Those news really got to me.

Housing projects undertaken by unlicensed housing developers? 195 cases of them?

I set myself to post 1 entry per day as a record of my learning curve on Japanese, but when I see the news on newspapers, I just had to post some more on the web. This had to be in Malaysia only. How could they go on unchecked until like forever, because I do not see any action from the government, no mention of the list of those unlicensed housing developers, no mention of how to bring them to justice. Just nothing.

STOP LYNAS 4.13 is coming, and the words on the street in Malaysia is that General Election is coming this June. Now this kind of well now you know kind of news, and the street lamps along Jalan Kepong, near Jaya Jusco Kepong is out for nights, I guess the GE is not a strong enough motivation for the government to pretend they are doing something.

Even general election is enough as a motivation. I guess The Najib is firmly believe he will rule indefinitely, and the GE is only a shame. After all, if he happened to lose the majority seats, he can always call the state of emergency and round up all the people he wanted to round up anyway.


沒準證也能蓋房子？見到今天的報紙，忍不住要上網貼文。

反萊納斯4.13快到了；民間傳說國會改選要在６月舉行，甲洞佳世客外的路上的路燈壞了好多晚，大選也沒法子推動政府改善報務。
沒準證也能蓋子，這是上星期的大人物的專題會議上披露的。上星期，４月０２日才在報紙上看到？而且到現在也沒看到政府打算怎麽對付這種局面。大選也沒用的。

只在馬來西亞。納米級人物只能自求多福。

Another 'in Malaysia only' news.

Now I am getting to know the interface of blogger. I did not know how to use a lot of the features before, but as I posting more entries on my blog, I started to familiar myself with the features. So I made more tuning to my blog.

Malaysians were killed in car-bomb explosion in Haadyai, south of Thailand, and so far Malaysian seemed pretty calm about it, no high ranking officials made any public warnings or announcements on tv or anything other media. What is wrong with them? Only in Malaysia, right?

I just mesmerized another Japanese word.
tameiki ため息　ためいき

Made in another country at the souvenir shops

I just hit the local souvenir shops. Those at Pasar Seni, Kuala Lumpur, I mean. I was a little surprised to realised that a lot of the shops there actually carry the stocks from Indonesia, Thailand, and China. Now, who is not made in China?

But to have them in souvenir shops, passing as souvenirs from Malaysia, this is still disturbing to me. But then again, who make those souvenirs in Malaysia anymore? Unless you go to those stalls that sell the customized mugs, plates, that sort things.

A little sad, but now souvenir out-sourcing is the way in Malaysia too. And souvenir out-sourcing is not in Malaysia only.

Back to my Japanese study.

I just learned that there is 2 kind of readings for kanji in Japanese:

On-reading (on-yomi) and Kun-reading (kun-yomi).

On-reading (on-yomi 音読み　おにょみ) is the way the kanjis were pronounced when they were introduced to Japan from China, as it happened during Tang Dynasty, like in really ancient time, the pronunciations may be quite different from Standard Mandarin today.

NOTE: For the kanjis developed by Japanese, they have no on-reading.

Kun-reading (kun-yomi 訓読み　くにょみ) is a kanji that has its meaning being associated with the native Japanese reading. Or to put it in another way, 'native Japanese sentences are written in Kanjis, and their readings had been associated with the actual way the Japanese sentences were spoken.'

The Kun-reading (Kun-yomi) is the native Japanese reading associated with the meaning of a kanji. 

 還真的要有恒心。今天還是在皮毛的皮毛階級。

Why the news are always reported differently in newspaper in different languages?

Whatever the situation is, a self-motivator will always soldier on.

自動自發，有毅力的人是會繼續下去的。

今天的每日一字的日文是
愛
在日文中是
愛する
あいする

母は
ははは
的問題有人回答了。
是用母は，因爲幼稚園已會母這漢字了。

Last night saw it on the news that blasts hit Thailand's south. My googled result of the news came out with contraction strories. While the website of Chinese dailies in Malaysia said all the blasts appeared to come from bombs, then one English daily reported it was gas explosion at Lee Garden, Hat Yai. Today all the news media reported they were all blasts from bombs. This is really irritating. No way to know the true situation for sure. Only in Malaysia right? No quite, this time, as I looked at bbc.co.uk, it did not even mention the Lee Garden, just blasts hit southern Thailand.

The bad internet connection is really crippling my study.

I set myself the target of learning a word and a phrase in my Japanese study, but due to the bad internet connection, I could not get online, until now. And there is no way I can get a reliable connection. The wi-fi is signal is so weak, and the bandwidth is so slow, I was disconnected frequently. Sigh. 　頑張って　がんばって。

本來是爲了練中文打字的速度，才建立這部落格的。當然也是因爲看到這第一次見到的馬來西亞獨有現象，想認自己記得。但現在想記録自己學習日文的過程，逼自己學習。可是這馬來西亞上網的速度～龜速。加上 wi-fi 常斷線，我今天現在才上網。自己對自己說加油。

Checking the spelling, again.

As I continue with my online Japanese lessons, I realised that I still have problem remembering the exact Japanese spellings of the greeting phrases. So I repeated them here.

お早うございます
おはようございます

こんにちは

今晩は
こんばんは

お休みなさい
おやすみなさい

さようなら　or　さよなら

初めまして、どぞうよろしくお願いします。
はじめまして、どぞうよろしくおねがいします。

すみません

どもうありがとうございます

Japanese is a subject-object-verb language.
More than enough to memorized in one day.

Back to my 'This is in Malaysia only' theme.
Now the money is on GE will be held in June. So will Jalan Sultan be demolished before that? Or demolished after GE? Did not read or hear much about any new activities to protect Jalan Sultan lately.

The 2 photos were taken on the night of 5th Feb. Just a few yards away from the old kopitiam where the celebration of Chap Goh Meh was held. So what excuse the riot squad had to disperse people? It was not a demonstration, just Chap Goh Meh.

The riot squad were present at a festival celebration, this is in Malaysia only, right?

這兩張照片是 ２月５日晚在蘇丹街那老咖啡店再下去的路上拍的。紅豆冰和他們的車。

在馬來西亞才會這樣的吧？只不過是文娱晚會，也要出動紅豆冰？政府太過敏感 了。

還是蘇丹街是拆定了？怕你看不懂？

The work of Malaysian Chinese, who else?

It was the 4th day of Chinese New Year

 It was 26th Jan, 2012 A.D., the 4th day of Chinese New Year. I went to check if this bakery was opened for, as it was the 4th day, most Chinese would open their business. But it turned out this year most businesses were closed on that day. On my way to the bakery, I saw this garbage can, and I just had to take some pictures of it with my phone.

Not following? What's so special about an old garbage can? Look at the blown-up photo at bottom, the bottom of the garbage can was burnt through, those big holes in the bottom, is the result of some people throwing lighted firecrackers into the can. And the pile of litter beside it, the used firecrackers. Now, just how many garbage cans were burnt this way?

And who the Malaysians will point their fingers at? Malaysian Chinese. I mean, who is going to believe this is the work of other races?

This happens in Malaysia only, right?

１月２６日大年初四拍的，現在在硬碟看到，終於貼上網了。
初四那天看到那垃圾桶，真的忍不住要拍下來。桶底被炮竹爆開了洞，那麽多炮竹的紙屑在一旁，實在有一種那天晚上到底燒了多少炮竹？我如果在場，會不會被炸死的感覺。
只在馬來西亞發生，應該吧？


Back to my daily Japanese lesson.
I learned another new word: ukeru 受
Keep learning. One day I will post in Japanese.
