linguaphone "boy"!

okay... this might turm out to be a long post cos its been a while but maybe i'll break it up into a few parts.... we all know what a drag it is to read super long postings rite? :p

on sunday, the 28th of june, after attending my Basic Life Support (BLS) course (which will be explained later), i decided to go and check out the perlis book fair... if u noe me well enuff, u'll noe that i'm an absolute book addict (as long as it's novels! lol). the MAIN reason was to see if i can find an english novel in Perlis... yes ppl, believe it or not, there are no english novels sold on this land called perlis~~ the only thing english is magazines and newspapers and we wonder why ppl from here don't speak english very well rite? (some, not all) but lo and behold... it's a book fair with no english books except school books!!LAME~~~

okay.. back to my story... i was walking with aireena when near the exit we were stopped by this "boy-man" (lets call him "S") trying to sell us Linguaphone. the following is the closest i can get to the actual conversation...

S : kak... saya nak pinjam 5 minit masa kak boleh?
A : ummmm... tak payah la.... takpe....
S : kak, saya nak tanya sikit je... seberapa confident kak dengan bahasa english?
A : *smiles* saya confident sangat
S : oh ye ke? kenapa boleh confident sangat ni?
A : saya confident je la...
S : kalau macam tu, saya nak test akak boleh?
A : huh? oookaaaayyyy....

S : whatsurname?

A : *silence*

S : whatsurname?

A : Aniza

S : kata pandai bahasa english tapi jawab soalan macam tu.... orang tanya penuh, jawab pun penuh la. whatsurname?

A : my name is aniza

S : hah.. kan dah salah tu!

A : huh? tak mungkin lah saya salah... betul lah... jawapan dia my name is aniza.

S : SALAH! dalam bahasa inggris, mana ada my name is.... kena jawab my names

A : HUH? tak mungkin lah... mana ada my names...

S : iyaaa.... takde my name is, jawapan betul dia my names ....

A : tak mungkin lah... saya confident jawapan saya betul.

S : okay... kak ada amik MUET tak?

A : ada

S : dapat band berapa?

A : dapat band 5

S : *smirks* band 5? saya pun dapat band 5 gak, saya belajar kat UITM amik commercial marketing (or something sounding like that la i x dgr). saya tak percaya kak nyer MUET band 5... menurut saya, kak band 2!

A : BAND 2??!! TAK MUNGKIN!!

S : kalau menurut saya kak band 2 je... kalo orang yang band 5, vocabulary kena ada 2000 kata... kak rasa kak ada 2000 kata x?

A : adalah!!!

suddenly he asks me to duduk kat 1 of the tables.... took a paper and pen and wrote the word police....

S : camner nak sebut ni?

Ai : police (cara malaysian cakap la... po-lis.. normal right?)

A : puh-lease (remembering he's trying to be perfect!)

S : so macam mana nie... 1 jawab polis, 1 lagi puhlease....

A : jawaban dia puh-lease...

S : baru betul...

i still x puas hati pasal the names thing.... so i asked him to write it down... he wrote down names as in my names aniza!

A : ni tak mungkin sangat ni...

S : kenapa tak mungkin... betul la.. tak percaya pulak!

A : saya confident gila ini salah... kalo ada 's mungkin tapi kalo names camni x mungkinla

S : kenapa kak confident sangat ni?

A : saya confidentla.... english is my first language, so i'm very confident about something so very basic

S : kak ni orang apa?

A : orang melayu

S : habis tu kenapa first language english pulak?

A : kenapa tak boleh? tapi apa pun saya confident gila nie salah...

calls a friend (T) over

S : tengok ni, diaorang x percaya names tu camni?

A : bukan saya x percaya bang... tapi kalo eja camni memang salah, kalo ada 's saya masih boleh terima lagi la

T : oh... memang ada 's

A : *with smug look on face* hah... kan i dah cakap!!

S : ohhhh *kerek look on face*

the rest of the conversation was meaningless... he probably x puas hati i proved him wrong so he ejek my penggunaan of "lah"... WTF??!

at the end of the debate, he suddenly...

S : boleh bagi saya phone no. x? saya nak testing english u lagi on the phone~~

A : * OMG please! like i'm going to cari gaduh lagi!* x payah la yer.... no!

then another colleague (B) came by and ask....

B : camner english diaorg..

S : oh... english diaorang PERFECT!

A : OH... I never said perfect!... whatever...

and then we left!!

okay.... u can insult just about everything about me but my english???? HELLOOOOOO!!

not bragging or bangga diri but my english is 1 of the things that makes me.. me!! quote gowri " if i don't have english, what do i have... i'm not good at anything else!"... i can speak proper english but there has to be occasion.. if not manglish all the way like every normal bilingual msian!!

1) a few years back (dun exactly remember when) when someone in terengganu blamed the women for not enticing enough foreigners to want to make terengganu their second home

2) also when someone said that the baju kurung school uniform is too sexy

3) i can actually go on and on but back to my story...

Malacca may give RM1,000 to men who take them as second wives

MARRIED men in Malacca may receive RM1,000 from the state government if they choose to take poor, single mothers as second wives, reported Harian Metro.

The daily quoted Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, who made the proposal, as stressing that the incentive would be given on condition, among others, that the men do not divorce their first wives.

He said the move was not to encourage polygamy but to ease the burden of single mothers who are dependent on welfare aid from various parties.

“The matter is still being considered. The state government will decide following discussions with various parties, including the Malacca Islamic Religious Department, Women and Family Development Council and Welfare Department,” he said.

In an effort to curb social ills such as illicit sex and Mat Rempit, Mohd Ali said the state government would consider giving a similar incentive to youths who get married before 30.

“Currently, young women have been discovered to have illegitimate children, tarnishing the image of Islam and that of their families.”

> The daily also highlighted a report about a man whose wife allegedly had an affair with a police officer after lodging a report on her missing car in Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam, four months ago.

The man, known only as Salman, said he was initially not concerned when his 24-year-old wife received calls from the officer because he thought it was regarding the investigation.

However, after her car was found, the officer continued to contact his wife, he said, adding that they always went out together at night.

“I don’t understand why the officer wants to disturb my wife and my marriage.”

The daily said the officer has been transferred from the district police office to the Selangor police contingent headquarters.
