I think my BM is rusty. I need to write an official letter in BM, then suddenly having problem of translating these sentences (particularly in bold):

I hope you can consider my appeal

memohon extenuating circumstance

mengalami masalah kesihatan tanpa dijangka (w00t?).

What I did was: I used dictionary and I google for samples of appeal letter. Seriously, I need to get used to write official letters in BM as I am going to be a teacher next year Insya Allah.

Film review: Moui

It was a gloomy and rainy day. We went to see a newly released Korean horror movie at GSC. Moui, means ghost potrait. I’m not sure Moui is in what language, either Korean or Vietnam. Because they actors and actresses are Korean, while the ghost legend is in Vietnam.

The story is about Yoon-hee (Jo An), a novelist, who hears an interesting story from Seo-yeon (Cha Ye-ryun) who had immigrated to Vietnam. The story is about a cursed portrait. The story fascinates Yoon-hee, which she plans to write for her next novel. Then she heads for Vietnam where Muoi and Seo-yeon awaits her. Having arrived in Vietnam, Yoon-hee feels somewhat eerie seeing Seo-yeonhas some how change, and as this feeling intensifies, Yoon Hee become obsessed with collecting data on the secret of β€˜Muoi’. However as the secret behind the portrait reveals, the beautiful exotic nature of Vietnam turns into a place of nightmares and full of terror and error.

QDB.us: Books

Me: I’m so happy to buy this book. I thought it was hundred (Kinokuniya sold it to me for RM 63.80).

Him: Hmm. When it comes to reading material for computer, I prefer e-book. Books on computers are quickly outdated you see.

Me: Still, I cannot find any other book that suits the topic that I want to talk about. Although this book is published in 2004, no one writes on the same topic like he does.

Him: Ok fine but I still prefer electronic version.

Me: *haywire*

World book day

Today is World Book Day. I still remember that I used to collect loads of World Book Day postcard in MARJON, and sent some to Malaysia (It’s frolicking free!! πŸ˜€ I only need to pay 47 pence for the stamp!). One of my suggestion to my mak is Roald Dahl. But obviously, my mom does not read in English. But yeah, I still bug her to read good books. I hope the books that I presented to her has been read. *cross fingers*

This year, I’m celebrating World Book Day in Malaysia. I miss cheap good books in the UK. I wish Malaysia have Amazon.com (I know that Ujana Ilmu is almost similar but still, not a vast variety of books), carboot sale, book depository and friendly small local book store (they read before they sell).

Just now one of my friends [let’s name her adik] told me of her suggestion to do book fair in my college. She went to the library, asking the librarian to help her in the project. However, she was disappointed with the respond given.

“1- Cadangan adik tu bagus tapi adik boleh tengok berapa ramai je yang datang library ni pinjam buku. Akak boleh tunjuk muka mana yang selalu pinjam buku. Akak boleh hafal nama lagi.”

“2- Kakak library: [The librarian shows a French story book] Adik tahu harga ni berapa? Cuba adik teka?

Adik: Urm, tatau. Kalau kat Malaysia, belas-belas la kot?

Kakak library: Satu ni RM70. Daripada adik nak buat pesta buku, baik adik suruh budakΒ² ni disiplin. Buku banyak yang kehilangan muka surat. Kena conteng.”

“Adik susah la. Publisher takmau datang bila kita cakap bilangan student kat sini berapa.”

“[After Adik showed a dissappointed face] Akak tahu cadangan adik tu bagus, tapi hakikatnya memang payah”

Hwargh. I seriously could not imagine what would I feel if I were in Adik’s shoes. Never mind adik! I will support you 110%. I somehow feel embarrassed with Malaysian’s reading habit. I believe that “you are what you read”. Reading builds foundation for your thinking. I know the fact that reading Roadl Dahl’s books has made me become a person who think out of the box. I am not ordinary. I am not a commoner. I am odd and special. I thank Roadl Dahl for stimulating my brain to be a creative and imaginative thinker. I thank God for creating Roadl Dahl and gave him inspiration to inspire others.

In the end, adik decided to do “Used books sale”. Much practical and will not waste much money. No publisher will take high risk and everyone will be happy. AND, it saves trees too! I hope many people will participate and interested to sell and buy books.

Happy world book day!!

Kocoh-kocoh

“jarang benar blog Ainee diupdate sekarang ni”

Semenjak dari bulan lepas, tak banyak masa diluangkan untuk menenangkan fikiran (beriadah, membaca buku, bermain game, menggunakan aplikasi Y! Messenger). Sebenarnya, tiada masa berehat. Kalau penat sangat, tiada kudrat, tidur. Memang tiada peluang memanjakan diri. Movie pun tak habis tengok lagi.Β  Tergantung dari minggu lepas.

Bulan ini sahaja, tiapΒ² minggu perlu submit assignment. Immune badan mulai lemah. Asyik tak sihat. Berapa kali mau ke dokter. Otak ni pun dah penat. Penat berjaga, penat berfikir. Bukan sedikit jumlah perkataan yang perlu ditulis. Paling sedikit dua ribu. Refleksi lagi. Rujukan lagi. Aduh.

Inilah serba sedikit escapism dari dunia saya yang sibuk. Memang lain benar dengan budaya MARJON yang memberi assignment sebulan sekali. Examination pun adalah dalam dua tiga kali, itu pun dalam masa dua tahun. God help me!!

*sikit lagi nak gila*

CS

Di pagi hari, selepas tengah malam, sebelum Subuh. Sedang membuat assignment. Divert sekejap.

Curriculum Study | Candid Syndrome

Curriculum Study: ialah satu subjek untuk tahun ke empat B.Ed TESL. Assignmentnya susah giler. Kene hantar Rabu ni sebelum pukul 10 pagi.

Candid Sydrome: Wedding photographer team yang best. All the shots taken are beautiful. I prefer them than Kidchan. I checked them out (sepatutnya buat assignment!) sebab semalam had conversation with Mak.

Mak: Ala kawin cepat la.

Me: Mane buleh mak sekarang ni nak kawen awal kene prepare awal2. Photographer nak kene tempah setahun.

Mak: Ala, takyah la buat grand2.

Then memberitahu sang calon subuh hari ni seawal nam pagi (dia yg call ek, bukan i yg bug dia):

Me: Guess what. Saiful Nang is fully booked sampai 2009.

Him: Erk! (stunned sekejap selama 10 saat). You nak pakai Saiful Nang ke?

Me: Ehehehe. Not necessarily (ayat cover baek punya)

In the end kena pilih Curriculum Study jugak sebab tanak fail assignment.

CiS.

Hope and wish. There are so many wishes and hopes in this world. I know it’s not just me. Everyone aims for improvement for their life quality. Hopes motivate and drive us for the next day. Love heals the pain. Time decides. We move on. We live. To the fullest.
