome," Faris said that. At that time he was only in Formula BMW Asia, he wasn't really that big. However, he really liked Ayrton Senna. Therefore I stayed up late translating an English biography to Malay just because I wanted to know why exactly does he like Ayrton Senna... stayed up late mainly because I did it last minute, though. And so, at first I decided to do Ayrton Senna plainly because JJ liked him but when I completed my folio, I seemed to have gained respect for this guy whose contribution was only known to the world after his death. But now, even though JJ apparently has a girlfriend (buckets of tears), I wish t...

Some Malaysians are lucky to have the chance to grow up overseas. Growing up overseas exposes us to so many different cultures and religions (especially if you're living in Cheetham Hill!). Back where I used to live, I had 3 best classmates. An English, an Indian and a Libyan. So I communicated daily with people of different races. Thinking back, there were never really any problem about racism in school except this one time when a dark skinned kid called a dark skinned teacher a ' nigger ' but that was it.  To say that there were many racism problems out of school would be a bit ... because at the place I used to live, it doesn't matter what race you are or who you are, if you pick a fight, shit will happen. The Pakistanis fought with the English, the English fought with the English, the Pakistanis fought with the Pakistanis, the mixed group fought with the mixed group. It's all the same. But what I see in Malaysia is this culture (I don't know...
