Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa

bahasa jiwa bangsa.... ya, mmg betul ungkapan itu...saya syg bahasa kita, saya tak pernah marah kalau bahasa penjajah dijadikan medium dlm pelajaran masa sekrang... sebab saya sedar bahasa inggeris kini sudah menjadi lingua franca dalam mendapatkan ilmu di merata dunia.... kalau dulu bahasa melayu dijadikan lingua franca semasa zaman kegemilangan melaka, tetapi sekarang sudah terbalik. bahasa inggeris pula yang dijadikan lingua franca untuk kita mencari ilmu...jadi, hendak atau tidak, kita kena ikut dengan arus zaman.... apakah kita tidak malu dikatakan undur ke belakang?

Benar kata pujangga, rosak bahasa, rosaklah bangsa.... memang betul.... tetapi saya tidak boleh terima klau bahasa kita sahaja yang kuat, bangsa pula binasa dan undur ke belakang dek kerana ilmu dunia yang kita tidak usaha untuk kita miliki....kita tidak mencarinya kerana ego kita kerana tidak mahu menggunakan bahasa penjajah....

Anda tertanya kenapa Jepun bisa maju ke hadapan walaupun tidak menggenggam ijazah tertinggi dlm Bahasa Inggeris? Modal mereka banyak untuk melakukan penyelidikan sendiri.... Modal Universiti Harvard yang menjadi salah sebuah universiti terbaik di mata dunia juga banyak untuk membolehkan mereka membuat penyelidikan yang hebat-hebat.... malaysia masih lagi negara yang membangun, tidak cukup untuk megeluarkan modal sendiri untuk menjalankan penyelidikan yang hebat-hebat seperti mereka.... jadi, x salah klau kita menggunakan Bahasa Inggeris untuk mendalami ilmu daripada hasil penyelidikan mereka.... ini penting untuk kemajuan bangsa kita juga... untuk generasi yang bakal lahir.... =)

Anda hendak tahu bagaimana negara kita masih lagi memartabatkan bahasa ibunda kita? saya akan beri satu contoh di mana JPA hanya akan mengambil pelajar-pelajar yang medapat A dalam Bahasa Melayu untuk dihantar ke luar negara untuk belajar. Contohnya, sepupu saya telah mendapat 8A untuk SPM nya yang lepas... A1 untuk kimia, A2 untuk fiziknya, A2 untuk matematik tambahan nya. Tetapi kenapa die tidak terpilih untuk pergi ke luar negara oleh JPA? Jawapannya; kerana Bahasa Melayu nya B4, kawan-kawan! Kerajaan tidak akan hantar pelajar-pelajar ke luar negara kalau bahasa sendiri pun mereka tidak boleh kuasai. Pokoknya di sini, kalau anda fikirkan tiada usaha untuk memartabatkan bahasa kita, ANDA SALAH. Kalau anda fikirkan usaha kerajaan untuk menukar pelajaran ilmu hisab dan ilmu alam ke bahasa penjajah adalah tidak wajar, ANDA JUGA SALAH! Jika anda benar-benar bersikap patriotik untuk menegakkan bangsa anda sendiri,relakan anak-anak sekarang mempelajari bahasa penjajah untuk masa hadapan mereka yang lebih cerah....

saya bukan hendak mengecam komen saudara farouk dalam blognya, tetapi saya berharap saya dapat memberikan satu kesedaran kepadanya.. =) saya tahu saudara farouk telah hanyut dalam sikap patriotik nya yang mungkin terlupa akan kepentingan kemajuan bangsa. Saya pasti bukan saudara farouk sahaja yang berfikiran begitu. Ramai lagi di luar sana yang masih memprotes tindakan kerajaan untuk menukar medium bahasa pelajaran anak-anak sekarang.

Apa yang saya hendak katakan di sini adalah: buangkan rasa ego kita untuk kesejahteraan diri sendiri, agama, anak-anak yang bakal lahir dan juga bangsa MALAYSIA.....=)

Segala salah silap saya, saya meminta maaf. Saya mungkin masih lagi setahun jagung, masih lagi berusia 18 tahun tetapi saya harap pandangan saya mampu memberi manfaat kepada semua.

princess hours


I know its a little too late to write about this korean love drama. But I couldnt help writing about it. I have to confess that I had just finished watching the series while you might have watched it ages ago ( it became the most-watched drama in 2006, for crying out loud, its now 2008!) This almost-cinderella tale was so captivating that I had to watch it non-stop because I was eager to know the ending. It is also known as The Imperial Household or Love In Palace. It is set in the 21st century n the story revolves around the life of the Crown Prince, the last royal family of Korea. He married the not-so-popular-and-headstrong girl, which was actually a request from his deceased-once-king grandfather. Love eventually blossoms between the two of them despite them hating each other since the marriage was politically arranged. some matters are complicated throughout the story. what was charming was that the insensitive prince became sensitive and had done things that are ever so touching and romantic. honestly, i watched because i wanted to see the romantic part. and so, i questioned myself, why men can be so romantic in movies, but not in real life? hehe....

romantic stories have always been a big No-No to boys.... wanna know why? they hate to see how romantic other men can be, and how they couldnt compete with that. they hate romantic stories, esp korean dramas because they couldnt be the perfect boyfriend a girl could wish for. They hate it because korean dramas always make them look bad as a boyfriend. =)

I dont mind that.... because i found myself a great one.... nobody's perfect, thats for sure! =)

anyway, i'm waiting to watch princess hours II.... =)

when i was six...


....I started writing short stories. I still keep a collection of my own stories in a file. You know, the feeling felt so great. Ideas came to me like waves rushing to the beach. My hands, they couldnt stop moving. Filling the empty spaces on the paper, I felt every passion pushing me to write more, n more.



when i was that age, i love watching PINGU AND PINGA. you know that cartoon series, dont you? he's a lovable character.... =) basically, all of my stories are based on the series. after watching it, i somehow came up with the idea to write. n i came up with new ideas.



wanna read one? here's one... =)





PINGU GOES TO SCHOOL



Pingu was in trouble because his mum asked him to go to school. So, he get up and marched up and down in his bedroom. Then he shouted I hate going to school. Mum had an idea. Pingu, you can do painting at school but you got to bring your apron said Mum. Pingu stop marching and look at Mum. Why do little penguins got to go to school? asked Pingu. Because if little penguins dont go to school they will be stupid and not clever. said Mum. Anna, Pinga and Dad were waiting to sent Pingu to school. Then they all sent Pingu to school. Pingu called his teacher, Mr.Wills. Mr. Wills is a kind teacher. Pingu went to his class and read his book , then Mr. Wills told Pingu : You must go out and paint a picture. So Pingu go and paint a picture nicely. Mr Wills thought to himself : I could go to the art class and see if Pingu has done his painting. Mr Wills hurried to the art class. He saw Pingu painting cafully and he had finish it. You can take it home, said Mr Wills. Pingu went home happily. The end.


This was written on the 16th of February 1995. =) although there are a lot of mistakes in grammar and punctuations marks, i still find it to be very pleasing and it was a good start for a very little girl...


I wish I could be the girl I used to be. The girl with great ideas and fantastic writing skills.
I wish I could be that girl again. I've lost some good writing sense, and I miss it so much.
Plz...help me find my light again. Its been years already. Hope I could do that again. Hope I could get back my ideas and do what I enjoy doing. =)

why i start blogging

i'm a good girl; a good daughter, a good sister, and a good student. i dont really break rules unless i am forced to. i live to make others happy,so that they feel proud of me. if u think that i sound boring, go ahead. i dont care.

Sometimes, i find it hard to say things aloud. it terrifies me if people misunderstand me. like i said, i live to make them feel proud of me, not to let them think that i sound stupid. I dont usually make statements. My words, my feelings, any thoughts of mine are only burried inside.

This sort of attitude is unacceptable, I know. =)

When it comes to serious matter or a serious conversation, I lie still like a doll. Or when i meet new people or serious people, i became seriously quiet. i do not wish to make any efforts to make a complete fool of myself. If I were to convey my opinions, I can only do it thru writing. I dont speak much, i juz write.

When it comes to fooling around with friends, I'm actually the different kind of girl. I like fooling around with my friends a lot. I'm able to make a lot of people laugh. I'm good at it.

Basically, I dont talk about serious stuff and I dont talk much to new people....before I embarass myself to death, i prefer not talking. =)

So, blogging is the only way I could pen down my opinions and thoughts in a serious way. get it why i start blogging?

besides, i juz love to wirte..... =)
