ONLY THE ENGLISH COULD HAVE INVENTED THIS LANGUAGE

English is a lego language as Malay language is, borrowing from many
different sources to make up for its inadequacy! So, it is not so
logical a language linguistically. That explains its many anomalies
and probably, the British concept of democracy, which is only fit for
the British, but not others. Hence, you have democracy in HK only
after the British had left! And of course, only the British could have
left the White Rajah heritage in Borneo!

=======================================================

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,
Then shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!

Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;
neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England.
We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes,
we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,
and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing,
grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend.
If you have a bunch of o! dds and ends
and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English
should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
We ship by truck but send cargo by ship.
We have noses that run and feet that smell.
We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.
And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
in which your house can burn up as it burns
down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out,
and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

In closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother not Mop?

AND IF PEOPLE FROM POLAND ARE CALLED POLES

THEN PEOPLE FROM HOLLAND SHOULD BE HOLES

AND THE GERMANS, GERMS

Milling class...

milling class commences this week and overall it was fun learning how to shape our workpiece using machines instead of our own bare hands like last year... seriously now i realise y germany produces the best engineers in the world (sorry lah those who are in US or Aus or UK doing engineering course) coz i heard the germans learn all this stuff when they were in primary or secondary sch... not like us, now only we get to touch machines... haih

read urself wat this thing is...

different types of milling cutters...

my groupmate who din wear his duskcoat... bad example!
also shown in the pic is FP1, a type of milling machine... and the grey case is used to block the high speed chip which can burn u as soon as it touches ur skin... sth to do wif small size and high speed which produces massive heat energy, go figure out urself... physics, blah!
(we din learn how to block the chips in class, we improvise our own one... smart leh... haha)

my workpiece before it is being shaped... the diagramm on the bottom left is the product... maybe will post it up once i finish my project... hopefully it turn out to be like the diagramm shown... haha

GMI

GMI kicks off wif a blast (dunno where tat come from... haha) this week... will update more on the new campus which i think is nice but a bit empty, can even hear echos when u walk and talk around the campus... and i really like this photo coz it can be viewed up down left or right...
i was standing on a tree bark which has been cut off n i was trying hard to balance myself while pressing the camera button on the phone...

Happy faces...

whenever i feel that the weight of the world is crushing down on me, i always think of the little kids tat i had the privilege to meet during my occasional trip to the longhouses... having simple life and less worries than the so-called town ppl, i think they are the happiest ppl on earth... they can be easily satisfied by even playing games and they really giv their all in everything that they do... so y m i still holding back myself in doing certain things? tat is the most important thing i've learnt ever since i fall in love wif them...

You know you love me...

Gossip girl here, your one and only source to the scandalous lives of Shah Alam elite. (juz for hahas)

For some of us, it is also a time for english, english and more english.


Looks like someone were spotted on the train sitting side by side. Question is, who are they?

Spotted -- Queen I and Lonely Boy, happy and sweet together.

Gossip girl signing off. Who am I? That's a secret I'll never tell. You know you love me.
XOXO

Life series : Part 1 - Life talks

最近发现自己还蛮喜欢思考有关于生命的东西，也许是个人的一个怪癖，动不动就搞个什么自闭，然后就乱乱想七想八。可是这次总算有个总结出来了，那就是：生命是能说话的 - Life talks。

上帝给于我们一个很神奇的旅途，无可否认，它是充满着酸甜苦辣。可是，它也是能让我们享受神所创造的万物，包括他的种种恩典及恩惠。生命让我们能够更进一步亲身体验神在我们身上所行的一切。所以，我们更应该活出生命，活出神的应许。

下篇预告:生命不止是那样- Life is more than that

update for the sake of update

haha... as u all might hav known... i m back home... n til now, i only go out once wif eileen for supper on her birhtday night (which i completely forgot!!!) n i found out tat there's a lot of september babies compare to august (billy, ur theory doesn't really stand now) n i finally manage to find a scanner to scan my photo n signature to my cv... woooh!!! life is good here...

n now... photos :

The problem wif sibu ppl, they r rich enough to buy a big car, rich enough to eat a bowl of RM8 heh mee (prawn noodle) but no money to pay for the parking coupon... yer...


haha... sidetrack a bit... now come the real story...
this is the famous 3-layer-tea from sarawak... its nice coming back n be welcomed by food from sibu... haha... somehow i got invited to this dinner by ps lisa n auntie michelle... i think its a welcoming dinner for the new advisors of youth worship...

so great to be able to spend time wif all the aunties n uncles... miss they all so much since i left youth worship for studies...


and i oso had the chance to sing during praise n worship... ooh now i love singing back up... haha


finally i oso had to chance to get back to my comic books after so long...

tat's all from me

5 reasons i like being a Malaysian chinese...

1. i can sing 'Happy Birthday' song wif no pronunciation problem at all... try watch the taiwanese series n when they sing 'Happy Birthday' song... aish... beh tahan lah... they cannot pronounce the 'th' as in the 'f' but instead they pronounce it the 'st' way... so it sounds like 'burstday' instead of 'burfday'...

2. same goes wif 'Thank you'... try watch zhang zi yi at the mtv movie awards... aiyer... malu-nye... keep saying 'Sank-you to all my fans' =_=

3. FOOD, oh... glorious food!!! there's no need to elaborate in this n all malaysian shout :

Satay, teh tarik, rendang, nasi lemak, kampua n kompia... haha

4. who else in this world got politicians acting like entertainers to entertain the rakyat???

everyone plz laugh out loud : HAHAHA Mr-ah-watever-his-name-is-i-don-care-coz-his-name-
is-not-even-worthy-to-be-mention-here-mad

5. and finally... we get to noe FRIENDS from so many races n learn to speak so many dialects n eat so many different stuff... yeah!!!!

someitmes its easy to get angry at certain ppl but i take it as an eye-opener n a chance to pray for our country more.... together we can go through this hardship n rejoice in being a MALAYSIAN!!!

You are nobody...

評論：鄭丁賢‧只是一個失意政客

2008-09-09 19:45

阿末依斯邁（我很不屑提這個名字），他以為他是誰？

他只不過是一個失意的政客；失去靠山、失去工程，沒有合約、沒有前途的政客。

就因為一無所有，他才豁了出去，想要挑起族群情緒，製造對抗。

他以為把池水給弄濁了，就可以混水摸魚，撈起一些政治資本。

馬來西亞各族人民，智慧應該要高過阿末許多，不要按照他的劇本，隨他起舞。

馬來西亞的前途,比阿末依斯邁個人前途重要太多，太多了；所以，不必陪著他鬧下去。

各個族群之間的諒解、團結，也遠遠超出阿末依斯邁的想像；所以，不要給他有挑撥的機會。

對付一個興風作浪的政治惡客，尤其是這種不自量力的劣腳，就是把他逐出政壇，使他消聲匿跡。

同時也正告各界，這類人物和言論，在馬來西亞這個國家，絕對沒有一寸的存在空間。

就這麼簡單，結束，終點。

然後，大家過好自己的日子。

放在正常國家，就是這麼樣的處理法。因為公民是平等的，正義是要維護的。

只是要具備基本的道德勇氣而已。道德、勇氣是維持社會公正，國家和諧的必要條件，包括處理阿末的問題。

以最基本的道德衡量，就可以裁定阿末的惡劣程度。

從最基本的勇氣出發，就必須對阿末作出合理的制裁。

一次又一次的冷漠、猶豫；重覆又重覆的因循、苟且；只會助長阿末的氣焰，愈加囂張，不把任何人、任何勸說，任何壓力放在眼裡。

但是，一再的容忍、討好，卻使他膨脹起來，以為他真的可以呼風喚雨。

要阻止他玩下去，就是當頭一棒，把他狠狠的敲醒，然後大聲的告訴他：You are nobody，你只是一個失意政客。

view from the new 'laluan pejalan kaki'

aftermath... the beginning

I hav very mixed feelings about coming back home this time… hav been thinking a lot during my 2 hours flight back… it has been a journey of ups n downs the past few weeks n now its time for a short rest before embarking on a new journey… finally I’ve make my choice after much seeking n the answer is exceptionally clear… I guess God is making it very clear tat I shud go to a new place to start off a new point of my life there… wat can I do there I do not noe but I continue to trust the Lord tat He will guide me n lead me to wherever He is leading me to… n now only I understand, everything tat happen to me for the past 2 months, be it good or bad, happy or sad, satisfying or lacking, it all started to make sense… now I realize, whatever that happened, happen for a reason… tat I may trust the Lord n not lean on my own understanding to make my own decision…

things learned today :

i shall shut myself TOTALLY off when i m having PMS... nuff said

Premenstrual Syndrome: PMS is a disorder characterized by a set of hormonal changes that trigger disruptive symptoms in a significant number of women for up to two weeks prior to menstruation. Of the estimated 40 million suffers, more than 5 million require medical treatment for marked mood and behavioral changes. Often symptoms tend to taper off with menstruation and women remain symptom-free until the two weeks or so prior to the next menstrual period. These regularly recurring symptoms from ovulation until menses typify PMS, premenstrual syndrome.

Characteristics
Over 150 symptoms have been attributed to PMS. After complaints of feeling "out-of-control", anxious, depressed and having uncontrollable crying spells, the most common complaints are headache and fatigue. But symptoms may vary from month to month and there may even be symptom-free months. No women present with all the PMS symptoms. Characteristically symptoms may be both physical and emotional. They may include physical symptoms as headache, migraine, fluid retention, fatigue, constipation, painful joints, backache, abdominal cramping, heart palpitations and weight gain. Emotional and behavioral changes may include anxiety, depression, irritability, panic attacks, tension,lack of co-ordination, decreased work or social performance and altered libido.
