What am I up to

ahhh.. gler rindu nk updet blog just that sentiasa xde masa n xde idea (penulis yang xbaek aku neyh.. ;P)

so.. skrg ni aku berkira2 nak menulis sebuah novel secara serius. i mean, lepas kejayaan akak aku dgn novelnya "Sandaran Hati" yang diterbitkan oleh Alaf 21, aku rasa teruja plak. Tapi my sister tu mmg rajen n inspired kot. siap dah 4 novel published. aku plak, salu sgt tulis novel, tp mesti terhenti separuh jalan. As if idea aku tetiba hilang. Maybe sbb aku x plan btol2 kot.

Aku rindu saat-saat waktu aku btol2 terinspired. mcm waktu sekolah menengah dulu. aku sgt seronok menulis ni sampai terpilih mewakili negeri Perak pergi kem penulisan remaja kat Miri, Sarawak. siap menang beberapa pertandingan sayembara cerpen sbb aku mmg rajin menulis. sajak sumer tu xyah cakap r.. mmg bersepah.

tapi.. hurm, skrg nak mulakan ayat pun susah. nak bermadah kata pun dah rasa mcm berat. rasa mcm xsemangat. rasa mcm ada jek yang menyekat ruang kreativiti. hehe

so, aku skrg sedang mengumpul material utk novel pertama yg serius ni. kali ni, aku nk tulis pasal pembikinan novel ni supaya nnt klu sape2 yg bc blog aku tanya psl novel ni, xde rr aku malu nk bitau perkembangannya. i need ur support. hahahaa. tapi i don think my novel ni will be an Alaf 21 material. rasa mcm akan lebeyh kontemporari sket kot. haha

anyway.. tu jek rr nk updet. benda2 laen lain kali laa eyh. :P

Nyah, baru sempat promote novel baru nyah. hehehe

after a twilight (i was very sleeeeepy!) presentation.. my lecturer didnt ask any questions, she just said...

"U've made a thorough analysis on Levi's"

"U seem to have put a lot of thought in your company"

"I didnt see creativity in the company's name, but as you get into the logo, I can start to see the creativity. And you always have strong reasons behind the name, logo and everything"
"How long did you take to prepare all this"

----I mumbled----

"A night? You did it alone"

----No, my frens helped me with these products---- ----oh, and another night for the documentation----

"Good, good, I just can say that your presentation is above my expectation. You've nailed this presentation"

What can I say? That made me more grateful having friends like you guys! Thanks Jigo, Yas, Ena, Iskandar and Vicky. Not to forget Hilal for the website design. Thanks Pat, Mino and Lina for listening to my crappy ideas. Hoho

Jigo buat2 ade kerja laa tu kan?

Yas gelak2 sambil buat kerja.

Muka gigih 2 org pekerja multimedia, Ena n Iskandar. Vicky tu pekerja multiada-apa-apa :P

A Word A Day?

Dalam menetapkan sesuatu perkata atau bisnes, kita kene mengira realism waktu. kita xleyh suka2 letak target klu kita tau benda tu xley tercapai. kita mesti tau, capability kita dlm melaksanakan sesuatu.

xceli, i post ni sbb kwn2 i tanya mana word-word baru utk 2-3 hari lps sbb ckp 'a word a day'? OMG, i terlupa lgsung! hahaha

yeah, i was busy laa.. dgn my 'jeans business' and my hectic schedule (tido), so mmg xsempat membuat kajian2 cultural n anthropology terhadap kewujudan bahasa2 baru. tapi anda semua jangan risau, dalam post ini mmg ada bahasa baru jugak. tapi kali ini dalam bahasa melayu pulak iaitu 'GEMURAHI'

Sejarah

Ada seorang kawan aku yang namanya dirahsiakan sedang dalam perjalanan ke Bali, Indonesia. Ehem2, Bali, whaddaya ethpect kan? Sah2 laa kota maksiat! (abes rr sape yg berkenaan kan?)

Maka, sebelum dia berangkat pergi menaiki air asia (je ke yang mampu?) tu, dia pun kol arr aku untuk meluahkan perasaan dia sebelum dia mati 'syahid' kalau kapal terbang tu terhempas kan.

(ringtone Pussycat Dolls 'Beep')

"Hye youuuu...~" aku angkat tipon dlm mood bimbo.

"Haa.. i kat LCCT ni," kata kwn aku tu.

"Haa.. bagus. apesal suara you laen mcm ni?" aku pun buat2 caring.

"Ntahlaa darl. I rasa gemuruh plak nk ke Bali. Tapi, wlupun gemuruh, masih berahi." kata kwn aku dgn nafas yg tersekat2.

"Aaa.. gemuruh berahi? Gemurahi?" pastu kitorg dua org gelak2 mcm pontianak skjp sebelum menyedari kami dah memperkayakan bahasa Melayu tercinta.

Yes.. itulah dia asal usul perkataan itu. campuran dari GEMURUH dan BERAHI. menjadik GEMURAHI.

Contoh Penggunaan

Perkataan ini boleh korang gunakan dalam pelbagai situasi yg melibatkan perbuatan yg korg amat sukai tetapi korg takut nk melakukannya. Contoh-contohnya:

1. 'OMG, gemurahi sangat I tgk donat tu. I takut gemok!' kata Ena sambil menouch-up foundation mukanya.

2. 'Aku nak sangat luahkan perasaan aku kat si (huruf ke-10 dalam ABC) tu, tapi aku gemurahi,' kata Jigo sambil makan donat yang sedang dipandang Ena.

yess.. itulah antara contoh penggunaan gemurahi. perkataan ini juga boleh diaplikasikan dalam unsur-unsur seksual tetapi memandangkan blog ini rating Umum, maka xbleyh laa kan. Sensitiviti kakak-kakak i perlu dijaga. hahahah

sampai di sini sahaja. selamat berbahasa. Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa!

A Word a Day!

Hye kids! Ismal is here with a new column 'A Word a Day' where I'll teach you guys new word to enrich your vocabulary.

And by the end of this class, you can easily use the word I've taught in your daily conversation! Amazing, right?

Alright, the word we're learning in this post is chesté (chess-tay)

Before we get any further with the usage and meaning of the word, it is very important for us to know the history of the word.

History

It started in a nice and cold Small Business and Entrepreneur lecture where Lina and I were talking before a foreigner came to the front to meet our lecturer, asking questions maybe. We can't help to notice how he didnt button that much on the upper half of his shirt (it wasnt just him I think, most foreigners do so) thus I made this comment;

'Oh, I can see his hair-chest!'

Lina and I were silent for awhile considering I mentioned a wrong term to describe all that ruffles coming out of the button opening.

'It's chest-hair, Ismal. Chest-hair' said Lina, with her English speaking diva flair.

'But, it's so hard to pronounce Chest-hair' I said, before I got the revelation. 'How about Chestair?'

'Ahhh..' Lina gasped as she always does. 'Chesté!' screamed (quietly) both of us. For some slight moment, we were hoping for Nobel prize for coming up with a new word. No, no. Not just a word, a cool and hip word!

Awwryte.. since we've known the history, origin and the meaning of the word, let's see the usage of the word;

Usage & Examples

1. 'No, I don't have any chesté!' said Lina defending herself from rumours saying that she's a man.

2. 'OMG, a squirrel can get lost in that chesté!' said Jigo, looking at Vicky while crinkling his nose, uglily.

So kids, don't be shy to practice our new word. If you can't get rich with money, you can always get rich with language! Until now. Adios! :)

'OMG, cheste is like the in thing rite now!' - Lindsay
