Blue and Yellow...
It just came across my mind...
I seriously wonder why actually...
You know, in Malaysia context. These two things actually have negative connotation.
Only in Malaysia that you can see Blue is the denotation of Pornographic videos/films or even pictures. However, the common denotation of Blue is nowhere near it.
If alien comes to Malaysia, they will wonder about it if the local says BLUE movies...
So, where does this denotation of Blue comes from? and the origin of this connotation is just too puzzling.
Well, the connotation of Yellow is easily identified as dirty, as we can see a lot of dirty things to be in yellow colour. Even so, it is only in Malaysia that you can see people say, Yellow minded a.k.a [otak kuning] ... So, we could see the origin and how the denotation of dirty to yellow. Anyway, yellow minded person is a person with nasty and pervertible mind....
Yeah, I was just wondering how Blue comes to be it... as it is easily explained for Yellow... Based on the surface matter.

Student - Teacher
I have been a student my whole life... the view and perspective that I uphold cannot be use when I am a teacher...
It is different as there are many expectations that I need to meet.
I have to take care of my behaviours and movements... hahah.. so troublesome.. but at the same time, it teaches me to be quite proper.. I do realize sometime that I did some things wrongly.. I just hope that others learned from it... like me... hehehe... ^_^
but, I miss being a student.. huhuhu....
being a teacher is fun anyway.. haha

Teacher's circle
I have been a student in my whole life and I never thought and seen myself as a teacher.
I love being a student as I could learn. But now, I have to teach...
Previously, my friends are only students and peers-alike. However, now, my friends are teachers.
Having a small talks or a guy talks with my peers are great and normal, but when the circle of friends is teacher, it would be quite awkward. And it would be worst if the teacher is your old and former teacher that had taught you in class... >_<
Anyway, that is my dilemma... hahaha.... I felt awkward.... you should know how my face would look like...
DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!. .hahhahahahahaha......

Driving at dusk ~ After rain ~ Near cemetery
Last week, I drove alone home. It was after raining and it was getting dark. I turned the light on to shine the way. At that time, I was testing my bravery by going through the cemetery. It was quite a long road, my estimation was around 400 meters.
So, I drove on the road. I soon to realize that the rain made the dusk darker and foggy. Half way through the road, which was in front of the cemetery, I could not see the road anymore, and the fog could be seen to be enshrouding me. This was the first time I went through it. I could not feel that as if I was in a ghost movie or a thriller. The car's light shone the road but I still could not see the road. I drove slower and slower, just to be careful. Even with high beam, it was futile. The one thing that scared me the most was the fog. It came in a huge number and made the road to be unseen.

rant of the day, sin of the day...
I was thinking of ranting about some people who do not know how to drive...
but, then again, I thought to myself, why do I want to do so?
I would just be wasting my breath and my energy...
So, I erased, my nearly published new post.. hahaha...
Why do I want to omit negative aura.... Better have positive aura...

Last Night, Tonight, Tomorrow Night...
Well, I can view these title in 3 perspective...
One in Islamic sight, Two in Malaysian sight and three in the world sight...
Firstly, in Islam, we are taught that new day starts after Maghrib. Thus, around 7ish pm, it is already the next day.
Secondly, in Malaysia, if that morning is Monday, that night would be Tuesday. It is nearly the same with the Islamic teaching but without the time frame mentioned.
Lastly, in norm, we would always think that the next day would start after 00:00 am.
Here, we can say that, the cultural differences between these group.
For Example:
If a muslim says, I will meet you tonight[as that time frame is Monday], does he/she meant the night after Sunday morning or the night after Monday morning...
I hope you can follow what I am saying.
Besides that, if the same person says, tonight was amazing, [by this time, it is already Tuesday morning]. The usage of past tense is questioned.
Even in Malaysia, we do not mean what we are saying.
For Example;
We always say [Khamis malam Jumaat], ~Friday Night [in Norm] ~Thursday Night [in Islam]
However, we always say, [The time frame is Friday morning]. Last Night was amazing. See the confusion here. Even though, Malaysian says the time frame after Thursday morning is Friday Night; we still think that it is last night when the time frame is Friday morning.
You can see more confusion in this context. How what and Where are the boundaries...
A lot of plans will be in ruin if the time frame is not standardize...
Let say, if I am using the norm time frame, and said tomorrow night we will going to have a party in my house. The listener is a muslim. Thus, he/she might come on that night as the context of tomorrow night in his idea is after maghrib of that following morning.
Therefore, I wonder, how can we survive if what we say is not what we meant?
When is Last Night, Tonight and Tomorrow Night actually???

Old School. Nostalgic Memories
I was really giddy when I went back to my old school...
I really could not held my sense of happiness in the midst of morning Monday assembly... My heart was brimmed with joy and I could not stop smiling...
Looking back front at the students, I could not imagine that I would stand on the stage as a fellow teacher, even as a temporary teacher...
My stomach was full with butterfly. I was acting quite awkward and smiling sheepishly at my former line of teachers.
Besides that, I still have my old friends who are now in form 5 and form 6. How young I am right now, to be a teacher...
But, I could not believed that I survived the first day of teaching...
Monday, I had my world turned upside down, as I had to teach History, Chemistry, Arts and even Morale education... I was supposed to teach English only, but these subjects made me jumped and shivered...
I managed to survive only barely from the first day, and tomorrow will be another new day... I hope the thing that I asked them to do, they will do it.
My God, help me survive these series of events... I am just a child, starting out in this working world only with my books in my brain...
Anyway, enjoy working~
