My Space
Loved Facebook. But the second last change, the sidebar thingie, was too much of an invasion of privacy to make me feel comfortable to stay interacting there. My official FB is now dormant. Read only mode. Shame.
My imaginary FB is still active though. I don't have to watch what I say there, since most people there are either imaginary friends or real friends I'm comfortable with.
Twitter is fun for stalking footballers. And chat about football with like-minded strangers. Still, it gets confusing and there's no way to easily access what's been said. Yeah, I suka syok sendiri and re-read what I wrote.
G plus, now this is something that I like. It's rather quiet but after the chaos that was FB, I appreciate the lack of 'friends'. In fact, I hope to keep G plus quiet, just a small circle of friends that I'm comfortable with.
But blogging is where it's still at. Orang tak baca pun tak pe.
In fact, I'm going to treat it like the hybrid of FB and G plus.
Here's to more updates in 2012. Orang tak baca pun tak pe.
But in case there's someone out there reading this, ahem...chekidaut how my new year began :D
Try it.
If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world.
After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he’d prefer six months of hard labour to reading six lines aloud.
Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it’s written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation’s OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.
Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does.
Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.
Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Fe0ffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.
Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.
Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.
Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.
Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.
Pronunciation (think of Psyche!)
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won’t it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It’s a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.
Finally, which rhymes with enough,
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give up!!!

Why I have tit envy
21 January 2011
So I have this client who's a Tuan Haji who somehow doesn't mind me. He would say things like, "I nak solat kejab. You pergi lah smoke dulu."
Oookay.
He does torture me by making me listen to the ceramah ugama on youtube though.
Oh well.
Anyway, he called me today, said there's an urgent job. So off I go. Sigh. It's effing Friday night but he pays promptly.
Oh well.
Anyway, he was in an agitated state.
Apparently, a medium sized agency came over pitching their services. He decided to try them out. "You're a one-man show. I thought these guys could have a faster turnaround."
Basket.
So he called them over for a brief.
'Why do you want to see me then?"
"You tahu tak. Dia datang bawak satu perempuan tetek besar..besar gila..pakai baju ketat, taruk atas meja. Macamana my staff nak kerja with them?It's not going to work. The guys semua dok ketar-ketar. The ladies semua bengang ingat - 'oh, ko berlagak tetek ko besar ye..tak pe.'
What am I supposed to say to that kind of outburst?
Then he went on.
"Yang sorang tu pakai mini skirt. Sure janda."
Whaaaaaaaaa?? What's the logic? Does that mean he thinks I'm a janda also?
Anyway, the upshot is, he now wants me to do the job. There goes my fucking weekend.
Fuck the big-titted cow.
Hang on a sec. Does this mean I'm no threat to his female staff?
I'm bitter.

Kisah Cinta Agong Kepala Hotak Kau
Izzah (Maya Karin) seorang gadis kampung yang bekerja sebagai ustazah, berkawan dengan Mail (Bront Palarae) yang menaruh hati terhadapnya, dan tinggal bersama makciknya (Delimawati) yang sakit tenat dan pakciknya (Kamarool Yusof) yang kejam.
Walaupun Izzah dilayan baik oleh Pak Dollah (Zaidi Omar) dan Mak Jah (Normah Damanhuri), pekerja keluarga Hariz, namun dia terpaksa menghadapi pelbagai rintangan dan kesengsaraan demi cintanya terhadap si perogol Hariz tu.
Masyallah. Inikah "kisah cinta agung" yang berjaya meraut lebih RM12 juta di box-office? Kisah cinta antara wanita yang lemah dan tidak berpewatakan dengan lelaki yang menderanya secara fizikal, emosional dan seksual?
Filem ini menjual female submission fantasy, atau fantasi pengakuran wanita, kepada masyarakat dimana hampir 40% wanita menghadapi keganasan rumahtangga. Dan apakah mesej disebalik fantasi ini?
Jika anda didera, diseksa dan dicabul kehormatan anda, baik diam saja? Hanya kerana laki kau hensem macam Aaron Aziz? Kau ingat makin kau biar diri kau didera, makin pendera kau akan jatuh cinta dengan kau? Kalau kau lawa macam Maya Karin mungkinlah, tapi kalau tak, mampuslah kau? Pasal filem ni, rosak segala usaha NGO seperti Pertubuhan Pertolongan Wanita (WAO) dan All Women's Action Society (AWAM) yang bertungkus lumus membantu dan memberi kaunseling kepada wanita mangsa penderaan suami.
Dan si Izzah ni abende? Heroine paling tak guna dalam sejarah perfileman Malaysia. Langsung tidak mengambil apa-apa tindakan aktif mahupun membuat apa-apa keputusan, hanya bereaksi kepada segala yang berlaku dalam cerita ini (dan reaksinya 90% ialah nangis).
Tiada personaliti, tiada harga diri, tiada usaha untuk memperbaiki hidupnya dan tiada tanggungjawab keatas kebahagiaan dirinya sendiri. Biar orang lain jaga dia je, dan kalau orang tu kejam terhadap dia, harapkan tangisan je akan buat orang tu kasihankan dia.
Macam ni nak jadi heroine? Siapa nak jatuh cinta dengan perempuan macam ni? Hanya lelaki yang egotis dan dominan macam Hariz, yang inginkan hamba bukan isteri. Lelaki yang benar-benar menghormati kaum wanita dan menganggap wanita sebagai sama taraf akan memilih perempuan yang bijak, berkemampuan dan berpendirian. Yang macam Izzah ni, memang tak layak nak hidup bahagia dalam dunia ini.
Sigh... sekali lagi sebuah filem yang buat aku berang masa mula-mula, makin lama makin buat aku hilang rasa marah itu. Sebab fantasi yang dihidangkan oleh arahan Osman Ali, serta skrip yang ditulisnya bersama Armantono (diadaptasikan dari novel Fauziah Ashari), dimasak dengan cukup sedap.
Cerita melodrama mesti ada watak jahat, dan filem ini ada dua. Yang paling menyerlah ialah ibu Hariz yang dipersembahkan dengan penuh over-the-top oleh Azizah Mahzan. Seringkali saya dapati Osman sangat teruja menunjukkan betapa eeeevilnya watak Dato' Sufiah ini, sehingga mekap dan pencahayaan pun berganding dengan lakonan Azizah bagi menjayakan kejahatan yang amat menghiburkan.
Heroinenya pula bagaimana? Tetap tak guna. Saya juga kurang terkesan dengan lakonan Maya Karin; beliau seperti tidak tahu apa nak buat dengan watak yang begitu lemah dan pasif.

Pelir, pelir and more pelir
Kak R is simply hilarious. I've never spent time with her and not laugh my head off.
I even lived with her family for a year, back when I was doing my first year and her husband was doing his PHD. It's the first time I've ever lived in a functional family environment. Well, if you can call her family functional.
Back then, she has two kids. A boy and a girl. I think that was the start of my love affair with chubby little girls.
She has always been obsessed with 'pelir'. Anyone's pelir but her husband's, that is.
She'd go, 'Besor pelir F (son) ni. Ni ikut family Kak R ni.' She would say this in her husband's presence. What he makes of it I don't know.
I still see her often. I even have my own room in her house, complete with an attached bathroom. She loves me too :D
Her husband supports Liverpool. So she sort of watch football too. But somehow, she's more fascinated with Arsenal.
'Ya Allah Lily, hudohnya black kat Arsenal ni."

*pause*
"Tapi tak pe lah. Tuhan tu maha adil. Orang huduh dia bagi pelir kerah kekong. Macam sudu besi hentak kat meja."
That's quite an analogy, innit?
"Orang putih lain. Besar tapi lembik. Percayalah cakap Kak R."
Where she gets all these gems I don't know.
Just a few days ago, she came up with another observation, out of the blue.
"Lily, kalau ada orang umor dua puloh tekel Lily, Lily jangan layan. Pelir besar ibu jari je."
Whoa. Where did that come from?
Do I look like Rosnah Mat Aris?!?
Speaking of which, Rosnah Mat Aris once tried to tekel one of the part time kids.
What happened was, she bumped into him at a snooker joint and offered to belanja him and his friends.
So I asked part time kid, "Habis, you layan tak?"
To which he replied, 'Tak nak lah. Dah lah tua, gemuk pulak tu."
Kici hati mek tau.
Pelir betullah budak-budak ni. Or, rather, if we go by Kak R, "pelir besar ibu jari betullah budak-budak ni."
