Santai: Inside my head ...

Sepanjang minggu ini, antara perkara yang terngiang-ngiang di dalam kepala otakku adalah dialog Sharifah Amani di siri akhir cerita Sindarella (yang daku loosely quote...)

"Kenapa kita kena cakap orang putih sedangkan kita berdua orang Melayu?"

Dan, daku memikirkan, lucu juga dialog itu.

Dan, setiap kali daku ke kelas sepanjang minggu ini, semacam mahu meledak sahaja tawaku apabila memberi lecture di dalam bahasa Inggeris. Lucu kerana - daku Melayu, pelajar Melayu, tinggal di Malaysia dan kena berkomunikasi dalam bahasa asing!

Don't get me wrong. I am in no way against the use of English in teaching. Dan, daku menyokong juga PPSMI ... walau sedikit tidak bersetuju. Itu cerita lain lah.

Tapi, itulah yang berlaku ... daku rasa lucu. Dan, daku mahu ketawa-ketiwi (adakah gandaan begitu) sepanjang minggu ini.

Esok, kita bercuti ... sempena birthday ku ... Ya, bergembiralah anda di hari lahirku ... hahahaha!

Happy birthday dear. On the English issue among Malays. I do not find anything wrong or anything to be questionned about regarding the use of English. I would go for it. English is an international language. To me personally, with English I am able and will be able to survive anywhere in the world. Teach your children and make them use English in their daily lives, you never know they'll thank you for that somewhere in the future.

Thanks for the wish.
Well couldn't agree more ... but, I think sometimes we are too much when come to English. Anyway, that's another issue ...
Just wondering if Malay language still the lingua franca ...
