aNA la' aFhaM aL-lughatul araBiaH ....

I was at The DOc's execUtive suite in Park royaL (very nice comfY room) last week and was aBout to have our TApaU-ed NaSik aYAm Bukit bintaNg for dinner when Bob sms-ed me...

"Babe.. i have a few good arabic Cds for u to learn arabIc so that u wont end up blurting something like..please take me from behind to the pak Arabs when u're actually asking for your regular coffee...."

at first it came to me as a joke ... but then, i finally realised, shOOoT!!! mY araBiC suCks!!

i have limited vocaBs. Those years of acually having bahasa araB as one of the subject in my syllibus doesn't groom me into becoming the next spokes person for some arabic talk show or something. All i have in my limited vocab-pool (now mY vocaB has it's Own pOOl) is "ana la' afham al-lughatul arabiah" = i dont know arabic language...and now it shows.....

don't get me wrong here. i still know some of the basic such as..

Mas Muka = what's your name...

kaIfa Haluka = how are u ...

kam saah al an ? = what's the time now..

izhaba ila idarah = i'm going to the office..

bUt then it's not good enuf to actually transpire my message accross...

for example... what if i'm so pissed off in the meeting and decided to bang the table and give some harsh remarks to those pak 4r4bs ... can i just say... "anTa yuklam fil dubur"!!!! = Ure such a paiN in the as*....!!!! it does sound funny and a bit off the limit ..

in the first place do they actually allow you to curse when u're in an islamic country ? do they have some hudud rulling against it ? I know if u tell a lie and u might end up tongeless but does the same rule applies to cursing as well ?? they might even end up sending me back home for having such a filthy mouth....

sO in my quest to bursh up on my appalling arabic laguage skill/knowledge (i dare not call it a skill at all), i decided to seek for the GURU's help...a.k.a MUM...

Come to think bout it, Mum do have various hidden skills. Told u guys bOut her "gypsY skills"...and now arabic?? she should be crowned as "superMum" one of these days...

there i was on satURdaY afternoon in her study..flipping through tonnes of arabic books...

"Mak .. how do u say i want to have breakfast ?"

"....Atanawalul futur...."

"mak...how bOut i really-really need coffee ??

"..Al-kahwah muhimUm li, a'fini al-aN..."

i restrained my self from asking the GURU ...

How do i say ..."will u marry me "???

That will give her the shock of her life won't it ?? But trust me .. if i were to find some Hunk and yummy pak 4raBs(s) there, that will definatley comes in handy. I'll reserve that for later ... much..much later...*wink*

as for the time being...
afhamu al-lughatularabiah qalilan-qalilan = (direct translation for) I faham arabic sikit-sikit....

me...searching high and low for "arabic language for dummies..."

bErbaGI hubbY...

i haVe nothing against PolygaMy and i seriously do not condone people who wish to venture into iT.

On wednesdaY itself i managed to drag The doc and Org minyaK to watch "BerbaGI suAmi". It was a witty muVi and i enjoyed it fer sure. The doC on the other hand felT disturbed and Org minyak ... Hurmm...i think he now have a different view on indon muvies..

The best part oF the whole muvi was the exchange of remarks either from us or from the kakaK behind ouR row. It was hillarious how we ended up cracking ourselves to our own remarks. Not to mention those indon-soft-porn sound effects are priceless (nak beli memana kat petaling street pun tak dapat babe...).

My new IndoN idOl is Dewi Sri plaYed by Ria Irawan. Why ?? fork out your RM10 and go and catch the mUvi. Trust me, u will agree with me ..

...begawan soLo is still playing in my head ...

nEw Year...nEw shine....

baCk then... i was seriouslY in doUbt on what will be installed for me in the future as i viewed my life as going on an on without having any clue where is it leading to.. a headless chicken to be exact. I was indecisive about almost everything. should i submit mY PE application ? should i go out with him ? should i go to koh samui ? should i save or should i spend ? shuld i buy that handphone ? should i wear read or blue ? should i have chicken or fish for Lunch ?

it was bad... uncertainty runs wild...

I did a lot of soul searching, prayed hard, asking HIM to at least shine me with some lights on my future path. I was indecisive about almost everything. i was on an emotional roller-coster. Am i doing the right thing ? where are the signs ?? did i missed on any hints that HE might have given me earlier ??...

Ya Allah ... Please..let me know...dorongkanlah hatiku. Am i actually on the right path ?? aNd yet...i saw nO lights...no hints..no signs....

but now it's clearer...all this while the signs are everwhere, the path is actually clearly lit up, i managed to get almost all of HIS hints.

Alhamdulillah... Despite the fact that it might not seems logic now and sometimes it might not make any sense at all..but HE knows better. i'm welcoming Awal MuharaM with a new shine...

reJected...

Need to say mOre ???
