mind your language..

bahasa malaysia..an issue that people nowadays politicized.if u ask me,i would say,language is just language.its just a medium to communicate.no big deal.orang kata,pelihara bahasa malaysia..jgn rojakkan etc etc.thats true..but for me,in order to preserve bahasa malaysia is simply by learning that language..be able to speak well in Malay..so that takdela one day if people ask you the meaning of something in Malay,u fail to answer. tu mmg teruk gila la tu.you practise it or not in daily basis is totally up to the individual.bahasa rojak tu in my opinion takdela masalah sgt sbnrnye.i remember when i was in Kem KO-PLN(its a one-week motivational camp which those going abroad to study have to attend),the facilitator commented on my language. Bahasa rojak.Yea i did use a cocktail of English and Malay in one presentation,but i have a reason for doing that.I have a bit of problem using Bahasa Malaysia baku in presentation..bukan sengaja,bkn buat2..but it is just it.So i ended using bahasa rojak. But it was only a casual presentation, not Bahasa Malaysia presentation..so apa masalah nya..kalau presentation sastera BM guna english mmg nak kne la ngn Mak Temah aka Kak Tim(i miss pn fatimah,my BM teacher in SAMURA).

Berbalik pada topik bahasa rojak tadi,we cannot stop people from using bahasa rojak.its just how Malaysians communicate.bila cakap bahasa baku karang orang kata buang tebiat.as long as people undestand what we are trying to convey, it should never be an issue. buka Bahasa melayu je yg rojak..Japanese ke, Cantonese ke, rojak jgk...tak caye cube dgr themesong kartun2 jepun kat tv tu..dlm satu ayat tu mula2 japanese..last2 ada la pulak terselit english..cakap bahasa rojak tu lagi okay drpd cakap bahasa melayu, tp penuh ayat mencarut2,curse2.lagi teruk.

Bahasa SMS pun blh jadi isu.Dah kata nak SMS je,tulis pendek2 sudahla..takpayah la tulis panjang2 just for the sake of preservering BM(haha macam mak aku dlu,,skrg dah tak=P)

one more thing, isu lagu rojak..a song is one's way of expressing feelings.dah time tu dia rasa dia nak campur2 bahasa sukati dia la..tanak dgr sudah..dia bkn letak lagu dia tu dalam kategori lagu bahasa melayu pun..what language people want to utilize in a song ke, poem ke..its totally their rights.(dlu aku teringat radhi OAG mengamuk sbb dia kne condemn lagu dia rojakkan bahasa melayu..nah who cares.asalkan sedap)

PPSMI, the latest issue.i dont quite agree with the idea of teaching maths and science back in BM. I dont think the arguments supporting it were reasonable enough... I think children should be taught science and maths in english as early possible..so that later in their education life, there's no major problem faced by them..if they are to be taught in Malay, later mase nak masuk uni, the transition phase would be a little harder, and coping process will be a bit more tedious.tp biarla,dah tu keputusan kerajaan..but on the other hand,ok la sbb takde la student2 kat kampung or yg lemah in english tercicir,and worse, demotivated nak belajar.tapi tu la, that is just a short-term benefit.

btw,ckp pasal PPSMI, haritu masa Arwah Yasmin Ahmad meninggal dunia, i just knew that angin ahmar tu stroke!i thot asthma!tu pun my mama yang ckp(my Malay needs polishing as well!) so cancel PPSMI ni ade la jgk kebaikannya..so that nanti ble dah kat hospital nanti, takdela salah faham=P

malu dgn negara sendiri?

i dont like football.the last time i watched was fifa 2002(if im not mistaken la)n that was solely because of this one cute korean player i spotted.terus aku tgk smpai abes..the football match everyone's waitting for (Man U vs Malaysia) has ended,and the result wasnt much dissaponting either..mmgla Man U ramai peminat..i assume antara ramai2 yg datang tu mst pakai jersey Man U yg dorg worship sgt tu..kalau ada yg pakai jersey Malaysia mst kne boo kot? But u see..dont u guys have any sense of patriotisme smpai fanatic sgt nak sokong org luar?okay la,say u guys worship those ppl so much..and to just support them is still fine with me..tp jgnla smpai suka sangat nak mengutuk team negara sendiri..people were condemning Malaysian team even before they show what theyve got..and ive heard(or read) a number of comments like "ala,nak lawan Man U,xsedar diri ke..?", "agaknya brp dorg kalah eh?" "blh jalanla.." ..and that disgusts me..a lot.

mmg nature orang kita kot.suka sangat tgk bangsa sendiri jatuh.suka sgt kne jajah.dulu kne jajah negara,skrg ideologi n minda kne jajah.

Malaysia today..

i went out to Mid Valley today, at around 2pm.It has been a long time since i last took a train anywhere..if my boyfriend is out of town (he's stdying in outside of KL) i am partly immobilized because nobody's going to drive me anywhere..(except my mom,but dont wanna bother her too many times) n yeah, i have a P licence but too anxious to drive alone.anyway..KTM train is never improving.lagi lmbat adela..i waited for a very long time..and to sum up,after a long one hour only i managed to reach midvalley..where's d improvement u promised ??finally the train arrived,i saw a Caucasian woman wearing a mask scooted out ofthe train.I was actually kind of reluctant to take a train lately due to H1N1..tp redah je la..kalau nak dpt tu mana2 pun leh dpt..i sat on a seat next to the door.next to me is a Bangladeshi man(i guess so?)and a couple of his friends.I was actually being paranoid about the flu pandemic so i tried my best not to touch anything on the train..n i was actually breathing very shalowly(sbb tanak inhale in any germs la tu) haha.. like that helps~

until somehing caught my eyes..i saw a row of seats fully occupied by ppl.There were 10 ppl altogether.From a quick glance,i saw only 3 Malays out of taht number.another 3 were arabics, 3 chinese, and the others are Bangladeshi(note that i only use the word Bangladeshi to describe them,easier..however they may be Nepalese,Sri Lankan..who knows?).Then i took a quick look at my surronudings..i was swarmed by those people! Are we outnumbered by them?Why are there too many immigrants in our country?It may make Malaysia look a bit colorful, i agree..but i think its a bit too much.We see immigrants anywhere we go..And does not include those foreigners who marry the locals or work here..and trying to get PR here.Malaysia has becoming more and more like a charity country.More and more immigrants means less job opportunities to our local youngsters..xtaula salah siapa smpai dorg import too much of PATIs..maybe because its cheaper..or mmg anak muda Malaysia malas kerja..?malas nak comment,aku bukan tau sgt pun..pandai2la fikir..

showbiz in Malaysia

i dont really like Malaysian celebrities.They talk like angels but act like demons.And Malaysian celebrities are picking up this habit of socializing too much and dressing up like they are hollywood celebs.They go clubbing, partying, not to mention they are also not ashamed of being drunk.yeah of course hollywood celebrities are extremely good at that,but i care less bout them.they did nothing wrong.Cerai berai, mabuk2..i see no quality in Malaysian artistes.lagi2 la nak jd kn idol.sorry.

but yeah bukan semua yg mcmtu..i still like some..faizal tahir,aizat's songs are cool too..n i like ashraf muslim n oh yea,tomok the boy next door.very,polite i wud say..haha(new obsession)but not to the extent of making them my idol ..hehe

i dont really like the fact taht now, even little kids are encouraged and exposed to the showbiz..teens berebut2 nak masuk reality shows, with the excuse of making easy money. bila kuar,(mentor ke, mentee ke ape lagi ha?)tak kuar2 tv pun..popular kejap je..when those reality,money making shows are prospering,semakin kurang teens yg usaha keras nak ubah hidup..sume nak masuk singing contest, jadi artis etc etc.

but nvrmind..none of my bussiness anyway..

a talk by Tun Dr Mahathir

We had a dialogue session with Dr Mahathir early this morning in IMU. as expected, the hall was packed, the most of seats were occupied by the time i arrived. After a looong talk by the Directors of IMU finally its time for D Mahathir to talk. Dr Mahathir, i would say is a man with wisdom, and good sense of humour. He talked about many things, which i would write down 4 us to ponder upon.

1.Looking at the global economic crisis nowadays, it is likely that we are NOT able to achieve vision 2020 ON year 2020. But he thinks Malaysia has been developing so fast(as compared to the other Asian counterparts and regardless of the 4 mighty and long occupations by British, Japanese etc etc) that we are so close to become developed country one day. Malaysia used to concentrate so much on Agriculture, but now the Industrial, education, tourism also have been growing so well.

2.He highlighted that loyalty to the country is the utmost importance once we graduate as medical doctors. We grow up in Malaysia, educated in Malaysia, and were given privileges in education so much that we could study anywhere in the world sponsored by the Malaysian government. The government is investing a lot in the search of the 'doctors' that can serve the country. How can some students fly off to America or UK just because they offer higher salary. Some are even willing to pay back the government just to turn their backs from serving the country. Like Tun mentioned, they offer u high salary, but the living expenses are also high..apela sgt.. We have to have a sense of patriotisme, to finish medical degree in time, and serve the nation as we are expected to.

3.A person asked about his recipe of making Malaysia prosper. He replied, peace among the races that makes Malaysia prosper.

4.Dr Mahathir told us the story about how he first jumped into politics. He was concsious about politics in Tanah Melayu when he was only a school boy. However, he was just a young schoolboy, nobodys going to take him seriously.So he decided to go to medical school to be a doctor, with the hope that with that qualification , he would be able to be looked up, and to be heard. Then after a while he practised medicine, he became Malaysia's 4th PM, who then changed this country for good.

5.The next question sounds like this.."How do you think being in medical field helped u to become a good politician?"

he answered.."political problems are the same as medical cases.The way to approach them is not very diffrent either. Take history, do physical examination, do lab investigations, n prescribe solution to it. Way to approach medical cases is very methodical, and it should be the same when we approach any other problems we face.And thats how being a medical student is an advantage!=)

I dont quite understand some part of the talk when he started to calculate national profit.all i remembered hearing were 'million' and 'billion'.

Anyhow, he makes me think a lot today.n surely it was a good talk by him. I managed to snap a picture of him and Dr Siti Hasmah, however as there were a lot of ppl swarming him when i snaped the photo, the photo was not of a very good quality.so i decided to put a nicer picture of him here=)

there's always a start for everything~

i hated blogging,though i read other's at times, i still hate to start one of my own.however, the long holiday urges me to do something i do not usually like.like blogging.i bet once i start sem4 in August this poor blog of mine would be left alone.but lets just hope i wont turn out dat way.
