Looking at the glass half full


Malaysians have always been known for our good manners, politeness in communication and our delicate choice of words in speech.
Over the weekend I have met a few friends, aunts and cousins that I have not seen in a long time. They all have the same sentiment over me.

“Diyana, look at you! You are so much fatter!”

This is another perfect example of how Malaysians thoughtfully rephrase their thought in order not to hurt one’s feeling.

Oh,please! It is so obviouse that they are actually describing my exact resemblance with Rihanna Under My Umbrella! ella..ella..ella.. eh! eh! eh!

But of course Malaysians wouldn’t say such a thing! It is not polite in this country to voice out my similarities with that ultimate babelicious bombshell with legs that go on forever and a body simply to die for! Not to mention the chic bob hair cut and the curves all at the right places because Rihanna is never dressed modestly. She is VERY sexy and clearly not a good role model!

Tsk tsk tsk!

Ok. I have put on weight. Now shut up.

  1. :sinchan: huuu..huuu..ada benar cakap farah tu.., ‘overdozed sleep’ itu adalah Hikmat Hibernasi Bkt Beruang!!

  2. diyana, my friends like to say,”Intan, you’ve put on weight, but I like you better like this.” I’m thinking, sure you’d like me better fat! Better just not say… because truthfully, women are very sensitive when it comes to their appearance. so, i am never truthful when my friends ask me how they look… i always say, you look the same or i never notice! hahahaha! selamat.

  3. hehehe…lek lah D..you will gain the weight normally…simpan ruang skit..utk baby fat after give birth nanti…kang kalu skrg nih gain weight..nanti badan meletop2 camner? huhuhu..like me..i tried to gain weight since i’m 18…but i finally gain 6kg..automatically when i reach 26 yrs old. For as long as you are happy with wat u have…the hell with wat others days…huhu.
    rite? :wink wink: 😉

  4. bani…walaupun secara tak langsung ko kata aku gemuk…tapi aku tetap bangga sebab komen ko kali ni pendek dan sopan…

  5. aku memang seorang lelaki yg bersopan santun dan berhemah tinggi dan sesuai untuk dijadikan calon menantu bagi bakal mertua yang inginkan semangat muhibah dan kerukunan dalam institusi kekeluargaan. phewwwwwwww!

  6. Kdg2 komen tu akan berbunyi “Kau nampak sihattt” which is equal to “Ko nampak gemuk dan hodoh”….

    May be we should just say “I miss you”.
