Mundane,boring stuff....No Need To Read

1. The Dissapointment Of The Year

I was soo looking forward to this when suddenly....No Disneyland For Johore!..Kua..kua...kua..(why do I suddenly sound like XiaXue?)

2. Movie Review : X-Men 3

There are 2 kinds of believers in this world;Those who believe in the Creationist Theory,ie the universe was created by an Intelligent Being and then there are those who believe in Evolution.Primary 3 Science tells us that animals adapt to their respective environment,eg ducks have webbed feet for swimming and polar bears have a thick layer of lard to keep warm.However,in the world of X-Men,wah kaoz! the writers tried to be scientific and states that humans may read each other's minds,control the weather,walk through walls,control metals,all in the name of Evolution.A bit far-fetched,dont you think,considering the fact that even I cannot grow an extra body part to carry out my duties more efficiently as a husband and father.

3. Lessons In Malay Language

People, I need some enlightenment.
If,
burung - berkicau
ayam - berkokok
kucing - mengiau
harimau - mengauma
perempuan - meng-"ohyes ohyesss!" -- [nolah... there's no known distinctive call-sound for human]
Then,an itik and lembu - meng[what]?
I know cow moos and duck quacks in English, but what's the Malay equivalent of their characteristic noise?
I've been asking some of my Malay friends, but none of them seems to know the answer. Any of you know anything?

Speaking of that, I wonder why do we have to distinctively name each and every sound made by different animals. Why bother? Like, there are literally countless of species of animals on this planet. How are we gonna remember all of them?
I strongly feel that we should standardize a common word to describe all the animal sounds. Forget quacks or clucks or moos or roars. Just slap it with something that's easy to remember, maybe like... hoody-hoo.
- I kicked the cat so hard and high, that I can hear it's hoody-hoo fading off like an ambulance driving off. - That dog can't seem to stop hoody-hooing at each and every passing vehicles. - She has been hoody-hooed by her mother-in-law for the whole week, that's why the moping. - Belerang jantan tersebut menhudi-hudihu sepanjang hari untuk menarik perhatian aweknya

How convenient! If only that could become a reality...
