found!

i found this very intresting blog, presumbly a singaporean studying? working in kuala lumpur, malaysia. and the most best-est thing about this blog is that is written in malay (quite good) and each entry begins with a psychology theory then the writter (blogger ah?) goes into a story spin. very much like those 'cerpens' or short stories you get to read (when you bother to) in newspapers, magazine (eg reader's digest :P) or a skinny paperback locally published and stuck hidden from view on the shelves till you're forced to read something (school, boredom....ignorance at gunpoint!).

i remembered nyce challenged me to write a full entry in malay (think i mentioned this before..sudden dejavu) and never had the guts to *yet* hehe. random scribbles aside, i haven't written, thought or spoken in fluent malay for a very long time! i used to have so much passion for the language. yeap, i was one of those geeks that loved my 'deklamasi sajak' sessions or poetry recitations and stayed, hung around whenever there was one (very 80's lar i know). the rousing emotions it raised, the pounding consonants and the ringing urgency.....the shrill thrill of going up there (anywhere) and spilling your guts out with so much feel that sometimes you can actually 'forget' the lines which you have learnt so hard. mohd latif mohd, suratman markasan....*bleah* names dwindle away from this faltering memory due to old age *haha!* but i was lucky to have met azizfakir who taught me the beauty of language. i have always liked reading but my accidental foray into elocution, debating, poetry recitations, dance, acting, directing and generally having the time of my life was only because i was most talkative in class and those who know will agree i might have swallowed a microphone when very young (no need to learn voice projection *beams*) so my teachers sorta always volunteered me into participating those deemed doomed (deemed doom cos nobody wants to participate one lah) ECAs. viva la indra kirana!! sweet sweet memories *dehem!*

well back to this guy nizam zakaria of nizamzakaria.diaryland.com, he's pretty good and creatively uses his 'personal space' to the max! go check him out okay then we can try hold a proper conversation in malay one of these days (i see many going 'gah!!!!!") or relive those orbit malay/english ldds days *muahahahahahaha*
