Many things but could not move the thoughts into this frame ... among others ...
1. June 6, Husband finally got an old car for himself and passed on the auto which is lighter and easier to me ... so goodbye taxis for a long long time I hope ...
2. Dearest Hajjah R and Husband Haji S from Brunei came for a course ... alhamduLiLLAH so thankful for such dear friends in this short and challenging life ...
3. After a long time again I met Pak Cik in front of the Bank ...Why we as a nation cannot sort this sad situation out ... is it help ... is it enforcement ... what is it that is required ... Husband would say to me that I am not the mayor of the city ...
4. Met a sweet Chinese girl in KFC today, pusing-pusing* while waiting for her mother in queue. She was in Baju Kurung*. I am drawn to this because a few days ago our newspapers highlighted some state executives and councillors refused to wear the traditional uniform that reflects the local culture ... they stated their reasons of course but ...
Anyway back to this girl, "Adik sekolah di mana?" I asked ... Seri Puteri she said. Oh ramai kawan Melayu di sana ye? I tanya lagi ... Yes, majority ... she said. Uniform baju kurung ke? I asked again. She nodded, ye baju kurung and also pinnafore pun boleh ... Tapi adik suka Baju Kurung ye? I enquired ... Ye she nodded smilingly ...
Without sounding like a mayor ... I would say that this country is perfectly alright for the under 12. Beyond that we start to have our self vision of Malaysia ...just compare the behaviour of the State Executives and Councillors with that of this sweet Chinese girl ...
Translation:
1. Baju Kurung - a common dress worn by the Malay women of Malaysia. A traditional dress.Cheong Sam - traditional dress of Chinese women; Sari - traditional dress of Indian women.
2. Pusing-pusing - going here and there, keeping oneself busy without any specific purpose. Literally, pusing -round; pusing-pusing is round and round.
3. Adik sekolah di mana - Which school do you go to? Adik is a common way to address the younger ones. Adik - younger sister/brother.
4. Ramai - many
5. Kawan - friend(s)
6. Melayu -Malay
Salam and love ...
