final exam paper statistic:
over n out! ;)

news flash:
fariza is officially bored and full with lotsa free time in her hands

write more and you will talk less.didn’t work for me :p
so here goes…i had quite a tussle with my last paper.but wth?! IT’s OVER.that is all matter to me right now.i can cry and be all frustrated,L8R.

so muharram lend me a book called ‘I AM MUSLIM’ by Dina Zaman.let me comment0 a bit about the book.as a malaysian reader,i enjoy it very much.fun writing i must say.but if let say anam(my americanize arabic friend) reads it,she will be damn confused about the story line.ala….the sentence will always have our famous slang lahh…

speaking about -lah,let me list down what anam and i had gone through in our conversation from the first day we met.me,as her BM teacher and she,as my american-english teacher.

1. she said that malaysian people ‘choke’ on every word that have K
    snek vs snack
    it is like mengaji…they have their own qalqalah and all.ours is down right simple

2. she pronounce mahkota as mahkuta

3. cehh-lahh….
    she got excited with this cehh… thing.she even use it everytime she talks to us
    "cehh-lahh…."

4. malaysian people are small aka short,that’s why they like to make everything short
    mahkota parade - mp
    mcdonald’s - McD (i swear to god she didn’t have a clue what it was ha ha )
    airconditioner - air-cond (but pure arab people use AC instead)
    jusco - jj

we always compare about everything.
about foods(food is always in my interest):
she told me that here,it is always small small small even McD is small.there,it is always large large large.big mac is like kiddie’s meal there.

about shoes:
everybody have different color of flip-flops that can match with their shalwar kameez

etcetera…etcetera…etcetera…

if i ever move out,i’m going to miss her
(im writing this here coz she didnt know about the existence of my blog! ;p i dont want to be all sappy about it hahaha~)

err .. comment little bit only about the book ? … and u commented about her lah usage ? I have a whole new version Why i am Muslim Written by myself .. interested ?

About Malaysian using the short term like mp for mahkota parade and others , its not completely true .. i think only malaccan does that , cos here we have very little buildings around with same Capital letters !
