Kencing Manis dan Inspirasi / 1:59 AM

Okay just ignore the title, was totally random. It means diabetes and inspiration. Anyway, today is Afina's birthday and at first I forgot about it until I looked at the calender and realised. So I sent her this poem in malay which was not totally original. While thinking of how to wish her I remembered this person's puisi (malay poem) about time and I used the first line from that puisi. It's seriously the first time I wrote such things. I guess my malay is improving a little as I speak more of it and actually read malay literature. It's starting to pull me towards it. Anyway, the puisi I wrote isn't good. HAHA! It just sounds funny. But Afina is about my standard in malay so I guess it's a good thing that I'm unable to write extremely beautiful and difficult malay poetry. Ahh well, she licked it anyway and is gonna post it on her blog. It's only one paragraph of like 5 or so lines so I guess it's not really a poem but I really would want to learn more about malay literature though. It's like this whole new world for me because I've never seemed to want to read it in my early secondary school days until the end of Sec 4 I think. I remember I tried to write emotionally for malay O's after reading a sample of Farhana's essay. My marks for malay composition changed for the better almost immediately. So I guess through writing emotionally, you get emotionally attached to whatever you're writing and the language you're using.

Oh and I got to watch Towkay Wayang at Victoria Concert Hall with Syafiq and Farhana last night at 8pm. Errmmm... in a word the experience was kinda disappointing. But hey, I don't wanna give a review about it here because I'm no professional. I'll tell whoever who wants to hear my point of view. So yeah. Ask and you shall know, keep quite and you wont. haha. The internet is a very public area, doing it here is like shouting in the middle of orchard road. Or worse.
