Dancing brush

Assalamualaikum semua~ 

Memandangkan cuti sekolah ni agak membosankan, maka banyaklah saya membebel dekat sini. Dan ini mungkin tradisi yang baru saya mulakan start tahun lepas. Setiap kali cuti sekolah bulan december, saya akan melukis painting dalam kadar yang agak banyak sampai lambat mandi. 

Kebanyakkannya adalah quick painting in the hustle sebab lambat mandi kan? *Lol* Some of them just terlintas and start paint and some of them inspired from instagram or twitter. If korang pergi menyibuk kat list like dekat twitter aku tuh, melambok gambo lawo2. From situ aku jadikan watercolor painting.

If quick painting, aku tak guna banyak2 berus semua tuh. Aku guna aqua brush. Dia tak payah celup air semua tuh. Dia ada tempat isi air yang connected dengan berus dia. So, just dab sikit dekat watercolor tu, nanti air akan flow ikut berus. 
Ni lah Pentel Aqua Brush.
Masa memula guna memang payah sikit. Sebab tak reti nak control kuantiti air yang keluar. Lepas tu kepekatan warna pun payah nak control. But practice make perfect bukan.. Lama-lama tangan reti adjust sendiri. Bila nak warna cair tekan tempat air tu sikit, so air akan keluar banyak sikit. Memang senang ah guna benda alah ni.

Meh hakak payung sikit quick painting hakak time cuti hujan hujan sekarang nih.



Landak blushing ni inspired from ig

paper plane ni pun inspired, from tumblr 

This one datang ditiup angin time tengah berangan. Quite random lah..



This quote from twitter, I decide to write on the painting konon twitter la ni.

This inspired the northern light🌄

Yang ni obviously time tengah berangan pakwe jambang! 

This is YellowAcacia yang melambangkan secret love mengikut bahasa bunga⁕

This one random. Totally.

Ada banyak lagi, tapi malu sebab tak lawa. Kita payung yang elok-elok ja. Yang epic fail masuk gaung simpan sendiri! Nantilah hakak payung yang tak quick yang lama gila nak lukis. Hat yang tu lawa lah sikit kut. Yang quick ni gopoh berus menari atas kertas ha...

Sixteen going on Seventeen

Assalamualaikum~

Today is 27 December 2016, that's mean we only have 4 days to go before the chicken's year! Am I turning 17 that fast?

Still ingat lagi. When I'm 4, Ayah pergi kursus for few weeks. Before he leave us, he said to me "Try your best not to grow up while I'm not here.Or I don't recognize my own daughter when I'm back." Then he kiss my forehead.

Rasa macam semalam je benda tu happen.But, pejam celik pejam celik, I'm 16 really going on 17.

Tahun 2016 quite mencabar tapi tak adalah teruk mana. Just pindah to new school, new environment, new friends.. Banyak lah benda baru kena face and sesuaikan diri.

School quite easy, but friendship become tough thing for me. I prefer my old classmate, sebab dah kenal lama plus tinggal pun dekat dekat. But new classmate, bukan tinggal dekat dekat tapi satu dorm ha! Dari bukak mata sampai tutup mata balik hadap muka dia! *LOL*

So, next February I'm turning 17 years old. Macam tak percaya!

Jom throw back sikit.

Okay, dari tahun 2000 hingga 2004 saya tinggal di kuarters angkatan tentera di Kem Tentera Bandar Kinrara, Puchong, Selangor. Tapi bila fikir balik, pelikkan kem tentera ada kat tengah-tengah bandar?

Start 2005 saya mula bersekolah di tadika Sri Kinrara. Siapa yang tadika Sri Kinrara batch 2005 tu boleh lah roger saya! Dulu, dekat tadika tu lah ada first crush saya. I think he is same age with me or maybe a year older or a year younger. Tak ingat sangat. Tapi I love to share my food with him. He is a humble boy. Tak lah handsome mana, tapi memang dia baik. Setiap kali ayah fetch me lambat, I always jenguk dia balik dulu. Ayah dia selau jemput dia naik lori. If not mistaken nama dia Fahmi. If tak salah lah...

Ni cerita sengal sikit. Dulu ada sorang cikgu dekat tadika tu, nama sebenar tak tau tapi nama kita orang panggil 'Teacher Lala". One day, she tells us that she will moving out. She is going to London. On her last day she kiss all of her student and explain that she will fly far away and will miss us. Sampai kat aku, aku bantai jerit "Teacher TIPU!" Satu kelas pandang. Guru besar kat situ gelak je. Tapi memang betul dia pindah London and married to a lucky angmoh over there. Teacher Lala is a malay but she never dress like malay. She is a daring plus sexy teacher and also a pretty teacher.

Move on 2006, saya start pre-schooling dekat Pra sekolah seksyen 1 bandar kinrara. Kelas Orchid. Siapa Kelas Orchid Pra Sekolah S1 BK boleh contact saya juga~ Rindu! Tapi few of them I still jumpa lah. Sebab ada yang still sama sekolah sampai sekolah menengah.

A guy from same pra sekolah but different class. Kelas Anggerik if not mistaken. Kelas Anggerik ni penuh dengan budak pandai woi! And that guy from that class is my classmate since darjah satu till form 3! Almost 10 years weh hadap muka dia tiap hari pergi sekolah! Panjang en jodoh kita orang? Even we're not class mate nor schoolmate anymore, kalau jumpa dekat kedai mamak still tegur menegur.

That guy share name with the guy I crush on masa tadika. Nama dia Fahmi juga. But this Fahmi way too different from Fahmi I crush on. Fahmi yang ni annoying tahap gaban! Tiap hari nak gaduh ngan aku je keja! Dulu masa sekolah rendah selalu buat aku nangis. Tak macam Fahmi tadika tuh, dia baik and always make me laugh!

Next, 2007 until 2009 I'm schooling in Sekolah Kebangsaan Seksyen 1 Bandar Kinrara. Quite nice primary school back then. Now lagi advance I think. During the 3 years, saya ada di tahap satu which is sesi petang.

2007 darjah satu kelas Nilam. I am one of Nilamese SKS1 batch 2007. Ada cikgu favorite time tu. Cikgu Bahasa Melayu, Cikgu Roz. Tak ingat nama betul. Cikgu tu cikgu lelaki, cara dia ajar memang syiok habis weh! Bila akhir tahun, dia bantai main tanah liat dengan kita orang. Siap ajar buat bunga bagai guna playdoh! After that year, tak jumpa dah cikgu tu. Dengar cer dia kahwin lepas tu pindah kot.

2008 darjah dua kelas Berlian. I am also one of Berlianian SKS1 batch 2008. Masa tahun ni tak best sangat. Sebab kelas ni semua bebudak pandai. Lepas tu ramai cikgu pertikaikan kenapa saya boleh masuk kelas tu. Classmate mula-mula okay, but lepas exam dia orang tau saya tak sepandai dia orang kot, so dia orang tak rapat dah dengan saya. Start that year juga saya mula rabun jauh and can't see what the teachers write on the white board. Semua nota copy from the others book. And my study become worst sebab tak faham apa cikgu ajar.

2009 the last year in sesi petang. Darjah tiga kelas Intan. Banyak cerita during this year tapi tak nak cerita. Ada cikgu favorite, cikgu practical English kalau tak salah. Tak ingat nama, tapi dia layan kita orang best gila! Suka bererita. Lepas tu cikgu math, selaku guru kelas, Puan Su.... Su something la. Tak ingat nama, tapi muka memang ingat sangat! I love cikgu ni sebab selalu aku ngan cikgu je asyik hias kelas. So, memang selalu spen time together lah.

From 2010 until 2012 aku naik tahap dua, sesi pagi.

2010 darja empat kelas zamrud. Aku jadi penolong ketua kelas sebab aku garang dia orang kata. Sebalik garang dalam tolong monitor kelas, banyak kali aku menangis sebab jawatan tu. Tau tak leader aku siapa? Nama dia Idzham, my bestie crush on him. So, memang bestie aku benci aku sebab aku rapat dengan crush dia. Duh! Tak ada lah rapat sebenarnya, banyak gaduh adalah! and still bertarung dengan study sebab rabun kan.... Then my guru kelas found out my problem, then kasi tau my parent. Aku takut nak bagi tau mak yang aku rabun sebab mak ayah struggle cari duit. Aku tak nak dia orang feel burden. So, start tahun tu lah aku jadi budak bermata empat!

2011 darjah lima kelas intan. Tahun ni nightmare, tak nak ulas banyak. The hardest part of entire my primary school. Banyak problems and dramas occurred during this year. The year I most hate in my entire life so far.

2012 darjah enam kelas Zamrud. Dapat classmate yang okay la. They made me into a net ball player. Best la juga tahun ni. The most happy part is after UPSR, best gila kan... Still ingat The Wanted Girls!! Argggghhh rindunye~!

As you can see, I only proud of my 2007-2009 classes siap ada nama team class lagi. Sebab after that, I changed when everyone haven't. Puberty change me. I tend to have different vision from the rest of them. So memang tak best lah. Sebab aku sorang je yang lain.

2013 until January 2016 I get into Secondary school. SMK S1 Bandar Kinrara.

2013 tingkatan satu kelas Alfa. Tahun ni tak best mana, sebab baru kenal itu ini. Actually, time ni lah aku start join kelas Bahasa Jepun.

2014 tingkatan dua kelas Alfa. Memang tak berubah sebab sekolah ni tak amalkan sistem streaming. So, kekallah dengan gelaran Alfanators tu ha.. Paling sadis untuk Puan Ng Mei Yong sebab dapat kami as her student.

2015 tingkatan tiga kelas Alfa lagi. Sebab no streaming kan... Paling gempak tahun ni ah! PT3 tapi still gila-gila! Guru kelas cikgu BM paling awesome! Layan je kita orang macam anak-anak dia. Ajar pun terbaik! Tips dia bagi memang berguna! Aku memang rapat dengan dia, Sampai amik result PT3 aku join dia jaga kaunter weyh! Masuk dewan jaga kaunter, tiba-tiba nama aku Pengetua announce atas pentas sebab dapat 7A. Memang gembira gila ah! Aku target dapat 5A, lagi dua tu memang extra ngan bonus bagi aku ah..

January 2016 tingkatan empat kelas Alfa sekali lagi. Bukan tak ada streaming, tapi memang dah nasib aku menetap dekat Alfa ni ha. Kelas ni aliran sains tulen 1. and kejadian 2008 berlaku lagi. Ramai cikgu pertikaikan kenapa aku masuk kelas tu. Haih... Tak lama lepas tu aku pindah masuk KVDLM. Tingallah gelaran Alfanator ganti Lelarians/landscaper.

Sepanjang aku sekolah rendah, tak ada pun kawan yang betul betul setia dengan aku dan aku setia dengan dia orang. But time sekolah mengah, I found Siti Nur Nabilah. She is truly my sahabat dunia akhirat! Susah senang always with me. Bila kita orang ada masalah, we'll together solve it. Sampai sanggup tak cukup tidur sama-sama, letih penat sama-sama, jalan kaki, jogging semua sama-sama. Sayang anda!

Okay, we reach the end for now about my journey. Ni lah serba sedikit tetang persekolahan aku. Most of the time of my life memang aku spend dekat sekolah je banyak. Tah kenapa, aku pun tak sure. Dari pagi sampai petang asyik stay kat sekolah je. Sampai kena label budak nerd. Tapi mana ada nerd sebenarnya...

That's it for now. Happy New Year guys!! May 2017 full with bless, love and joy~

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
