Good girl, cursing lesson

Good girl has learnt her lesson.

Nobody expects me to drop some curse words into my language at least every once in awhile because of my innocent-looking yet naive. Remember when I once told everyone, like I literally know 1001 cursing words when things happen??? LOL SHOOT ME I LIED. I might let this one malay cursing word berlegar-legar dalam kepala otak and of course it is out of my knowledge. Because of this one word, I come to realise that I misused it on Instagram without knowing the exact meaning behind it. Malunyaaaa.

I was guilt-ridden at the fact that my most recent Instastory update was misusing the word 'palat' as part of instagram caption of my duo selfie photo of me and Ayu as I thought it got something to do with coffee thingy (?)

Kopi ku rasa palat,

Rasanya sangat kelat.

Ugh silly me.

Lain kali tolong buka kamus dewan, ok.

Dipendekkan cerita during the lab, I received a reply from Ayu, saying that the 'palat' word was actually dirty. So she asked me to remove the post sebab girl swearing isn't cool at all and never will be. Pastu, cuba try teka apa jadi?? Ayu pun tak tahu behind the meaning of 'palat' word in the first place before I decided to type it away on Instagram.

Ah sudah! Kami memang nubis when it comes to the word 'palat' to which it is one of malay cursing word used against people. WHAT. THE. FISH I just learnt the 'palat' word within 3 minutes ago from the most-followed instafamous then, I dare enough to use it openly on social media. Woah ain, you memang naif sangat sangat sangat :p

And apparently, during maghrib-isya prayer we, the housemates usually gathered around kat tingkat bawah to share what we have been up to in a day between classes.

"Aku baru tahu yg palat tu benda tak elok", kata seketul Ayu.

"Aku pun taktahu", kata seketul saya pula.

"Korang taktahu palat tu apa??", Pfffft after all this while, Kiera and Iman know the exact meaning of 'palat' ???

"Pasaipa hang tak tegur yg kami dah pandai mencarut sekarang ni?", kata seketul saya yang kelihatan sangat kereks.

"Yela kiteorg ingatkan kau memang nak mencarut pun. Hhahahahahha", lalu Kiera dan Iman pun ber'hahahaha'

Hihihi... honestly I had no intention of hurting others pun sebenarnya, apatah lagi mencarut sobsobsobs....the most important is that, I've learnt my lesson.

Math only math

by Ain Atiqah Tuesday, September 10, 2019 No comments

Just checked out my Whatsapp. Turns out my kid bro sent me some numbers of 23,540 minus 96 hundreds.

And garden math with fractions. Brinjal planting (?) But honestly, my eyes only caught the word 'SULIT' at 11pm. (Yes don't give that look when I'm the best-known for sleeping at wee hours of the morning) No wonder I smelled something fishy when I received the reply. Oh! Soalan maths UPSR rupanyer from my adek.

Apparently my kid bro, Amirul is struggling to finish the last leg of the race to the UPSR exam. By the time when he was about to take his maths paper, I was miles away from home to get into a thing they called studying (forgodsake). But you see, the problem with him is that, there's no one he can refer to when he comes to ask for his school worksheets. Except our other sibling, Anis. His three years gap older sister. She helped him, but yet still, he refers me just to double confirm his answer sheets.

So this time, he tends to analyze and compare his answers through all three phases by different people.

Phase I, he usually gets his math answers approved by some teachers at the school.

Phase II, he would get Anis to check them again, at home.

Phase III, the two siblings get through me to finalize the answers for approval via Whatsapp.

Aigooo kids these days.

Everything is only at your fingertips, adek3

So I ended up becoming my kid bro home tutor for 4 subjects (oh so fun)

"Monday would be BM"

"Then, BI should be on Tuesday"

"Oh yes, Wednesday is the Math Day!"

"And, of course we do Science on Thursday"

The best of all, I got ways to annoy him or to get him into trouble if he refused to listen to me— such a mean sister, is it. "You better read some books before I tell ibu or ayah that you're playing mobile legends. Remember, I'm your kakak" *evil grins*

But in all seriousness, my kid bro is undeniably underachieving at school however performed best in bola sepak & sepak takraw. On one more serious note, he even got invited to STL practices for Astro. "Aww bro, you're such a sports guy person but why is your kakak not even good in any sport??" Am I adopted?? omaigard!

As a kakak, all you want to do is to give him all the help that he needs from the beginning. So, here's the thing that I did. We got through all the syllabus in each subject and I prepared him some past years questions to allow him identified the style of UPSR questions. But then, he mostly would ask me for math questions. So why maths??
