In Trengganu, we like to ‘cicoh’ (dip) when eating; we ‘cicoh’ our food in our drinks, curries, gravies, soups, dipping sauces and whatever that could further enhance the taste of our food. In my last post; ‘Cicoh Part 1‘, among others I wrote about ‘buoh ulu cicoh Milo’ (a Trengganu sweet cake dipped in Milo) [...]

In Trengganuspeak we have two different words to describe the different manners of dipping. If a person dip just a small portion of (for example) a banana (pisang) in honey (madu); in Trengganuspeak we name the dipping process as ‘cicoh’. So we’ll say ‘pisang cicoh madu‘. But if a person dip the whole banana in [...]
Trengganuspeak 4 (Spiking)
Posted in Trengganuspeak on 25/07/2008 | 2 Comments »
Dad often talks about the influences of foreign languages especially English and Arabic in Trengganuspeak and I love to guess the original words from which these Trengganulize words came from. Dad pointed out that Trengganufolks speak English (Trengganulize, of course) everyday without realizing it. It seems funny that even though we speak very little English [...]
Delicious Pulok

I love ‘pulok’ or pulut (glutinous rice) and so do my siblings. Among my favourite pulok dishes are ‘pulok gao nyo‘, ‘ttupak sutong‘ and ‘pulok lepa‘.
‘Pulok gao nyo‘ is glutinous rice balls coated with shredded coconut. I like to eat my ‘pulok gao nyo‘ with ‘ikang panggang‘ (grilled fish). In my hometown Kulala Terengganu, ‘pulok [...]

Mom came across an interesting article titled “Posh, Becks ‘bad example for kids’” and said that I should read it. (a similar one from the Guardian UK)
The article started by ‘LONDON: David and Victoria Beckham are the leading icons in a damaging celebrity culture that encourages children to believe they can become rich and successful [...]

I love ‘ikang singgang’ or ikan singgang in standard speak; and I guess so do most of Terengganu folks that I know. The singgang soup or ‘kuah singgang’ is so tasty that mum has to cook extra rice whenever she cooks the dish.
In our family ‘ikang singgang’ should be accompanied by ‘ikang panggang’ (grilled fish), [...]
A Smart Boy Learning To Count
Posted in Family, tagged Ahmad Ali, Khalifah, Khalifah Institute, Pak Cik Saidi, Prof Muhammad Al-Mahdi on 12/07/2008 | 3 Comments »
My little brother Ahmad Ali loves watching advertisements on television. Well, not only did he watched them but he also tried to understand them.
One day he told us that he was puzzled over one advertisement. The advertisement shows a boy (who was supposed to be smart) came home from school and when asked by his [...]

A year ago I would be stunned if somebody were to tell me that I’m going to write on the subject of Trengganuspeak as I know almost nothing about it (please refer to ‘Solo Bolo’). It was Uncle AG’s (Awang Goneng) GUIT (Growing Up In Trengganu) that started my interest to learn Trengganuspeak. Thank you [...]
Crimes And More Crimes

Today, picked pocket, snatched theft and stealing are considered as a part of our everyday lives in KL (and also other cities and town in Malaysia). It is very unfortunate that more people are getting so ruthless and commit crime openly.
A few months ago someone smashed the window of my aunty’s car. The car was [...]

[this is the revised comment as posted at Uncle Awang Goneng's blog]
Wow Uncle AG, that is another new Trengganuspeak word for me to learn. Neither my parents had ever mentioned it to me before.
I have been “trying” to write some notes about Trengganuspeak too at my blog: Trengganuspeak and Trengganuspeak (2).
But definitely not to challenge [...]

Last Thursday Atuk (my grandfather; please refer to ‘a letter to Atuk‘) was discharged from Ampang Putri Specialist Hospital (APSH) after been warded for 6 days. Alhamdulillah; he is much healthier than he was in this past 3 months.
Now Atuk is able to eat normally and does not need his feeding tube anymore! And Nenek [...]
About Myself
I'm currently 14 and I am homeschooling. I'm supposed to be in Form 2 but I'm currently studying Form 3. My favourite subjects are Mathematics, Science and Computers Studies. I love to sketch, write poems, collect stamps, coins, bank notes, stickers and seashells. And my blog is where I write about myself, things that goes on around me or things that I wish to share with everyone :)
