Seindah tiada lagi kau ku ingatkan Sayang kau hilang Menanti biar sampai akhir hayat ku di dunia ini
Kau tahu bertapa ku sayang padamu Hanya bidadari sebagai ganti Hanya takdir menentukan ia Oh belaian jiwa
Oh angin, sampaikan lagu ku padanya yang sedih pilu Terimalah lagu ku jadi teman hidup mu Untuk selamanya
Kau tahu bertapa ku sayang padamu Hanya bidadari sebagai ganti Hanya takdir Menentukan ia Oh belaian jiwa
The Orang Panjang (Longman =P) Contemporary Mat Dictionary
Gua [goo-wah] noun – What some mats and minahs use to call themselves. Similar in using “lu” when referring to others. A legacy that dates back to the times of Mat Rocks back in the early 80s.
A common trick that can be played on Mats is to ask them to translate the English phrase “Monkey Cave” into Malay. The mat will then say “Gua Monyet” (I'm a monkey).
Mat [mat] noun – To the rest of the world, the word simply means a Malay guy. But within the Malay community itself there is a growing disparity in consensus to its actual meaning. Popularly, it's used to denote a guy who converses primarily in Malay, as opposed to the more “English speaking” types. Favourites of the mats include tapered jeans, trucker caps and weepy Malay songs with sickeningly suicidal lyrics.
Matrep [mat-rape] noun – An extreme version of the mat. In addition to the usual mat accessories, a matrep will also come adorned with tattoos and matching body-piercings in weird corners of his body.
Minah [mee-nah] noun – An expression used to denote a Malay female. Derived from the popular Malay name, Aminah, which used to be all the rage some time ago. It was sort of the “in-thing” to name your daughter Aminah back in the 60s and 70s. In fact, legend has it that if you go to Geylang Serai market and shout “Hai Minah!” at least a quarter of the makcik population there is going to turn around and smile at you.
Picit [pee-chet] adjective – When a mat tells you to “picit” him, it does not mean that he is trying to be cheeky (or gay, if he is talking to a fellow mat). It simply means that the mat wants you to call him on his mobile. What were you thinking?
Relaksuah [ree-lek-soo-wah] adjective – Official slogan and life motto of the mats and minahs.
Sial [see- yal ] noun / adjective – A full stop in every mat's sentence. Eg: “Tadi aku nampak accident sial Rabak sial Aku tak bedek sial Kesian sial” Translation: Just now I saw an accident (full stop) It was bad (full stop) I'm not kidding (full stop) Poor guy (full stop)
In its purest form, “sial” means “jinx” but mats have refined the art of using the word to include it at the end of their every sentence. Also comes in the more polite form “siak” and “siul” for those who do not want to sound too crude.
Skank [s-kank] adjective - A favourite weird-looking dance performed by mats and minahs. Usually done at any of the various gigs that mats and minahs love to congregate at. At times, you do detect evidence of artistry in the dance but most of the time they just look like they've been possessed by the ghost of a restless retard.
Sowie [soh-wee] adjective – An expression of apology used by minahs. Commonly used in SMS and instant messaging. Actually they can just use the word “sorry” like every normal human being but minahs think that it will make them sound extra cute to deliberately talk that way. Example : “I will be late. Sowie!”
Step [se-tep] adjective – To beguile, dissimulate or impersonate something or someone that they are not. Also commonly used to describe a fellow mat or minah who acts in an arrogant manner. E.g.“Kau jangan nak step tak tahu eh?” Translation: Don't you dare feign innocence in this matter. Can also be used as a gerund e.g. “stepping”. See next entry.
Step Jambu [se-tep jam-boo] adjective - What minahs do when they are sitting alone in a train and a group of mats walk in. It is a general exercise where the minah “controls” her facial muscles and posture in a way that would make her look her best. This would usually involve looking incessantly at her handphone for no particular reason.
Stoppit [setop-eet] adjective – A general expression of intolerance and dismay. When a minah uses this phrase, be very careful for it signals that she is about to lose her cool or get very violent.
So,what do I learn from this dictionary?
"Lu jangan step tak tau lah eh. Gua tahu gua mat kental. Sowie ah,Lu mat-rep tak guna beb.Lu punya minah apa tahu,step jambu je. Lu tak puas hati lu picit sama gua. Mau brani je eh.
Apa?Lu nak nombor minah gua? Releksuah!"
..merepek.. (nasib baik aku mat kental. innocent beb. peace outz)
Here's wishing a belated happy CNY to all the chinks out there. Happy gaining weight.
On CNY eve,came back to xinmin sec to help out in the charity drive,which is to collect recyclable items from the neighbourhood and sell them off to get some cash for charity.Went to school with Atikah and met up with Li Yue and Hui Qi. Bruce overslept so ended up late. As I brought my car along,I volunteered to ferry the stuff from nearby blocks to the school general office area collection point. End up I drove around sending stuff back to school,it was a tiring but fun,in the name of charity. Ceh..
After that met up with Hazwan and we convoy-ed over to fetch Siswand,Wani and Zuli and had dinner at Al-Tazaaq Arab street. I had to go off earlier so went off at 4.45pm.
Thanks Zuli for bringing back my packed food,I was freaking hungry seh. Damn the car. Remind me to send you the pics.
Bruce brought up an idea for a night of fishing. I suggested driving down to punggol end and park my car right near the sea like the pictures from my previous post. Maybe we'll try after my exams. Anyone wanna come along? My car will be full,so provide your own transport.
Rough plans for the next gang chalet is being discussed. Final details will be disclosed on our next outing.
Nothing much to blog for today,basically slept the whole afternoon,the rain was great.
All I wanted was to enjoy driving. But yesterday was a bad day. Well I shouldn't have compromised safety,but it wasn't what it seems. Ngee Ann Poly was fun,the chicken cutlet at SIM rawked big time.
I'm sorry to Helmi and Fatin for giving both of you a big shock just now. We almost had an accident at Ang Mo Kio. We were on the way to my house to get some of my notes,travelling along Ang Mo Kio Ave 5. As my car has a sunshade,I didn't notice the near traffic light,my judgement went to the traffic light in front which was still green,I didn't brake in time when I finally realized the red light and motorbikes from the opposite direction were turning right. I had no choice but to jam brake and hold on tight to the steering wheel. The car skidded a few metres and managed to stop just in time halfway through the yellow box,barely missing the motorbikes. Thank God I didn't hit anyone.I reversed back behind the stop line.Alhamdulilah nothing happened. I let Helmi drive after that cos my hands were still trembling due to the close shave to disaster.
Maybe it was just me,too many things were going through my mind. Maybe it's time to be alone. I'll have my solitude drive tomorrow and enjoy the morning breeze of Changi Beach,revising Biomaterials in my car.
Till then.
P.S: I'm seriously missing you,and I almost thought I could never see you again.
