Jangan Jadi Separuh Pungkok

Sedang Danny menikmati pemandangan indah di Gardens by the Bay selepas mengambil gambar Faiz, datang seorang lelaki tua menghampirinya. Dengan senyuman ikhlasnya yang mengingatkan Danny kepada arwah Tok, Danny membalas senyuman itu.

"Aaaa, puh-lizzu," tutur lelaki tua itu menghulurkan handphone-nya kepada Danny.

Oh, nak ambik gambar..nihon jin tabun (orang Jepun mungkin?) getus hati Danny.

"Okay, sir, smileee! 1,2...Okay!"

Danny ternampak iPhone itu mengandungi arahan dalam bahasa Jepun. Lantas, Danny dengan yakinnya,

"Sashin, mou ichido, oji-san?" (Gambar, satu lagi, pakcik?)

Danny menawarkan diri untuk mengambil satu lagi gambar untuknya.

Lelaki tua itu kelihatan terkejut, dan senang mendengar bahasa ibundanya dituturkan lelaki berkulit sawo matang, atau cekelat, di hadapannya.

"Ooo!! Hai, hai, mou ichido, onegai shimasu!" (Oooo!! Ye, ye, sekali lagi, minta tolong ye?) balas lelaki tua itu.

Apa eh, orang Jepun cakap bila ambik gambar? Se no (Sedia)? Ichi ni (Satu dua)?  Danny memerah otak cuba mengingat kembali. Dia menyumpah dirinya yang selalu half ass dalam belajar bahasa asing. Tak pernah sampai fasih, cukup dapat menangkap maksud dalam sebaris ayat.

"Hai, se....no! Hai, dozo oji-san no kamera!" (Okay, sediaaa....okay siap. Nah kamera pakcik (tak ingat handphone apa masa tu, patutnya cakap keitai))

Danny cuba bertutur dalam bahasa Jepun walaupun dalam hati tak yakin mana.

"Hai, honto arigatou gozaimasu! Honto ni, arigatou!" (Ye, bebetul terima kasih. Terima kasih sangat-sangat!)

"Iie, iie. Domo arigatou, ojisan. Jyaa ne." (Takdak papa la. Terima kasih, pakcik. Byee)

Danny langsung dah lupa tertiba sopan dan adab pabila bertutur dalam bahasa Jepun sebab beliau merupakan seorang half ass dalam belajar bahasa asing.

Jangan jadi seperti Danny.

Habiskan apa yang anda mulakan.

Finish what you started!

Danny dan Faiz cuba untuk mencuri masuk ke atas The Canopy tapi ditahan abang sado di lif, lantas dimasukkan ke penjara....

We start with... Penang!!! 5 hours after I reached Penang, I was busy helping my dad cleaning up the lawn. hehehehe..good boy! =P Later, me and my parents had nasi kandaq! Quite a heavy meal for breakfast, I know but thats pretty common in Penang, regardless of your colour skin. If you are a Penangite, you cant care less if its heavy or not. What you know is the food is gonna last you until lunch hour for another round of nasi kandaq or maybe some other meals.. The boys, back then it was still school holidays..thats why they only wake up aroun 9 -11 am... lazybums..

Reconnect: My Journey Back to Blogging

 Hello, fellow travel enthusiasts and friends of Malaysian adventures! It's been an incredible journey, one that saw me take an unexpected hiatus from blogging for more than three years. Life happened (more like COVID happened) —responsibilities, changes, and personal growth—but one thing remained constant: my love for exploring the beauty and diversity of Malaysia. With power to put Dillan on my back, comes great responsibility! Today, I'm excited to announce my return to the world of  blogging. It's a bit like revisiting an old friend and reminiscing about unforgettable experiences. As I dust off my keyboard and sift through the memories of past travels, I can't wait to reconnect with all of you and share new adventures. Reflecting on the Past During my hiatus, I took the time to recharge, reflect, and embark on new journeys, both physically and emotionally. I've explored different aspects of life, including my passion for raising awareness about autism, delved de

Hang Tuah The Animation?

Woah, woah! Read this at beautifulnara about a three way agreements signed by Japanese anime studio Gonzo (Blood: The Last Vampire), Malaysian animation studio Funcel and Malaysia's National Film Development Corporation to produce Hang Tuah the animation! The protagonists....maybe? The antagonists...look so.. It sounds cool to me at first but I am being a bit skeptic about having non Malaysians to make an anime out of this legendary warriors, Hang Tuah and his friends. What more, I wonder are the voice actors gonna be Japanese too? I remember watching Silat Lagenda. That was awesome for our technology that time. But I think I shouldn't be all negative about Gonzo studio animating Hang Tuah because it's a collaboration....I think? Well, you guys can read more here and here . hehehehe
