1 Malaysia tak boleh 1 Bahasa?

Hello.

Just felt like sharing my experience of going to the Maxis Centre at KLCC today. I went there to pay my Maxis Broadband bill - one that I've not paid since August, primarily because I thought Maxis Broadband was no good since it gives me a lot more problem than it does give me access to the internet and I planned to pay for it when I want to cancel the broadband with them - Dude! I use Celcom Broadband now!

Anyways, getting back to the title. It's not a massive deal. It's just, when I went to the Maxis Centre in KLCC, this Maxis man greeted me. I appreciate him greeting me, but I find it quite strange how he changed his language whilst talking to me.

So, the conversation goes like this;

Maxis man:Welcome to Maxis. Do you need any help. (I looked pretty lost at this time)
Tiny me:  Oh. (Surprised) Hi, Where can I pay my bills?
Maxis man: Oh. Dekat kaunter no. 22
Tiny me: Kaunter 22? Kena beratur ke?
Maxis man: Tak tak tak. Pergi straight je. (Friendly-ish tone)
Tiny me: Oh ok. Terima kasih. :)

See what's so strange about the man? What? you can't? Come on, people! He started greeting me in English and then all of a sudden he changes the language after I answered him in ENGLISH? If you want to speak english so much, carry on speaking english til the end of the conversation! Grr. hehe. Only joking. ^^ It just made me wonder why. ^^

Oh well. I guess that's Malaysia for you. ^^

Note: I wrote this to share and because I think I've left my blog unposted for quite a while now. Sorry bloggy, I've been busy (eating and sleeping). T.T hehe.

Til next time, Salam and a good day to you! ^^

Islam's beauty

Just thought I'd share a poem I've written for a contest. :)

Islam's beauty

Islam's beauty,

Covers a lot more than covering the body.

It lies in modesty,

And modesty it teaches to society

Islam's beauty,

Cannot be sold for fame or glory.

Because it's not about the money,

It's not about being fancy

Islam's beauty,

Not many can see,

But have a think and have a peek,

You'll find its beauty once you seek

Islam's beauty,

Lies in believing in God,

The One and Only,

There is no God but He

Islam's beauty,

Is not compulsion of religion,

Don't ever bump into confusion.

To force someone to convert is completely forbidden

Islam's beauty,

Lies not in suicide bombings,                      

Or killing innocent human beings,

Those are fanatics with bias knowledge into being

Islam's beauty,

Can be understood from the Quran and Hadiths only,

Don't judge its beauty from the people around,

They're too worked up to have the beauty found

Islam's beauty,

Brings the world in harmony,

Only when it is applied,

That's the key.

Islam's beauty,

I'm sure you'll agree,

Needs no fee,

Just a heart that can see

  

Businesswoman - that's me!

Assalamualaikum and a good day to you! (good night to me supposedly - or maybe night since it's 2.23 am atm)

I know, I know. This should be the Malaysia VS England : 5 Reasons (Part 2) entry. But, as you can clearly see, it's not. The reason's pretty simple really. I was on my third reason and I got stuck. I guess I don't want to stay here that much then. LoL. No worries, I'll think of my reasons some other time, eventually, hopefully.

Since I've not updated this blog for a while, I thought it'd be a splendid idea (not good, but SPLENDID!) for me to share an entry which was my first on my different blog. Hope you enjoy it!

*****

Businesswoman, businesswoman.

I want to be a businesswoman.

It's difficult, I agree.

But no success comes for free.

The stress and anxiety?

That's merely the fee.

It won't be easy, as I'll see.

But that's the sweetness of it, you'll see.

Without the stress and anxiety,

How boring it'll be?

So yes - I want to be a businesswoman!

Hard or easy - it'll be just right for me!

So, don't worry.

I'll be fine, trust me!

Because hey,

I'm a businesswoman - that's me!
