How’s Your BM?

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on How’s Your BM?

BM = Bahasa Malaysia = Bahasa Melayu.

No… I’m not here to debate the usage of Bahasa Malaysia or Bahasa Melayu in school subject. To me, they are both the same. Our national language. In short, I’ll just refer it as BM.

I used to have very good command of BM years back when I was in secondary school(more than 10 years back) but now… It’s quite rusty but the funny thing is that it can still be as good as it used to more than 10 years ago. My writing wasn’t good but speaking was good, even better than my English.

Nowadays, I can be very good in speaking BM if only when I’m in KL. If I’m in Kuching, my BM is pretty cacat.

I spoke fluent BM with no accent, similar to those Malay movies on TV when I was in KL. When I met a Malaysian stranger in KL, if I’m not sure what kind of language he/she used, I would automatically talk to him/her in BM but not here in Kuching.

In Kuching, it will be English automatically. I’m sure I’m not the only one that does this ;p During my previous KL trip, many taxi drivers were quite surprised that I’m from Sarawak, they said that I didn’t sound like one, they thought I’m local.

I remember that last time when I was in my first year college, my BM was still good since I had only left secondary school in less than two months, I went to a government department to ask about something, the officer actually asked me whether I’m from Semenanjung *LOL* I told him I’m pure breed Sarawakian, he was surprised, he told me my BM sounded very Semenanjung. Thanks to all those Malay dramas that I watched when I was young. Now? Hahaha… I just can’t open my mouth to speak in BM here, even if I did, it would sound extremely weird.

However, I have almost no clue of Bahasa Sarawak. Hehehe… I remembered I made a huge boo boo last time when a lady spoke to me in Bahasa Sarawak. She asked one thing, I answered another thing. She just said, “Oh…”, then left ;p I didn’t know until I left the place and my friends told me I gave the wrong respond earlier on hahaha…

How about you? How rusty is your BM now?

From My Angle

So Blur

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on So Blur

I’ve been pretty blur lately. It’s the second week of June already and I kept thinking it’s the first week of June.

Yesterday, I woke up in the morning, told myself that there would be a night class to attend. Then I forgot all about it after lunch. Went around doing my works as usual. I forgot all about the night class that would start in less than 2 hours. Then suddenly, I remembered again, I had a class to attend!

Today, another night class to attend. I almost forgot towards the afternoon. Later remembered it. Then, I forgot that exam is next week! I attended class and was thinking there’s still 2 weeks to exam until my course mates reminded me that this week is our final week to attend class and exam will be next week! ARG! I should have start my revision today! I was still thinking of starting my revision next week -.-”

So so so blur… Been pretty busy lately too so I am kind of lost track of many things.

Anyway, that’s all for night, trying to sleep early tonight while I can. Sleeping late is bad for health and beauty. *blek*

Wow Night

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Wow Night


After the buffet(it’s ongoing the whole night), I went to the poolside bar, Liquid. My first time there. Those who went could get free flow of food and drinks including beer by just paying RM100. Very worth it right?


Left: The other side of the swimming pool.

Right: The stage.


Performances by ChinaDolls. It was funny and entertaining.


Left: Some of the photos that I managed to take of the ChinaDolls performance.

Right: Hair show by hmm… I forgot from which hair academy. I didn’t pay attention ;p


Showcasing hair products from Ezo.


Also on-stage styling, didn’t take many photos, most turned out quite bad too due to my camera limitation.


The crew members of the hair show.


The main reason I was there was to collect the prizes that my friends and I had won that was organized by Wow Book. I had submitted the group photos of us for the contest. We won Loreal products worth RM800 and a photo shoot session with Alvin Leong.

See the products? We split them and guess what… I was not that lucky, we had our very own lucky draw to split the prizes. 8 of us splitting RM800 worth of products, you can imagine if you don’t use lucky draw. Everyone will fight over the HOT products hahaha… I got the products that I couldn’t use, all the aging range products, I gave to my mom. The only thing I could use was the eye shadow which was hidden in the photo. Not my luck. I wanted the bag and face masks(these were the HOT products ;p) but didn’t get them. Oh well… It’s OK… It’s just for fun, never thought we would win hahaha…

Thanks to the organizer for letting me attend this event for free 😉

Wow Night – Food Chapter

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on Wow Night – Food Chapter

Attended Wow Night last night which was organized by Malaysia Wow. It’s an interesting event. However, the entrance fee was a bit high. Then again… When you get free flow food and drinks(soft drinks and alcohol) with music by DJ Ian the whole night through, it’s really not that expensive. Com’on! Pay RM100 and you get free flow of alcohol! If you’re a drinker, I’m sure you will think that you’re in heaven but I’m not hahaha… I don’t drink. It was happening at Liquid, the poolside bar of Pullman Hotel, last night.


The food was served just outside the entrance of Liquid.

Be warned… HEAPS of Food ahead!

There were so many food and mind you…


What you see here are just some of them, I didn’t take photo of every single one of them.


Imagine how many food variety available there last night.


I didn’t get to try them all.


I went there early just to make sure I can take nicer photos of the food before too many people touch them and it will look all too messy to show you ;p


Also, it’s easier to take these photos without distracting others taking their food.


So many types of food.


Free flow of all of the food you see here and those that I didn’t take photos for the whole night.


I’m salivating now… How I wish I did try every single one of them.


Now… It’s dessert time!


Luckily a friend was there and we managed to try almost all of the desserts ;p


We took one each and we shared by splitting each of them into half.


The desserts were not so sweet.


I can’t stand sweet stuffs but these were not as sweet as it seemed.


Slurp…

I hope this post makes you hungry at this hour hahaha… Will update about the event tomorrow.

So… So… Vain (11)

Ok!!! I’m sure you will go “NOT AGAIN…” *LOL* Vain photos of me again. These were taken few hours ago before I headed out to WOW Night. I made a mistake, towards the night, my under eye wrinkles became so obvious because I tried to conceal my dark circles a bit too much -.-” Eeek… I was testing out the liquid foundation again which also one of problems that caused the lines to show. Will update about WOW Night tomorrow.

Finally, for the first time, somebody actually guessed my age correctly. That is freaky I tell you! Really cannot admit that I’m still young ;p Thanks to all the wrinkles that showed like no body business Hahaha…
