Ideal Son-in-law

Every parents' wish for a daughter is to marry someone who will take good care of their daughter. During our parent's time, what is the criteria for an ideal son-in-law? Is it
A. rich, handsome, same religion, older than daughter
B. old rich grandpa with many mistresses
C. somone who flatter the parents
D. someone who can make her happy

How many parents nowadays can say that as long as my daughter is happy with the guy, we won't object? Maybe only a handful. Parents will always have something against the guy because they are protective over their daughters. They want their daughter to have a perfect and happy marriage. They are afraid if their daughter choose a particular guy, she might regret it because he is not good enough for her or she deserves better. They expect their daughters to listen to them because they are more experienced, they have gone through it... They don't want us to make the same mistakes..
So, where do we as daughters draw the line? Who amongst us (daughters) dare to say, "Look, I really trust and love this guy and I am sure of my choice. I am going to marry him no matter what!" Do we choose love over family? Do we honour our parents or do we trust in our own judgement? Are we willing to take the chance and face its' consequences? Do we learn from our mistakes then or is it too late?
I for one seriously don't know...

Lost in translation

Hypothetically, imagine this, you are someone who only knows BAHASA MELAYU and was dumped in a country where all the movies apparently are screened in English or Chinese or Tamil, meaning other languages and you have to depend on subtitiles. So, let's say you're in a cinema watching this comedy thriller movie (eg scary movie) and you are laughing your guts out watching the show because of the stupidity of it and you came across this in the subtitle "pembunuh bijirin"! What the heck? Serial Killer was literally translated to "Pembunuh bijiran"??!! Is it just a typo or part of the movie? What if it was a super scary movie like for example "The Silence of the Lambs"? If people hear you sniggering in the middle of the movie, people would think you are enjoying the killings "a little too much" and consider you a psycho killer ie "Pembunuh psychotic".
Imagine reading this line "Pembunuh bijirin telah berjaya melepaskan diri dan disyaki sangat merbahaya. Dia telah didakwa terlibat dalam beberapa bijirin pembunuhan seperti Kellogg's Cornflakes, Coco Crunch dan Honey Stars."


The newspaper this morning was talking about this. Cutie pie was translated to kuih manis!

"Oh, kamu semua kelihatan sungguh manis seperti kuih manis!"
Help us all...

Please take note, it was a boring cold afternoon in Batu Pahat and I was fed-up of correcting my portfolios.. sigh..

Breaking Open Your Own Door for Dummies

This morning I was rushing to get my portfolio printed. So, I took all my stuff and shut my door. At the sound of the click of my door, I realized I left my KEYS inside!! Arrgghh! *Shitz! What a dummy!* First thought that ran across my mind! Then I remembered someone telling me that you can use a card to open the locked door. Okay, I analysed and tested it on an open door while wondering how the heck does the whole system work. Interesting... Let me illustrate it..

First, choose a soft plastic card. My makro card was finally useful!


Ok, next use the soft plastic card and try to "selit" it through the thin crack near the knob. Needs a lot of "maneuvering" and more bending of the card. If all fails just push hard hard!!


Apparently, the whole lock system was designed to be able to break open! What the... You know the door has a thingy sticking out at the side of it? Well, when you lock the door, you can't open from the outside but the thingy sticking out can still be pushed in! *Amazed*




Now you guys can go try it at home! hehe To make it more fun, time yourself!
Ps: Don't practice till it become like this laaa
