Ni hao ma ??

Salam ..

Ok .. Last semester I took LAC 100, which is, Mandarin Language Level 100 (lowest level) .. Every student need to complete 150+ credit hour to graduate (4 year course), and for USM student, 3 units are for Ko-k (1 unit per sem), 'ability' course (2 unit or 1 unit, not sure, eg : guitar, scuba diving, drama, thinking thecnic [yeah, you need someone else to teach you how to think, lol]) and lastly foreign language (2 units).

So, I decided to take foreign quite a while (since 1st year) ... top options are Japanese and Mandarin .. I started to do some survey to seniors ... These are the outcomes of the survey ;



"If you want to get A easily just take Arabic, LAA 100. You definitely get A. Good for your pointer"



"Take language that people didn't take it, eg : Russia, German, France. Easy to get A"



"Don't take mandarin. That is the most difficult language that you wanna score"





Yeah, that from senior. From my batch, I would say that :





and



6 student from Chemical Eng 2nd year take Mandarin .. uhuhuh ... and 1 of them were myself ..

Wanna my advice for mandarin ?? Don't take it .. It's really hard language ... If you really wanna take it, make sure you have lots of leisure time to learn that language .. For me, in mandarin you have to remember a lot ... in other words, you must have language trait in your brain or memorizing brain ...

Mandarin is difficult because you don't have to spell it, but memorize how its look like ...

in Malay or English, u might to spell it to pronounce it,





so, every word in Mandarin have their own unique word (its shape), how to write, and even the sound have their own level of sound ... I don't have any idea, on how many the exact number of all word ... there are maybe 10^9 words ...

To make it clear, I have a simple software, (Thank you to Najmi, former roomate), called Wakan ... some sort like dictionary ...





As you can see there (just click on it for better view), I type 'hao', and, at the bottom, all possible 'hao' will appear ... note that, every at the a word, there is a line, that is the symbolic for the level of sound ... 'hao' that I mark meaning is good ...

So, a lot of thing you have to remember .. even my chinese friends said that, what we learned were a bit difficult for non-native speaker .... but my class was quite fun ... luckily Miss Khor Gek Suan, the one and only mandarin teacher in Engenireening Campus ... uhuhu ... she is cute ... heheh

and I like when she told us story ... for example the word for women, she told us, how the word transform from a liltle girl word to the housewife women word (the story quite long) ... Another story that she told us, were about her lecturer in UM ... she said, the lecturer are from Hong Kong, and his lecturer speak in Mandarin in lecture hall ... So, maybe the way that their speak will be quite a different ... and she told us, the student in class can't really understand what he talking about ... and wow, even mandarin speakers cannot interact each other .... lol

Then, I learn 1 new song ... (actually some kids song), thanks to Najmi also, who play this song for 100 times (maybe), till I can memorize it a bit ... Yeah, this song help me a lot, in pronounciation ... you have to pronounce it right or, mandarin speaker will not understand you ... Plus, this song like explain my condition in that time ... don't get me started about that ... so this is the song ...

Ai Mei By Rainie Yang (Ai Mei, ai is love, mei, I don't know ... lol .. but, my chinese friend explain to me the meaning ... ok, ready to read the meaning ? Ai mei ; is like someone that you like but you didn't sure, if he/she is the right person for you ... lol .. quite long eh ?)



Ok, these are the lyrics .. Taken from, er, didn't remember ... Sori ... but credit for the source ..

歌曲：暧昧



暧昧让人受尽委屈

找不到相爱的证据

何时该前进何时该放弃

连拥抱都没有勇气



Ai mei rang ren shou jin wei qu

Zhao bu dao xiang ai de zheng ju

He shi gai qian jin he shi gai fang qi

Lian yong bao dou mei you yong qi



Ambiguous let people feel wronged

Could not find the evidence of loving each other

When should go forward, when should give up

Even do not have courage to hug



暧昧让人变得贪心

直到等待失去意义

无奈我和你写不出结局

放遗憾的美丽



Ai mei rang ren bian de tan xin

Zhi dao deng dai shi qu yi yi

Wu nai wo he ni xie bu chu jie ju

Fang yi han de mei li



Ambiguous make people become greedy

Until waiting lost its means

Pity that me and you could not write out an ending

To put the regretful beauty



只能陪你到这里

毕竟有些事不可以

超过了友情还不到爱情

远方就要下雨的风景



Zhi neng pei ni dao zhe li

Bi jing you xie shi bu ke yi

Chao guo le you qing hai bu dao ai qing

Yuan fang jiu yao xia yu de feng jing



Only can accompany you till here

Afterall there are some disallow matters

Surpassing friendship still not reaching the love stage

The scenery in the distant location is going to rain



到底该不该哭泣

想太多是我还想你

我很不服气

也开始怀疑

眼前的人是不是同一个真实的你



Dao di gai bu gai ku qi

Xiang tao duo shi wo hai xiang ni

Wo hen bu fu qi

Ye kai shi huai yu

Yan qian de ren shi bu shi tong yi ge zhen shi de ni



Should or should not cry

Thinking too much I still think of you

I feel very inconvincing

and starting to doubt

Is the person in front of me the same real you

Ok .. Notice that, for word with 'q' you have to pronounce it with 'ch' ... and for 'x' is pronounce if u have a 'c' word ... eg, 'xi' you pronounce it as 'si' that much alike alphabate 'c' ... 'xu' is 'su' s with similar to c but not 'cu' ...

Mari menonton !!!

Salam ... saja je nak bg korg tonton2 video ... heheh

PATA PATA PATA PON !!

Salam ..

Yeah ... Due to my previous post, PON! PON! PATA! PON!, shorts explaination bout the PATAPON game.

Now, I wanna you all to experience with it. heheh. Wanna give a try ?

Click here. Plus, you can download it. This flash game is not exactly what you will play in PSP, but at least, you can experience a bit.heheh. I try to put the game here ok ..

Edited 2255, 2009 May 26.. Try to put the game .. Fail
Edited 2302, 2009 May 26 ..Try to put the game again with other method .. Fail
Edited 2307, 2009 May 26 .. Check the code again .. Yeay !!


Ok .. Just wanna add up few things about PATAPON 2 ... heheh ...
-in PATAPON 2 you can play multiplayer .. uhuh .. sweet stuff .. you can multiplayer up to 4 player and show of your very own powerful hero.
-So what is a hero? In PATAPON hero is the major winning factor. Without him, you will get no where. uhuh . Very powerful and you will 'design' it to make powerful. LOL. So in multiplayer, that I just mentioned above, you can show off your hero. In multiplayer mood, we can see who get the strongest attack.
-In this game, you really have to concentrate to the beat. When I played this game, I'm wearing an earphone, and really turned up the volume, till I can't hear my roommate calling me, while he standing mere beside me. LOL. Really have to concentrate.
-The thing I had the most is, the evolution map. Gosh, it is too complicated, to enhance your patapon army. Really hate this system but I agreed that this will make the game more adventurous. uhuhu..

Ok, enjoy with the flash patapon

Pernah anda terfikir ...

Salam ...

Pernah anda terfikir, yang sebenarnya anda bukan diri anda yang sebenarnya apabila berada di depan orang ramai, di depan kawan-kawan, di depan keluarga malah di mana-mana sahaja. Mungkin anda sedar yang, itu yang berlaku pada anda dan mungkin juga anda adalah orang yang yang di suka berbuat demikian kerana bagi anda berpura-pura itu tdak baik.

Pernah anda terfikir, bagaimana perasaan mereka yang di sekeliling anda tahu siapa diri sebenar anda. Adakah mereka akan menerima anda, ataupun mereka semua terlalu terkejut kerana kawan mereka yang di sangka baik itu, tidak sebaik mana pun.

Saya tidak layak untuk perkara-perkara tersebut kerana saya orang jahat. Anda tidak percaya? Kerana anda sendiri tidak tahu dan kerana anda pun sudah terpedaya dengan tipu helah 'baik' saya.

---------------------

Seorang kawan bertanya,
"Apakah benda jahat yang kau dah buat? Ceritakanlah kepada aku. Mana tahu, aku boleh tolong kau."

Kawannya menjawab,
"Kau tak kan faham apa yang telah aku lakukan. Tidak ada gunanya untuk membuat kau faham. Aku telah membuat sesuatu yang jahat. Membuat dosa"

"Apa yang kau telah buat?"

"Ah. Kau takkan faham. Ia lebih teruk daripada mebunuh. Lagi teruk daripada membunuh"

"Adakah kau telah memfitnah seseorang?"

"Aku dah kata kau takkan faham. Apakah beza orang yang melakukan fitnah dan orang yang membunuh? Orang yang memfitnah, orang yang menggunakan mulutnya untuk mengatakan sesuatu yang buruk kepada orang lain. Dan membunuh, orang yang mengambil nyawa orang lain secara paksa. Kau tahu kan apa itu bunuh?"

"..."

"Kau takkan faham"

Semester's Holiday

Salam ..

Probably I would received lots of sms, asking what are my activity during the holiday. So, I would like to share it now.

First of all, I would explain why I am in USM during the holiday. I'm being an editor and graphic designer for a magazine/magazine about my desasiswa (other Univ call it as Kolej Kediaman).This is for the new APEX student free gift. uhuhuh


My next activity, spent lot of time with my Peah ... LOL ... actually is my PSP .. ok, just bought it, few months ago (2nd hand, half priced, still good condition, phat PSP, and the most important is, PIANO BLACK) .. try to finish my favourite game .. uhuh ... So, i finish PATAPON and PATAPON 2 (old post at my old blog : PON PON PATA PON), other game, er I forgot. LOL. Now I'm playing Final Fantasy : Crisis Core (Actually I already finished this game). But, not 24 hour with Peah, cause we are human, and human still need to social with others.

All in all, don't worry, I'm still going back home on weekend (some weekends) and planning to stay at home on 3rd week of June (maybe). That's all

Ta-da-da !!!

Salam ...

Finally, after countless recommendation of my friend (Dark Light) to make a proper blog, I made it at last.

Before this blog is created, I'm posting blog at :


Yup! At friendster's blog. uhuhu . Because, at first I thought I want to make just a simple blog. A blog that just have a function to post a blog (yeah everyone knew that). But later, people's demand expanded,I'm not excluded and that happened to me. I realized that Friendster's Blog doesn't have any extended function. So, long story cut it short, ta-da-da. Here I am.

So, the title of this blog is 'Reminiscence | iPai'. Yeah, maybe it's quite lame. But, that is the only name that suit for me (maybe). I don't have an extreme poetic part inside of me to find a bombastic word. uhuh. So, why I choose these name? Yeah, I think it's reflect the purpose for my blog and it is different that I have at Friendster's Blog 'The Way Of My Life'.

Ok, for older post you can just click at that hyperlink and have a read.
Ok. I have to go now. Dr. Afta waiting for me for the presentation of Prestige 3rd Edition. Yeah, later I will tell you about it.
