speechless for speeches
Dr. Farish Noor. I used to have his picture hanged on my wall in my office. of course with an article of him writing about being Malaysian. An insipiring speaker, writer, educator, academician.. Rugi dia mengajar kat Singapore instead of Malaysia... We should have more educators like him in Malaysia.. who dares to speak the truth, opinionated, talks with his brains and not his emotions and sees through the glass..
Selamat Pagi Cikgu
Harini hari last jumpa Oma, Frau S. After class I went to see her and salam. Dalam hati I said, Mintak halalkan ilmu cikgu.. I can't find the words to say it in English.. In German, lagiiiii lah... I hope sampailah kat dia.. in a way. Harini kesian sangat because during class, the Orientals merangkumi dari negara China borak² mase Oma tengah ngajar. And it was soo bising and rude. Memang la diorang tu kawan saya and Oma tak sehappening as Markus tapi respect la sket.. Dia dah la dah tua.. And most importantly cikgu lak tu..
Jahatkan kitorang panggil dia Oma (grandma). But whatever it is, dia tetap cikgu. And I respect her for her work.
Moralnya, respect your teachers okay..

Masih Melayu di Mannheim
I had just written a post to wish everyone selamat hari merdeka. :)
Today is the first day of my last week in class with my classmates. It was a mundane day. Frau S, Oma, yang ngajar and dunno why harini dia moodswing sikit. Perhaps it was the SUPERCOLD weather! Today, after so long, I wore my WINTERJACKET because it was just too cold. wetter.com said Mannheim ada Wetterwarnung so kena berjaga - jaga lah. Keluar rumah jer, even though wetter.com said cuaca macam 11°C tadi (during Summer okay), but it felt colder because of the strong wind. Memang rasa nak melayang badan. The wind was so strong, I could feel it blowing angrily at my face. Sebab tu harini keluar rumah awal sikit. 1st kena buang sampah. 2nd sebab takut tertinggal S-Bahn and wasn't sure if I could walk fast enough sebab angin kuat sangat. The past few days has been like that. Only pagi tadi was the paling² punyaa.. Tengah hari not so bad, ada yang jalan² pakai lengan panjang je. But I still had my jacket on.
Kat rumah ni pun tengah pakai my climawarm sweater. Tapi jari jemari rasa sejuk. I can't imagine how winter is gonna be like. This is not even Autumn yet. Tapi patung² kat kedai² sume dah pakai baju Autumn dah. Now I understand why dalam citer omputih they always ask about the weather. 'Hey, how's the weather?' Sebab it's the first thing that comes into mind bila nak keluar rumah or when you look out the window.
Deutch. My classmate, Mary Nela from Romania (cara sebut Marinellla.. ala ala italian), she always say that she thinks in Deutsch. And some of the words secara automatic jadi Deutsch tiba². A few incidents happened to me also. Eg.
1. Baru kejap ni, I wanted to type Eg. I tertype zB, zum Beispeil (Contohnya).
2. The other day, my FB status was, Das Wetter is gorgeous! and my sister commented, 'wetter?' dah terbiasa tulis wetter (weather)
3. I wanted to write shiftwork, I tertulis schiftwerk. Lepas tu padam, tulis schiftWORK. I corrected the work tapi tertulis lagi sch- . Because in Deutsch. yang ada sh- jer, mesti dijadikan sch-
4. Haritu I was thinking so hard satu perkataan ni in Deutsch, apa bendenya in English. Lame sangat baru dapat balik. Tapi now I dah lupa balik dah apa perkataan tu.. (or maybe signs of ageing??)
Ada lagi insiden² lain yang agak menakutkan saya jugak lah. We were discussing this in class and it seems that I wasn't the only one experiencing this. Bila mothertongue kita adalah bukan English, akan jadi problem balik nak cakap English balik.
So, well.. Itulah dia.. Apa yang dialami sekarang ini. Oh yes, the other day, Markus made me recite A-B-C (in Deutsch) sampai Z sebab tersalah sebut VW.. Its supposed to be FAU-VEY.. Hahaha kelakar²..
Oh another thing to share, when it rains.. everyone will do, 'Eh, hari ini hujan lebat' cause that's what I taught them :p Siap ada Eh kat depan :p hahahahah
Have a great week ahead everyone! Blogger tak gila harini... :)

Selamat Hari Merdeka Malaysia
Esok is 31st August 2010. Hari yang sungguh bermakna buat semua rakyat Malaysia. Tetapi makna itu berbeza mengikut zaman. Kalau muda remaja, would me, Yay esok cuti takde kelas.. Kalau untuk dewasa sikit. Yay esok boleh bangun lambat , gi shopping, lepak rumah, jalan tak jam (ye ke?), __________(fill in the blank)_________. Kalau untuk generation yang lebih lama, merdeka akan membuatkan mereka mengingati perjuangan semua rakyat Malaysia untuk satu misi.. Merdeka. Tidak kira agama, bangsa dan budaya. We are united. As one.
Selamat Hari Merdeka Malaysia .. and to all Malaysia.. no matter in whichever part of the world you may be..

sini pun ada drama tau
Its been months that I am here. Actually it was 2 days ago and I had written a very long and meaningful blog until BLOGGER jadi gila! and everything that I blogged about vanished into thin web-air. sigh°° takde rezeki.
Updates : nothing much though. Been going to school everyday and weekends lepak at home kemas rumah, and hangging out with my husband. (I still can't call him hubby like everyone else does. I don't know why.. ). Puasa has been great. Alhamdulillah. The weather is really mundane and cold (good for us who are fasting). And maghrib time is now getting earlier and earlier everyday :) Although it's not officially Autumn, but it feels like it. Even though I have never experienced Autumn before :p
Next week will be my last week attending class. I have enrolled for the following course in December. It's kinda sad though, that I will be joining another group. I really enjoy my class and my teacher, Markus is great. He makes us really study and learn Deutsch. For A2,1, since Agnes is teaching another group, we were assigned a new teacher. Everyone calls her Oma (grandma) because she is quite elderly. At feel abit kesian because my classmates always say that she is slow and boring, since we are very used to Markus' tempo. It's true though, she is slow tapi I am abit softhearted kot. .. Ntah..
Anyway, the drama between Mr.Z and Mr.S. Ok saya akan tulis in BM now. Sebab kot² la my classmate terjumpa this blog ker :p Ingat tak I ada cakap tentang this one guy yang ajak semua orang keluar makan kecuali myself and 2 lagi budak Arab ? Ok. Kisahnya berlalu about a month ago. A few weeks before bulan puasa. We were talking about bulan puasa. And S was explaining pasal apa itu puasa pada Z. Skali I diganggu oleh classmate lain about some question so I wasn't 100% there. Ni berlaku mase 15 mins rehat. Tau² jer, S cakap to Z, in English. 'Aku boleh bunuh kau kalau kau cakap macam tu tau..' And he sounded serious. Tiba² cikgu pun masuk. Sekali saya tanya Z. KEnapa ? Dia cakap dia tak percaya pada Tuhan. Saya tanya dia, dia takde agama ker ? Dia cakap dia seorang Christian tapi tak penah practise. And dia cakap dia tak percaya pada Tuhan dan cakap jugak, so what? Ok la fine. Dia tak percaya Tuhan. Lantak pi laa.. I pun malas nak argue dengan dia sebabnya dia memang macam ego. Tau tau jer lepas tu Z dan S sudah tidak bertegur sapa. And I asked S, kenapa korang tak cakap. Dia pun citer la pasal insiden tu. S tak citer secara detail tapi dia citer yang Z cakap dia tak percaya pada Tuhan and ada lagi yang dia cakap yang S tak suka. Saya tak berani nak tanya lebih² .. Tapi moralnya gitu lah.
Semenjak tu, Z tidak bertegur saya dan S (itu yang saya nampak). Sebab kadang² balik sekolah, saya akan jalan bersama S sampai ke Lidl. Dan Z akan bypass kitorang tanpa memandang and buat dunno. Padahal satu kelas. Kalau dulu Z akan cuit belakang saya atau tarik beg untuk usik lepas tu terus potong and cakap Byee! Tapi haritu saya greet dia Guten Morgen (good morning) pun dia tak pandang pun nak jawab.
Takpe la. Saya pun malas nak berkawan dengan orang sebegitu ego dan sentiasa fikirkan dia tu betul. Kadang² dalam kelas dia letak kaki atas meja (macam dalam movie) waktu rehat. Macam bagus la. Tau la dia matsalleh and memang dia bijak dalam kelas. Kadang² tu dia asik² belek² hp and I find it rather rude, cikgu tengah ngajar lepas tu dia tak pay attention. Ada sekali tu cikgu tanya dia soalan time dia tengah main hp, and dia boleh cakap, 'apa dia? i wasn't listening'.
Mungkin dia tercabar sebab dia seorang lelaki and tak bekerja and wife dia bekerja. Sbb haritu the class was discussing about Hous-men, and Z bulat² membangkang and cakap, apsal lak tak boleh ? sah sah dia tak setuju sebab dia adalah seorang Hous-men jugak. Dari tu kami semua boleh nampak yang dia ni stock offensive-defensive kinda. So biarlah dia.. Penat jer panjang lebar citer pasal mamat nih. Hmmph.. Bukan apa, kitorang reramai dari bulan 6, asik menghadap muka sama jer.. makin lama, rasa makin rapat sesama classmate.. and sedih la bila ada gado gado macam nih.. Tapi next week is my last week with them and they will go on sampai december.. Bestnya.. I december baru sambung.. and most probably inshaAllah kalu semua okay, March akan amek pekse.. I hope I can do it.. Then, I boleh la either sambung blajar or cari kerja sini pun best jugak :) Inshallah, kalau usaha, ada jayanya :)
Okla, I buat post lain la pulak untuk cerita benda lain k..
Take care all. Selamat berpuasa!

malas-nak-type syndrom
Im so bad. For a few days, I got the 'malas-nak-type' syndrom. I didn't update my facebook or my blog or replied any emails (ko punya Shaz, nnt aku reply) until today. But I am slowly getting there.
Kenapa ? Perhaps because it is Ramadhan. Which is a good thing. Kurangkan berFB, that's my daily goal :)
Yesterday was quite a tiring day. I was up and down the city trying to find 40 X 40 X 40 boxes or nearest to it or smaller.. Jumpa la kat Bauhaus tapi 41 X 45.5 X 34.5. I didn't get them yet. That would be my last resort kalu tak jumpa. Balik jer flat. But while singgahing at Galleria Kaufhof, (suka nya!) I saw Dr. Oatker's instant chocolate cake and terus teringin sangat nak buat. So I bought it. Nak bake smlm la kire.. But I was too tired when I got back. I reached home at 415pm and a few minutes after that my husband pun sampai. Here was our conversation.
Husband : I bought something today.
Me : Waaa.. für mich?? (for me)
Husband : Nein, für uns (No, for us).
My husband took something our of his bag and tada! There were noodles, sardine with tomatoes and .............. keropok!
Husband : You nak order pizza kan ? Dengan syarat, kena goreng keropok nih.. :p
Me : waaaa bestnya!! ok ok, nanti I gorengkan.. Actually, I pun ada beli something.. für uns auch.. (for us also)..
I took out the cake yg beli from Kaufhof..
Husband : waaa.. you nak bake ke tu ? Tapi I punya lagi best.. Kek mana² boleh dapat.. Ni keropok.. How can you beat that! :p
Betul gak tuu :p Memang dok cari keropok for awhile now.. Ada je kat Asea Shop tu tapi tak jumpa. Kedai Asea Shop tu mmg macam horror sikit. Banyak sangat barang and lantai dia warna hitam. Lorong dia kecik sangat and takde tempat nak letak barang.. Some of the things dia pakai letak je atas lantai.. It reminds me of kedai runcit old skool kat Mesia.. particularly kat SS5 :p
Later on I ordered la Pizza after berhari hari teringin nak makan pizza.. On Sunday, I ordered Joey's Pizza gak. Punya la excited nak makan vege pizza. Skali tersalah order yang Salami punya.. Frustnya tak boleh makan.. tak halal maa.. Dalam hati menangis.. Nevertheless, bersyukur la sebab masih ada makanan yang boleh dimakan.. Sebelum tu, I made roti jala tapi fail...2 round.. And masa buka puasa, I ate pudding roti yang dah lain macam rasanya.. (rosak).. So after all the aftermath, yesterday's pizza (vege.. finally!) tasted so sedap..
Update citer about school pulak. A guy classmate yesterday invited everyone keluar lunch at some Bistro today.. except for.. guess who ? guess guess?? except for me and another 2 Iranian students.. Warum ? Memang la we all tengah puasa tapi dia ni memang purposely pergi kat everyone except for us..
Hmm.. sedih tu sedih la.. but malas la nak layan orang yang ego and always thinks he is right.. (Actually ada citer yang lebih panjang and hangat di sebalik kisah nih, kalau dah habis malas-nak-type syndrom ni, I will blog about it okay). Oklah, I have to go. Syndrom is attacking now!
Tschüss! and selamat berpuasa!!
PS : Perasan tak pattern I tulis macam tengah bercakap dengan orang ?

I just couldn't find an answer for it
We played a game the other day in class. My teacher said what's the first word that comes into mind when you people ask you about Deutschland. Here were the answers from our class
1. Autos - BMW
2. Autos - Audi, Mercedes
3. Bier
4. Viele Bier (A lot of Beer)
5. Pünktlich (Punctual)
6. Old fashion
7. Industry
8.Langweilig (Boring)
9. Sauber (Clean)
10. Schön (Beautiful)
etc. etc...
Guess which one was my answer ? Punctual. The bus and S-Bahn still amazes me!
When I told my husband about this, suddenly I asked him.
Wife : Kenapa kalau pikir german atau germany jer, mesti orang pikir tentang kereta or technology ?
Husband : Cause they are talented in doing those stuff.
Wife : Ye la, tapi kenapa ?
Husband : Cause they are talented.
Wife : Ye la (this kept going for a while until).. kenapa ? Mesti ada sebab ? Mesti ada something tentang diorang yang orang lain takde..
Husband : I don't know. Memang macam tu. Macam orang cina is good with managing money. Sama lah..
Wife : Yang tu I tau jawapan dia. Dulu kawan I cina dia ckp, orang cina kalau mase dinner, diorg akan duduk satu family and father dia sambil² makan tu akan ajar mcm mana nak uruskan duit. It's like compulsary. Memang mcm tu.. Everytime time makan jer, mesti ada ilmu² yg ayah atau mak dia akan turunkan..
Husband : ooo okay..
Wife : So, kenapa orang German pandai dengan technology sumer ?
Husband : Hmm.. sebab diorang disiplin kot..
Wife : haah kan.. tol gak tuu..
Perhaps. It is true.. So what comes to mind when you think of Malaysia ?

Gig 2
Halu all,
I am back again.. with the usual .. nothing much going on. just going back and forth to school. Next week I will be entering the 3rd level of my Deutschkurs. Alhamdulillah.
Today, I went to Galleria Kaufhof in Mannheim. Bestnya! Ada sale buku² wow! If only the books were in English and the prices were in RM instead of €. Trotzdem (Nevertheless), I bought a Kochbuch (cook book) for 4.99€! Cool ay! Ada satu lagi from Dr. Oatker but The Italienische Küche looked interessanter als die anderen Bücher (more interesting as to other books. See, German is not that difficult after all :)
Anyway, this week we learned not only about Deutsche Sprache, we also learned about Deutschland and Deutsche Kultur (bukan pengkulturan bio tu.. culture as in Budaya). Its an interesting topic as the teacher also touched abit on the Zweite Weltkrieg (World War 2). The rest, I had to read about it myself cause I forgot everything I learned during Form 5 :p (my bad.. I never liked History). One fact that might interest you also is that the English language we speak today was brought to Britain by the German Invaders (wiki). And my teacher also told us that the English people didn't like the Germans (back then) so they changed some of the names so that it won't sound German. i.e. Miller was changed from Müller. And Smith was originally Schmitt.
It's really amazing to know all this (well, at least for me). Okla, update tak panjang sangat this time because I am abit tired and not so well (Don't get too excited, I am not pregnant - why I say this? because everytime I say I am not well the first thing that comes to mind is that I am pregnant).
So people, take care! bis dann.. Tschüss!
