dah... aku rs da ckp byk kot aku menyelitkan kata2 manis dlm BM nih... ayt aku da mula kelihatan pelik... tak tau la kot aku je yg rs pelik... org lain x... mcm makin x cool je BM aku... haha...
anyway, thanks to "tuan nyer kasut" (which up until now, i dont know who u r...) because suddenly he brought up the language issue in my blog. Okay... maybe there's lot of you wondering, I am malay, born Malaysian, proud as Malaysian, live in Malaysia, why the heck am I writing in english??? why not malay??? Am I "kacang lupakan kulit"? or maybe I can't speak malay??? what??? as a Malaysian that is Malay can't speak malay??? man... that's what we call "koya belanar"... here's the list of the reason
- I was thinking this at first when I started my blog since the era of Friendster Blog... should I write in malay or english??? but after all, I choose english... this is because, among malaysian's malay, most of us use BM as the medium... so, where the heck do i want to learn english after school??? here it is...
- It's not like what "tuan nyer kasut" said, "tau la intern kat INTEL"... it's not the reason why I wrote in english... if that's the case, damn... I am "kacang lupakan kulit"... I've wrote my blog in english since like 2 years ago when I am not even an intern, just a mere students who strive to excel... even if I am an intern in somewhere else, with a Malaysian company which uses BM as their main business language, I will still write in english...
- Well, for most of us who haven't get much exposure in english... always thinking and wondering "why my english is so bad... how do i learn english... Linguaphone? damn, i'm not that rich... I've tried Linguaphone, it's no good... i've tried this and that, still my english is bad"... then, somehow i got the opportunity and have been quite good in english, why dont I share something that others dont have?? I can improve myself too...
- I tried to stick with one language for my blog. Since I already choose english, I try not too put in other languages like malay or mandarin or japanese or even bangla... i dont know, it doesnt seem nice to have a few different words jumble up together in one sentences... "I want to makan fried nasik" doesn't seems nice isnt it???
- And why there hasn't been even an entry of mandarin, bangla, urdu, cantonese, japanese, korean, and other languages... is because of one fact... I dont know much about those languages... maybe I did take japanese for beginners course, but how much do u expect from level 1 course???
- Another fact is, I've been exposed to english as much as malay that I started to think modern malay is funny and doesn't have enough words to explain things... when illumination can't be explain in malay that they started to fetch english words and turn it to malay words iluminasi, it makes our beloved Bahasa Malaysia becomes much like Bahasa Indonesia... do we want to see that? why can't we just use Cahaya Music for AJL '08??? it's just the same thing... and please, don't start on how english is taking french words, arab's words, spanish words to fit in their language... i know those....
so, i guess "tuan nyer kasut"'s questions have been answered... and why the heck haven't this girl (i mean the engineer, not some hot chicks that i have my eyes on her) reply my email??? too busy huh????

Points taken. Did you still remember when Teacher Zaemah told us to write a diary? I obey her for three months and the result is amazing. Yes, my grammar and vocabulary did improve a bit after that, but the most important thing is, I start to think in English.
Nowadays, I have not use English that much. Even my blog is in Bahasa Melayu. Because all of my references are in Arabic and I have to do something to polish my writing skills in Bahasa Melayu.
I think one day I'll start to write in English in my blog. So that I can reach more people.
I want to do my diary in Arabic. But I can't express my feeling due to lack of vocabulary. Can you imagine someone who needs to refer to dictionary every time he writes a diary?
P.s.: I think you should use 'Recent Comments' widget on your blog. You can grab the link from my blog. By the way, I am Spiderman (rujuk entry lepas).
i really do not get these kind of people tau. apa masalah pun xtau. baru practice english dalam blog pun dah nak gelabah. ape kalau ckp english dah kira kacang lupa kulit ke?
english tu kan just like any other language. it needs practice. writing in any desired language will bring significant result to the language sebab yelah, kita guna kan.
macamane nak improve, nak maju kalo tgk org lain lebih sikit dah mula nak mengutuk? heesyh
every blog owner have their own rights to write in any language they prefer and every reader have the rights to give comments, either in rude or polite way...
rude??? i'll just delete them and ignore them...
lgpun diorang xde plk ckp saye nih kacang lupakan kulit kan... just saying that it might be good for me to put some entry in BM... so, i'll just put some, and there they go...
moreover, this is one rights that I will not intervene in any way... every reader can leave and stop reading if they dont like what i wrote and i'll just keep on writing because the main objective of this blog is not for public readings... but only for me to have some fun...
i'll accept any comments and i'll always consider to materialize those suggestions if it doesn't go against the policy of the blog which has been setted up by me...
