Nama Panjang n Nama Pendek

DAY 4

Started out CB classes at 9 am……….all DELTAs were divided into 8 groups. I’m in the CHEETAH group…..such a lame name…….. There’re 2 Indian girls, Malar n Kavitha, 4 Malay girls Zana, Izzaty, Wana n Wani…….. n me THE ONLY CHINESE GIRL….. while the other groups, they have at least 2 chinese girls…….. y like that one?? m I the left out ? I wondered.

We started introducing ourselves to our new friends…. ….kinda boring……..n the NAMA PANJANG n NAMA PENDEK problem comes again…. I was sitting beside an Indian girl. She started introducing herself : ‘Hi, I’m Malarvili, u can call me Malar……..what’s ur name? r u from penang?i’m from SMK TENGKU PUAN HABSAH....... blahblahblah’

- Oh, hi. I’m Hui Fang. Yup, I’m from penang. m from PCGHS…….-

- so, what’s ur nama pendek? Hui or Fang?

- Er…….”what la? hui or fang??? No one calls me Hui or Fang b4. I remembered my f3 Chinese teacher called me Yee Fang… …..termakan the Hui …Swt“……Actually I dun hv nama pendek…….just HUI FANG or my surname YEE…….-

I think Zana over heard our conversation n she suddenly turned to me n asked : ‘Tak da Nama Pendek??? …I panggil u Yee? ok? …..hi saya…**********……..cnt remember her actual name, it was quite long………I tau u tentu tak ingat nama I , nama pendek I ZANA…….’

haha…..ok now I know y they have nama pendek …..easier for ppl to remember n recognize them…I’m glad that we, Chineses' names aren’t too long n hard to remember…..

Teardrops of sorrows

teardrops
is a sign of fragility
it symbolizes feebleness
that was what i used to have in my mind.
sorrow
has been part and parcel of life
gloomy-days will always come
downcast is inevitable
all these years
life has proven to me that shedding tears isn't a solution to problem,
no matter how much tears i've shed,
stockpiles of them are still there waiting for me
Now,
I'm 'immuned' to sorrows,
I've casted a shielding spell that'll protects me from woe
teardorps of sorrows will never be alive
this i promise myself
it'll never invade my life ever again.
