kipas



Hot? hmmm. Sebab tu kipas dipasang. Macamtulah suhu di Malaysia. Panasnya membahang. Kalau tak mampu nak pasang air-cond, kenalah beli kipas. "kipas" dalam bahasa Inggeris dipanggil FAN. Fan juga membawa maksud 'peminat', singkatan daripada perkataan "FANatic". Pernah 'peminat setia' atau die hard fan diterjemahkan sebagai "kipas mati keras". Begitu juga dengan Kelab Peminat (fan club) disatirakan menjadi "Kelab kipas".

Begitulah seadanya...

Pak Lah




THIS OLD MAN prefers people to call him "Pak Lah". Just like what the kampung folks used to be called when their name is Abdullah or simply, Dollah. "Pak" means 'father' in Malay,( but in Indonesia, it means 'mister') it also means that he wants to be 'closer' and touch the heart of all Malaysian as a 'father', rather than a Prime Minister. At least, the UMNO people may think it that way. They were saying, never before a PM of this nation would allow himself to be known as 'Pak'. Not Pak Tunku, or Pak Razak or even Pak Hussein. Certainly not Pak Mahathir...(instead, he was also known as Cik Det by Kedahan).
On the other hand, Zunar, a controvercial political and editorial cartoonist has his own point of view. See how he interpreted 'father' through his satire published in Harakah while the issue of Khairy was much talked about.


Being a blogger


Bismillah...
Selawat and salam.
I've been thinking of having my own blog about two years ago after browsing thru' the net and found numerous blogs with various topics of different kind of interest.
The best thing I could do was only to post my view anonymously. I felt so good whenever there were feedback posted as response, especially when they agreed and respected my point of view.
I enjoyed reading all sort of ideas, journal, forum etc. I kept wondering how those bloggers managed to find time to report on their activities, daily routine, discussion on the talk of the town issues etc.
Then, I started asking myself, when am I going to have my own blog? When am I going to be a BLOGGER and be with the rest of the 'bolggers community? Come on, pick a title, create a concept, sell your ideas, tell the world what you are doing and good at. Start blogging!!
The second question quickly came to me, how long can my blog survive? Do I have time to update? Do I have enough material to post? Enough ideas to present? Uggghhh, forget it, I could never be a blogger!!!
