the classier f0dd3R

I saw a headline today, in my nation's leading english daily.
I wasn't too sure of the meaning of the word f0dd3R they used, and decided to look it up.
Mind you, i was surprised! It is given as (disapproving use) people or things considered only to have one use, as in 'without education, the children will end up as factory f0dd3R'. Seeing it as part of the sentence which had a man many regarded as my nation's Olympic hero and the site of 'the mother of all election', to be held very very soon, my initial assumption was anything but that.
I had thought that f0dd3R might maybe lean towards the meanings of hero or winning mechanism. With the new information, i tried to make sense of the headline again, and yes, suddenly it fitted perfectly.
f0dd3R is like the classier word choice if you intend to mean 'feed', not unlike the poultry feed, or chicken feed. And yes, that meaning, did slightly surfaced, when i was guessing what the author wanted to point out.
Well, Mr Olympic hero, it's better to be labelled f0dd3R than being label useless, no?
At least, you are rich f0dd3R, that is after tonight.
Who knows, they might even throw a title in bag as well, which will then make you one of the many titled f0dd3R in this country for the puppeteers running the show.

To the Olympics

In another 24hours, the Olympics is coming.
And where am I now? Sitting at home, doing nothing, except the occasional blogging and studying.
How I wished that I planned my time well, and am now in Beijing, trying to fight the thick smog from entering my lungs. Yeah, might be that I will be putting my life at risk, but for I personally think, it's worth it. At least, I would have the chance to watch and be part of the Games, in person.

To me, we should try to immerse ourselves in the lives of the world, as much as we can. We have this moment now, alive and conscious. Today we are here, but we never would know what tomorrow is like, or how tomorrow will be. If we are given that privilege of a tomorrow.

I'm a bit late, but now I want to try to live, a little more, do what I think that would make me happier, a little more, and but of course, the mother of all, be less critical of how I think people would perceive me in the choices that I make. My pessimistic thoughts are but my vice.

So now, I will do my best for this moment, that is to slave myself to the idiot box tomorrow night. With the least of interruption and the most of spirits!
To the Olympics Spirit in TV!!

spread the words...of Malay language..?

I was looking for the meaning to a word in an online source just now when I noticed it. My country's national language is not there! This source provided not just meanings, and various methods of pronunciation, but also a compilation of meanings from others sources, and the equivalent in other languages. If not mistaken, it gave the equivalent of the word in 16 other languages, but i did not see any Bahasa Malaysia. The translated local word was not available in Bahasa Malaysia, or Malay Language. And the next nearest language which the word had a translation is Bahasa Indonesia.
hhmmm....Wonder why it that so..

But certainly something for the country's linguistic experts and nationalism champions to look into, if they want to spread the words of Malay language to the world. After all, they always purport, Malay language could be the lingua franca of the world again, just like in the 16th century. Just need to look into the hows. Maybe could learn from our neighbours..

p/s: but, i blog in english...?
