Bahasa Melayu - ignorance?

Under the Sun 5 Comments

Sometime, whenever I read bahasa in anywhere I got pissed off. Why? I don’t know whether who the author is. I don’t care. I don’t fucking care. Yeah.

If and only if bahasa melayu is our national language, then why the heck that such simple “tatabahasa” aka grammar that they couldn’t comply with.

For example, I often read kata depan, di as following:-

dimana ada kemaluan, disitu jugak ada yang lari lintang pukang

disini.

I’ve checked through the Dewan Bahasa Dan Pustaka website and found the file with excerpt as follow

Kata Depan, di, ke, dan dari
Kata depan di, ke, dan dari ditulis terpisah daripada kata yang mengikutinya
kecuali dalam gabungan kata yang sudah lazim dianggap sebagai satu kata
seperti kepada dan daripada. (Lihat juga Bab III, Fasal D, Ayat 3).

Get it?

I personally think that most teachers are ignorance. Or lack of standardization in education. Plenty of maktab but where’s the standard. That’s why when last time, I used to ask that why when it comes to marking our language subject, Bahasa Melayu for example were sent to other states. In fact, I sometimes think that the composition or “karangan” itself has different result when marked by different teachers. There’s no marking scheme for composition as it’s based on the individual creativity and mastery of the language itself.

Furthermore, I do check my nephews and nieces homework. Especially when it comes to Bahasa Melayu. Not that I’m THAT good but I believe I have the solid foundation of Bahasa compared to the rest of family members. The only thing I noticed is that the subject Bahasa is taught in poor content. Moreover, the teachers doesn’t have the quality as those in Sekolah Kebangsaan. It’s pretty bad sight. In fact, I’m begin to worry how my nieces and nephews going to fit in well in secondary as the competition are getting tougher. As the book, “The World Is Flat” says, we are no longer compete locally but globally.

Now the question is, how we positioning the Bahasa Melayu or Bahasa Malaysia? What say you?

Looks can be really deceiving

Just like buaya69 says, looks can be deceiving. I couldn’t agree more. In fact, I was totally taken aback during one of the yumcha or drink tea session with my previous colleagues.

My colleague (let’s call her LS) from previous work place rings me up and taunted that I haven’t find them for a drink quite sometime. Especially after that she returned to work in KL again after being peacefully reside in her hometown for a couple of months. Guess the pay and the lifestyles brings her back to KL. Anyway, we meet up along with some other colleagues (C and G) in Wangsa Maju and had dinner there. That’s when I saw the lovely peninsula girl again. The first time I saw her there was when I having dinner with my mom earlier this month.

Our conversation was kinda random and topic after topic were talk cock or bullshitting when one of them hit the chord. She (G) commented that she couldn’t believe that ladies nowadays smoke. Still conservative thinking I would say. Anyway, the other (C) commented that she saw who and who smoke when they went to clubbing after the company’s new year bash dinner. C added that nowadays these girls have the audacity to do those things that last time she doesn’t dare to do. Boy, I was enjoying the company of 3 ladies and 3 of them are really conservative, as they said they are.

However, G added that she knew one of the former colleague, MY who is very sporting and have the audacity to go the beyond. Curious, I asked further. G told me that there’s one time MY asked her whether she wanted to look at a cute guy. She was chatting with the cute guy on msn. MY proceed to show G the photo. G commented that girl like you (MY) will find him cute and good looking.

Then MY told G that they been playing around together. Playing around??!!! MY said that a bunch of them went out together and the drinking session was on. Several of them. Girls and boys. MY was one of them. After gotten toxicated with alcohol, they played a strip game that ended up all in their undies. G told me that these words came out from MY mouth. In fact, MY did kept the photos taken with all the boys and girls in their undies. Further than that, G didn’t told me. In fact, I think MY didn’t detail out the entire night what happened.

As the matter of fact, none of us were into believing that MY was really that kinky after all, she had the face of cute, innocent and decent girl. Somehow, the story died there and before we end the session, I discreetly asked G to provide me MY handphone number.

Hehehe…

Stupid 6.32b

Under the Sun No Comments

Was getting bored last night that decided to go out for a game or two with Sotong. In fact, the moment we were there no one else was playing. We did have a match, LAN games there. However, the frustration were getting on us. Those bunch of noobs.
So, Sotong initiated that both of us having 1-on-1 in the new version which is 6.32b. Therefore, playing -ap (all pick) I chosen the Naix, LifeStealer while Sotong got himself a Phantom Lancer. Getting the wrong item build and was technically losing to Sotong.
Later, we had a second match and this time, I’ve chosen Death Prophet while he got himself a Bucther. Probably thinking that he can really own me. Nonetheless, I manage to keep him 2 level difference. Smart enough, I get myself a damage item liker Yasha&Sanga. This way, besides using wave I could still hurt him badly. The result, I won.
Hence, it was a tie and leads to a final match.

I picked up BloodSeeker while Sotong wanted to pawn me by choosing Zeus. Yes, indeed he managed to pawn me early but as I manage to farm and denied creep I grow stronger. Ended up with Yasha&Sanga, BKB again I manage to turn the match on my side. With a 4 kill and 4 death, he suggested a showdown since he need to be in somewhere else.
Agreed on it, we meet at the stream, in the middle of map. As he wasn’t able to hurm me more than he think he could (because there was changes in Zeus stasis charge), I casted a rupture on him and he quickly teleport back to base.
Little that we know, his character died upon reaching base. -_-”
It was a good laugh after all.

India and China

Under the Sun No Comments

Having a lunch with a friend reminds me of how the globalization took place. Indeed that China is not a strange country or player in the market. In fact, China is one big exporter. Be it anything from small balun to high end gadgets like cars and air conditioning. Things that we often use. Appliances. Stuff like that.

This friend of mine who is towards solutions like Oracle, shared with me that their competitors are from India. India is a huge player in manpower. Human skillsets. Skillful workforce. Oh boy and shit, imagine that we are sandwiched between these two countries. Good part is that being Malaysia, we can speak both language.

Pundek!!! and Diao!!!

Leaver

Under the Sun No Comments

Anyone who played dotA certainly agree that leaver is one of the annoying thing happened in the game. Why? Because the game usually lasted between 20 minutes to hours depending on the gameplay itself.

When ones spending such and such amount of time and effort, the opposition left the game. Hence, we called them as leavers. This leave the game unchallenging as there will be unsufficient players to go against with. There are certain time that ones disconnected from the game itself. Probably due to errors, connection lost and much more - which lies in the technical issue.

These leavers basically happened when:-
1. Their team is losing
2. Un-cooperative teammates
3. Idiot/noob players
4. Fear of losing
5. Keep on dying and feeding opposition

On the other hand, if you are losing the game and wanted to save some face on this issue. Best if you are using heroes like The Broodmother and Dragon Knight. So far, I knew these two heroes can contribute to fatal error (in version 5.84c) that is.

The Broodmother
if you kill your underlings, then there will be generating fatal error.
(probably due to the bad karma for killing own breed)

The Dragon Knight
You need to be in dragon mode (level 3), and breaking the gem
(probably due to the fact that dragon shouldn’t break a true sight gem - which leads him to see himself?? )
Anyway, have fun and don’t leave the game. Where’s the sportmanship? I would reckon that ones get a BKB and whack own teammates for fun.

Definitely Not A Noob

Under the Sun 1 Comment

Damn sotong for calling me noob. Basket of him. Yeah right… like you were that good. The whole entire night having a BKB (Black King Bar) and nothing else. I thought Venomancer should have a Blink Dagger and some damage item for example. Nope. he doesn’t have. So, who is the noob around here??? Anyway, we can’t judge a person from a particular game itself.

However, I felt that I need to share about this game we had last night. It’s a match that lasted about 74 minutes and ended up with Sentinel winning the game. On the Sentinel side, we have Tidehunter (me), Venomancer (sotong aka Kelvin), Nerubian Assassin, Death Prophet and Oblivion. For Scrouge, they have Faceless Void, Lion, Keeper of The Light, Sven and Bone. By the look of the team heroes, definitely the Scourge will win even at the late game.

Basically with 40+ and 38+ kills on the Sentinel and Scrouge side respectively, most of the killing in Scrouge team are done by Bone at the late game. He manage to get a deso and start killing. None of our teammates were bothered to hinder him from farming in early of the game. Sven doesn’t have a shoe and ended up getting gangbang. Lion and Faceless Void are basically feeders. They can’t even pull a kill with 2 on 1.

We (Sentinel) manage to pull it off by keep pushing the barracks. It was quite a good laugh that we manage to kill a GODLIKE Bone at the end of the day. He owned a BKB, Heart, Burize, Deso and Hyperstone. Yet, he got killed because of his recklessness.

With that ending, I have a sweet dream. Tenkiu noobies.

Take Your Time

Recently, most of my contacts in MSN Messenger are under Busy status. Oh well. I don’t know what keeping them so busy but somehow reminds me to go through a short story from Steven Covey titled “Busy”

Busy
by: Stephen Covey, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter ask for a job in a timber merchant, and he got it. The paid was really good and so were the work conditions. For that reason, the woodcutter was determined to do his best. His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was supposed to work.

The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 trees

“Congratulations,” the boss said. “Go on that way!”

Very motivated for the boss’ words, the woodcutter try harder the next day, but he only could bring 15 trees. The third day he try even harder, but he only could bring 10 trees.Day after day he was bringing less and less trees.

“I must be losing my strength”, the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on.

“When was the last time you sharpened your axe?” the boss asked.

“Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut trees…”

We need to take time off and look back. Ponder. Evaluate. Think. Procastinate. No matter what keeping you so busy, always have some time out for yourself. Even it’s busy pretending busy.

MyTeam vs Malaysia

Under the Sun No Comments

Always wanted My Team to win this match. Why? just to prove that Malaysia team are no professional after all. By putting U-20 for the match is simply because wanted to save face if Malaysia team losing afterall. Just my opinion.
