Have u ever felt like you have dissapointed yourself in this quest of living this life to the fullest. Much alike that sambal belacan u wished u didn't eat coz now it left you with foul breath. Yaiks! I'm amazed at how many times i have let down myself at this stage of life. So much to be done yet so little time.
Hah! Btw my new resolution would be 1) to be fit (stamina & endurance so to speak, hence i'll start jog this week 2) to speak more in english. Hey that has been my goal since form 4 -- huhuh i'm a late bloomer u see
Bugger! i find it very de-motivating when people (esp malay kids where i used to grow up in east coast) gave out remarks like "Piraaa..mabuk cakap BI konoon!". Maybe that's why i'm still lacking the confidence to speak BI esp @ public speaking.. talk about lecturing in front of hall-packed with audience. Hahah! Laughing at myself.
I dunno whether my chinese/indian buddies faced the same obstacle when the were kid.
Maybe not.. dat's why most of them able to grasp the core of the language and hence the knowledge that comes with it.. be it science & economy/business. Hey guys! we haven't got that 30% share of that economic pie.. so much for NEP ya.
Heck i'm jealous at the older malay generation, Tun Razak, Tun Haniff, Dr M, Musa Hitam, Tunku, Tun Ismail; they're all fluent in BI and look at what the Language/education policy that generation left us with (well not the names i fore-mentioned)... now i can't even write a bloody-good formal english letter. Oh! Oh! most of our politicians speak in english at home to their kids and many of them have their kids educated in UK etc... so their kids are safe huh. Last but not least kids in Damansara/hartamas/mont kiara would be ok too ya, but how about their second cousins who live in Felda Jengka or Padang Lebar would fare in that department.
So much for my new year resolution..
