Memahami erti di sebalik kata-kata seorang wanita


Ada masanya bila wanita berkata2, apa yang dimaksudkan bertentangan dengan yang dikatakan dan ini boleh mjadi sebab bagi masalah dalam phubungan. Mahu tak mahu kita mesti mengaku dgn jujur bahawa berkata sesuatu secara jujur dan jelas lebih menguntungkan. Di antara perkataan2 yg disebut wanita (termasuk la yg menulis ni jugak) dalam komunikasi tapi erti sebenarnya mesti difahami dengan rasa melalui nada suaranya ialah:

1. Pergilah kalau nak pergi..
2. OK lah kalau macam tu.
atau,
Tak apalah kalau macam tu, nak buat macamana.
3. Fine.
4. Terima kasih lah banyak-banyak.
5. Tak ada ape-ape.
6. Tak ape, tak penting pun.


dan ada beberapa lagi..sempat nanti kita sambung sebab masa dah tiba utk saya check nasi lemak dalam pressure cooker tu..indicator dah bunyi.. oh ya erti disebalik kata2 lelaki pun ada, tapi saya fikir, satu saja yg saya pasti iaitu "Tengok lah macamana" hehe..ok jumpa lagi.. :-)

Beat these five enemies.. Get to know three FUN and important advantages: 1. An immediate channel to the marketplace to market products and services directly to family, friends and neighbours 2. Offer superior services to customers. Distributors provide personal service, product demonstrations and the convenience of home delivery 3. An opportunity for anyone to own a business

The greatest enemy of oneself is one own self. Not others. They are:
1. Fear of Failure vs Keep Trying even for the 10th, 100th, 1000th 10,000th of times...
2. Worry vs 100 minus 92 minus 8 minus 4 possibilities...
3. Our Guilt vs Other people's Guilt
4. Feeling of Unworthiness vs Grace of God
5. Feeling of Insecurity vs Belief and Stability

This entry is a retrospection. I am slow. That's OK. *I will continue to do what I have started the best I can. The only thing I am sure of now is that: I can... I will... and I must... although I am slow... and I am late... but I hope it is never too late...

Misplaced modifier:
*I will continue to do what I have started the best I can.
--> I will continue the best I can to do what I have started.

Diamonds are made under pressure.


 
There are times that you feel you have so much work to do, you have lack of sleep and rest, you press on because you know what you want and you want to achieve what you aim. You must go on because however hard things are, there is also ease -- God has promised that with hardship, there is ease.. Inna ma'al 'usri yusra. So you must never never never give up.
And you must remember, whatever happen, JUST DOn't quIT.

Chai yok vs Jia you - Add oil, or get your private part steamed?


Add oil, or get your private part steamed?

I had been wondering why a number of my students, friends and cousins used the word "chai-yok" to replace "good luck". Much similar to my guess that it must have come from either Japanese/Taiwanese/Korean/Mandarin dramas, later I found out that this phrase comes from a TV series, which I don't watch. 

I thought that this is a wave of language fashion and would eventually fade and disappear and would be replaced by other. But no. As time goes by, I noticed more people are using it and I thought I felt sick of hearing something used so extensively while I still didn't know its meaning. From the contexts it's being used, I knew it must have meant "good luck" or "do you best" or "break a leg" or something to that effect. What makes me sick is that why replace these phrases you're familiar with, with a foreign word when you neither speak that language nor know any other words in that language? I donno but I have a weird feeling that this word is not used in a right way so to feed my curiosity, I decided to find it for myself. I searched, "What does Chai Yok mean?" and this is what I found: It is Jia You, literally means "Add Oil" http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=50701&st=140
When I searched for a popular phrase used in a drama that means "good luck", I found this "Jia You"
So if the phrase "Chai Yok" ever exists, what does it mean? This is what I found, and I was so shocked!! Moral of the story: Learn a foreign word properly before using it.  http://www.google.com.my/#hl=en&source=hp&biw=1309&bih=606&q=chai+yok&aq=9&aqi=g3g-s1g6&aql=&oq=chai+y&fp=1afb4df9905ff92b
