Spelling errors





Many times we notice that The Star newspaper highlights the wrong spelling happening everywhere not only in Malaysia but also abroad. Sometimes , I wanted to highlight the wrong spelling 'phenomenon' on my blog but these wrong spelling and grammar errors are not very obvious to us .

Today I want to share with you a few spelling errors which are happening in a world renowned hotel group's online portal . Oops , my writing is alike the primary school students . Come back to the topic, em... when i was at my stay in the Concorde Inn KLIA , Sepang ,I found out that one peculiar incident which has happened . The online portal which links us to the internet has spelling errors on the login page . This has sure has an impact on the image on Malaysian English . I still remember one of the members of the parliament said that our main tourist attraction is our Malaysian english standard . And most of the members of the parliament laughed at the person.

The word 'repite' doesn't exist in my dictionary and I does ring me about the word 'repeat'

.Plus, the word 'comfrotable' should be comfortable.

I don't understand why they didn't check the spelling errors before publishing it for public viewing .

Jln Alor


I have heard of the road name Jalan Alor for the past few weeks . The initial change of road name has caused many objections from the people including tourists who used to remember the road name as Jalan Alor.

But today , while I was in a public bus from Pudu , I was asked the direction of Jalan Alor and from that moment I was shocked by my shortcoming of not knowing where is Jalan Alor . But later I found out that it is a street next to Jln Bukit Bintang.I think that was the food haven which i found accidentally while I was walking along Bukit Bintang.

Sabah!




Since I left Sabah , I have never written an entry in this blog. So , this is my first time in this year I revive my blog again. I will write again if and only if I return to Sabah once more.

I have summarized what my friends said to me when they first saw me :

Why you become so thin?
Maybe because my eating habits was too stringent .
I thought before about my weight issue but i will do something to improve my situation.

You look different with your hair?
My hair? I guess they have never seen me in short hair , last time when i was in Sabah I used to keep my hair in a medium length . I am now already comfortable with my short hair.

Your arms become bigger ?
Thanks to the gym which I go . The facilities provided were as what i have always wanted . When I studied in Sabah, gym was out of reach.

I think that was the comments they gave . Actually now when I am writing my body is very itchy ,I only know how to alleviate the itchiness by applying a type of balm which is made in Thailand. But soon after warmness of the balm diminishes , the itchiness starts again. There are 2 possibilities : the liquor , sunburn.

Speaking about banana liquor, the night before i left Sabah,my close friends were together with me . They suggested to play the card games , the loser will have to drink the liquor. At first was the grapes wine which has 10% alcohol, after finishing the bottle . Next was the bananarama liquor , which has 25% alcohol. I declined but they forced me to drink . I lost mostly in the card games and i had to drink . The wine made a bit dizzy and I felt the earth was moving and very sleppy . After that , with the addition of the Bananarama ,I couldn't help myself but become uncontrollable . The after taste of Bananarama was good but front taste of the liquor was too bitter . I even vomited after the last drink of punishment . (I can say that my situation was nearly like binge drinking )And I slept at early morning around 4 am after a series of unexpected event -'pulling trousers' . I was nearly pulled because I didn't help them to victimized my ex-roomate . They even recorded the whole session on camera including the reveal of the sensitive body parts .

As the sunburn , I was sunburned by the harsh hot weather , if it rained we won't enjoy our trip ,the sunny day brought us a lot of joy and laughter . With my shoulder exposed to the sun directly , the help of the sunscreen lotion with SPF 30 won't prevent my skin from burning. From Sapi Island to Manukan Island , I applied 3 times also won't work. We were transited to another island at around 2 p.m. , the weather was scorching hot but we still go into the sea .

I like Sapi Island very much because of its unsurpassed beauty in the ocean with minimum destroy on the reefs . The fishes were lively and we managed to spot some predators and preys activities . There are artificial corals for the marine life to flourish , I got my knee cut by the coarseness of the artificial coral maybe I stayed at the spot for sometime to look into the artificial coral.

In comparison, I also like Manukan Island but not to the extent like Sapi. The first impression on Manukan was great . As we alighted from the boat at the dock , lots of fishes near the surface of the water including the mini swordfish ,colorful parrot fish . As soon as we entered the sea , most of the corals were destroyed and very few fishes . The sea urchins were abundant in sight which made us returned to the sea . Before we concluded our trip , we went to the far end of the beach in search for better marine animals . As we swim towards the sea , nothing much but dead corals were everywhere . Suddenly , a school of fishes present , my friend fed the bigger-than-usual fishes with non tasty Gardenia bread made in Sabah . I abruptly became afraid of my safety . The distance was very near between the fishes and I ,although it was nice to be surrounded by the fishes . The fishes were wild , I was afraid I will be bitten .

Sex & The City ,The Movie


Today was quite a mixed day but with a little special touch. The day started with an early opening which means that I was awakened by an abrupt alarm at 5 am. But after I broke my fast with a few pieces of soda biscuits and a glass of light chocolate drink, with a doubtful mind I entered my father's car to be sent to the airport. All because of the fuss I have created and the doubts came into my mind. Not only that , (I think that I would like to start my entry with something specific and not anything random )

I was inspired by a specific movie to be flexible in life which I watched the screening of Sex And The City ,The Movie.It was on movie-on-demand section on the flight. I noticed that a fickle minded man with no courage in committing what is best in life will lead to the disappointment of other partner. With the called off of the wedding in the movie by a phone call , the man whom is a bridegroom was not ready to commit under a legal paper of marriage . But the reassurance of the bride is not enough to make a change in his mind. Nothing is more hurting by the let-off of the bride with the others guy, the most important thing is that in other people's eye such embarrassment should not be tolerate.

But in the end of the movie ,Jessica Parker was saved by the email she opened which was sent by his boyfriend. He wrote the quotes from the famous writer of all times. Finally, they forgave and lead them to another level of relationship which is marriage.

受人氣

這就是一個殘酷的事实。无论你为别人做任合事情, 你也会有被折怪的一天。
有时想过,虽然是有错,但在某情况下因为了钱会把它复杂化。
有些行为会让人反感,但对于其它人来说可没当着一回事。
一个人 要在对方的亲口的认真下才接受对的讯息。
小孩的呐喊声,都市的吵杂声 都会让人无可耐和。
一时的幼稚,一时的无知,一时的疏忽,
都会导致某人痛恨一生。

Another

In these recent years , friends have helped me but some friends are not as helpful as i have expected . I was catched out of sudden being 'scolded' by an enemy -to-be friend. But then , back to basic he is such an errogant , big talker , loud talker as in volume etc. I can't see anything in him that worth my apology (he doesn't worth a cent for me) ,i would felt sorry for him if I am his family members .

Recently from the previous eggs throwing event which happened at the begining of the year involved this enemy-to-be friend,I learnt my lesson well and I forgot to apply the lesson after that .That was my major disappointment ,even though I forgave him earlier but the sword sharp words are like the daggers in the sky storming towards me . Out of sudden , he will raised his voice and started talking something nasty in front of me. As I was (not am) able to talk to him about some particular things in common . But not anymore , his poison ivy like 'speech' have a place in everybody's ears except me .

I was kind enough to involve him in this recent Men's Health Run 08 at Lake Garden ,KL. By taking the T-shirt for him, even though he betrayed us . He told us that he will be joining us to get the T-Shirt . At the very last minute , he used a very lame excuse that he need to accompany his girlfriend to buy shoes . He originally told us that he was joining us but suddenly he quited . How he treated his friends ?!?! Not only that , with my own pairs of ears around , enemy-to-be friend told T that he agreed with his girlfriend first before agreed with us. But the truth is the other way round. He is such an insincere and manipulative person.

Well enough of that small betrayal, on last sunday which was the Men's Health Run I told him to meet at 6 a.m. and i will pass the T-shirt for him . But around 6.10 am I still couldn't see him and phone was not answered . There are two possibility , first,he is not going , second, he can't wake up . As a courtesy , I made myself up to his floor and placed the bag which consisted of T-Shirt, runner's number, redeemable coupons on top of a box between wooden door and metal door. I was not sure at the moment he was coming or not because he was not answering the phone.

But around 6.20am he finally called back and i informed him about the bag which i left on top of a box between metal door and the wooden door .He need to walk back his house again . For this I need to clarify that I have took my effort by sending the bag to him and helped him in collecting his bag from the redemption counter in KL .

As a result , we left him behind and took the 6.30am bus from my place to Lake Garden in KL. Luckily , we left him because if we still wait for him then we won't be able to start the run on time . As we arrived , the event was about to start.

On the following day , as i entered his car .He raised his voice by pinalizing me on the matter of not sms-ing him that the bag is on top of the box.He said the bag I placed on top of the box he can't see it , instead he told me to put it on the floor .In my opinion, I put the bag on top of the box is to make the identification easier as it was almost at eye level. By right , I have made my favour to him by collecting and sending the bag and he should call me to confirm the situation as the plan might changed because of his late arrival (it may sound a bit harsh but his phone left unanswered after we called) . I can't take the bag with me as i promised earlier because the bag was a burden to me as i have to carry the bag when i runned. I will carry the bag if he meet me on 6am at our guard house and my job was done.

His ungratefulness and mistreat have made my confidence and trust in him 'diminished'. Even he have thanked me earlier for taking the bag which consisted of T-Shirt, runner's number, redeemable coupons but his verbal action has failed himself badly by protraying himself as a Mr. Nice guy.

Food Indulgence Yummy!

It has been ages that i could remember of eating shark fin soup .I am one of the fans of shark fin soup , albeit it is one of the 'forbidden cuisine' ,yet this is part of our culture of eating it.

When I was small after each wedding dinner was held , my aunty will surely bring me some of the excess (not left-over) shark fin soup for me. Soon, I crave for the food. Everytime ,i go back Taiping i will remind my aunty to bring me some. But sometimes ,i will leave Taiping without the shark fin soup .The reason being ,i was in a hurry or there is no wedding dinner there.

The exception had happened yesterday,my aunty brought me shark fin soup in the tiffin carrier to my grandmother's house.She specially cooked for me, i was touched by her action. After i accompanied my mother to the market for some light food which is Jawa Mee .

Finally , I reached home with a surprise waiting for me . I ate 2 bowls of shark fin soup but amazingly inside the soup there were lots of real crab meat .Finally i finished it . On the second bowl , i couldn't finish the meat because it was a lot .

Pss.. Actually i hav mercy on crab but with the soup ,sorry.....
