This is so true for me as well… I’m one of the KDM who uses the Bazaar version of the Kadazan Language… How sad is that??? And they say “Jangan Salahkan Ibu Mengandung.” Well I am blaming my mom for my incompetence. Now she’s doing the same thing to my son… I have numerous times requested mum to speak Kadazan to my son but no she speaks to him in English… duh betul…

I can utter a few words of Kadazan and that’s about it… I have no sense of its grammar at all… I attempted to speak Kadazan during my wedding reception thanking my mom for all that she has done for me but I don’t think I successfully conveyed my deepest appreciation to her because my Kadazan was ‘tunggang tabalik’… Looking back, I think my mum just nodded her head without understanding what I blab about and accepting the bouquet of roses that we presented to her… dang…

I know that hope is not lost for me. I can always enroll myself in such program as this. I’ll make a promise that I will but someday…

My leave application has been approved: yeah… I have my long awaited ME-time tomorrow. I’ve longed for a facial and a thorough session of mani/pedi… that’s the reason why I’m here doodling my thoughts in the virtual web as my mind is already on tomorrow. There are thousands of stuff happened since my last entry: when was it again? Yeah about almost a month ago… tomorrow April of 2010 comes knocking. Life has been really good to me. I’ve been a busy wife, mom and employee… I wished I could jot down everything that had happened for me to look back, reminisce and maybe laugh about the experience and the lesson learnt but I’m just plain lazy now… I’ll let you know one thing: I’ve come to my own conclusion that I actually don’t give a rat-ass about what people outside the circle of my life think about me… gossips and hearsays are often hurtful but why want to bother? I should have followed my gut instinct and just don’t bother because the more I explained, things worsen *I felt* so it’s muc...
