[[ COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ]]
Like every other human being on this earth, I have been greatly misconceived. This here is a clarification of sorts; not because I wish to purge myself of the great injustice done due to these misconceptions. It is more because I enjoy being "in your face" (r...i...g...h...t...)! Heh. Nah, that's not true. This is just a space-filler of sorts.
1) Childish, I am definitely not
Be warned! I have this child-like aura about me that, more often than
not, deceives a mere on-looker. I will have you know that this is a part
of me I display but when it comes to being serious, I know the
circumstances and rightly exhibit them.
Try walking all over me. Try putting me down in public. Try shitting on my
head. I'll take them all in my stride. But go too far and you'll just have
to bear the wrath of my words (and sometimes, my punch). No, I am not your
typical submissive
tudung wearing lady (read
this
for a better understanding). But, yes, I'm nasty only to the deserving ones (and when circumstances call for it). I am an angel every other time.
2) Pride, arrogance, haughtiness and what-nots
Right, so I come across as proud or arrogant or haughty or what-have-you. Please let it be known that I look like that
only when I do not smile. However, please do not expect me to smile 24/7 just so
I do not come across as arrogant. I'm sorry, that's just the way I am. I don't want to be mistaken for a lunatic and be hauled off to some undesirable
place (even if it's only in your minds). Yes, that happens sometimes; this is what you go through when you live in a country where (most of) its citizens are suspicious of friendliness and the likes of it.
3) I know my roots
Contrary to popular belief, I know my roots. Surprise, surprise! So what if you
seldom hear me speaking in Malay? I was brought up in an English-speaking
family so as not to lose out later in life. I CAN speak Malay; I just
don't do that so often.
At least I don't go around PRETENDING to have an English accent or using American
phrases. At least I celebrate my own religion's festivities and not some
other customs'. At least I still wear my Malay traditional costume as and
when needed. At least I am proud to be a Malay, which is more than what I
can say for some people I know.
Well, those are about all I can think of for now. Feel free
to send me an
e-mail should you have any other
queries or need further clarifications.

My Diary - An avenue for updates on my life. Oh, that and my regular ramblings too.
My Blog - A backup; in case Diaryland decides to be a pain. It is also for random thoughts that I deem too short, incoherent or insignificant to enter into my Diaryland Diary.
- For your shout outs; it pretty much works the way a tagboard or guestbook does. In case you are not aware, it pops up as another window.
[[ ABOUT ]]
This homepage started off as a school project for one of my computer subjects and I have never looked back since; mainly because I got quite a good grade for web page designing.
That was in 2001 and then I discovered just how tiresome maintaining a website was and subsequently
left this homepage to rot a year after I'd published it. Nevertheless, my interest in web designing came forth when a few friends of mine had
requested me to make a template for their blogs/diary. That was when I
remembered this neglected site and decided to revamp it and voila!
That was in 2004. I subsequently got sick of the design of my webpage and left it to rot once again; this time concentrating more on my
Diaryland Diary, where I updated with frightening regularity. [//edit: I've since moved to
Livejournal.]
So today, I was bored at home and decided to revamp my webpage once again. Hopefully, this site will be maintained properly this time (not that there is any maintenance needed, actually).
There you have it. The history of how this site came to be. Not the best but it'll do for now. Ta!

My writings are not an exhaustive representation of the person I am. It is just a part of me that I share with the world. My private self is known only to those who know. Therefore, proceed without making your negativity known. I am only human; I prefer all things positive.
