English

Walaupun tajuk post kali ini adalah "english" tetapi saya akan berbahasa melayu sepanjang entry ini. *okay, tak mungkin*

Kenapa dengan english? Begini ceritanya, selalu saja saya terbaca di laman sesawang Facebook status rakan rakan yang menggunakan english. Ini termasuklah diri ini. Tapi, perlu diingatkan di sini entry ini BUKAN untuk mengutuk menghina mencaci mengherdik mereka mereka ini dan mungkin diri saya sendiri juga. TAPI hanyalah sekadar NASIHAT & PERINGATAN. Jadi, janganlah ada yang sentap lepas baca. :)

Selalu sangat saya terbaca di Facebook status english yang maksudnya sepatutnya sangat mendalam. Tapi malang, kerana penggunaan English yang salah, struktur ayat yang salah ataupun direct translation dari bahasa melayu ke english menyebabkan status status yang bagus ini kadang kadang kurang difahami.

Apa? Ain berlagak? Tak ! Bukan nak meninggi diri. Ain bukan cikgu english dan ain tak hebat pun. Cuma dari pembacaan dan pembelajaran selama hidup 21 tahun ini *tua rasa* dapatlah kesan kesalahan kesalahan ini. Sedikit sebanyak, dalam entry ini dapatlah kita belajar sama sama kan? :) Sejujurnya, di sekolah dulu Ain sangatlah lemah dan tak yakin langsung nak bertutur dengan bahasa inggeris. Risau takut Ain tak dapat bersaing untuk dapatkan kerja dan bergaul di masa hadapan, abah hantar ain private tuition untuk english semata-mata. Cikgu Ain itu lah yang banyak membantu Ain sampai sekarang English tak menjadi masalah buat Ain.

Errr.... okay tiba tiba rasa letih type baku baku ni, pendek kata kalau nak buat status English di FB biarlah yang betul structure ayatnya and JANGAN guna direct translation. Ain nak tegur dalam FB nanti segan pulak and orang ingat Ain ni berlagak gila. Tapi seriously, bukan la nak membanggakan bahasa penjajah ni *dah tau confirm ada orang bangkitkan isu ni*. Cuma fikirlah, kalau Malaysian berfikiran sesempit ini, mmg takkan maju ! Menguasai bahasa penjajah bukan bermaksud kita masih dijajah ! Sebaliknya, untuk meletakkan kita sebaris dengan penjajah penjajah ni sume.

Think of it this way, would it be possible that they could manipulate us just by using words because they know how incapable of us to communicate with them clearly?

Bukan di peringkat negara je, tapi diperingkat office2 class and such.

Dalam entry ni jugak, ain akan feature a few examples of FB statuses yg ... pendek kata sukar difahami and maybe re-translate it. Siapa terasa status die jangan marah ye? :)

X: What so means?
Okay I really think this is supposed to be : What does it means?

X: ppl who are believe only wat they are see
Okay I really think this is supposed to be : People believe only what they see

Okay, ni je. HAHA. Gaya macam banyak eh? Malam ni ta ramai buat status, ramai upload gambar raya je. Mood raya lah katakan. :D

How to improve?

senang!

READ a lot of books in english ! Be it a fantasy novel, love novel or even educational book. BUT don't just read, take note on how the author structure their sentence and jot down every word that you don't understand and search through the dictionary for the meaning.

DON'T look through English-Malay dictionary. Instead, find an English-English dictionary. It helps to build your vocabulary.

CONFIDENCE ! okay fine, this is a cliché. This applies more to speaking not writing. How to learn speaking in correct English? Movies! Typical malays (I don't know how chinese & indians work this out) would rely on the subtitles. Change from reading to listening. Try to watch movies w/o the translation then try  imitating them. I find that children (my sisters mostly) learn through this way. I do too !

Now, I think i've ramble a lot! Sorry, I am SAD to see bad english especially when you are already in your 20's .

Don't let people underestimate you just because you can't communicate with an understandable english. :)

XOXO

p/s: Bahasa baku mula mula bajet nak tunjuk semangat ke-Malaysia-an tapi habit dah tulis bahasa rojak ni. Balik balik kesitu jugaklah. Kepada pencinta Bahasa boleh lah beri tunjuk ajar kepada saya camana nak buang habit guna bahasa rojak nih !

p/s/s: I blog in English all the time is also one way to improve my English which is not perfect. Go through my old posts, you WILL find errors. :) If you do find errors in this posts do let me know okay?

Raya Fashion

Typical topic ain't it? LOL! 


But then, its one of the excitement of after-raya. Everyone, like every single person on FB will be uploading their Raya pictures, either family pictures, vain self pictures (or is it just me?) or food pictures. I love browsing through all of this especially ones that have people wearing all kinds of fashion in it. 


So, this Raya one thing that caught my eyes is leopard prints ! Something different from the original flowery pattern like mine. 


A friend of mine, her family (the girls ofc) all don on a simple plain baju kurung with leopard prints hijabs! Cute !

See how even her mum is wearing a leopard printed pashmina :D

My classmate on the other hand opted for a green leopard printed baju kurung paired with a green satin hijab! 

See how her cousins are also using leopard printed hijabs? Fashionista family! *woot*

Another one is my neighbour, donning on a kaftan kurung where the kaftan is a plain purple while the sarong is leopard printed ! Gorgeous I have to say! 

Wait, I think i see more of leopard but I can't recall. LOLS! Those mentions are the one that really caught my eyes as animal prints trends had been going on for a while and to be honest I really am not a big fan of it. Nice to have some stuffs with the trend though. :D 


Will try to update with pictures the next time! 


I wonder, what is the favourite look for Raya? 


XOXO

Malaysia vs Singapore

I did say I was going to post something about the game itself, no? :)

Well, I am no expert I warn you.

But hey don't I hate Singapore during the game !

I don't want to say anything about their skills, ball handling or those stuffs cause I really don't know much about it. But through out the game, I am annoyed with Singapore players wasting time. Orang lain yang kena orang lain yang injured. Tak ke weirdddd?

Tactics you say?

Well, to me if you are really that good, that why bother with these lame tactics?

Half way through the game I am already bored. What with Singapore injuring themselves all the time and Malaysia still couldn't get a goal.

I pity Singapore's physiotherapist though. Haha. Keep running into the pitch carrying all those bags. Are Singapore players really that weak that they keep on injuring themselves? Or is it the pitch?

Yela kan, Singapore's pitch kan artificial. ;)

All through out the week/days to the game, loads of things are being said about Singaporean. I never been to Singapore, never experienced their infamous courtesy before therefore I won't comment about it.

What I am trying to say is that Singapore player should get theirselves check and train harder so that they won't get injured so much anymore. If, I say IF they are pretending, than they also should get their head check. No one wants to get injured except them. Kalau tiba tiba injured betul betul? tak padan muka ? and IF lets say they are pretending, than I am not sad that Malaysia lose. We lose with dignity. :)

Howeverrrr, Malaysian supporters throwing a shower of bottles/cans etc? NOT COOL ! It just shows how low our mentalities are. I am sad by this event. :( I know I know, sangat geram kan?

But still, aren't Malaysians known for our courtesy too? In a positive way ofcourse.

I plea,

STOP WITH THIS CHILDISH IMMATURE ACTIONS OF THROWING STUFFS , BURNING STUFFS AND LASERS DURING A FOOTBALL MATCH.

Sempena Bulan Ogos yang mulia ini marilah berubah. :D

SELAMAT MENYAMBUT HARI KEMERDEKAAN !

XOXO

Naza World Supports Harimau Malaya

The title speaks for itself. :)

Naza World are now pledging to support sports as the way of life. Or something like that. Sorry, I don't re-call the exact pledge and just too lazy to re-trace it. I do remember they tweeted about it.

So, they sponsored Chelsea's Asia Tour and become the Official Transport. They gave outs free tix and meet & greet pass and even chauffeured the winners to the games. Yes, these winners got police escorts to the games and could forget the hassle of traffics and parkings and best seats.

No, I didn't get these VIP treatments when I went to the Chelsea game.

Again, Naza World gave out free tix via twitter for the Msia vs Singapore game. I was one of the lucky one to get the tix. What made me even excited for the game is because Mr. Sportsgeek was SUPER EXCITED to go to the game. At first he was not really in the mood to go as we were in the middle of 'the' mood. Once I announced that I've got free tix, his mood just rise up in a speed of light. Sumpah die gila excited.

Sadly, we didn't get our VIP treatment as much as we hoped for. Though we're not complaining. Apparently, there's some misunderstanding that made us left behind by the Vespa convoy and the police escorts. To make matters worst, our seats are full. Yes. Full. Somehow, there was no one guarding the entrance thus supporters takes advantage. I am also guessing 'ulat tiket' bersepah. Cause seriously, the number of supporters was more than the seats capacity. Crazy atmosphere ! Lucky we manage to get seats although not the best seats but but it was exactly besides the main entrance for the players. So yes, Malaysian players upclose. I don't even bother looking at Singapore's.

However, Naza World did make it up to us by inviting us to an Iftar Session with Dato Wira SM Faisal and his wife. unfortunately, I can't make it. Saaddd :(

Anyway, click here and here for pictures of both events ! I didn't get any pictures of my own. We did bring camera but it's full of my pictures. *LOL*

I'll make a post about the game itself soon.

XOXO

Late Late Post

Yes yes I know ! Football is over ~ Although BPL will starts again in the next few days, here I am talking about pre-season. Ketinggalan zaman maybe. But I just didn't find the time to post about it. :)

Sooo, there I was at Chelsea's Asia Tour. I literally melts whenever I sight Torres. and No, I didn't scream a fan girls scream. Chant, half-way yeah. but mostly I just laze my eyes on him and go *sighhh*. HAHAHAHA.

A little reminder of the controversional score.

Chelsea FC 1 - Harimau Malaya 0

There are like LOTS of pictures but since I am too lazy to choose. U can head on here.

So, during the training our views are severely obstructed by the medias =.=' It annoys us but we still had some shots of the players. Plus earlier before the training, players was kicking balls to us viewers. Lucky Hasmin got one from Bosingwa ! *excited-gila-la-masa-dapat*

Even before the players or anyone was out, there was some commotions in the stadium when 2 guys wears MU jersey. I don't know whether its on purpose or not but I don't understand why? The same commotion also happens during Liverpool's training session. I'm guessing only the fanatics would understands why. Any MU supporters care to explain?

The game ! the game itself was filled with me enjoying the view ! Okay, on a more serious level. I actually met and get to know roughly 2 guys who had been supporting Chelsea since forever ! *clapclapclap* They're also following Chelsea around for their Asia Tour. Now, that's what I call a fanatic ! Anyway, the controversional goal. Hum, I don't know, from my point of view, who cares? Its a friendly game and the goal is from a free-kick/penalty. Can't remember. My brother who sat behind the goal post during the kick said it is a goal as the ball did past through the line. Plus, Malaysia was good. I must say, I am in denial when Chelsea can't seem to get through Malaysian's defence. Good for them !

All in all, I had great times with great companions ! =D

XOXO

Month of Love

Yes. Its the month of Love and its not February. :)

Alhamdullilah, I've been given the age to again, meet Ramadhan Al Kareem.

I felt like I have a lot to share, and I really do. Somehow, the words are not there. This year's Ramadhan have quite a special effect on me. There's a feeling that I just can't explain in words. Only that, I know its a good positive feeling.

So to all readers who found me, or found this blog by accident. :)

I seek forgiveness if I had ever wronged any of you in any way possible. I know sometimes, I can be harsh and insensitive. May Allah S.W.T bless you for the forgiveness you gave to everyone who hurts you.

May this Ramadhan be fill with good deeds and kindness. May this Ramadhan be a turning point in us. May it be a month full of blessings. May it be a month that we really proves our Love to Allah S.W.T.

Honestly, I am hoping for the best in me. Please, pray that Allah S.W.T would show me the way. I'll pray for you too, my sisters & brothers of Muslim.

Sincerely, Nur Ain Ahmad Fadzil.
