an experience that i really hated
giving a handshake seems so difficult for some people. let alone smile and a simple hi. what's so difficult with putting out your right hand and give a good handshake to the people around you. i believe a handshake can do a lot of things. a friendship starts with a handshake. maybe for some, a simple hi and a smile would do the job.
the way you shake hands with another person shows your sincerity. if you give a handshake for the sake of giving a handshake, hug for the sake of hugging, i think you better stop all that. no use doing certain things without any sincerity. just like a hypocrite.
a quiet person? a snobbish and proud person? there's a difference between these 2 people.
Cikgu Aliman Hassan once said, "apabila awak bersalaman dengan orang lain, hulurkan tangan kanan, salam dan tarik ke dada. ini menunjukkan ketulusan dan keikhlasan."
see how cultured malays are. a lot of our culture are not put into practice. the modern world has taken into us and we tend to forget all these things. i heard of malays who proudly said "i'm not good in my malay, i prefer speaking in english." i was disgusted. i was wondering why can't one be equally good in both? what is going to happen to Bahasa Melayu one day? pupus dimakan usia? My lecturers are a good bunch of examples. They can speak in malay and english very2 well. my friends, they are equally good in both. my bf, he is equally good in both too. i am so proud of you people.
let's do some reflection...
"siapa lagi kalau bukan orang Melayu yang mempertahankan Bahasa Melayu?"
