come to think of it, i'm quite satisfied by my blog. it isn't 'complete' in a certain aspect but it does keep me company like a friend does (sad yes i know) what it serves is a medium of my expression for emotions, what i learn and some thoughtful reads. and it also keeps me on my toes for my english (albeit the constant prodding of malay and other languages whatnot), though i have so much to catch up on. i am very meticulous when it comes to english. i find it rather cartoonic on my part when i find spelling/grammatical error on certain sentences everywhere. so if you spot any of aforementioned errors in my blog, do prompt me. i can't stand it, especially when it passes by me without notice.
like this instance in school. my classmate and i were queuing up at this stall. and a girl and her friend, who just got their food, turned away and quipped to her friend "eh, you very 'curioustic' ah". i turned to my classmate and said, " dude, no such word as 'curioustic' sia." i could not help it. or it was just me in that occassion. i don't know why i cared. my classmate pondered about it, and eventually agreed that she just made up a brand new word.
with a few more perfectionist correctioning and "don't be"s, i might just turn out to be Monk Jr.
almost everyone is speaking of Raya. i speak of the food and money. in Raya when you go to people's houses, you eat the food they serve and take the Raya money they offer. that has seem to become the evident purpose in the system of the current days. the definite reason of the written culture may well be lost. the true purpose of visits is to forgive (maybe not forget, i don't know) your friends and relatives of the past incidents that may have been bitter. the offerings are probably meant as a way of appreciating one another's company on the occasion. in the latter days, the raya celebrations will be brought forward in our general months as due to the differences in the muslim calendar. so i'm thinking, if we ask for forgiveness now, we're gonna waste like the next two months of the year cause WE ALL KNOW we're gonna do something bad in the next few months, the almost inevitable fact. guess we're saving it for New Year.
cheer up, shahidah. time's aplenty. take the chances and hope you pick what's right. i'll try to always be around (:
