• No more gas in the rig, can't even get it started.

  
  Harro!
  
  Today we will address the age old issue of "OH MY GOD MY BM IS SO CRAPPY!!!"
  Yeah, I'm sure you're quite sick of hearing this but it's my blog and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry if I want to! You would cry too if it happened to you.
  
  I bet. If BM were as coveted as French or Spanish or Japanese or any other foreign language deemed cool and "glamorous" by many, I bet all those who claim to have crappy command of the Malay language would be tumbling head over heels to flaunt their fluency.
  
  Kenapa? Tak percaya ka?
  
  Haha. I'm so mean.
  C'mon lah! It's not a difficult language lah! The syntax is DEAD simple, no female - masculine, nonsense. No complicated subject + verb agreements, no weird tenses. It's by far the easiest language in the world! Out of the four languages I've learned, BM is the easiest! Although that does not justify the grade I got for my BM paper back in school. Of courCe, I was a lazy student and hated the teacher and the school but that's not the issue!
  
  My point is. It's a shame to see so many people not know how to speak their mother tongue properly.
  
  *sings that Rammstein song with the "this is not my mother tongue" snippet in her head*
  
  The Chinese say "My Mandarin is crap shit." The Indians say "My Tamil is dead rusty." The Malays say "My Malay is like taik lah." Why can't we learn from our Indonesian cousins? Or our Thai neighbors (today we Amelikan a bit oke)? Let's not consider Singapore coz I am really not sure what their mother tongue is. Singlish?
  
  So anyways. It's a shame to say that you have really poor command of your mother tongue. It is still essentially a language and having a good command of any language these days is a huge asset.
  
  Therefore ah chirren, before you go sashaying off with your fancy American or European accents, please go back and beef up your mother tongue!!!
  
  That aside, I am in a bit of a kerfuffle. I'm trying to translate "mobile magazines" into Malay. So far I'm stuck with "majalah bimbit". My mom says it sounds logical enuff to be legit but it sounds so friggin' odd to me!
  
  And the other thing is... major eeyeuw alert.
  Zach Effron, the faggot from teen soft porn "High School Musical" is gonna replace Orlando Bloom in the next Pirates of The Carribean movie!!! Gross! Oh so I guess, this means Vanessa "I'm so nasal" Hudgens is gonna play his major squeeze as well la then? Gag. Might as well call it "High School Musical - The Neverending Cruise". Afro Boy AKA Token Black Kid can jump rope on the decks and Androgenous Girl With Hat can lug her piano along and whip up a tune whenever she fancies. Then Blondie With Attitude can do her whole "burr-burr" routine to scare off the enemies.
  
  Gag me and call me Marty lah!
