This morning, I went out with my father to pick up the books from the country distributor and helped dad with our first batch of deliveries. Anxious to be one of the first people to read it, I quickly picked up a copy from the box as soon [...]

Today, I met Uncle Awang Goneng at the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). Awang Goneng (a.k.a. Wan A. Hulaimi) grew up in Terengganu but later on moved to London, a place so far away from his homeland. His beautiful book ‘Growing Up In Trengganu’ (originated from his blog -http://kecek-kecek.blogspot.com) was written to share with everyone about [...]

Last Sunday, Alam Akademik Sdn. Bhd. (my grandmother’s bookstore which is also known as Keda Pok Loh Yunang) organized a program at Sekolah Kebangsaan Padang Hiliran in Kuala Terengganu. The program started at 9 a.m. and ended at 11.20 a.m. It was held at the school hall. The program was attended by students from Year [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

[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 [...]

Both of my parents are from Kuala Terengganu and studied in Sultan Sulaiman Primary and Secondary School (refer to The Sulaimanians). And I’m proud to say that my father was once the head boy of Sultan Sulaiman Secondary School. Anyway, I was born and grew up in Kuala Lumpur; hence I am not that familiar [...]

Last weekend I learnt a few new (Trengganuspeak) words- ma’nga, pongoh and ‘ngamok. Ma’nga like solo bolo is also about being careless only that ma’nga is a habit of forgetting to do something while solo bolo is being extremely careless in doing things like running over something or knocking down things. But children who are [...]

Yesterday my little brother, Ahmad Ali asked dad if it will still rhymes if he change the wording in the ‘Pussy Cat’ poem to… Pussy cat, pussy cat, Where have you been, I’ve been to London, To see Awang Goneng. Dad laughed and said yes it’ll rhymes perfectly but only if we read it in [...]

Today I knocked down a jar of peanuts! I wish that am not so careless. I hate to be called ‘solo bolo’- that is a Terengganu word for being extremely careless. Even though my parents are from Terengganu, I neither can speak nor truly understand the Terengganu dialect- what a shame. Growing Up In Terengganu [...]
