Malaysian Theme Week Discussion Thread II (Read LAST post for most updated info!)

[vunsin]

Alright, here's part two! :excited: I was sick of people NOT reading the latest posts in the old thread and their relentless attempts to annoy me by consistently mentioning the FIRST ever theme week we'd ever done, like back in May, just because it was mentioned in the FIRST POST of that thread! :shifty: Duh... :worry: I was sick of hearing about FRUITS, FRUITS, and more FRUITS! :wacko:

Okay, end of my complaint. Let's proceed with discussions about our current and future theme weeks. :tongue:

For those who're unaware, we're currently having our Malaysian DeepaRaya Theme Week from November 11 - November 18.

You guys think I've made this idiot proof now? :shifty:

[Alias]

E-Ping Nah not in Malaysia. I was from KL but currently living in NZ. Miss Malaysia so so so so much :'( Especially the shopping!! Crazy about shopping! :-)

kimberly_sqy Thanks :D

vunsin I have been here for the last 6 years .... and only went back once about 3 or 4 years ago for one month...... :cry: so miserable............ but oh welll...... it makes me appreciate Malaysia more i guess :happy:


Hey suggestion for another theme week... not sure if it had been on before (the last thread too long to read through...sorry).... but how about theme week of Malaysian artists??? Oppurtunity to promote them too!! A chance for us to contribute a bit :excited: Hehhe. What u guys think??

[kimberly_sqy]

Vunsin Jie: God, I'm still use to calling jie this. Hahaha. Hope you don't mind. Thanks by the way.

Mein: Hahaha, I wont. Otherwise I wouldnt be back. =P

[E-Ping]

Yay yay!!Here we are entering Part 2 of our theme week discussion thread! :bounce:
Lol..vunsin jie, great job for putting the "read the last post for updated info!" :laughing: Hopefully,no one will go like "oh fruit theme is great..i'll choose durian etc." :whistle: And actually i'm kinda tired of saying "the fruit theme was so so yesterday!" :tongue: lol.

Alias: That's a nice idea, but i think we cant have it next month coz the forum might be having a x'mas theme? (not sure though,just guessing coz we had it last year too).But i cant wait for our next theme! :wink2:
More ideas,guys! :tongue:

Kimberly: :Welcome: back!Wowww...havent seen u posting for sooo long!I've missed u. :D Glad u participated in this deeparaya theme.I love ur banners!They're really nice. :happy:

[vunsin]

Alias: So we're kinda in the same situation. :tongue: Well... "Artistes" had been suggested before, but I don't remember the reason why we didn't do it. Actually, I suggested the idea and I'm still interested in it! :tongue:

Kimberly: That's totally fine. I'm happy to see you again. :happy:

E-Ping: Can you imagine what I'd do if somebody does that again? :shifty:

[kimberly_sqy]

E-Ping: Hahaha, thx so much. *hugs* I missed you guys too [and jaychou too of cause] other wise I wouldnt be back, I'm kinda fed up with forums after what I gon through my school unofficial forum. Seriously I totally understand why Vunsin Jie were so tough on noobs like me back than.

VunsinJie: Gosh, I would not be 50 feet near this place if someone did. Serious!

[vunsin]

Am I really THAT bad, Kimberly? :rolleyes: You haven't even seen the worst yet. :tongue:

Anyhow, let's get back to the topic of THEME WEEK. :whistle:

[kimberly_sqy]

VunsinJie: Hehehe.. Right, get back to the topic..

Btw, are we gonna have a X'Mas theme week like E-Ping mentioned. Oh I do hope so, it'd be so much fun.

[E-Ping]

vunsin jie: Lol..hmm..i cant imagine what u would do if some newbies mention about the fruit theme again :laughing: They better becareful or else... :shifty:

kimberly: YES i've checked the calendar and we're gonna have a forum x'mas theme week.It would be really fun.I participated last year's x'mas theme..and it was really fun seeing all the people had santa and christmas tree on their avie/banner. :laughing:

[une_topaze]

Can we send a box of durian to the next newbie who mention fruits??? :shifty:

So are we going ahead with the Fave Malaysian Artist? To tell you the truth, I don't have any fave local artist... :sweat:

[E-Ping]

Can we send a box of durian to the next newbie who mention fruits??? :shifty:

:lolabove: Durians?Haha!I thought u always go for rambutans :tongue: .Lol.

Hm..i'm not really familiar with Malaysian local artistes.Let's see..i know Penny Tai,Fish Leong,Michael and Victor,Ah Niu (cow :laughing: ), Nicholas Teo...and ermm that's all i know. :shy:

[vunsin]

I don't know. If we do a Malaysian Artiste theme, I guess I'll pick Penny Tai.

[akane_chou]

Penny if you're going foor chinese, Guy Sebastian if u r looking for westerners...haha.... he was klang, i think.. *oopss...im lying to my bf again, i just told him that i want him more than Jay and that's d world's biggest lie*..anyway, Penny or Wilbur Pan...love his Wuha mv...

[kimberly_sqy]

E-Ping: Oh yay! That would be so FUN! Cookies anyone? Hehehe

If we proceed with that theme than I'd choose, Too Phat. Local right? I admire their talents. So I'd choose them. WILBUR malaysian ar? I never knew that, thought he was from Taiwan. =s

[une_topaze]

So you guys are doing Local Chinese artist??? I was thinking about Siti Nurhaliza, Ziana Zain(those people) rather than the chinese ones >< Don't forget Z-chen, he's rather famous in Taiwan now!!!

Other local artist will be Reshmonu (I love his songs), Teh Tarik Crew, Poetic Ammo... *blank*

[chizzu]

Fish Leong will be my choice. her new album is nice.

[E-Ping]

Oh gosh..i was excited about this theme that i had forgotten that we could actually choose Malay artists like Misha Omar, Ziana Zain etc. :shy: Hmm..anyway,if we're really going to do this theme, i'll pick OAG (my fave local band-their songs are super cool :love: ), but i'm worried that i would have a hard time searching for their pics... :sweat:
By the way, i dont think Wilbur is from Malaysia :sweat:

[mein]

i'll go for siti nurhaliza!!!... :excited: i like her songs very much...thou i think her old songs are much more better... :sweat:...i like Purnama Mengambang, Aku Cinta Padamu, Cindai, Percaya... :rolleyes:

[King Aaron]

King Aaron: Selamat Hari Raya to u too.Um..dont u wanna join us in this DeepaRaya theme week? Hehe.

I guess the DeepaRaya theme week ended. :happy: Well, I'm not too good at banners, if the next theme week is Malaysian artists then maybe you could help out? :D Oh, if it's non-Chinese artists then I'd choose Siti Nurhaliza too. Haven't seen anyone mention Vince Chong (AF winner) or Nicholas Teo.

[vunsin]

Penny if you're going foor chinese, Guy Sebastian if u r looking for westerners...haha.... he was klang, i think.. *oopss...im lying to my bf again, i just told him that i want him more than Jay and that's d world's biggest lie*..anyway, Penny or Wilbur Pan...love his Wuha mv...
I know E-Ping already pointed this out, but just in case THAT goes unnoticed... :rolleyes: We're talking about a MALAYSIAN Artiste Theme Week, and Wilbur is Taiwanese American. :rolleyes:

[une_topaze]

Perhaps we can decide the time for our latest theme week and let Vun jie change the thread title again. I see Deeparaya will be the next Fruit topic for newbies :shifty:

You guys wanna go it before 15th of December, coz I think we gonna have Christmas Forum Theme week sometime after that day. It's either before christmas or in January.

[vunsin]

une, don't jinx it! :shifty:

Just a reminder (and I guess new info for those of you who don't know about it yet), I'll be gone from Dec 12-23 on a road trip. *donttellthenoobies* :whistle:

[une_topaze]

*knock on wood for the newbies sake*

I think we should start in January. New year, new month, new theme week. I think most of us will be away because December is holiday month. I won't be here from 21st Dec-26th Dec, and will be kinda busy with my exam in the first two weeks of December.

What do you say Malaysians?

[may_510]

urm.. although I didnt really participate in this before, but I have an idea for the theme.. :happy:

since Jay will be coming to Malaysia in January, why not have something to do with him? :happy: like err, the moments of anticipating Jay's concert or counting down to Incomparable Malaysia 2005?

sorry if that's lousy, this idea suddenly popped out~ :rolleyes:

[vunsin]

I'm trying to FORGET the event! :rolleyes: He's coming to the US and I can't even attend his concert. :oops: So I'm not exactly in the mood to "anticipate" his concert in Malaysia. :sweat:

[une_topaze]

May, you can do a personal Jay's Incomparable Concert in KL banner like some other the other members. So far all of our theme week are specifically Malaysian, in the sense that even fellow Malaysians living overseas feel connected to it. I think I will make pre and post Incomparable concert banners in January. ^^

[chizzu]

lol. i think we stick with the Malaysian Artist 1st. and by the time near the concert, we only do the pre and post Incomparable to Jay in Malaysia ones. :bleh:

[Alias]

hey guys.. im back :wave:

i still think that malaysian artist is a good idea :excited: it doesn't really matter which malaysian artist we choose... malay, chinese etc. as long as they are malaysian. it will be cool... i think.

man.. seem like everyone/most people are having holiday this xmas season! me on the other hand only have 2 days off christmas day and boxing day... and thats it. its sad :wacko:

oh well...

[vunsin]

I'll be gone from Dec 12 to Dec 23, so maybe early January would work better for our next theme week?

[mein]

Erm...so our theme for jan is favourite malaysian artist and jay's incomparable concert will be the next?

[kimberly_sqy]

I guess so.. I better book first.. I'm picking Ruffedge for my artists. They're malay/english artist.. I think I'm picking them over Too Phat. Bleh. I think the Incomparable Malaysia 2005 theme is a good idea. Too bad I don't think I am going to the concert.. So Vunsin jie, I'm feeling you.

[une_topaze]

*cleans cobwebs in the thread, blows off the dust*

Now, it's been more than a month since anyone posted anything in here, so let's discuss our first Malaysian Theme Week of the year!!! :excited: We already have a theme (Fave Malaysian Artist) so let's agree on a week to display our banner, okay??? 5th -11th February? Plenty of time for those who wants to celebrate post-incomparable concert banners and Valentine day (if your usergroup have plans for it :wink2: )

[mein]

woohoo!..i agree...well, i choose siti nurhaliza as my favourite malaysian singer..is that all right? :happy:

[une_topaze]

Mein, of coz you can do Siti Nurhaliza. She's a Malaysian, right?? :D

Here's what you guys wanna do so far (yap, not so many participants :sweat: ) :
vun jie: Penny Tai
kimberly: Ruffedge
chizzu: Fish Leong
E-Ping: OAG
Mein: Siti Nurhaliza

I still don't know whom I gonna pick, because I have to look for the pictures... >.< I hope the others will say something soon.

[E-Ping]

Hey..finally this thread is revived!5th-11th February is ok for me..in fact i am going to be really free during these periods coz my exam has finished and i will be on holiday! :excited:
Hm..ok i will stick with OAG right now, but i might change it if i couldnt find their pics.It is kinda hard to search for their pics coz i dont think there are websites dedicated to them :sweat: Gonna try and search for it later.
Yea there arent many participants..where are the rest of the Malaysians?I havent seen some of them here for quite sometime. :?

[vunsin]

Thanks for reviving this thread. :sweat:

I hope more people will join us soon.

[ocy]

I'll join, since I'll be having my holiday :excited:

Ok...:hmm: let's see, who shall I pick.... I didn't know many local artists:P err, I think I'll pick Victor-Kwan Liang. Or did I mixed that up :? I'm confused with who is who, between Kwan Liang, Pin Kwang. :bleh:

[vunsin]

ocy: Guang Liang is Michael and Pin Guan is Victor. :tongue:

Anyhow, I'm wondering how come nobody mentioned Chinese New Year? It's on February 9, right? Should we do a CNY theme first? :hmm:

[E-Ping]

I think CNY theme is quite fun too!Maybe we should have that first before doing the Msian artists theme. :rolleyes: What are the rest of guys think? :rolleyes:

[chizzu]

can :bleh: but i tot there should be a forumwide celebration? like christmas and halloween last year :wink2:

[vunsin]

Yeah. There should be some sort of forum-wide celebration like the previous year, but I want to do something Malaysian. I mean, show the others how Malaysians celebrate CNY. :wink2: Besides, I don't want the artiste theme week to clash with the CNY theme, so...

[une_topaze]

So we have a CNY sub-theme??? I'm in but how to Malaysian-ized CNY?? Is there a difference how we celebrate it in Malaysia and in China?

We can do the fave artist Theme week after the forum wide Valentine's day theme week :happy:

[vunsin]

I don't know... do whatever you guys want to do. I don't mind. As long as somebody participates. :sweat: Sorry I changed the topic. :cry:

[une_topaze]

*performed CPR on this thread*

Poor vunsin jie, we left her feeling guilty :sweat:

Well, I just wanna know if you all still interested to do our first theme week of 2005??? Otherwise, I'll tell Vun jie to close this thread :shifty:

[vunsin]

*sigh* What's the point? It seems like everyone's left the Malaysian forum. :cry:

[E-Ping]

I swear, when i was about to go to bed yesterday night, this theme week thread came into my mind, and i thought of coming by here to see whether we're going to continue witth our plan of doing the Malaysian artist theme. :shifty:
I think we should really start having a theme week coz we havent got a single theme week since the beginning of year 2005. :sweat:

[une_topaze]

I admit that I'm spending very little time in the Lepak corner :sweat:

Please come back peeps and give your feedbacks on our first theme week of the year. Don't tell me that Jay's recent confession made you all turn away from this forum :cry:

[Yue Anne]

Talking about Malaysian artiste, hmm it can be anyone from any races, right?
I like Misha Omar, reasons? ---> Her voice is superb! brilliant! excellent! :rolleyes:
and oh not to forget our Malaysian Idol -----> Jaclynn Victor! :excited: woo hoo! I think she is as good as Fantasia Barino [ hope i get the spelling right~ ] oh maybe even better. Hehe
And I like z-chen's songs as well! :angel: oh He is FIsh Leong's cousin, is that right?
Both cousins are doing perfectly well in loads of places such as Taiwan , and of course Malaysia as well. Good for them !
and do you people know Nicholas Teo, ?

p/s :Hope that I'm in the right forum. hehehe

[vunsin]

This is the THEME WEEK thread, not the actual ARTISTES thread. There IS a Malaysian Artstistes thread though, and it's just a few threads further down.

[ocy]

Yue Anne, are you trying to choose an artist for the theme week? Seems abit like that in the begining of your post, but lost its direction in the end.

Anyway, March seems to be free, if we want our 1st theme week of 2005 ASAP. So, how bout it, fellow Malaysians, early or mid March?

[E-Ping]

Yue Anne--> Pick an artist and join us for the theme week! :wink2:

March is ok.By the way, just want to confirm with you guys, are we going to do the artist theme?I hope we are, since i've already had my banner and avie done.I did it yesterday coz i was so free and bored when the forum was down <again>. :-) And oh, i know i had chosen OAG, but i changed my mind to doing a Too Phat set.They are not yet chosen, right?I had to change it coz it was hard to find piccies of them. :oops: There was only like one or two piccies of them. :oops:

Anyway, just in case ya'll want to do other theme, it is ok with me.I can make the set again. :wink2:

Oh well...the rest of the fellow Malaysians, where are you?We need your feedbacks!

[Yue Anne]

I apologize. hehehe :shy: :shy: :shy: :shy:
Now I get it, I have actually posted the wrong thing. Sorry about that. :shy: :oops: :happy:

This is open to all the Malaysians, right?. I know I'm being silly again. hehehe :sweat:
Hmm I picked Z-chen . So I'm supposed to ready the banners and all then.
Forgive me , hehe still a noob. Not so familiar with this thread. hehe :sweat:

[vunsin]

I made my set ages ago too! :laughing:

So who's doing what now? It's been so long that I can't even remember. And most people aren't even here anymore. :oops: I guess it's okay even if two person pick the same artiste. Their sets will look different anyhow. :tongue:

First week of March is fine with me. I'll be on Spring Break that week! :roll:

[E-Ping]

Here's the updated list:

vun jie: Penny Tai
kimberly: Ruffedge
chizzu: Fish Leong
E-Ping: Too Phat
Mein: Siti Nurhaliza
Yue Anne: Z-Chen

I wonder if Kimberly and Chizzu still remember this theme week. :sweat: Hope they'll come back soon.

vunsin jie--> Spring Break?Aww..that is so great!My new semester started today. :cry: I wanna be on holiday! :cry:

[vunsin]

E-ping: You had CNY holiday, I did not, and you dare to complain? :rolleyes:

Anyhow, I doubt those two are coming back for this theme week. :sweat: Btw, I've added it to the calendar. It'll be from March 01-08.

[chizzu]

i remembered! just that i was a bit busy with work lately :oops: sorry for my absence in this forum. btw, i got a job! i juz finished my diploma and now working as web designer

[vunsin]

Yay! chizzu is back! :excited: I'm so happy to see you! :excited: And congratulations! Although this should go to the Lepak thread... :whistle:

So, have you had the time to make your set for the theme week yet?

[chizzu]

yea. searching for Fish Leong Pics now :wink2: i lost all my pics last time coz my hard disk gone.. my mp3 collection, my pics, and most importantly, my HARD WORK!!! Gone!! :cry: have to redo

[vunsin]

Wah... :cry: It must be so sad to lose everything! It happened to me more than 6 years ago, but the memories remain... At least... it's not that hard to look for Fish Leung's pix, because she's quite famous now. :tongue:

[chizzu]

actually it was my fault.. i formatted rong hard disk :bleh: i am suppose to format the main 1 but i formatted the backup instead :oops: really stupid of me...

[vunsin]

Geez... :rolleyes:

Anyhow, are we all set for the theme week? It'll be from March 01 to March 08. :happy:

[ocy]

vun jie: Penny Tai
kimberly: Ruffedge
chizzu: Fish Leong
E-Ping: Too Phat
Mein: Siti Nurhaliza
Yue Anne: Z-ChenAdd me to the list, err....I'll pick Victor-Pin Guan.

Vunsin jie, March 01-08 will be great. My set will be ready by then, and where's the rest of the Malaysian? I thought that we'd more than a dozen ppl in here :sweat:.

[vunsin]

I don't know... :cry: It always seems like whenever I'm busy, all the other Malaysians are active, but when I'm not really busy, nobody's ever here. :oops: It must be me... :cry:

[chizzu]

this time i will surely participate! got my set ready :wink2:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v454/chizzu/FishLeong.jpg

[vunsin]

Wah... that's really cute! :happy: I have to take a look at mine again. I don't even remember what they look like. I did them quite a long time ago. :sweat:

[chizzu]

haha! i am the first one to put up the banner for the theme week :wink2:

[une_topaze]

chizzu, your banner is so colourful!!! It reminded me of S.H.E.'s Wonderland promo posters!!!

I've yet to upload mine, will do so tomorrow coz I'm quite busy with work! Don't worry, I will participate no matter what. ^^

[vunsin]

Kiasu! It's not even March 01 over here yet. :harhar:

[chizzu]

it was 1st of march here :bleh: i posted on 12.18am :bleh: i scare when i go work i got no time. so i posted in da midnight

[vunsin]

So what? I still have more than 3 hours. :bleh: I'm not even at home now, actually, so I can't upload my set.

edit: Don't forget to show off your sets in the Banner/Avatar thread in Social Lounge!

[E-Ping]

Hey guys, i am rather late, sorry!I was just discharged from the hospital..goshh..it has only been 3 months since i last admitted to the hospital. :cry: Anyway, i will put my set up right now.Mine is Too phat too :tongue: , it is ok to have the same set, right? :tongue:

[Alias]

hey, by the way, i haven't been back to Msia for quite some time, haven't have the chance to hear any of "Too Phat"'s songs.... any chance someone can point me to some direction to hear some of their songs?
mhmm.... i hope i wont be too late for this week! promise im working on it!!

[vunsin]

E-Ping: Hey, nice to see you back and I'm happy you can join this theme week! :tongue: What happened? Why were you hospitalized? :? I guess we'd better talk about this in the lepak thread. :wink2:

Alias: We have four more days. :tongue:

[mein]

E-Ping, you were hospitalized??..Do tell us what happen. Hope you get beter now. : :console:

Anyone goin to BSB's concert or Avril's? Both concert will be held at Merdeka Stadium again. Or anyone is interested to go for David Tao fans meeting session? :bleh:

[vunsin]

Erm... mein, this is the THEME WEEK DISCUSSION thread. :sweat:

edit: So... any ideas for the next theme week? How about a KIASU theme week? :rolleyes: Basically, we explain what being kiasu means, and then we show an example of kiasu-ism. Or do you think that's too Singaporean?

[liwei_jay]

haha... kiasu week... :bleh:...
actually if u wanna knw bout kiasu..
should ask s'poreans or use a s'porean as an example.. :wink2:
u knw.. we hav a saying to describe s'pore and s'poreans?? :tongue:
s'poreans dun be angry k??
kiasu, kiasi, kia ching hu... ( kiasu( u guys knw la), kiasi (scared of death), the last word means scared of government.. ) :laughing:

[devonn]

Once, someone told me not to blame S'poreans for being kiasu. I think it was my teacher. She said it depends on some certain people and we cant blame the whole nation of Spore as Kiasu. Some Malaysians also Kiasu. i should just say there's so many kiasu everywhere. So cant put the Kiasu's name to Sporeans only.

[vunsin]

Hey, I wasn't claiming that Singaporeans were more kiasu than Malaysians. :sweat: I was merely pointing out the fact that the term "kiasu" was popularized in Singapore first and then adopted by Malaysians. :sweat:

[liwei_jay]

nope.. wasn't sayin tat s'porean are the ONLY kiasu ppl..
do find kiasu ppl in KL too..
who r much more kiasu.. :blush: not me ok.. ?? :wink2:
anyway.. was juz givin an example also..
and also.. some jokes tat the ppl here used to share...

[chizzu]

my KIASU motto: u KIASU i KIASI.. hahaha.... this is one of the motto that the star use long time ago for its road safety campaign :bleh:

[mein]

Sorry, I must have mistaken that this was the lepak corner! :sweat: Kiasu week? That sounds great. What does kiasu really means? I heard of ppl telling the word but I didn't really understand it.

[liwei_jay]

hahahaha.. :lauhing: good one chizzu
i like it... u kiasu i kiasi... :wink2: very meaningful...

mein doean't matter... come and join us!!
tell us what you think?? :wink2:
mein... actually i also dunno how to expect kiasu...
i think there's a lot of version..
but the one i knw is "scare to lose" it's actually in hokkien + mandarin...
"kia su" kia = scare, su = lose...
haha.. hope this help to explain to you.. :sweat:

[cool181]

lol.....really nice word......"u kiasu i kiasi".....:tongue:

by the way...i never use the words before when conversation....
and my wondering is why singapore people more kiasu then malaysia people???:hmm:

but i think i'm sure is.....usually people more kiasi then kiasu .....
i hope i'm not out of topic....

[vunsin]

and my wondering is why singapore people more kiasu then malaysia people???:hmm:
Okay, let's not talk about THIS anymore, okay? This cannot be proven scientifically. :whistle:

:laughing: chizzu, that's a funny one! U kiasu, I kiasu. :roll:

[une_topaze]

Don't get me wrong but I don't agree to a Kiasu Week because it's been associated with Singaporeans for so long, it's something they kinda 'own'. Whenever you mentioned the word kiasu, immediately people will think of Singaporean and not Malaysian. I hope that makes sense.

I'm thinking about doing The Hibiscus Theme Week (Bunga Raya) because it's our national flower and our government campaign to bring back its glory in the country. If you guys think it's too hard we can do Flowers of Malaysia Theme Week or Malaysian Animals Theme Week (Orang Utan & elephants!) ^^

[cool181]

Flowers of Malaysia Theme Week or Malaysian Animals Theme Week (Orang Utan & elephants!) ^^
:sweat: just wanna to say...have typing error....malaysia NOT malaysian.....sorry if hurt you... i just dont wanna make other people misunderstood only.....

i think animals first better then flowers....because more interesting compare with flowers....
buy the way.....i nevermind with it...

[une_topaze]

:sweat: just wanna to say...have typing error....malaysia NOT malaysian.....sorry if hurt you... i just dont wanna make other people misunderstood only.....

i think animals first better then flowers....because more interesting compare with flowers....
buy the way.....i nevermind with it...
Ermm... I think Malaysian Animals sounds right. It's like Malaysian Food, Malaysian Artists... I admit that my English grammar is my waterloo but I'm pretty sure it's correct :oops: I stand corrected tho, if it's indeed wrong. :wink2:

I would like to point your own haywired sentence structures but two wrongs won't make a right :bleh:

[akane_chou]

em... i actually like the "Flowers of Malaysia Theme Week" coz it's easier to make banners since there could be a concept of having other flowers then placing the hibiscus on the top of the rest of the pics? *sorry, dunno if you think im selfish* but actually more convienient coz most places have hibiscuses... and it's much easier to look up for since animals are so much of a wider range....

[une_topaze]

akane_chou and cool181, don't worry about expressing your opinions on this matter coz it is a discussion thread afterall. Honestly saying we appreciate direct comments than the beating around the bush ones. Feel free to suggest any other theme weeks you have in mind but we pick the theme week based on majority votes.

I actually have no problem with both theme weeks because they are both diverse and Malaysia is rich with flora and fauna. It will be great to hear more opinions too ^^

[vunsin]

Don't get me wrong but I don't agree to a Kiasu Week because it's been associated with Singaporeans for so long, it's something they kinda 'own'. Whenever you mentioned the word kiasu, immediately people will think of Singaporean and not Malaysian. I hope that makes sense.
That was the point I was trying to bring up in the very beginning, but it was misinterpreted.

Anyhow, I actually don't like flowers, but if you guys want to do hibiscus, that's fine. There's a little "problem" with doing only hibiscus. Do you know a site where we can find many interesting hibiscus pix? I don't want everyone's banner to look the same.

[liwei_jay]

hmmmm... it's kinda quite diificult to discuss hibiscus only rite...
i mean how many things tat you can discuss bout hibiscus?? :hmm:
i dun find anythin wrong wif "kiasu week" at least it's sth different...
and also we r discussing bout m'sian being kiasu..
dun really hav to drag s'poreans in if u dun wan too.. :wink2:

[cool181]

une_topaze thank you for correct my mistake.....:happy:

so now...what is the conclusion???
malaysian flowers or animals??
why taking back on the "kiasu" topic??:?

[vunsin]

Nothing "wrong" with the "kiasu" topic. It's just that, it's not really originally Malaysian. If you guys don't want to do flowers or animals and want to do something along the line of "kiasu-ism", maybe we can simply come up with a better name?

Anyhow, the bottom line is, we don't do a theme week unless everyone agrees with the them, obviously. :wink2:

[E-Ping]

I'm fine with all the 3 themes suggested, but i found the 'kiasu' theme pretty interesting.Something different we have here.And i do agree Malaysia doesnt really 'own' the word 'kiasu'.Definitely agree with vunsin jie's suggestion about using another word which has the same meaning as 'kiasu'. Perhaps we could use something like Malaysian 'takut kalah' theme week? :sweat: Bleh, that sounds really weird...and i bet many people in the forum would not understand that Malay word, unless we explain to them. :sweat: Any other BETTER suggestion?

Other than kiasu theme, the Malaysian animals theme is great too, coz we have lots of animals to choose. :happy:

[vunsin]

How about the slogan that chizzu brought up: "U kiasu, I kiasi"
And then find creative ways to explain that.

[akane_chou]

erm... although it's sorta like im not so sure what it means... *because i havent heard it before* but i think visuals would be enough to explain... and... we can twist it alot! :excited:

[vunsin]

Basically, it was a slogan for a road safety campaign or something. It means: You afraid to lose, I afraid to die. :laughing:

[Yue Anne]

hey i like that slogan alot!! 'u kiasu i kiasi '!so mainly is about the road safety? i'm fine with the animals one though,is pretty easy to find the pictures.

[vunsin]

No, I was just explaining what that slogan was originally for. It doesn't have to be about road safety only. Be creative! :tongue:

[Yue Anne]

eheheh ok ok so what's the conclusion people?
the one about the local animals, flowers or the slogan' u kiasu i kiasi'?
hey how about the local food?? ok is just an idea. hehe

[vunsin]

Actually, we've already done a Malaysian Food theme week a while back. :wink2:

[chizzu]

how about malaysian road safety week? few weeks back The star is having this campaign :bleh:

[vunsin]

Well, I wouldn't feel "connected" to it, if you know what I mean. :wink2:

[liwei_jay]

hahaha...
ok guys.. maybe it's time for us to chooose..
i dun think we should discuss "food" anymore...
or will hav to change the thread name to "local food" :bleh:

i agree we use "i kiasu, u kiasi" or "u kiasu, i kiasi" whichever way it is.. :wink2:

[vunsin]

Well, I hope more people will come and tell us what they want to do soon, before I get too busy! :rolleyes:

[Yue Anne]

I quite like the slogan actually..animals not too bad either...both are fine with me.. ^.^

[E-Ping]

I'm totally fine with the theme, lol the slogan sounds really funny! :laughing:

[vunsin]

Now the most challenging task would be making a banner to convey that message!

[akane_chou]

oh yay! we've decided... other than road safety which is actually everywhere if you watch the road... maybe we can use the smartag thing... *a lot of people dont have the smartag but yet they still go there to obtain individual attention then cause all those behind him to curse and swear... does this pass or do i still ahve to brainstorm? :rolleyes:

[vunsin]

So do we all agree? For those of you who're overachievers, maybe you can post your banners here for us to take a look at and to give us some idea. :whistle:

[une_topaze]

Ermmm... I'm kinda confused here. Are we doing "U kiasu, I kiasi?" Theme Week?

I... I... don't know how the banners should look like :sweat:

[E-Ping]

Lol,same here. :sweat: I thought about it today and still havent come out with an idea. :sweat:
Yea those who have lots of ideas,please share em with us.

[vunsin]

Well... I have some ideas, but I don't know how to make the banners. :sweat: I'm thinking of situations where some people are really kiasu that it endangers other people's life. Like, this one monkey who wants to carry the heaviest bunch of bananas. But then it's too heavy for him. As he's climbing up the tree, he drops the bananas and they hurt some other monkeys? :sweat: I don't know. It sounds kinda lame. But I'm at work now and I'm supposed to be working... :whistle:

[liwei_jay]

hmmm... :hmm:
yah hor... abit diff to make banner...
then how??? shall we still continue wif it??
i was thinkin of some funny photos wif funny expressions..
it's like one side look kiasu and the other kiasi... :bleh:
i knw it doesn't make any sense de la.. :blush:
hehe.. juz suggesting..

[vunsin]

Well... if we don't know how to do this, maybe we should try something else? :sweat: How about the flora & fauna theme?

[cool181]

:sweat: i really no ideas to make a banner about "u kiasu, i kiasi"....brain empty
like vunsin said...change other theme will be easier i think

[s.Jay.c]

Hey guys! This is my first time participating in this thread and the Malaysian Theme Week thing!

I like the 'flora and fauna theme'! But I also thought of a theme that might be okay. How about a 'Traditional Costumes in Malaysia theme'? Hopefully I don't sound too stupid =)

[vunsin]

We've discussed the traditional costume theme before, but somehow we didn't end up doing it. That would be fun too.

[liwei_jay]

hmmm... :hmm:
that's fun too.. at least we hav quite a lot of costumes to talk bout.. :wink2:
maybe this will work ... :excited:
so anyone has any idea how the banner should look like??? :brows:

[vunsin]

First of all, we have to decide on a theme! :rolleyes: I think we've scared everyone off with our indecisiveness. :sweat:

[une_topaze]

Still discussing what we're gonna do? :sweat:

The reason why we didn't do traditional costumes when the suggestion first came up is because most of us have problem finding the right pictures for banners.

Flora and fauna is an interesting theme really. I'm all for it if the others say AYE!!!

[cool181]

:happy: i think flora & fauna is easier to find photo & do banner right?? somemore is easier to create also.....
then how about just do that??

since like vunsin said...we discuss so long also nothing out & this thread seem less active...:sweat:

[Alias]

hey ya guys... its me again... sorry i didnt get around to doing our last theme week :( was too busy, and frankly, i dont have the tool to do it, coz my computer is going so slow now, that i took out all software and left with nothing :(
i didnt read all the posts... but after two last pages of it, i think why not just stick with the customes? its a good idea plus... yeah.... there will be plenty of oppurtunity to do others nxt time. so for now, lets do the traditional customes :) :) :)

ps: and ill try to find some ready made banner on the net ^^

[vunsin]

Alias: You didn't read all the posts. That's understandable. But have you read the two posts right above yours? :sweat:

Flora & fauna theme is fine. :happy:

[s.Jay.c]

Hehee.. Yea, traditional costume pics are really hard to find!

I'm all for flora and fauna! Let's do that! :D Hehe

[Alias]

hehhehe i actually read it, and thought most people were still deciding between the two :glug: , and i thought traditional customes were fine :)
but yeah... sorry... didnt read thoroughly enough i guess.... :shy:
hehe. ok... its flora and fauna then :)
sorry ar :cry:

[E-Ping]

Yup floral and fauna sounds great and it's much easier to find pictures on that, compared to traditional costume.I think the difficulty in finding pictures of tradional costumes was the reason why we didnt do this theme earlier.
So..yup..floral and fauna! :happy:

[vunsin]

So basically it's any plant (non-fruit, because we've already done that) or animal that you can find in Malaysia, right? :laughing:

[chizzu]

yeah! Vunsin jie~ u can book the event on the calendar already :wink2: this should be fun.. lets decide the week then :happy:

[E-Ping]

March is going to end soon..so maybe we could have it on early April.And we should start choosing plant and animal that we want to have on our set! :D

[vunsin]

Just so you'd know, I probably won't be online from April 1-6, because I'll be in Nashville, Tenessee for a conference. I don't have a laptop, so I'll have to rely on the free cybercafe at the conference center. But I'm sure many people will be using them!

So anyhow... how about after April 7?

[une_topaze]

April 7th is fine with me. It will give us plenty of time to decide what to feature in our banner and go picture hunting. ^^

[chizzu]

april 7 seems fine to mee too.have to think of a special plant or animal as the theme :wink2: so shall we confirm the theme week is on april 7-13?

[E-Ping]

Yup, April 7th is fine with me too. :happy: The date doesn't clash with my exam, but even if it does, i would still be participating in this. :tongue:

Hope more people will participate this time.

[vunsin]

Well... I said AFTER April 7. :sweat: I'll be driving for more than 8 hours to get home on April 6, so I may not have my set ready by April 7. :sweat: I suppose you guys can start without me. So it'll be from April 6-13. Let me put that in the calendar.

[cool181]

:happy: well...i think i'm still new at here....so need some help from the senior

actually we need to do or prepare what for the flora & fauna theme week??
so far i only knew need to search some photos & do banner right??
:sweat: i dont know do banner also....

[E-Ping]

Oopss...sorry vunsin jie.I think i've missed the word "after" :sweat:

cool181: Yup you need to find pictures of an animal and a plant to be put on your banner.Do you have the photoshop program? :? Coz you'll need that to make banner, but you could request someone (those who are really good at making banners :rolleyes: ) to help you make a banner. :happy:

[Yue Anne]

ok so is the flora and fauna theme ya?
means i can choose either any animal or any plant? is that right?

[vunsin]

Yes, you can choose any animal or plant. Or you can choose a picture of Taman Negara or something like that.

[une_topaze]

I think I will feature both in my banner.

What do you call Periuk kera and tapir in English??? :sweat:

[vunsin]

I don't think I even remember what those are. :sweat: Have you tried doing a search? :sweat:

[cool181]

E-ping: thank you for your info.... :sweat: i'll try to get the photoshop program asap & make banner on time if possible...
so i hope vunsin will make the theme week after 7 april by confirm......

une_topaze: i also dont know what they call in english...but still can try to search with malay words see what is the result...if they come out with malay website is easier to find malaysian flora & fauna

[vunsin]

I've already put it on the calendar as April 7-13. Check it out. I hope many of you will be able to do this.

[E-Ping]

une jie, i think there isn't an english name for tapir.In English, it is still called a tapir. As for periuk kera, i did some search, and according to this website, http://funnyaccent.typepad.com/funnyaccent/2003/10/post.html ,it is called "Monkey Pitcher"

As for me, i'm going to feature "proboscis" and "rafflesia" on my set.Hopefully, i would be able to find some nice piccies.

:excited: My 1000th post! :excited:

[chizzu]

>_< still havent decide on my theme... mayb i will do orang utan?

[vunsin]

Orang utan? :laughing: I can't wait! :excited: I mean, that reminds me of Sabah, where I'm from. :tongue:

[mein]

Erm...I shall feature orchids and parrots for my set. :happy:
E-Ping, you can the pictures of the pitcher plant from this site below :
http://www.mark-ju.net/wildlife/malaysia.htm

[ocy]

Hmm.....let me see, so we need a plant and an animal for the theme week banner? Err, I think that I'll put a nice flower in there and ....maybe hornbill can do?

[E-Ping]

mein, i was shocked when i saw the page..there were pictures of huge milipedes :crazy: I kinda expected i would see pictures of pitcher plant :sweat: Thanks for the interesting website.I think the pictures of pitcher plant would be useful to une jie since she's the one doing it. :happy:

Lol, ocy, i realised you're featuring a cat and some plants on your banner.So eager to start this Flora and Fauna theme week? :tongue:

[s.Jay.c]

Do we need a plant AND an animal or just one? Hehehe! I haven't decided on what I'm gonna do for my banner and I'm not really good at making banners or avatars. My mouse isn't functioning properly so I can't really use Photoshop properly either. No fear, though, I'll make the best of it :D

Hey! I came across that website too and thought of making one with the butterfly but I think that would be too common cos I bet almost every country has butterflies rite? *thinks* I'm gonna go sit and think now.

[E-Ping]

s.Jay.c: It would be alright if you just do one, but since our theme is Malaysian Flora and Fauna, it would be more suitable to feature both animal and plant on your set. :happy: Happy making your banner and avatar!

Yay, finally, i've finished making my set! :D

[ocy]

Lol, ocy, i realised you're featuring a cat and some plants on your banner.So eager to start this Flora and Fauna theme week?*Scratches head* Well, erm, I don't even knew that we'll be having a Flora and Fauna theme week, before/after this banner was put up->which is about 2-3 weels ago. Hmm....guess that I can use this banner for the theme week if I can't make a new one :bleh:

[s.Jay.c]

Ohh no!! I can't believe this is happening! My banner and avatar set is MISSING! I can't find it and now....I have to make a new set and the Flora and Fauna Theme Week is tomorrow! I can't believe this!

[une_topaze]

I'm.. I'm... gonna join this theme week a bit late (just found out that it started yesterday???) because I'm in the middle of another theme week. >__< I hope to see all of your banners tho'. It will be our second theme week of the year, so heads up!! :wink2:

[E-Ping]

ocy: I know. I was just joking. :tongue:

Hey guys, the theme week starts today.Quick, put up your banner and avatar!! :bleh:

[ocy]

E-ping, I know that you're just joking. :happy: And I thought that the theme week started yesterday? Oh well, I must have mixed things up:P Your set looks nice btw.

Anyway, hope to see more theme week banner/avie around here.

[une_topaze]

It starts today??? :sweat: I don't know what's wrong with my eyes :sweat: I will do my banner now :sweat: I go now before you guys drown in my sweat :tongue:

Do forget to talk about our theme week in the social lounge ^^
-----

[cool181]

[E-Ping]

ocy & une jie: I thought the theme week started yesterday too! I was planning to put up my set yesterday night, but something was wrong with my pc (i was using another pc).I couldnt log on to jc.net.That's why i didnt manage to put up my set.I onlined this morning, and i actually found out that the theme starts today.

Do forget to talk about our theme week in the social lounge ^^

Lol, une jie, i think it was supposed to be a "dont". :laughing:

cool181:Wow...are you sure you've just learnt how to make banners?Your banners are really nice.They dont give me the impression that you are a first-timer in making banners. :thumbsup: And of coz they are acceptable! :rolleyes: You can have both the banners on your signature :wink2:

[une_topaze]

cool81, you can display both banners because it's less than 50,000KB in total. Nice effort for a PS first timer!!! ^^

E-ping, how cute is that typo? :rolleyes: no wonder no one went to the Banner thread :sweat: Now go there and show off your beautiful set!!! :bleh:

[devonn]

OMG! I missed so much. Ok, I want to take part in this theme week but sadly, I am helpless in doing banner/avatar. Anyone can help me?

E-ping: The first thing that come to my mind when I heard Malaysian Flora and Fauna is Rafflesia. And you have it in your banner! Good job :D

Cool181: At least you know how to do a banner. I dont at all. And yours is NICE! Nice try and congrats :-)

[cool181]

:thanks: your all opinion & advice ya~~ :rolleyes:hope will do better banner for next time week theme....when i learn how to use the photoshop program to do banner really :wacko: i learn abit from the art studio,photoshop tutor thread & help section....devonn if wanna to learn can go there read also

e-ping: the proboscis photo are special..i cant find it :sweat:

une: wow...join 2 week theme together...cool :D

[une_topaze]

devonn, I can help you whip a simple set but you have to change your current set. Is that alright? Tell me which flora & fauna you want and I will do it for you ^^

cool181, the next step to learn will be how to add frames to your banner (a.k.a. stroke) so it will look nicer. I don't know why but I always have two theme weeks at the same time :sweat: I enjoy it tho', bring you closer to the others ^^
--------
EDIT: I just saw your banner made by chizzu. It's so cute!!! A beautiful 2-in-1 creation, LOL

[devonn]

une_topaze & cool_181 : Thanks but Chizzu helped me out already.So,basically you can see my banner as simple and er...cute! :D

[chizzu]

hahaha.... well, after finish devonn's set i made my own banner.. but somehow, i got lost somewhere and so does my banner.... haha

[cool181]

:laughing: devonn & chizzu banner really nice & funny.....

hope that more people will join it also

[vunsin]

Wow... I'm impressed! :excited: Although... I'm a little ashamed to post in here now, because I haven't even started thinking about my set yet. :sweat: I just got back in town last night!

[E-Ping]

Lol, devonn and chizzu's banners are so cute!In one banner, the rhino is wearing a hibiscus, while in another banner, the orang utan got lost in the orchid garden.Nice! :thumbsup: That's very creative of you, chizzu.

une jie: Cant wait to see your flora banner,hehe! :wink2: By the way, your shinhwa banner is really nice, and so is your fauna banner. :wink2:

vunsin jie: Welcome back! :excited: Cant wait to see your banner! :happy:

EDIT: Hey people, i just got back from the Tell Us About Your Avatar thread!Quick, guys, drop in there and talk about your beautiful banners!

[chizzu]

lol. the rhino does look like devonn right? wakakakakaka.... i cant think of anything that can put flora and fauna together :oops: so in the middle of nowhere, i got this idea. and came out with these banners. haha. all these in just one hour... devonn rushing me... coz i am busy lately and no time to prepare for the theme week :oops: but at least i still made it in tile :bleh:

[devonn]

chizzu : "thank you"..if i look like rhino, you look like what? :harhar:
cool181 : Me too! first time join Malaysian Theme Week ^_^ :roll:

[chizzu]

:oops: sorry... just joking... dont take it too serious.. it looks like a rhino anddoesnt look like you... i look like what? the orang utan? haha.. no... i look like my self

[cool181]

devonn: wow...you are first time also?? cool....should be proud since intro malaysia to more people right?? lol...

by the way..last time seem many people discuss about it but how come only a few of people join the week theme?? :?

[E-Ping]

cool181: Thanks!Yup just changed my avatar.
Well, vunsin jie said she was going to join this theme later, while s.Jay.c said her banner and avatar were missing and she needed to make a new set.Hope she would be able to join us soon.As for the rest of the Malaysians..i'm wondering if they know the theme week has already started? :?

[vunsin]

I'm still looking for good pictures for my set. :sweat: I just came back from my conference in Nashville (9 hours' drive) late Wednesday night and I was busy the whole day Thursday. It's Friday morning now and I'm at work. I'm trying my hardest. :oops:

[chizzu]

gambatte ne vunsie ne san~! its quite easy to find pics for this theme. there are still alot of flowers and animals in malaysia. you can try rhinoceros hornbill... nobody is using it yet :bleh:

[mein]

Sorry guys, I'm afraid that I can't join for this theme. I've made my banner but I couldn't upload it photobucket. I think my com has some problem. :sweat:

[vunsin]

Finally... I made something. Actually, I just stole it from somewhere. :sweat: At least now I won't feel ashamed to post in here. :whistle:

[cool181]

:excited: wow...vunsin banner is nice~~~!!!
seem so real~~~
but wrote malay at there...only malaysian people knew it...
other people around the forum can understand??:wink2:

[vunsin]

Like I've said, I "stole" the banner from somewhere. I think it was a stamp collectors' site or something. I haven't had the chance to "fix" anything. Anyhow, there are actually TINY English words under the Malay words... :whistle:

[une_topaze]

OMG, Vun jie. You're so funny. Why are you embarrased about posting in here before you put up your banner? It's not like we're gonna punish you or something :rolleyes:

Great stolen work. Kudos to the real person who did that :bleh:

[vunsin]

Well... I'm supposed to set a good example here, you know. :rolleyes: And I was getting a little desperate after looking at all the awesome banners in here. :sweat:

[akane_chou]

i'm so sorry i cant join... i didnt have ANY time at all... with homework and school... im so ashamed of myself! i'm going to look for pics right now!

[devonn]

O.o', today is the last day for the Flora and Fauna Theme. What are we going to do next?
Can we do Interesting Places in Malaysia? Or... is it done? :D :roll:

[vunsin]

I don't remember having done that... :hmm: Or have we? :hmm: Sometimes I get confused with other theme weeks. :sweat: Wait a minute... I think the Thais (or was it the Filipinos?) have already done that.

[E-Ping]

Nope we have never done that before, but the Thais did that already.Aww..the flora and fauna theme week ended so early.It was a great theme. :happy:

[cool181]

:oops: yeah~~ the week theme end so fast....
& i also havent changed the banner...
e-ping:changed it already...

yeah~~ i wanna to ask that usually how long only we have the new week theme??
every month?? or not sure?? or depend on us?? :sweat:

[E-Ping]

cool181: Yup changed my set, but i miss my proboscis, ya know. :laughing:
Anyway, there's no specific time when we're gonna have the theme week.It depends on us.Now, do you have any idea on what theme we should do next? :happy:

[devonn]

This topic seems to be left-out for so long. Maybe we can consider about Races/Religion In Malaysia, Malaysia's local cars, etc. Let's do something!!! :nunchuks:

[cool181]

:excited: devonn is the 1 who start the week theme again~~!!
actually...i've no ides about it when last time e-ping asked me...
since i'm not so sure what week theme already did before because already thread 2 :sweat:

:hmm: local car...mean malaysia products???

[devonn]

YUP YUP! I think M'sia only has 2 big cars' companies. They are PERODUA and PROTON. Am I right? There're many Malaysian Cars. Let me list down those I can remember :wink2:

Perodua- Kancil, Kelisa, Rusa, Kenari
Proton- Wira, Saga, Iswara, Perdana, Waja

Can we consider this theme?

[chizzu]

MyVI!!! New car from perodua coming out soon
haha
i think its a good idea introducing malaysian made car.

[akane_chou]

haha... good... *still slightly shamed that i was too busy the last theme week*

we can promote our cars.. but... is it easy to find the pics?

[chizzu]

haha. shall i take a pic of my iswara to promote? :lol: Devonn got her kenari. wakakaka. and she "love" it. lol. waiting for the new perodua car to come out

[devonn]

Chizzu: I didnt ask you to announce what car I am driving :ranting:

Akane_chou: I dont think it will be difficult right? Just walk to the roadside and TADA...amny malaysia's cars wil pass by :-) Do you mean you dont live in Malaysia

Sigh...Malaysia's thread seems to be so dull without Vunsin :wacko: . Come back Vunsin :angel:

[cool181]

actually is very easy to find pic....
just go yahoo type the car name you wanna to search then multiple pic waiting you to choose...

chizzu: take your car pic & show at here...you should proud of it since you're the owner...

devonn: why so angry?? :console: only told what car you're driving... no worry...we wont ask you to fetch1 :rolleyes:

yeah....where is vunsin??.... why so long also not yet back...if i not mistaken this week she'll be back right?? oh my god...malaysia thread without vunsin jie as leader......no 1 can make the conclusion....:sadangel:

[devonn]

Cool181: I dont mind fetching. I was just joking only :harhar: No hard feelings everyone :wink2:

Vunsin better be back soon. We have to hear from her what she thinks about this theme week. :bounce: By the way, how long do we take to have a new theme week? Is it once a month, or just depend whenever we had a new idea for a theme week :D ?

[cool181]

Anyway, there's no specific time when we're gonna have the theme week.It depends on us.

yeah...i knew that devonn wont be that "small gas".....erm..may be you can capture your new kenari pic for the theme week banner IF really wanna to do that...

by the way,no other people interested on it?? why only few of us discuss it :sweat:
or other malaysian have any other ideas???

[devonn]

Cool181: My Kenari is not even the RS version, Mine is the 1st version of keanri year 2000. :bounce: Plus, its 2nd hand. I hate the color :ranting: But its ok for now. At least i have my own car to drive out :tongue:
Ya, where's the rest? :rolleyes:

[akane_chou]

i'm here! i'm not old enough for a license... i'll go and take my mom's wira then... and go on a proton wira search! :rifle: thanks a lot... i'm in! okay, do we all agree? say aye! *im just kidding... i dont wanna act Vunsin like...

[chizzu]

[vunsin]

Okay... talking bad about me behind my back? :rolleyes: I'm back now! So what have we been up to?

[chizzu]

OMG Vunsin Jie is back! so as from previous discussion, how about Malaysian Cars? since there are 2 new cars just launched by both Perodua and Proton. haha

[cool181]

[akane_chou]

oh dont worry Vunsin cuz we all love you too much to talk behind your back... in fact, we were all missing you... :kisschee:

[vunsin]

Cars sound like fun. :happy: Although I'll really need to do some research on Malaysian cars. :sweat:

[chizzu]

lol how about a good start with this litte "story"?


Once, there was a family known as Malaysia. In 1985, they were blessed with their first born, Proton. The family loved Proton all they can. They gave Proton everything. They protected Proton from the bigger boys in Kindergarten. They told Proton, "You're young, you need protection from them. It's okay to make mistakes, you're young. Even if you don't learn from mistakes...it's okay...you are young."

Proton became spoilt. He always depended on parents and used up all his allowance on useless things. When he had to do his chores, he paid people to do it and the work is lousy, causing the parents having to call repairmen to fix all the mess that he made.

Anyway, when Proton was 10 (but he still acted like he is 1 or 2 years old), he had a younger brother, Perodua. At first, everyone thought this younger brother will be like Proton. Anyway, this new baby was more > >> handsome and looks smarter than Proton. Malaysia knew there is a possibility Perodua could be smarter than Proton. Since they love
Proton so much, they decided that Perodua can only learn a few things. cannot learn the same thing as Proton. This is so that Perodua wouldn't beat Proton at what Proton is doing.

Although Perodua was also protected by Malaysia, he learn to be independent very fast. He made good friends with Daihatsu, who had an elder brother Toyota. The two of them helped Perodua in everything. Perodua, being independent and smart, learnt a lot and in a short while, was becoming as good as, if not better, than Proton.

Malaysia realized that Perodua was becoming better than his brother. Although proud of Perodua, they still love Proton best. They paid Lotus(which is older and well known worldwide) to be friends with Proton. Using this advantage, Proton mentioned Lotus everytime he wanted to tell people about himself. On this own, he was still the same.

Moreover, Proton is always not updated. When doing his work, he still uses the typewriter and refuses to use the computer. Perodua, so much younger, used the computer, with broadband for his work. Perodua was improving so much that Toyota has assigned him with his work, codename Avanza.

2005. Proton is 20 years old, Perodua only 10. It was obvious that Perodua was the more successful of the two siblings. What is worse, Proton said he still need his parents to help him for another 10 years. He still need to protection from the big boys. In May 2005, Perodua was about to show Malaysia his best work so far...codename Myvi.
Proton, being jealous...quickly came up with an unprofessional remark about Perodua's work and show his work at the same time as Perodua on purpose The future of Malaysia and her two kids are still unknown. But it would be obvious that Perodua will shine, leaving Proton crying. It would be a wonder if in 2015, Proton will ask Malaysia for another 10 years of help and protection...maybe this time...protection from Perodua as
well...........THE END

This thread seems so dead :oops:

I remember the past theme week wasnt that welcoming but hopefully, in the upcoming theme week, more Malaysians will take part.

I just have an idea of doing the Hari Raya and Deepavali theme week. What do you all think?

[milkified]

Sounds nice! We can celebrate together. Call it 'DeepaRaya'. Hehe. =P

[milkified]

Well, you'll definitely need to learn to face the 'mess' when you grow up. It's just a matter of time. And I think it's a suitable time when you're 17, just before you meet the community and world. Talking about life. :rolleyes:

I think we should plan one for January since December is so full already. Hehe.

[deejay0103]

yeah, we should plan for the Malaysian Theme Week for January.
