STBB: It's Up to How You Take It

See the noodles? It's Udon, which tastes just like my Fried Fettucine. Duh~

Premise #1

You're a guy in a cafe, sitting next to a table. You're in the mood of wearing a pink shirt. You're all by yourself.

Suddenly a guy that you know comes to you and says, "Hey, you look great in pink!"

You ask, "Is it a compliment or an offense?"

He answers, "It's up to how you take it"

You reply, "I take it as an offense!"

Verdict: Tak boleh buat kawan... Cakap macam tu pun dah terasa. Blah aaa!

Verdict: Haaa... kan best kalo semua orang berfikiran terbuka dan positif selalu.

First Time to Sushi King

Don't try this at the restaurant unless you got the guts!

About the video:

• The idea to put the camera on the lane came from seeing the moving sushi.
• If you could notice, at 0:07 this guy asked me: Ko biar betol? Because it was out of mind you know! Haha!
• In the first half of the route, no one in front of the camera did actually notice the presence of it on the moving lane (which was good because they behave naturally). It's a common thing that you can find in a restaurant: couples, family, and friends eating together.
• In the second half of the route, it's more dramatic! It's as if everything is planted: a guy feeds the ice cream into his mouth, workers clean the table, a father struggles to eat the sushi, cute children, customers type SMS while waiting the waiter and waiter takes an order from the customers. Everything is like an acting, because in life, we are actually playing our own role. They're all good actors and actresses.
  

Thanks Tantan and Nanad!!!

Maghi Kecek Kelate

Dio duo oghe ni, kembo maghi Kelate~

"Nur-mur sar-year Patrick. Sar-year dart-thung dar-ree USA. Sar-year bar-roo bur-lar-jar char-cup Mur-lar-you"

"Namo ambo Zaki. Ambo maghi Selangor. Ambo nok kecek kelate, bulih ko dok?"

What makes the difference between an international person who wants to learn bahasa Malaysia and a local people who wants to learn a dialect? On top of it, it's all about learning and practicing.

For some undescribable reason, I currently love to speak in Kelantanese dialect. Be it verbal or written, I am trying my best to learn that language. The dialect is so unique in a way it has it's own way of pronunciation and intonation.

I am silently quite pissed off when my effort to practice is being misunderstood, unappreciated, and underestimated. Note the word silently there, because for how and what ever people would react towards me when I speak Kelantanese dialect, I always smile. :-)

Can't we be more supportive? I'm learning through practice, people. Teach me, not insult me.

Visit from CFS Students

Maaf la dik... tak sempat nak kenal korang lama sket...

Ehem... Dalam ramai-ramai dalam gambar di atas, tiba-tiba terselit gambar kamu-tahu-siapa. :P

Confusion. That's the word to describe which one to choose: Biomedical Science or Biotechnology.

They are students from Center for Foundation Studies of IIUM located in Petaling Jaya who came to IIUM Kuantan Campus to get some ideas about what they can expect when they step forward being a degree students in this very campus.

When I asked: Who've made your mind to choose which course?

None that confidently raised their hands.

Other than that, there were 2 students came to see me personally and told me:

"Sebenarnye tak minat pun Biomed ke Biotek, nak buat camne eh?"

However, it was normal to me. They haven't decided and yet they came for the visit to see the seniors and get some ideas about the courses.

I think, I have made them a bit clearer about Biomedical Science, it's prospect and advantages. Thanks also to my friends who joined the Sharing Moment and the Exhibition. Your assistance really helped!

To juniors who'll come here, I would say "Welcome" in advance because I might not be seeing you since I'll be graduating soon. But, who knows we'll see again? *wink*

Ok. This video made me laugh out loud. Don't watch it.

Contest: The Answer

Contest closed!

This is the answer for the contest in the entry yesterday. No winner fortunately unfortunately. Anyway, thanks for those who tried to answer.

So, here's the answer:

Ini Zaki. Dia suka minum teh. Bila dia melatah, dia akan sebut babi 3 kali. Babi! Babi! Babi! Kitorang dah cakap jangan sebut lagi. Tapi Zaki tetap ulang sebut babi. Kitorang pun buat tak tahu je.

Zaki ni macam alien. Kejap kecek klate, kejap cakap utagha. Aku sakit telinga bila dengar. Bila tegur, dia buat tak tahu je. Ape aku nak buat...

Kah kah... Kelakar la zaki... Asal ko gembira...

Sekian...

In the description above, what I want to stress are these parts

1. Where a name of an animal is mentioned. It is actually the answer for the unanswered question about the level of my minor fit (read: melatah). Hehe...
2. My current hobbies: speaking the language other than my mother tongue (Husz, ko sakit telinga, ada aku kesah? :P). I'm planning to write a special entry about this.
   
3. The least; my drug is tea, and I prefer the iced one. Pergh! Sehari mesti sebungkus beb!
   

Don't try me, because I can't help it. :P

Contest: Unique YM Message - Wise Use of Emoticons

The above is a short story created by Husz about me through YM. I was honored to read that because i think it's not easy to write such a creative story by making use of the emoticons.

And I think, the above picture isn't really interesting since the emoticons cannot move. Here I put the story in HTML code, provided also by the author. Uh... terharu~

Husz: ini zaki

Husz: dia suka minum

Husz: bila dia

Husz: dia akan sebut tiga kali

Now here's the thrill of this entry. If you can translate the story above into a complete one by using words, you'll receive a special prize from me.

Hurry!

Statement Memang Bleh Blaah (SMBB)

If we have STBB, why shouldn't we have SMBB also? Hehe...

Scenario 1

I went for a breakfast at Pak Lah, treated by Kak Norma and Kak Mai, the staff of KOS last week. On the way back, they asked me:

Zaki bila last sekali balik ke rumah?

Saya dah sebulan tak balik kak~

Owh dah lama tak jumpa mak ayah la ni?

Takpe, kat Kuantan ni kan saya ada Kak Norma dan Kak Mai sebagai parents saya :-)

Scenario 2

I was inside the bathroom until suddenly I noticed the mak cik cleaner was going to clean the toilet. I immediately finished taking bath and got out of the toilet and I saw her struggling to wipe the floor.

Being pitiful, I compliment her:

Mak cik, mak cik bersihkan tandas ni, memang bersih la! Nak banding dengan mat bangla sebelum ni macam langit dengan bumi. Dia bukan bersihkan tandas, tapi main lap-lap je. Kulat-kulat semua bersepah. Tapi mak cik, buat kerja bagus. Saya suka dengan mak cik.

Terima kasih ye nak~

Scenario 3

It was a-friend-of mine's bad day. I was with him that day most of the time so I knew what happened to him that brought him towards feeling bad.

Late at night, I got an SMS from him:

Sorry pasal tarik muka tadi. Macam-macam masalah berlaku, dan kalo ko nak tahu aku memang susah nak lupakan masalah. Sorry sorry...

I replied:

It's ok. Sometimes we need to feel sad for we to know and appreciate what happiness is all about. It's theory of relativity. Normal la tu... Relax k...
