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!!

safe to say a was pretty pissed off!! seriously if ur trying to sell ppl product like that, u don't go around insulting ur customers rite? ridiculous!

but revenge was sweet!!! nurul met the dude (based on aireena's description!) in alor setar.... story for another day~~ lol

what would u do?? i mean i was in a good mood that day just passing my BLS course.... so i malas wanna retaliate.... but isn't this a WTF kinda stories???

my apologies~~

hey there.... first and foremost, i should probably say i'm sorry ( to my self obviously! ) for my absence... i know i've been missing since december but many things have been going on and if i list them all down it will take centuries.... i mean if u know me well enough, u know i have what psychiatrists call a slight case of "flight of ideas" heheheheheh :p

okay la... i'll let u in on some news.... my laptop up and died on me!!! yes... the motherboard fried and since the cost to repair it equals to half the price of a decent new laptop, i decided to just get a new one.... so right now and for near to 2 months now, i've been laptop-less.... and i feel like a FREAKING CAVEPERSON!! >_< i tell u.... after living with almost 24 hour internet access.... it's just cruel and unusual punishment... so now i'm kinda leeching of nurul ( my saviour!! ) by using her laptop and internet for all purposes including my many assignments!! THANK U HUBS!!

well.... what's new with me?? i just officially finished my neurology posting.... actually, it is really in a bizarre way interesting.... yes, i suprise even myself by saying this!!! so i'm going to start my final lower-cycle posting of dermatology on monday and i have to say... kinda malas!!! :p oh and if any of you wanna know, i participated in Earth Hour with my housemates!!! i have to say that in the whole of Kangar it kinda felt like we were the only one's taking part but i'm sure there are a few enlightened souls that took part... albeit in small groups scattered sparsely all over Perlis!! well, what do u do in the dark?? as if u don't already know.... CAMWHORING!!! hahahahahahahah

yes ppl, even ms ai took part in the camwhoring~~~ all in all, it was kinda nice just to participate but it would have been nicer to have a gathering of close friends and just celebrating in the dark!!! >_< style="font-weight: bold;">GOOD NEWS!!! ( for me at least! ) bestie lyn is coming back and i'm so so so so happy!!!! cos the original plan was that i wouldn't get to see her this year~~~ i'm SUPER EXCITED!!! lyn~~~ I MISS YOU!!!

on another note, i just wanna say that i'm aware i live in a weird country right now... ala ala twilight zone..... cos only in twilight zone will someone that has been elected to rule a country will still have unresolved ( in my opinion ) criminal case..... haih... seriously, the 5th was nice but as a leader aiyoo.... and the 6th.... need i say more.... friends of mine already predicting our doom!!! but maybe we should wait and see... maybe... however improbable that maybe is, give the guy benefit of a doubt (is that the term?)

i probably have many things to say but i should just not say so much!!! hehehehe YET! until later ppl... u guys know i love u rite??? ( u know who u are!! ) LATER..... xoxoxoxoxo

to the one who is annoying the CRAP out of me!!!

dear person...

i hope u realise that as time wears on, my patience is wearing thin.. i've already screwed u up before but u really deserve a good thrashing for what u did today!!!

it is ur responsibility to come to the hospital everyday, but today u were a no-show!! i mean u do this kinda crap A LOT lately.... when the specialist asked where u were, all of us were at a loss at how to respond thinking of ways to save ur ass from trouble~~ (so not worth it!)... and he said that since we're group members, we should noe y ur not around!! hahahaha like we dunno u for the lazy ass that u r (not that i'm soooo rajin but i come to the hospital at least!). damn we we're embarassed cos we seemed so not united as a team!! (if we had a choice i wouldn't want u to be in the group anyway!)

when someone called u, u said u we're AT HOME!!! WTF?? hahahah the best part is u said u we're going to be a little bit late.... fine~~~ but by 12 noon when u didn't show up.... we we're not even suprised!! IF U WE'RE NOT GOING TO SHOW UP, Y DID U SAY U WILL IDIOT!!!
the afternoon classes we're also a NO-SHOW! i mean seriously~~ but i found out y u didn't bother showing up to class at all.... YOUR BF IS IN TOWN!!!! i feel like cursing for a whole minute... but too bad i don't curse... not really~~

all i can say is....nothing~~ cos ur a hopeless case who dunno where her priorities lie... (typical kampong thinking.... i have to put my man first before everything else!) all i can say is i hope it's worth it!~~


ps: ppl, i noe i'm ranting really bad but i have no outlet and i need to get rid of my pent up frustrations!!! SORRY for the whine spree!!!

pps : nurul!!!! i miss u lar.... r u bz?? my msges are left unanswered, y?~~~ huhuhuhuh

PLEASE... do your job!!

what is a leader? a leader is suppose to lead the team, be at the frontlines and be responsible for almost everything..... so why izzit that some ppl just don't get the concept?? is a leader suppose to just disappear without telling the rest of the team? is the leader suppose to be the first one to go home? isn't the leader supposed to be the one speaking to the person in charge?

damn... we only made her leader so she'll quit with the complaints.. most especially "tak fair lar macam nie" and "haritu i dah buat dh.. korang lar pulak!".. if u want to ungkit everything u've done, even i can say i've done a lot!! but do i berkira with u?? i don't want to berkira but with this kind of ppl~~~~

now, as it is we're totally relying on another groups leader and even she is so close to breaking down with all the pressure~~ damn our USELESS leader!!! the only thing she's good for os bringing her laptop evrywhere!!

on another note, another person is becoming just as annoying~~ seriously.... just disappearing off and when i called to ask where she is?? guess what?? she's already at home while the leader is MIA..... all the rest of us fumed and if emotions could kill, someone would be dead!!! she said she went to the toilet and after that she called her friend (who is in another group) and when she ws told that class for the day is finished, she just went home without checking with her group members!!

just thinking about it sets me off... so when i went off at her behaviour she just said "sama jer kalo telefon *** and telefon korang!!".... damn with the stupid answers!! haih... what is happening to the world!! we actually had an assignment to do~~~ so x kompak u noe....

i guess i've whined enuff for today.... i guess cos i do't have an outlet so if i bottle it up i'm gonna BLOW UP! phew~~ got that off my chest!! feeling better now!! :p

misuse of power?

one fine day, i was trying to find a parking space during lunch.. after circling the entire place, i find no parking space until voila!! suddenly somebody wants to go out of their parking space....

so i waited for them to come out, signal on and everything when suddenly "PON PON!" somebody honked me from the back... i saw a police bike at the back and ignored it la... ummm i mean i was waiting for a parking space and i had a signal on! BUT WAIT! "PON PON!"

if u haven't guessed it, yes, it was the policeman who was honking me~~~ when i signaled him that i was waitting for a parking space, he just signaled "get a move on!!" SHIT!!..i i swear if it was not the police, or not a public place, i'll definitely screw him up or at the very least flash the middle finger to the idiot!!!! AAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!! that was how frustrated i was...

FYI, i have flashed the middle finger to a "so-called" policeman but at the time i was not aware he was a policeman... and i was at home... private property.. meaning i can do whatever i want!!! oh but the guy so deserved it!! :p

seriously.... isn't this misuse of power??? do i expect too much?? haih~~ i give up~~

going to melaka~~

yay!! i'm going to be in Melaka for the AFS Volunteers Congress starting Saturday till Sunday!!! i can't wait cos i'll be able to see the ppl i miss!!! hahahahaha u noe me being so isolated from the world~~~

and i'll be able to attend the end of stay dinner!!! <3 i really wanna see some of those kids~~~

but i still dread the LOOOOONGGG bus ride!!! haih... the things i go through... going to transit in KL first cos i dun wanna naik some unknown bus directly to melaka... am i too choosy?? :P

to the one that needs encouragement~~~

my worst nightmare will be to lose a parent and family member~~ coping is never easy but as they say, time will eventually heal all wounds. i won't even pretend to understand what you're feeling but i hope i'll be able to be there for you when u need me... if not a shoulder to cry on, a hug, just to talk, just to be there, just to text u in silent encouragement~~

i really hope u'll jump up from this as fast as i hope u can but only time will tell right??
stay strong my loved one, my friend..... the one who needs encouragement.
