Saya ketinggalan bas, jadi ini untuk mengisi masa lapang.

Pada ketika ini saya berada di surau office. Hasrat di hati nak balik naik bas jam 220 tadi, tapi apakan daya, setelah menunggu sampai 240 tiada bas mahupun van langsung.

Terpaksa pasrah.

Lalu saya pun naik semula ke atas dan pergi solat isyak. Nak solat terawih, takut terlepas the next bus pulak.

Tak pasal2 kena pasrah lagi.

Ni kalau kul 320 takde bas gak... sahur kat padi la nampaknya.

(Tiada niat nak menunjuk2 di sini, sila jangan salah faham. Wassalam.)

Swift do what swift does.

Am trying hard not to buy that keyboard. Reason being me not be able to use my PayPal to pay. Le sigh.

Perjalanan Pulang.

Ngantuk. Tapi takleh tido.

Memblog dari sitri

(yes I'll call this thing sitri from now on)

I've lost count how many times I wanted to blog recently. There's a lot of things on my mind. But then it seems like I do not have the time to arrange my words properly, due to the lack of time partly, and the lack of enthusiasm mostly. Ah well.

Ramadan is approaching, just around the corner. But somehow I don't think I'm as excited as before. Most probably caused by the hectic months faced previously, and the sloppy new sitting arrangements contribute to this largely. Up til now, I still have not got my telephone extension. Which is very <i>great</i>.

Sigh.

Only two days back I was (this) much inclined to draft my resignation letter, but then I thought about my commitments and I regressed.

Sigh.

Oklah. I'm already halfway on my journey to Cyberjaya. Gonna take a short nap before reaching the office.

Membakar Kelambu

Because I was mad at someone (and also myself), I have resorted to opt out the social media where I have most friends, because, apparently, I should not and have no point having them all.

Lepas ni kalau kena kacau dengan nyamuk lagi, maybe i'll opt out twitter? I don't really have that many friends on twitter pun... entahlah.

Makin tua makin emosi aku ni.

I am the frog who refuses to get out of my coconut shell.

Weekend baru ni kan pegi Kedah for majlis Cia belah lelaki pulak. I dunno, maybe because I was too tired or not enough sleep, petang Sabtu tu aku pi bantai tidur instead of following mom to Pekan Rabu yang sangat hampir dengan hotel. And the next morning pulak lepas breakfast pi sambung tidur sampai masa untuk berkemas dan checkout.

Bila dah balik rumah, baru terasa macam loser. I mean, I was geared up with my digihari and should take the opportunity to grab some pics for my tumblr updates.

Instead, it seems like sleep is much more important to me. Aigoo. I am thirty plus YO, and I think I should see the world more before it's too late, don't you think?

Can somebody take me away please?

Humpty Dumpty Had A Great Fall

Photo via http://anticap.wordpress.com/

Had a dream this afternoon. I was inside a bus when suddenly I was suspended in the air for a short while and had a free fall. It was an earthquake. What happened afterwards was what you normally see in the movies.

But the feeling of the suspension and the free fall was real.

Zombi Kopi

(masa buat benda alah ni, tgh bosan and sangap and mengantuk, and nak minum kopi sangat2 di opis hinsssssss saje post kat tumblr gak :P)

ZOMBI KOPI

Pagi petang siang malam
Kopi kopi kopi
Sampai muka pun dah naik hitam
Bagai zombi kopi

Katakan sahaja
Nescafe?
Indocafe?
Kopi putih OldTown?
Aik Cheong?
Kopi vending machine murahan juga dibedal
(Cuma bolehkah terjadi
jika minum kopi putih
muka jadi putih?
Hm.)

Tiada kopi enak - marah
Tiada air panas - marah
Tiada gula dan krimer - marah
Oops, gariskan marah pada air panas
Tiada air panas - meletup

Pagi petang siang malam
Ketagih kopi
Namun, ia lebih bagus daripada
Ketagih rokok
Ketagih maksiat
Ketagih dosa

Tak mengapalah jadi zombi kopi

I have another 3 minutes of time-off.

In the mood for Jay Park's song in Rooftop Prince.

It has been a challenging month, last April. Lots of things happened in one go. Most of them are ridiculous, to keep the story short: having to layan a big baby with an enormous tantrum ever. Sigh. No more layaning that person ever again. Buang masa dan buang tenaga. Baik aku layan Rooftop Prince.

Sekarang ni jam 1:26am. Duduk kat bus stop depan opis, semata2 nak download. Bukannya tak boleh nak kejar bas 1:20am tadi, tapi oleh kerana dah bawak Gary ni, duduk la kejap mendunlut. Begitulah nasib orang yang menggunakan talian tenet super slow kat rumah. Sigh. Orang unifi ni kata nak masuk hujung bulan 1, ni dah masuk bulan 4 pun tak masuk2 lagi. Gaban giler okey.

Agenda untuk bulan ni... oh baru teringat, hari ini ialah hari kelahiran saya dalam bulan Hijriah. Dan lima hari lagi pula hari jadi bulan Masihi muhehehehe. Saje je nak jadi random.

So agenda untuk bulan ini, selain daripada membuat translasi... tak de kot. Cuma terasa sejak membuat sub untuk Attic Prince ni, tak de la rasa di hujung nyawa nak mengejar deadline. Mungkin sebab banyak ayat yang berulang2, dan juga sebab jalan cerita dia bes...

Hmm apa lagi.

Ada la jugak terasa nak duk rumah Puncak Alam sana (RUMAH UNTUK DISEWA - SILA TINGGALKAN INFO DI RUANG KOMEN), tapi memandangkan nak buat trans ni perlu ada google dan site DBP untuk rujukan, maka terpaksalah membatalkan hasrat buat masa ini. Sigh.

Seriously, I don't know what to blog. There are no significant events that I want to share publicly, jadi itu menyumbang kepada bloggers' block sekarang ni. Huhuhuhu.

Entry ni sekadar untuk cukup syarat (dan mengiklan RUMAH PUNCAK ALAM UNTUK DISEWA whuuhuhwuhuwhuwuh.)

Breaking the Norm.

iTunes playin' UUU by Wheesung

No, actually taking a break from translating.

It was a hectic month, March was. Mostly because of the wedding held for my sisters. Lots of thing happened, one of it would be one of the celebrated sisters warded due to bacteria infection. Agak sedih la, knowing how much she had spent - money, energy and time - for her wedding to go well. Hmm, takpelah, dah takdir Allah nak jadi macam tu. I won't story much about the wedding, apart from the event went for 3 days straight. Penatnya sampai sekarang tak sudah. And I did not have the heart to speak back to Mum yang expects me to do every housework all by myself, now there's no one else at home. Cukuplah kan pasal tu. Buat penat je nak fikir. All I know I have to be stronger now.

Apart from the wedding, it was also tiring since I had to back up one of my colleague. Masalahnye bukan the backing up, but another back up. Let's just say that back up did not live up to the words and promises made - in other words, agak menyusahkan aku jugak la. And also kisah sistem buat pasal big time pulak. Penat. Penat bangat.

Hopefully April this year will bring many happiness to me and the people around me.

Welcome, April, to my embrace.

Like, Whatever.

"The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off." - by someone I follow in Twitter

I just can't help thinking about something someone said to me when I mengumpat someone we both know when I thought of a close friend of mine suddenly while reminiscing something funny that my close friend would do.

So on that day, I mengumpat to that someone (B) about that someone we know (A), saying this that this that (well you should know how an umpatan goes, aduh banyaknye daging busuk yang saya makan huhuhuh) and then I said something about A was being too... annoyingly spoilt.

Then B suddenly said, "You cannot simply judge people. It's actually because of he upbringing that A becomes like that. You know, A was *like this like that* by her parents, that is why A is like that now. A cannot help it if it turns out like that."

B was defending A's behaviour badly, said that was not A's choice to be like that. B also made a reference to her own parents, who B claimed made her life super miserable now.

If it's not because B was so persistent that I couldn't even give my rebuttal, I've surely gave her a piece of my mind.

You see, I beg to differ slightly.

Yes, it is true that parents do influence their child's behaviour in a way or another. You can feel it in your own self. Whether they influenced you in a good way or in a bad way.

But that should not be the reason why your attitude sucks at this age. As you become older, you should become wiser, knowing what's wrong or right by yourself. You can change yourself to what you want to be. Your bad behaviours, being said which were influenced by your parents, should be able to be fixed by you yourself.

Do not, ever, fully blame your parents of how ugly your behaviour now. No matter how much you hate them.

If you think it's ugly, fix it. Change it and tailor it to what you want it to be. Put some botox or whatever enhanced surgery if you want.

The main thing is have some respect for your parents. They're the ones made you see the world. Even if they disown you, that does not erase the fact that you have their DNA in your stinking blood, you ungrateful bag of filthy flesh.

And it seems like you are a better expert in judging people (in this case, their parents). But then, whatever.

Mana Firaun Pakai Sultan...

Henpon playin' Uri Chigeum Manna (Let's Meet Now) by Leessang. Sangat sesuwei dengan waktu ini. Maksudnye marilah solat sekarang. Sebab dah Subuh.

Ni la... nak habaq mai pasal sorang fir'aun yang juga hamba Allah tapi tak sedar diri. Ada la sorang sohabat dia ni, membuat pasal, yang tak pasal2 aku jugak terlibat dengan sengaja. Bukan aku sengaja nak melibatkan diri, tapi sebab sohabat fir'aun ni juga tergolong dalam golongan hamba Allah yang tak sedar diri, maka dia pun membabitkan aku supaya menjadi rela dalam paksa.

Anyways nak jadikan cerita, si fir'aun ni pun mengadu kat aku pasal sohabat dia yang sorang ni, and I was like, what?? Aku hengat dia akan defend kemain la sohabat dia sorang ni, ghopenye dia pun tawa dalam tangisan jugak. Adey la. Payah kan kalau status bersohabat tu. Karang kalau sound depan2 ambik hati pulak. Dah la sohabat dia ni memang jenis kuat terasa. Nak jaga hati sohabat punye pasal, jadilah fir'aun tu tawa dalam tangisan.

So aku pun dengan halusnye memberi smekdaun sikit pada fir'aun tu. Kasi dia sedar diri sikit supaya tidak jadi sama level dengan sohabat dia yang agak keji jugak la.

Selepas itu sang kancil pun beramai-ramai pergi mengadap sultan fir'aun. Mana fir'aun pakai sultan.. ntah.

Eh ape da mengarut.

The Other Missing Segments.

There will be no other segments for my trip to Korea. None.

Reasons:
1. Dah tak ingat dia nye points yang nak disampaikan dalam Segment 2, 3 dsb.
2. Tenet buat pasal. Tensen la nak taip kalau asyik2 putus je. Ni dah kena gigit tikus kabel ni, lagi la tensen. In fact, I still have one entry in draft mode re kehilangan myKad. Bes cite tu. Tapi, tu lah, tenet buat pasal.
3. Dah tak de mood.

Cerita tenet menyakitkan hati.

Satu malam lepas balik keje... takleh connect langsung ke tenet. Bila sambungkan line telepon yang ada pada modem ni kepada telepon yang ada dalam bilik ni, telepon tu tak menyala.

Turun bawah. Tengok cable. Ok je. Tapi bila angkat telepon kat bawah (which is the main telephone in this house) lampu tak menyala gak. Takde dial tone. Langsung.

Cek balik cable.

Kena gigit tikus??????

Yes, I am still learning Colemak. Quite an adventure, it is.

Ok la. Saje menaip ni. Sebab nak kena caj Gary ni ha. Lepas tu oleh sebab dah lama tak menaip kat sini dengan tidak memandang keyboard, maka banyaklah kesilapan huhuhuhuh.

2. Berjaya tonton Baker King Kim Tak Goo... one of the dramas which I did not press the speed button... rasa macam everything in every scene perlu ditonton betul2 wooheeeee
3. Berjaya menghabiskan novel BM setebal 3 inci... dalam masa yang agak singkat.
4. Berjaya beli buku2 dalam siri No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency

Okay I'm Pissed.

Tak suka betul!
Cerita dah sedap. Memang layannn la bila tengok. Sampai tak sabar2 nak promote kat orang. Tapi tiba2 dah dekat2 episod akhir ada twist yang tak perlu kot??? dan menyakitkan hati.

Dulu biasanya kena terminal illness. Dan selalunye pertengahan cerita dah kasitau. So macam boleh jugak la nak terima... sebab mesti di belakang2 tu ada kaitan.

Tapi sekarang? Macam semata2 nak kasi penuh kuota episod, sumbat jalan cerita tahpape at the end? At the final 2 episodes? Ok tak de la tahpape, tapi macam kalau tak de twist tu mungkin akan membuat cerita tu lebih berbaloi untuk ditonton semula?

Contohnye Heartstrings ni. I love the drama up til diorang habis musical. Tapi tetiba pada episod last-last ni...
- hero sakit tangan, takleh main gitar lagi.
- Lepas tu heroin dapat peluang gi overseas untuk belajar musical.
- Lepas tu hero sorok sakit dia sebab taknak kasi heroin risau.
- Lepas tu heroin tau hero sakit tangan dan menolak peluang untuk ke oversea dan kasitau hero.
- Dan hero ni anggap sendiri sebagai penghalang, jadi suggest breaking up.
- Dan blah.
- Tapi sempat pulak heroin tu grab tangan yang sakit tu, tapi hero tak de pulak terasa sakit.
- Pastu heroin ni kecewa kena berpisah, ambik balik peluang pergi overseas sambil rasa sedih.
- Setahun lepas tu heroin pun balik dari overseas.
- Hero lak dah boleh main gitar balik.
- Lepas tu heroin pun tau kisah sebenar kenapa hero nak break off.
- Lepas tu hero kena marah dengan heroin.
- Lepas tu flashbacks.
- Then finally bersama kembali.

ARGHHHHH!!!! Sibbaikla 10 minit terakhir tu saya suka. Tapi still spoil jugak sebab twist yang tak perlu tu.

Dan juga nasib baik la tak de jadi cam ni lepas heroin tau kisah sebenar:

- Lepas tu jadi balik scene macam diorang memula jumpa.
- Lepas tu fall in love again.

Malas nak fikir ending apa yang appropriate.

But then ending yang ni tak de la ngek macam 49 Days. Tu memang ngek, sampai tak sampai hati nak kutuk kat sini, sebab I like the storyline so much APART FROM THE ENDING. Macam, eh? Adik beradik ke? Eh? Boipren ke? Eh? Anak makcik tu ke? Eh? (Yes, too many 'EH?'s.)

Tatkala ini aku berada di Tutti Frutti Wangsa Maju. Menonton MTV sementara menunggu download siap. Tak de la tunggu sampai semua siap, satu je siap pun dah cukup. Tensen dengan internet di rumah. On the way nak datang sini tadi ternampak dua jejaka duduk di bawah payung unifi di depan jalan utama masuk ke taman, tanye la dia kejap bila masa unifi nak masuk ke taman perumahan. Salah seorang dari mereka cakap dah masuk dah semalam. Semalam??? Haisy. Harap2 dalam masa terdekat ni akan dengar la khabar berita yang baik.

Tadi masa sampai, semasa baru on Gary ni, adekku keluar kejap. Kenapa tah, tak tau la. Bukannye pergi merokok sebab adikku memang tidak merokok. Bila masuk balik, dia cakap ada gerhana bulan di luar. Astaga. Tak tahu menahu pun ada gerhana. Selalu ibu cakap, so that boleh buat solat sunat or any ibadah lain. Terlepas lagi peluang untuk tahun ini.

Kalaulah tenetku tidak buat pasal.

Live From Doha International Airport

Dalam perjalanan nak ke London ni untuk business trip, transit kat Doha. Masa nak sampai Doha tadi, nampak desert je dari atas plane - new flight experience ni! Ye lah, kat tempat lain nampak ijau je kan... :D

Tadi dalam flight tidur 2 jam je. Tu pun lepas sejam kena bangun untuk makan, sejam lebih la jugak berjaga sebab sambil tgk movie bertajuk Quick.

Transfer and Departure nye tpt ni agak kecik, mungkin sebab dia tak bersambung terus ngan main airport hall tu. Barangan duty free dia lebih kurang harga M'sia gak.

Tapi harga makanan kat sini... hmm... boleh nak kata agak mahal. Set burger ayam dengan fries & soft drink rm45 (orang dah kata jangan convert! haisy). Portion besar pun tak leh nak justify kenapa diorang mark up begitu.

Hmm rasanya tu jela for now... sebab mengantuk gile. Ni taip pun sebab alang2 tgh caj Gary-cchi maka buat je la sesuatu on it kan :D

Menuntut ilmu tekun dan usaha
Hadapi cabaran tabah di jiwa
Bangunlah puteri bangun

Majulah puteri maju
Bina bangsa dan negara
Cabaran hadapi dengan tabah
Hidup berpandu rukun negara
Ke hadrat Allah kita berserah
Tentu berjaya jika berusaha
Bangunlah puteri bangun
Harumkan nama sekolah
Majulah puteri maju

He Broke My Heart Yet Again.

He broke my heart several times before.

1. When I know he had a girlfriend.
2. When he married her.
3. When I know he married her sebab kena tangkap basah.

For that third time, actually there was a slight relief inside of me because he actually took responsibility to marry her, and I did wish the best for them. From what I heard, he -being a kind person- and she -who I don't really know even up til now-, both of them didn't do anything other than just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. And I really wanted to believe that, but even so I didn't really want to see her face everytime they stop by my house to visit my parents.

(Yes, they're relatives of mine.)

This morning when I woke up, I heard sound of kids playing around with my dad. Then my big lil bro came up and said this guy's wife is downstairs. Made a smug face, no effort to go down and greet them.

After an hour or so, I felt bored so I went downstairs, only to see that they've left. Mum was clearing up the dining table, so I asked her then,

dB: Sape datang?
Mum: Bini abang A.
dB: Oh, bini dia je? *smug face*
Mum: Ha'ah. Kesian ye dia... dah cerai..talak tiga.

I was shocked. Totally. I don't know why but somehow I felt betrayed. And heartbroken yet again.

I was itching to know the real story, and still am now. I don't know whose fault it was, because from the way Mum's talked, I sensed that he's the rotten apple. I felt sorry for the ex, eventhough I don't really like her before.

Heartbroken yet again for knowing (or more to assuming) that he's like that.

Boy, you don't know how mighty sangap I am.

Nasib baik la minggu baru lepas ni testing compressed shift, so macam bila sampai rumah still tak de banyak yang boleh buat selain dari cek emel sebelum tido.

Tapi... tak tau la apa nasib minggu ni. Harap-harap akan busy la dengan sesi kemas mengemas.

My Right Knee Hurts

On last Friday I woke up late. Since dah cakap nak kena buat compressed shift which means I'mma stay back until 2am, so takkan la nak masuk lambat by taking the bus kan? So nak tanak kena la drive, to be in the office by such and such time.

When I got into my car, the sky was nearly dark - the sign for heavy rain to come. I don't like driving in heavy rain. Mostly because of my weak eyesight and the condition of my car. Kalau aku bawak kete baru, lain cite kot? Muhahahaha.

Burst Out: Attitude Problem Ajumma

Firstly thanks for the people who were concerned with a tweet of mine which contains the word 'burst out'.

Yes, I did burst out that day. And no, it's nothing to do with work.

Some thoughts before i go to sleep

(Ya Allah payohnye nak menaip ni on the ipad sambil baring. Budak ni pulak tak pakai spellcheck/dictionary... So tak de autocorrect la pulak...)

Semalam semasa pulang semula ke opis, lupa pulak nak bawak telekung. Oleh kerana telekung tu belum basuh pun, so rasenye malas pulak nak bawak hari ni. Jadi sebelum tutup lampu tadi mencarik la telekung kaler brown yang adik Wafi belikan masa dia pergi Bandung dulu.

Bila dah letak siap2 atas meja mekap, tiba2 terfikir sesuatu.

Telekung dipakai bukankah untuk menutup aurat semasa membuat ibadah? Kalau nak beribadah, bukankah mahu khusyuk? Jadi apekah point untuk memakai telekung kaler-kaler? Apakah juga motif buat telekung kaler-kaler ni? Adakah untuk menarik perhatian fashionista untuk beribadah? 

Apakah perlu pedulik khusyuk sendiri tanpa pedulik orang lain pun nak khusyuk jugak?

Ada sekali tu di surau ofis, seseorang ni pakai telekung yang labuh sampai tapak kaki kaler merah. Gile distracting. Terasa macam ada makhluk paranormal yang berdiri kat situ.

Cantik memang cantik kak. Tapi... Kalau sampai orang lain tak khyusuk tu...

Sekarang berbalik kepada teleks yg adik Wafi belikan ni. Dilema pulak. Kena solat time tak ramai la kot. Dan kena pulak duk kat baris saf belakang. Kalau depan takut distract kot. Tapi kalau belakang pun takut distract jugak. 

Ke aku sorang je yang rasa sebegini?

Bawak je la kan. Kalau rase conscious nanti, pakai la yg wakaf surau punye.

Hachoooommm!

In the mood for doing nothing.

Penat dah mengemas. Mana taknye, hari terakhir puasa baru nak mengemas. Tu pun tak abis kemas lagi ni... Banyak sangat barang! 3 tahun tak kemas (ouch).

Sedang sedap2 mengemas tadi, semasa nak alih bantal yang letak kat tepi ni (in case of relatives/friends spend overnight here), tetiba diari lama aku pun terjatuh dari celah bantal. Lupa sangat aku simpan kat situ, patut la mencarik2 selama ni tak jumpa2! Lalu dah jumpa tu nengok la kejap...

First entry je buat aku blur. Bila masa tah aku bercinta ni? And knowing me, if I put it down in my diary, I won't have it posted online. So buat aku bertambah blur! Nengok pulak post seterusnya... 2 days after. Saw two familiar names. Now I can recall the setting... but I still can't recall the guy!

Dah tanda penuaan ni. Lupa bagai.

Tapi entry yang terakhir buat aku ketawa sendiri. Apa? Projek 80? Projek 70? Sekuk weetameel? Air milo opis? Kek? (I'll leave these to your imagination.)

But then, now that I saw the entry again... I think I'mma start it very soon. Right after raya kedua. Nak tengok azam kuat ke tak. Silver8 pun ada ni! Berusaha!

Ok. Dah.

So hari ini terpaksalah aku menempuh hari penuh bersin. And maybe that was the real reason in my subconscious mind - supaya tak tempuh hari berpuasa dengan hidung yang berlari. Bagus jugak kepala otak aku ni hahaha.

In the mood for Shut Up! by U-Kiss

Balik keje tadi, selepas menghantar Maziah balik ke rumahnya melalui jalan yang lebih senang dari menggunakan jalan ke KL untuk ke Ampang Point, terasa seperti nak makan McD. Tak kisah la GCB ke Filet O Fish ke. Tapi nak McD.

Bila dah sampai dekat2 simpang masuk ke jalan senang nak gi McD, tetiba tukar fikiran, Makan KFC pun bes gak. So pergi la KFC yang dekat BBA itu.

Kepala dah terbayang Colonel burger yang double tu. Macam bes. Tapi bila sampai kat kaunter, gatal mintak Xmeal.

Pastu cashier tu pun cakap, ayam tinggal yang spicy je. Alamak! Sudah merasa sedikit kureng sebab kurang minat ayam spicy KFC. Tapi sebab terasa nak makan ayam so beli la jugak.

Sampai rumah, sekali tengok.. ada sate. Ngek. Selalu macam ni. Andainya aku tahu ada sate kat rumah, tak de la aku beli ayam spicy tu.

Tapi since dah beli, maka aku ngap jugak la. Sebab seketul je. Nanti kalau tinggalkan untuk semua olang time sahur, rasa tak fair pulak sebab seketul je.

Lepas makan ayam spicy tu, sakit kepala akibat minyak. Ntah-ntah sebab tapak kasut. Ngek. Padan muka, nak beli sangat.

I have a translation due 9am today but I don't care because I want to post this.

Jamming to Be Mine by Infinite.



I've been listening to K-pop since 12 years ago. This length of time also includes my sibs, meaning my youngest sister who is now 20 years old have been a seonbae to you people who just started listening to Kpop and think SuJu or TVXQ or Big Bang is the best in the world and no one can compete with them at all.

But that's not the story I'm telling today.

On the bus on my way to work.

Typing on Gary right now. Sebenarnya tengah buat translation, tapi ada translator's block pulak. Ingat senang ke nak buat translasi without any dictionary or references? Bas ni pulak, konon la ada wifi. Beriye2 pulak hari tu cakap itu semua ada masa memula nak tukar bas. Sigh.

Pakcik ni guna jalan jauh la pulak. Aku ni dah la sakit perut pulak tetiba. Sigh. Hopefully dapat bertahan la sampai ke office :D

Ok back on the track. Actually am typing this because I do realise my lack of posts. Am not trying to give excuses, but really the main reason should be this work lah. Sungguh, I do have lots to blog before, but everytime I'mma start I will automatically think of translating. And then terus lupa apa nak blog.

Also, sebab I don't really prefer to type in my iPod due to its small screen; nak kena banyak scroll. So, dengan adanya Gary ni dapat lah aku memblog bila tengah alami translator's block.

Selalunya kalau aku tak tido dalam bas, I will busy playing games while listening to music; which also contributes to the lack of posts. Someone told me to taip je la from my iPod, but then when you have the source of something fun you'd be inclined to do that, no?

Guess this is enough for now. Gotta do what I gotta do.

Translasi.

iTunes playin' by In the mood for Roly Poly by T-ara (ntah sampai bila la tak tau la)
Malas pulak nak update blog. Tapi lagi malas nak sambung buat translasi. Dan dah malas pulak nak main games. Lagi2 on iPod. Jadi... update je la.

Cakap pasal keje translasi ni, woohoooo invoice dah hantar. Takat USD60 tu, ape la sangat. Tapi seronok jugak dapat. Tu yang membuak2 nak membuat translasi lagi walaupun dah maklum awal bulan sangat packed.

Oh kalau anda tertanya2 apakah jenis translasi yang saya lakukan - translate english to BM for Korean TV shows. Amacam?

Buat translasi ni bukan susah sangat pun sebenarnye. Yang penting, trans in English perlu ada dulu. Kemudian, perlu faham culture dan intonasi yang digunakan dalam rancangan tersebut. Bila dah lengkap semua tu, baru boleh jalankan tugas dengan bersungguh-sungguh.

Satu je yang kurang best kalau buat mende alah ni. Sebab perkataan BM kan mostly panjang2, so kadang2 tensen la jugak camna nak pendekkannya dan dalam pada masa yang sama nak kasi makna dia tak lari. Contohnya

English: Don't you know that I love you?
Tapi BM: Awak tak tahukah yang saya cintakan awak?

Kalau makna dia dah bulat2 macam tu, payah la jugak nak pendekkan. Jadi dalam situasi ini video dia boleh membantu. Katakanlah watak dalam vid tu cakap:

Saranghae, molla?

So boleh la nak pendekkan BM trans jadi:

Saya cintakan awak, tak tahu kah?

Makna still tak lari. Gitu lah.

Hah lepas tu, lepas buat 2 episod ni, aku rasa skill menaip aku dah bertambah baik ngeeeee dah tak perlu sangat nak nengok keyboard selalu. Meaning aku leh taip sambil nengok monitor most of the time la, error rate kurang dah MUAHAHAHAHAH (but then I realised that it is still limited to freestyle words, dan bukan keje2 formal huhuhuh)

Wokeh la dah lambat dah ni. Esok ni busy satu hari, takut tak sempat pulak nak kejar deadline Selasa ni huhuhuu.

Not-So-Express Lane

In the mood for Roly Poly by T-ara (lagi!)

Selalu bila aku beli beberapa barangan yang jumlahnye kurang dari 10, tentu la nak bayar kat express lane kan. Sah2 la tanak beratur panjang semata2 nak bayar roti Gardenia sebungkus dan air Pulpy orange sebotol.

Tapi sah2 tensen kalau ade jugak orang yang tak reti bahasa, barang over limit, beratur kat express lane.

It's either diorang ni tak pandai baca, tak pandai kira, atau simply bangang.

Kalau ikut rasa hati, nak je sound. Tapi sebab
1. considerate la jugak sebab line lain pun panjang dan dia pun dah masuk line tu, and
2. malas nak gaduh,
so selalunye sound dalam hati la.

Tapi kot ye pun, cashier tak boleh ke nak sound orang tu? Aku rasa aku pernah encounter sekali je, kat KL, cashier tu sound sorang ni sebab barang lebih dari limit. Memang tabik tul ngan dia.

Aku rase kan, patut kedai2 yang ada express lane ni enforcekan syarat ni: satu barang exceed limit, caj rm0.20. Orang Malaysia ni kan semua berkira, mesti makin lama makin kurang. Lepas tu kalau still ada orang degil, naikkan je jadi rm0.50. Hambek kau. Beli jajan Mamee elok2 rm0.30 sebungkus jadi rm0.80. Bengkek ada?

Ni yang nak hantar cadangan kat local newspaper ni.
