Family in Malay

Hi again! Okay, even though Malaysian isn't having same skin color, we still call each other with family or relative calling name. I'm not sure why we do that, but by doing so we can feel that every where we go is our home and every one is our family. It made us become one big Malaysian family. So don't feel shock when Malaysian randomly call the waiter 'brother' or 'uncle' or 'auntie'. That just us. You can do so if you want to.

Before we start, let's do some recap on our last lesson. Always remember how to pronounce the vocal alphabets.

A sounds like you open up your mouth - "Ahhh"
I sounds like you showing your teeth - "Eeee"
U sounds like u in 'flu' - "Uuu"
E can sounds like e in elephant or e in earning
O sounds like you pronounce the letter it's own - "Ooo"

So, let's start our lesson!

Mother - ibu / emak (ee-bu / e *e in earn - mug) *usually used :  mak*

Father - Bapa / Ayah (Ba *its like bar without 'r' - pa *like papa / A - yah)

Elder brother - Abang (Ah - bang *open your mouth with the 'a') *usually used :  bang*

Elder sister - Kakak (*remember how to pronounce A?) *usually used :  Akak*

Younger sibling - Adik (Ah - dik) *usually used :  Dik*

Auntie - Mak Cik (mug - cik) *usually used :  Acik*

Uncle - Pak Cik (Park - cik) *usually used :  Acik*

Son / Daughter - Anak (Ah - nak *its like knuckle)

Nephew / Niece - Anak buah / Anak saudara (Ah - nak bu-ah / sau *its like pronounce Saudi  - da -ra)

Cousin - Sepupu (Sir - pu - pu *its like put)

Grandmother - Nenek (nay - neck) *in Malaysia we call our grandparents differently based on place commonly.

Grandfather - Datuk (Dah - took) *usually used :  Atuk*

BONUS When you call your couple 'honey' its called 'sayang' in Malay♡

Malay Tips :

- When calling someone older and looks like in our grandma age, don't just straight call her nenek! Instead call her mak cik.

- If you are not sure what to use either adik or kakak, I personally say just use adik. But if clearly you know she is older than you, use kakak okay?

- Don't be shy to use Malay in public in Malaysia. Even if you're not mastered yet, just use a pinch of it. For example, when you asking for the price "Bang, how much is it?" . It make the seller feel comfortable with a foreigner and you can improve you Malay skills slowly.

For next lesson I'll share how to count in Malay. So, stay tuned~~

Greetings in Malay

Here, we start with basic greetings we used every day. And Hi would sounds the same in Malay.

For introducing, I'd like to inform that Malay pronounciation totally like Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti sound. There is no such thing like how a mad sound, the a will sound how a in mart was pronounced.

For e, we have two ways to pronounce it. E how e in erhu was pronounced and e in enamel was pronounce. For examples, six in malay is enam (e in erhu) and tail in malay is ekor (e in exotic)

The way I is pronounce in malay is like how e is pronounce in english. Example, if the malay word spelled Li, it's like Lee in english. And it won't sound like lie, line or else... It just stick to one pronounciation.

U, it's sound like u. It different from english, because u in english can be pronounce like a was pronounced sometimes. But not in malay. Think how 'flu' is pronounce, that totally how u in malay words are pronounced.

Will start our lesson here.

Good morning - Selamat pagi (Sir-lump-mart  pa-gi) *after mid night till before noon

Good afternoon - Selamat tengahari (te *e in erhu -ngah  ha-ri)

Good evening - Selamat petang (pe *e in erhu - tang *sounds like tongue) *1p.m. - 6p.m.

Good night - Selamat malam (ma-lump) *7p.m. - before mid night

We use greetings based on the clock just like the Japanese but majority of us don't use the time like them. Shame on us. #janjimelayu

Going on,

Thank you - Terima kasih

Thank you very much - Terima kasih banyak

Next is we'll step into some events, 

Happy New Year - Selamat tahun baru

Happy birthday - Selamat hari lahir

Happy mother's day - Selamat hari ibu

Happy father's day - Selamat hari bapa

Happy teacher's day - Selamat hari guru

✨BONUS✨ Good Luck - Selamat maju jaya / Semoga berjaya

🗣 Malay tips : 

- If you don't want to sound like foreigners during calling food delivery, pronounce words that ends with -a  sound like how you pronounce u in fur or e in mere 

Example : How much - Berapa → Berape

- Don't use Lah, Lorh, Meh accent if you really don't know how to use it. Because it will sounds fool if you use the wrong term in certain situations.

For next time, I'll share about Family and Relatives were called in Malays. Stay tuned~

Teaching?

Hello, Assalamualaikum.

Recently someone just asking me various question about whether Malay language. Like the grammar, greetings and so on. Ermm... I'm not a teacher I'm just a normal friend that still studying in Landscaping. And I don't know how to teach properly about language. If you ask me to teach you how to make your lawn looks great, probably I can give some advice then. But language.... I'd probably give you a wrong answer because it will including some translating work that I'm worst on it. 

Enough about Malay language teacher to be stuff, now some of my classmate ask me to teach them some Japanese thingy. I do learn some but as I've told in other entry, I stop at the middle of learning. I roughly know few words and can make very few sentences and only remember hiragana alphabet and can't even read katagana or kanji alphabet. I'd share few tips on remember hiragana later on. And maybe 'teach' some about Malay language too. I'll try my best, but it will have some flaws here and there. I'm not good in teaching though...

So, I'll cover the basic common things in Malay grammatical stuff and few common words or sentence. Including some tips in Malaysia, maybe some fashion tips or public transportation things or about emergency stuff while in Malaysia? I'll try okay.

So, that is all for now. See ya in next entry~

Bye~ *from my cute Pak Atan

As a friend

Sini nak pesan sikit untuk diri sendiri dgn dak2 sekolah yang lain gak. Kita semua ni dah la sekolah tak habis lagi, setokin tu pun mak ayah belikan. Tolong hargai peluang, masa, duit yang ada. Bukan semua orang ada yang kita semua ada. Mak ayah hantar pergi sekolah, what for? Belajarlah kawan! Study, timba ilmu, bukannya menggatal, kacau anak orang, cari gaduh. Setiap ibubapa harapkan yang terbaik dari kita semua. Mereka harap kita keluar dari sekolah jadi insan yang beradab, bersivisik, berjati diri. Bukannya keluar sekolah jadi mat motor, mat jenin, cikaro semua tu. 

No, I'm not talking about mereka diluar sana. I'm talking about KITA. Kita semua guys... Kita keluar mana-mana bawa nama mak ayah, bawa nama keluarga. Semua kita buat akan di refer to our family. Believe me. Kau tak flush dekat toilet KLCC hari tu pun orang mesti tanya anak siapa la bijak sangat tak reti guna flush. See? Anak siapa? Mak ayah yang kena babe! 

For those yang betul gatal tak tahan dah, tolong cakap dekat parent "Nak nikah". Demi Allah, atas nama Allah, bukan atas dasar nafsu. Demi mengelak perbuatan keji terjadi, demi mengelak rosaknya anak adam. If they don't allow you, doa, solat sunat malam. Moga Allah melancarkan segalanya. Ingat, benda yang baik, Allah akan bantu. Without Allah's help, siapa lagi yang mampu tolong?  

I've seen my close friend rosak. Dia yang saya kenal bukan macam tu. Kami solat, mengaji, wirid, solat tahajud sama2. But then, dia buat saya macam tuhan. Depan saya je baik, belakang dah macam tak ada tuhan. Subahanallah! Tak sangka, semua yang saya pesan tak masuk pun dalam hati dia. What I can do is doakan semoga Allah sentiasa pelihara dia dari segala maksiat dan dosa. She is the reason why I'm writing now.

If lelaki minta nombor telefon, bagi ayah or mak punya is enough. If dia orang minta id apa2, don't give. Alasan nak bincang homework jadah sekolah semua tu boleh di terima. But if senior yg minta, tak logic my dear.... What for abang2 tu nak contact korang? There is no reason guys.. Setakat excuse, syaiton nirrojim je tu... Apa korang nak jawab dekat depan Allah nanti? Kenapa dekati maksiat? Ha? Nak jawab apa?

Few days ago, ada seorang senior minta nombor phone. Saya bagi nombor mak sebab tak ingat nombor ayah. He is lucky man! At last dia confess kat saya, then minta couple. I reject him terus atas alasan, aku masuk kolej ni nak belajar, not for such thing like that. Dia terima, he said la.. Dalam hati, hanya dia dengan tuhan yang tahu.

Alhamdulillah, mak dan ayah saya dah letak sempadan dalam hati saya. There's limit between friend, junior-senior, teacher-student. Even the line that separates us as thin as bulu kening, there's still a line.

Please guys, ingat yang setan iblis tak akan pernah letih goda kita semua. Ingat Allah sentiasa. Ingat yang ada dua yang bersayap di kiri dan kanan kita. Ingat mak ayah yang menaruh harap pada kita. Insya' Allah Allah akan lindung kita. Semoga kita sentiasa dijauhkan dari melakukan dosa dan maksiat. Allahumma Amin...

Secubit Pengalaman di Asrama

Assalamualaikum uolls! Tak terlambat rasanya nak wish Gong Xi Fa Chai ang pau lai lai!~💰🍊🙈

Okay, back to our topic. 26 January hari tu saya dah lapor diri dekat KVDLM A.K.A SMTDLM. Course? Landscape lerrr~~ here I'll selit serba sedikit about peraturan or any tradition sekolah ni. First, KVDLM ni sekolah pertanian. Dekat sini ada 9 kursus. Meh saya listkan sikit ;

-Landscape (LL)

-Agro mechanism (MEKA)

-Tanaman 

-Pengurusan Perniagaan (PP)

-Holtikultur Hiasan ( HH)

-Aquaculture (Aqua)

-Ternakan Ruminan (RUMINAN)

-Ternakan Poultri (POULTRI)

-Pemprosesan Hasil Pertanian (PHP)

Dekat KVDLM, kami panggil pelajar perempuan ASPURI dan pelajr lelaki ASPURA. 

okay, now here the pengalaman yang ciput tu... On the first day which is Tuesday till Friday we had super duper guper packed orientation session. Dari Zohor 26 January sampai lepas isyak 29 January. During that whole first week, we just had time together in surau and dewan sahaja! Memang kebas ehem ehem lah! Memang tak pergi sekolah or attend any class yet. 

Okay, on the weekend we had our first outing. Outing pulak satu kes. If you guys nak outing sendiri, memang tak boleh keluar daerah. If keluar dengan parents je boleh pergi jauh-jauh ikut suka korang. Tapi kena balik asrama sebelum 1800 hrs. Pakaian masa outing pula kena pakai baju t-shirt outing sekolah atau baju korporat sahaja. 

For the whole first week, kami kena pakai baju korporat setiap pagi dan lepas solat zohor dan asar kena pakai baju amali. Malam pula untuk Maghrib, bagi ASPURI, wajib pakai baju kurung or jubah dan ASPURA pula baju melayu atau jubah. Untuk riadah pula, sebenarnya pakaian bebas asalkan tak ketat dan menutup aurat. Tapi kami bagi ASPURI, kami teramatlah busy sampai tak sempat tukar baju. At the end kami bantai je baju amali tu😂😂😂 sebab masa orientation tu, setiap petang ada riadah. But normally at the end of week je wajib. Setiap hari tu kira macam sunat mu'akat la...

Now kita pergi pasal undang-undang atau peraturan. First kita pergi dekat pakaian dulu. Baju korporat wajib dipakai dengan seluar slack hitam pada setiap pagi Isnin. Petang tu biasa kita orang tukar baju amali. Bagi ASPURI, hanya tudung putih sekolah dibenarkan pakai bersama baju korporat. Dan tudung tu wajib tuck-in semasa perhimpunan rasmi hari Isnin. Lepas assembly boleh keluarkan tudung anda.... Hari lain which is Selasa till Khamis angpa boleh taram baju amali atau baju corse angpa... Hari Jumaat special sikit.. Bagi ASPURA, korang wajib pakai baju melayu putih cekak musang bersama samping sekolah... Bagi ASPURI lak, korang wajib pakai baju sekolah kain biru tu... Langsung tak best! Tapi as usual, lepas perhimpunan rasmi korang boleh tukar baju amali...

Second, kita pergi bab asrama. Asrama sini guna dorm. Satu dorm normally boleh muat 10 katil double decker. Sempit memang sempit.. Tapi nak buat guane lagi deh? Redha je la... Dalam dorm biasanya ada dua atau satu senior tahun 3/4. Just untuk pantau dak dak tahun satu ni... Dorm hanya boleh masuk waktu rehat wajib atau waktu takde class petang sahaja. Maksudnya, start pukul 8 pagi sampai 1330 hrs tak boleh masuk dorm. Rehat ada dua, rehat pukul 1030 hrs dengan rehat 1330 hrs. Rehat 1030 tu nak duduk dalam kelas pun boleh... Tapi rehat 1330 tu wajib kosongkan kelas. Pi balik makan, tidur or basuh or sidai kain.  Dorm ni agak strict juga la.. Yang saya tahu ASPURI la... ASPURA tak tahu la macam mana. Strict dekat sini is tilam kena string. Atas tilam tak boleh ada apa-apa selain satu bantal satu selimut. That's it. Tapi saya ada satu item yang selalu 'ter'tinggal tepi bantal. My cutie mini quran. Yelah... Tak tahu nak taruk mana dah... Lepas tu, sebelum pergi sekolah, lantai kena sapu, tingkap kena bukak, langsir kena ikat. Kasi itu nuur kasih masuk. Lagi satu! Dekat katil tak boleh sangkut apa-apa tau! Towel ke, hanger ke apa jadah ke... Cannot! Kasi clear je..

Now kita masuk bab locker. Locker kat sini tak aci sikit tau.. Ada yang dapat locker dua pintu, ada yang dapat satu pintu... Ikut nasib ahh.. Saya dapat yang satu pintu ja... Kita redha je la... Locker tu kena kemas. Kalau semak samun, ular pun tak segan silu menetap kat dalam tu. Sebabnya....... Tepi Dorm kat sini dikelilingi ladang kelapa sawit nak oiii! So, pandai kamulah jaga kebersihan locker. Bawak mangga sendiri tau! 

Okay, sekarang bab barang. Barang yang paling goma budak ASPURI bawak is teddy bear, luggage besar dinosaur, tudung shawl melambok dan........ Phone lerrr... Luggage tu tak da hal kot... Sebab each dorm ada stor masing2.. Teddy bear tu pandai2 la sumbat kat mana2.. Tudung shawl tu bawaklah balik kak oi... Sini boleh pakai tudung bawal, tudung sarung, tudung bawal je... Tu pun black and white sajooo~~ phone saya sarankan don't bring it or show off ipong ko, samsengsung ko, levononino ko... Jangan. Sebab senior confirm akan report kat warden. Korang akan nampak senior main phone, tapi jangan jelly gaiss.. Kuatkan iman! Dekat dengan dorm ada dua bijik public phone.. Guno yo lah bosi burok tu heh!!! kalau dogil nak jugak bawak phone, biarlah kau dengan tuhan je yang tahu... 

Tradition? Biasanya time orientation week Biro or senior akan bagi assightment. Assightment paling famous amos is kutip tanda tangan senior or warden or pensyarah. For now tu jo lah yang esey tau.. Iyolah... Esey dak baru jugak...

Sikit info extra, dekat sini yang paling active sukan Softball. Sampai wakil negara ugais! Wakil tu from ASPURI gaisss!  Lepas tu team Caklempong. Yang lain tu adalah jugak tapi tak seHOT dua tu. Kemudahan yang ada dekat asrama ada beberapa je.. Dekat blok saya ada bilik dobi sekali dengan iron, toilet each floor. Tu je la..😅😅

Okay, tu je kot... Tu je yang secubit, sekelumit pengalaman saya dekat asrama... Hope dapat membantu~😘😘

Dah genaplah 5478 hari saya hidup... Ha! Kiralah umur saya!! Okay, disebabkan saya dah tunggu bertahun-tahun tahun lompat ni, finally lega jugalah sebab it's coming akhirnya!! Alhamdulillah ~

Ni nak cakap sikit eh, siapa yang tak sedar tahun ni tahun lompat..... Meh saya nak belanja sikit! Nak belanja medicine untuk alzheimer siap-siap! *snap fingger* bangun eh! Bangun! Tahun ni saya ada birthday macam orang biasa.. Ahhh.... Akhirnya! 

Tapikan, bila birthday saya nanti, kalau nak belikan saya kek, saya tak mau kek telor tepung. Nak demand sikit la ye.. Almaklumlah, 4 kali setahun je nok~!! Saya nak kek 100% durian. Macam Nikhun 2pm tu bagi dekat Victoria f(x) tu.. Ha..... Demand ni kena besertakan Eno pati hali dengan Paracetamol sekali! Manalah tahu, incase demam keesokkan harinya kan? Bak kata pepatah, sediakan baldi sebelum hujan. Ye la.. Bang Maslan suruh jimat cermat.. Ye dok bang Maslan oi?
