David Letterman

Someone said to me that an indication if you have mastered a language is you can understand their jokes. Speaking of jokes, I am now starting to watch David Letterman again. I used to watch the show a lot back in 1999, the post SPM time. What triggered me to watch it again was because his guest was Jerry Seinfeld. I think I watched almost all of Seinfeld's shows.

Anyway, David Letterman always has a segment on his show. It's called the TOP 10 List. It's quite funny though. Check this one out..

Signs the Taliban Leader You're Negotiating with is an Impostor

#10 : His beard is a glued- on carpet sample
#  9 : Agrees to peace settlement in exchange for a date with Kim Kardashian
#  8 : Just doesn't seem very Talibanny
#  7 : Got all of his terror plot ideas from 'JackAss 3D'
#  6 : You ask, 'Are you the Taliban leader?' and he responds, 'Si'    [LOL]
#  5 : Raised in the mountainous regions of Aspen, Colorado
#  4 : Looks suspiciously like Cousin Sal from 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'
#  3 : End discussion with  'Death to America and the Jets for not covering the spread against Houston'
#  2 : Keep quoting like from 'They call me Baba Booey'
#  1 : Wants to bring peace to Pakistan, Afghanistan and Jenniferanistan

Note : This is just for laughs.. Don't take it personally k..

Next Jerry Seinfeld did a stand up which was hillarious. Watch it here

Ada Apa Dengan Deutsch.. dan Deutschland

Today while walking around in the hot sun to do my assignment, I was laughing alone tanpa disedari. Mainly because I recalled several incidents yang mencuit hati and also some new experiences I would like to share that had recently happened.

Incident 1 : Ingat ni kedai Turkei ke?
Right now, we are learning Past Tense (Perfekt) in our Deutschkurs. My teacher gave us homework and usually my husband will check after I have completed it. This was the conversation..

Wife : Tolong checkkan ayat ni betul tak? '....Maria und Jochen hat ein flasche Wein getrunken und ein Stück Fleisch bestellt (Maria and Jochen minom satu gelas air wain dan order satu potong daging)... '

Husband : (checked and laughed) ... tengok la ayat you nih.. diorang minom air wein.. tapi order daging.. you igt ni kedai Turkei ke boleh order² daging.. bang.. bagi sekilo daging bang...

Wife : (Gelak tergolek²)


Incident 2 : Jikalau takde Aral Melintang

Wife : I dah pergi Aral (kedai Stesen minyak) kat KFC tapi tak jmpa gak Relentless Shots tu.. I rase kena pergi Aral lain kot..

Husband : Cuba you pergi Aral dekat Netto kat rumah tu..

Wife : Tu la I rase smlm I ada ternampak.. nak pergi balik la.. Kalu tak.. taktau lagi nak pergi Aral mane dah

Husband : I tau.. kalau u tak jumpa jugak.. I know where you should go..

Wife : Mane ? (intonation dengan penuh harapan)

Husband : Aral Melintang..

Wife : !!!!!!!!


Incident 3 : Tak berapa nak kelakar walaupun pelik tapi benar..
Conversation between me (LS) and my classmate (MC)

MC : LS, schiashishiashia (said something in Mandarin)
LS : Bitte ? (Apa mu royak nih??)
MC : You speak mandarin or cantonse ?
LS : Er... neither..
MC : Oh ? You're from Malaysia right ? I thought Malaysians can speak either Mandarin or Cantonse ?
LS : Ooh.. ya.. but those are Chinese Malaysians.. I am not.. I am a Malay..
MC : Oh ?? (surprised) You mean you're not chinese ?
LS : (nganga ???? ohmyGod... seriously????)

Incident 4: Menyenangkan benda yang susah sket

Cikgu : In Deutsch, I know you don't like it, but we have artikel for every nouns. Every noun has genders and you can know the gender of the noun from the artikel. You have to memorize each artikel for each nouns. However, there are some that you can be sure of the gender of the nouns. For example, and nouns that have a '-chen' in the end is neutrum. i.e. das Brotchen (small bread), das Tischen (small table), das Stühlchen...

MC : That's easy.. just refer as everything as small.. then you can know the gender (neutrum) .. small person, small cake, small everything!

Me : One way to remember it!




There are a few more incidents that had happened.. mainly about class.. would love to blog about it.. tapi I cant really remember the details.. also other random stuff.. sigh.. rindu pulak nak berblog but I have lots of things to do right now... Biss später!!
