Emma Watson in Malaysia

27 Jan – "Harry Potter" starlet, Emma Watson's presence in Malaysia had got Netizens excited when the topic of 'Emma Watson in Malaysia' started trending on Twitter like wildfire. Sadly, it was just a case of mistaken identity by a curious fan.

Apparently, a person who happened to be passing a duty free store at the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) Airport, spotted someone who was thought to be the British actress, what with the almost similar facial features and exact same hairstyle. Excitedly from a distance, he took a photo of the doppelganger and posted it on Twitter.

It took a matter of hours for the Twitter community to be rife with questions of the visit, however the speculation was unfounded as Watson's official Twitter page has not mentioned anything about her coming to Malaysia.

The topic of her appearance in LCCT arose again on local radio station Fly.FM yesterday morning when DJ's Nadia, Prem and Hafiz were discussing the matter. It came to a point that they contacted Watson's publicist over in the U.K who instantly refused to answer any of their questions and kept insisting that they send in an email.

The short conversation left the 3 radio DJs even more curious than before, which then led them on a hunt to contact 5-star hotels all over Kuala Lumpur but to no avail.

Watson is currently in U.S. to attend the promotional events of her latest movie, "My Week With Marilyn" which is nominated for two Oscars.

Buruj mudahkan pengenalan bintang di langit

Terdapat 88 sistem buruj di langit. Buruj sebenarnya adalah titik-titik bintang yang dikumpul dan dibahagikan serta diberikan nama-nama tertentu berdasarkan bentuk supaya mudah diingat. Ini merupakan cara sistem buruj mula terbentuk. Justeru, buruj ini sebenarnya bukanlah satu perkara yang benar. Ia sebenar adalah lambang khayalan ahli-ahli syair, petani dan juga astronomi lebih 6,000 tahun lalu. Tujuan sebenar penciptaan buruj ini adalah bagi membantu kita mengenal pasti jutaan bintang di langit. Semasa langit gelap, anda boleh melihat lebih kurang 1,000 hingga 1,500 bintang. Pasti sukar untuk kita mengenal pasti bintang yang mana satu. Malah sekali imbas, titik cahaya yang berkedipan di langit malam kelihatan sama sahaja. Oleh itu, beribu tahun dahulu, ahli astronomi awal telah membahagikan bintang mengikut kumpulan dan melukis gambar khayalan seperti kala jengking atau beruang, di sekeliling kumpulan bintang tersebut supaya mudah diingat. Bintang di dalam sesuatu buruj itu se...

The Social Network: Communicating in code

By Jim Emerson on October 2, 2010 9:43 PM | Permalink | Comments (48) "When an individual enters the presence of others, they commonly seek to acquire information about him already possessed. They will be interested in his general socio-economic status, his conception of self, his attitude toward them, his competence, his trustworthiness, etc. Although some of this information seems to be sought almost as an end in itself, there are usually quite practical reasons for acquiring it. Information about the individual helps to define the situation, enabling others to know in advance what he will expect from them and what they may expect from him. Informed in these ways, the others will know how best to act in order to call forth a desired response from him." -- from "The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life" by Erving Goffman (1959) Relationship status: Interested in: -- Facebook (2004) The actual Mark Zuckerberg is said to have taken fencing w...

Harapkan Pegar, Pegar Makan Padi

Today I’m going to talk about a rather important issue in Malay language; which is lost in translation of words from Jawi to Rumi. Tiada pagar makan padi. Tetapi burung pegar. Kesilapan berlaku disebabkan perubahan ejaan rumi daripada jawi. Namaku Si Pegar, bukan Pagar! Ha, nilah contoh burung pegar, atau dalam Englishnya berbunyi ‘pheasant’. Dekat Malaysia rupanya kita panggil ayam pegar, dekat Indonesia pulak dipanggil burung pegar. Tapi ayam ke, burung ke; kedua-duanya bertepatanlah dengan peribahasa ‘harapkan pegar, pegar makan padi’. OK, patutlah. Selama ni ingatkan pagar. Sebab tulah rasa pelik, kenapa pagar makan padi? Lagipun zaman dulu mana ada orang pagar sawah padi (ada ke? Rasa macam takde...). Rupanya orang maksudkan pegar. Pegar ni digunakan macam burung hantu lah agaknya. Kawalan biologi untuk membunuh tikus dan serangga perosak dekat sawah padi. Tetapi ketika mengharap burung pegar ini tolong makan tikus dan serangga di sawa...
