first cut is the deepest

greetings people~!

theres a 2 hour mandarin class later but my big fat banana arse refuse to go kick some hua yi's bud. hesitating. =S

its not easy you know.. i mean when it comes to learning a foreign language.
others label people like me a banana. not because we have long *ahems* or we have the word banana written all over our faces, but simply because we cant speak mandarin.
i believe the banana in me is half ripe because i can speak and i understand mandarin verbally. only when it comes to pinyin and those real complicated lines that will somehow form a character, then i just dont understand anymore.

mr leong, our mandarin lecturer once said,

dont worry, theres only 300+ syllables in mandarin which you have to master in 6 months.

what the heck.

fei was telling me that kids only start writing mandarin sentences in primary three, after 2 years of introduction to mandarin. whole 2 years weh!
their bananas have ample of time to grow and ripe weh! ours dont! =P

(dont let me catch you thinking about something else aiite?)

talking about bananas, when i was in UTP's clinic this morning, i saw something really interesting that is very much related to bananas. (it was at the counter mind you, and i couldnt help but notice the big stack of xeroxed paper.)



nah, dont get me wrong. i have nothing against it.
its just a traditional muslim thingee that they do i know. even non-muslims do it too nowadays. i respect.

but i just dont understand the 'khatan perempuan' part.
how come they are charging rm 10 to khatan the perempuan only but rm 100 to khatan the lelaki?
what, the boys one harder to disconnect?

i really have got no idea.

and the thing about misleading adverts;

Pemeriksaan kesihatan = percuma.
a) glucose = rm 5.00
b) kolestrol = rm 20.00

what in the world does it mean-la? =P

enough about bananas la.

i was reading T3 in irc when i saw this pretty/cute gadgets.
im not a big fan of nokia but heck, see this:



priced at rm 4000--, cheap only lar. bet the next nokias are going to be gold plated and dipped in melted sapphire sauce.
(saliva proof as well)
cool huh the design.
ancient i know, but quite pretty-ah.
in a few years time, dj tiesto might be scratch-ing live in those mobilephones when you receive messages.



and this cute lil thing:
the faster you type, the faster it runs.
oh boy, i so want to get one!

lol. too long a blog again. huhu. take care ya all aiite?
all the best.

in conclusion, im weird

olla people!

"Those who get tagged must post 6 weird things about themselves in their blog. At the end of the post, you must choose 6 other people to tag."

This is like suicide-weh. its like telling people that you've shitted in your pants for good during primary one.

and dont even try to think that i did. =P

okay.. so here goes. being tagged by another dear friend of mine, jean aka 'ling ling'. (its been a while since i called you that-wor)

1. i have visualizations when people ask directions from me. its like, ill put myself in a video, fast forward myself going to that particular place, and finally tell them the directions. bad thing is, sometimes i get really confused when it comes to same coloured landmarks. so when that happens, theyll be directed to jalan hilang instead.

2. i smile a very particular way when im jealous of someone or something. =P
stupid-hor? my horoscope states that i have real big issues with the jealousy thingee. =S
i think its pretty much true.

3. i didnt know how to use the squatting-toilet-thingee (whatever-la its called). not til a few years back. (i squatted the other way around.. so wrong.. so so wrong..)

eh... stop laughing already!

4. i have this very sensitive ears and eyes (no.. not ghost or anything).
i can actually see figure(s) behind me by just tilting my head a little to the left or right.
(oh by the way 'jangan pandang belakang' is in cinemas!)

im sooo looking behind-weh! =P

and the thing about me and my ears, i tend to take note of very uncommon sounds that people dont bother to notice. like for instance, glass breaking and needle dropping. ill try noting the needle dropping sound. gila-hor?

5. lor.. every part of me is weird-la in conclusion.

so that wraps up my tag.
ill tag anyone who wants to be tagged o. feel free. =)
