When one is snowed in, one is kind of trapped. Trapped in the beauty of the landscape. Trapped in a nice cosy toasty house. Trapped in one's own mind.
My world is however wide open despite being trapped in the house. My computer is on and I am able to go anywhere i want to so does my mind. Get connected. I went blog hopping following link after link and what i discovered was that I am actually living in my own rosy little world.
My culture that I hold high, my people, and the melayu I know is not the same anymore. I went to blogs written by melayu that write in the language that I never thought that it was possible by the "polite" Melayu I used to know. the cuss, the curses, the language that i dare not use in my life are rampant. Have I lost the melayu that i love?
The melayu i find in the blogspehre are so different than the ones I knew. There are some that i feel ashame to be part of or associate with. I tried to rationalise that some people want to express themselves with words, but there are beautiful words that can send the same message, not needing to curse one's own mother for that.
I am so much sadden with this that i thought this whole thing is because i am being snowed in. However when i go to other blogs and forum and i read the comments, i feel that many that left comments (bad ones) are either losers or insane.
I went to a famous malysian singer blog and I could not believe all those curses there. They find everything to curse her. are these people real?

Thank you for dropping by my blog and the condolences. I do appreciate a lot.
You don't really need to post this. I just want to say Thank you.
you are welcomed suriyati. Look I posted this long before I read your blog.
mutiara, I share your sentiments. I dont understand the new malay lingo at all. May be we speak a different language kut!
Mutiara,
This is nothing to do with your entry, but I'm responding to your question about baulu's recipe. I'll ask Kak N the recipe. I'll let you know when I get it.
Note: Type Pad is having some technical problem.
Kak Sal :
Those who swears, uses bad languages and curse in the blogsphere to make a point, or even casually - more often are timid social pariahs in the real world. I came across many of these *profiles* as I move along as a blogger.
Sadly - the need to acknowledge oneself and feel superior over others are peppered with such language that could make a sailor blush.
