No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and.... No. That is NOT it.

"What does this mean?"
Language. One thing that is potentially the smartest thing ever created. However, is it complete? I wonder.

Tell me moreeee!!



Chill dude. Well, I'm a Malaysian and we Malaysian speak Malay. We use the English alphabet however. But without being biased, I think my language is pretty cool. This is because we have slang language, we use it far more frequently than the 'book language' or so we say it. 'Book language' means the real real language written in the Malay language text books and so on. Which, sounds cool when you type it but sounds a bit weird when you pronounce it. So with this slang language that we have, we have a lot of directly translated words or words that are not entirely correctly translated but still deliver the meaning of the word.


A few examples that I'm interested in is 'Geli'. This word have two meanings. One is ticklish, and another one is the feeling of disgust, or some sort. See? Even I can't really translate it that well. My little brother once asked me, "What does 'Geli' mean in English?" he said. I took a moment to think, then replied with a facial expression topped by "Eww!". See?
For me and most Malaysians that seems to be the most precise way to describe that word and whenever I say that, people would go 'Geli' is disgusted 'lah'! Then I would say "No, disgusted is more like..." I paused. Then continued, "Ee!" again, with a facial expression of disgust


But I definitely can't say all that if this is to be asked in an examination can I? So at the end of the day I had to settle with disgust even though it disgusts me to think that 'Geli'  means disgust...

Perceiving Unpredictable Events, Focusing A Lot on Relationships.

Those were the exact phrase that Yozs told me to write about. So here it is. I will write about perceiving unpredictable events, focusing a lot on relationships. Honestly, I don't know what I am to talk about but here goes nothing. 

So in this life, there are a lot of unknowns. The big ifs. This sucks. I mean, honestly, I would love to know everything that's going to happen to me so I can at least plan on what to do next or what to do when something happens to me. But now that I need to focus a lot on relationships, there are smaller ifs but still, it is a huge number which again, sucks.
So similar, yet so different. This symbolizes differences.
Sorry to interrupt, but what do you mean? I am not getting what you're trying to say here.

Patience is key Mister Narrator. I am about to elaborate. I think. This is hard because I honestly don't know what Yozs wants. He talked about 'Plausible' and 'Plausibly'. Haha I really don't know what he meant when he said "Is it plausibly her?" But he seemed to think that it was something cool and stuff. But I am trying to talk about how things can get really unpredictable in a relationship. One of them, in my opinion is everything that differentiate between the man and the woman. I am not saying that every differences bring about the worse in a relationship because at times, it is differences between the two that molds them together.

Sometimes, when we do not talk about each other for long enough with each other, we would not know what they other person are like in reality. Much like when you look down into a pond of water. You see everything that are on the surface, but you don't see what's beneath the surface. Get what I mean? When you don't know what the other person is like, the chances for an unpredictable event to occur is higher. So my advice to you would be learn about your partner or don't get a partner if you can't do that. We don't need more broken hearted people in this world. There are enough sad people living in this planet. I can't bear to see more of them.

As Yozs mentioned, (probably the first thing I agree with Yozs) we should not give others false hope. Because false hope can really kill someone. It can really break someone dearly. But how to perceive all this? We should see it as something that is negative. It is not a good thing and never is. So why do it? Why do it to others? Some people believe in karma, and according to karma, good things are rewarded with good things and vice versa. So if you do good deeds, you get people doing good deeds to you.

That is really all I can say about this. I literally worked my brain out until I get a little headache for this post. Seriously. Not joking this time. I am saying this with full seriousness. 

Okay maybe a little joke just to make you guys smile a bit. :)

Babai all! Until next time!

Er, thanks Shazzy. But I still don't understand why you wrote this. Perhaps Yozs is to blame? It sure seems like it.

You bet Mister Narrator. :)
