Fuss Over A Proverb

I read with much amusement one person's anger over a proverb mentioned by one of our most prominent national figures.  Obviously the person's anger was mainly due to his ignorance pertaining to the meaning that the proverb intends to convey (or perhaps he just refuses to admit that the prominent national figure is much better in English than he is?)

Not Serious About Trials! Seriously!

The SPM trial examination is just around the corner (this Monday 3/9/12, to be exact!) and form five students every where are busy doing their revisions and conducting group studies aside from burning the midnight oil.

Return To Routine

Star Q

i.  Terima Kasih Datang Beeraya

ii.  Lemon Squares

I'm not sorry to say that I may be one of the few people who do not enjoy long holidays; and to me the eleven-day Eid holiday was really long for me.  I actually find pleasure in short but fulfilling holidays, because one thing about long holidays, the longer you go on leave, the more you spend!

Dizzy Driver

Star Q

i.  Eid Mubarak

ii.  Beef Stew

There is always the case of a (carefree!) driver who parks however and wherever he (she) likes; and in this town, this sort of situation is not difficult to find.  Surprisingly (or not so surprisingly!)  there is ample parking space and the surrounding area is large enough for the driver to make a 90 degree turn and park like everyone else!

Of Cows and Their Owners!

It has often been reported in the media about cattle causing accidents on major roads.  A lot more have been said about what should be done and what steps the owners of these cattle should take to prevent further unnecessary accidents.  Today, unfortunately, one of those accidents involves a Form 6 student from here.

To Pray Or To Play?

Star Q

i.  Serah Tugas!

ii.   Tomato Provencal & Aglio Olio

We are nearing the end of this year's month of Ramadhan and the people going for Terawih prayers does show any sign of subsiding.  That is surely a good sign.  People, young and old, seem to be coming to this mosque without fail every night.

Add-on Holidays!

Star Q

ii.  School Students Or Under Grads?

It has taken me a long time to write about this holiday thing especially ones related to festivals, in particular Hari Raya holidays.  Don't get me wrong.  I love holidays and I think people would be bonkers not love them!  The only thing that gets to me is why ask for additional holidays to the already gazetted public holidays?

School Students Or Under Grads?

Star Q

i.  Lemon Curd Tarts

ii.  Cool Air At Last

This is a picture of a class on a regular school day at 9.00 in the morning.  It is an exam week and the paper at the time this picture was taken was Chinese and Tamil which ends at 9.40.  The following paper, which was Chemistry, was at 10.00 a.m.

What is so striking about this picture is, even though a majority of the students were in class, quite a few of them were not.  Not least because they did not take the two papers mentioned earlier since almost all the Malay girls (plus one boy!) were in class.  The problem is, what happened to the rest of the Malay boys?  

Defying Nature With Money

My blog is not a sensational one, but today I feel compelled to write about this very popular phenomenon and that is trying to turn back time where one's beauty is concerned.  It seems with the advent of modern cosmetics people (those with money of course!) are doing every thing they can to continue looking young and radiant.

The Shopping Spree Begins

Today's the fifteenth day of Ramadan and already you can see the shoppers are gearing up for the festivities. Malaysia is such a unique country such that when one part of the people celebrates a certain festival the rest of the nation will rush along together.  One example is our Hari Raya.  When the Malays' shopping frenzy get into fever pitch, the rest of the nation, the Chinese, Indians and the rest, follow suit and become embroiled in the festivities.
