I wonder which term is used officially in Malaysia? Hari Raya Aidilfitri or Hari Raya Puasa?
When I studied in school, I normally used ‘Puasa’ because I found it hard to spell ‘Aidilfitri’. I am still uncertain about the spelling of Aidilfitri these days, have to check dictionary when typing it.. yada, shame on me.
Regardless, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Selamat Hari Raya Puasa, Selamat Hari Raya!
There was a girl I liked when I was much younger, I did everything stupid to get her attention, but missed the most crucial part for being too coward to ask her out.
Life goes on, haven’t seen her for years.. I feel a bit weird thinking back, feeling a bit stupid, a bit embarassment, a bit of regrets and perhaps a bit of everything.
There’s a proverb that says that.. people will rarely regret on things they did, but regret on what they didn’t. So true.
I wonder what will happen if I did ask her out, but guess I’ll never know.
My sister in law gave birth to a healthy baby boy just a day before Malaysia celebrate our 49th Merdeka independence day.
The welcoming of a new life in our big family has left me pondering lots of things.. to be a better man, to be a great uncle that my nephews and niece can take as a role model.
When I was in kindergarten, my teacher told the class that candies (or sweets) were made of blood.. and being as naive as I was, I believed in her and stopped taking candies for years.
Most Malaysian will know about our darkest history after independence on May 13, 1969.. the racial violence that claim hundred(s) of casualties.
Fact is however, how many of the younger generations know what exactly happened on that day? What triggered the violence? What happen to the victims? What happened to the villains?
July 11, I’m going to write something about 7-eleven, the worldwide 24 hours convenience store franchise, famous for their Slurpee and.. Slurpee.
When I was a kid I had some fantasies for 7-11, slurping a Slurpee is kinda feeling like heaven.. I guess their TV commercials must be working pretty well back then.
After the exposed video of Sarawak high school girls bullies, Malaysians are suddenly concerned of schools’ safety, and politicians started to appear in newspapers saying this and that as if it’s something suprisingly new about school bullies.
Fact is school violence has been happening for years, and ‘lucky’ me, studying for 12 years in a all-boys environment allowed me to witness some of the strangest bullying. And school violence didn’t need to relate to hardcore gangsterism as some media suggest, it could be just part of the growing up process if you ask me.
Was reading a story from Adam [link] about his studies in forestry but working in a career totally unrelated to his studies now.
At least Adam did worked in his field for 7 years, some graduates didn’t even touch a bit of their degree related stuffs since their first day at work. I have stories of my own too..
