10 Of The Saddest Words (Or Phrases) In The English Language

Back To School
Back to school are three words that most kids loathe and all parents love. While there’s no hard data to support that, if you random polled a group of kids and asked them if they’d rather be hanging out at the swimming pool with their friends or waiting at the cold bus stop at seven in the morning, it’s a pretty fair bet they’ll pick the pool.

Goodbye
[good-bahy]
An astute poster on the website Quora wrote, “you say (goodbye) all the time, but you never know which one is the last.”

Heartbroken
[hahrt-broh-kuhn]
Heartbroken is a tough word. We define it as “crushed with sorrow or grief.” We’ve all been there at one time or another—you know it as soon as you feel it, and you can’t wait for it to go away. This concept tends to rear its ugly head on February 14.

If Only
Dictionary.com defines if only as “I wish that.” Example, “If only I had known you were coming I would have met your plane.” This expression can also be one of wistful regret. “If only we had met 10 years ago.”

It Might Have Been
It might have been is a phrase often tinged with regret. Many movies on Lifetime use this concept. “He gazed into the sunset for a brief moment and watched her vintage MG head off down the long dusty road. With a casual shrug, he turned around and headed back into the now-empty and silent farmhouse, wondering what might have been.”

Lonely
[lohn-lee]
If you’re lonely, you are inherently sad. One (er, sadly) goes with the other. There’s no possible way to put a positive spin on this one. So we’ll just leave it be.

Love
[luhv]
The word love is evocative of a (mostly) positive and fulfilling emotion, and it has its own holiday every February. There is a flipside to the coin, however. If love is unrequited, it’s the worst, and that’s why it’s on this list.

Melancholy
[mel-uhn-kol-ee]
We define melancholy as “a gloomy state of mind, especially when habitual or prolonged; depression.” As an example, think about Charlie Brown lying on the pitching mound after getting drilled with yet another line drive.

Terminal
[tur-muh-nl]
Terminal is never a good word when used in a medical context. It is another word one can never put a good spin on.

What party?
The late Carrie Fisher said two of the saddest words in the English language were "what party?" The one you weren't invited to, it would seem.

“Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.” ― Dalai Lama

Was Moby Dick a real whale?


Moby-Dick; or, The Whale, the allegorical novel about Captain Ahab’s search to kill a great white whale, was based on real-life events. Born in 1819, author Herman Melville grew up during the peak of American dominance of the whaling industry, roughly the period between 1820 and the start of the Civil War. Weaving contemporary accounts and his own experiences as a whaler, Melville created his American masterpiece.

The young Melville was famously inspired by the story of George Pollard, the former captain of the whaler Essex. While on a two-year whaling expedition crisscrossing the Pacific, the Essex was rammed by a sperm whale. Quickly abandoning ship and thousands of miles from land, Pollard and his crew escaped in leaky lifeboats to begin a horrific ordeal resulting in sickness, starvation, and cannibalism. One of the few to survive, Pollard was given a second chance at captaining another whaler, the Two Brothers. But after 18 months in the Pacific, Pollard ran the Two Brothers aground, sinking the ship in what is now the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

The name of the whale was also inspired by real-life events. In 1839, Melville read a story in a magazine about an albino sperm whale famed for its deadly attacks on whaling ships trying to hunt it down. This whale, killed off the coast of Chile near Mocha Island, was called Mocha Dick

Botak Chin

Wong Swee Chin, aka Botak Chin, is THE original Malaysian super villain. He was one of the most dangerous characters in Malaysia during the 1970s, leading his gang to commit a string of violent armed robberies that netted them close to a million ringgit in cash. (This was back in the day when you could buy a nice house in KL for less than RM50,000!) .

Botak Chin was most famous for his guns. This dude had a serious fetish for them, eventually building up a personal collection of 19 firearms, 5 grenades and 1000 bullets. Botak Chin loved showing off his weapons every chance he got. He would swagger about the Sentul market, openly showing off his guns to everyone. Once during a robbery, he even challenged his victims to a bizarre cowboy-style shootout.

Not sure if Botak Chin had brought along cowboy costumes for the shooting game.
Despite his violent streak, Botak Chin liked to think of himself as some kind of Robin Hood. There’s a story of Botak Chin handing an old ice-cream seller a few thousand ringgit in cash on the street and basically telling him to “go home and chillax la, so old already still want to work meh?” But his Robin Hood reputation could not make up for his “shoot anything that moves” reputation.


When Botak Chin was just 15, the skinny teen dropped out of school and was doing odd jobs to support his large family. One day, he got his ass kicked badly for not giving in to a gang’s extortion demands. This life changing event set him on the path to super villainy. He joined a local gang to make sure no one ever kicked his ass again. But as he got more involved in the gang, Botak Chin evolved to become the ass-kicker instead.

If only Botak Chin had a chance to watch this movie. He may have been inspired to use his ass-kicking skills for good instead of evil. Pic from impawards.com
At the age of 18, Botak Chin committed his first armed robbery with his gang. Amazed at the respect that guns got him, Botak Chin quickly bought his own revolver. Soon, he abandoned his old gang to form his own. Within a month, the new Botak Chin crew had committed 8 armed robberies.

Botak Chin was quickly caught and sentenced to 7 years in jail. But he was released early for (get this!) good behaviour. Flicking a giant Double-Finger to the law for going easy on him, Botak Chin immediately formed a new gang – this time with some hardcore gangbangers. Now operating with experienced robbers, Botak Chin hit the big time. Within a year, the gang had hit several banks, clubs, illegal gambling dens, armoured trucks and even temples, leaving a trail of bullet-riddled bodies behind.

Due to the successes of his robberies and the public’s terror of his gun-waving ways, Botak Chin was well on the way to becoming KL’s top crimelord. As Botak Chin’s gang became richer and more powerful, his rivals became even more envious, leading to constant turf wars and gun battles that often broke out in the city streets.

Botak’s Chin out of control badass-ery eventually caught the attention of the Malaysian police, who assigned an equally badass cop to the case – DSP S. Kulasingam. This awesome supercop had been shot at, attacked with an axe and splashed with acid before, but still remained fearlessly devoted to his duties.

Once, Botak Chin tried to assassinate DSP Kula. A couple of his henchmen rode up on a motorbike and fired 11 shots into the policeman’s car as he waited at a traffic light junction. But DSP Kula proved to be un-killable. Even though he couldn’t breathe because one of the bullets had punctured his lung, DSP Kula FRIKKIN DROVE HIMSELF to a police station for help.


Maybe Botak Chin’s guys didn’t notice this bumper sticker on DSP Kula’s car when they put the hit on him. (Pic from funny-pictures.picphotos.net)
Now, more pissed than ever, DSP Kula put the hunt for Botak Chin into overdrive. The cops nearly caught Botak Chin once, after a high-speed car chase / gun battle through the streets of Segambut, KL. Botak Chin’s beloved Datsun was shot to pieces by the cops, but Botak Chin somehow managed to escaped.

In early 1976, Botak Chin’s gang began to fall apart. 7 of his gang members had been killed in gang wars and gun battles with the police. Several others had been arrested. Police had also managed to snag 15 of the gang’s guns. But that didn’t stop Botak Chin’s ambition to be top dog in KL’s crime scene. He continued his robberies, gang wars and gang recruitment drives.

But because of the heat on him, Botak Chin couldn’t get replacement guns from Thailand. In a supervillain-y stroke of genius, he turned to the one local group who always had guns – the cops. Botak Chin successfully ambushed 3 cops and grabbed their guns.

Finally, the police got a tip that Botak Chin was hiding out in a sawmill in Jalan Ipoh, KL. After days of staking out the place, dozens of police moved in and an epic gunfight erupted. An estimated 500 shots were fired in the battle. Cops lobbed smoke grenades into the sawmill. The gangsters replied with hand grenades. Eventually, Botak Chin’s lieutenants were killed in the shootout and the man himself took six shots in his body before surrendering.

In 1980, Botak Chin was charged for firearms possession and sentenced to death. But he wasn’t going to go quietly. While in jail, he attacked two prison wardens, seriously injuring one of them. On New Year’s Day 1981, he tried to escape from Pudu Jail. He stabbed three wardens in the process and only surrendered after being seriously injured himself.

Botak Chin was finally executed in June 1981. When the prison guards came to take Botak Chin to the gallows, he was finally calm, saying to them, “Sudah sampai, ah? Saya rasa macam lari 100m, sudah sampai garisan penamat.” (Here already? I feel like I ran 100m and I am now at the finish line.)

me and my obsession with words


10 fabulous German words with no English equivalent


1) Weltschmerz (n.): mental depression or apathy caused by comparison of the actual state of the world with an ideal state

They say that the grass is greener on the other side, but it’s that kind of mindset that causes the grass on your side of the picket fence to look gray and infested with earwigs. Which is to say, comparing a perfect situation to the real life scenario is bound to land you with severe case of weltschmerz, a word used to describe the disappointment you feel after watching the inevitable destruction of your unrealistic expectations. (Thanks for that, every Disney movie ever.)

2) Kummerspeck (n.): excess weight gained from emotional overeating

One can always count on the Germans to be literal and they do not disappoint with kummerspeck, the exact translation of this phrase being “grief bacon.” As in, “I bombed that test on vegetarianism so badly, I need some bacon to cure my grief.” Other possible food substitutes include candy, ice cream, tubs of cookie dough, bathtubs of cookie dough, and carrots, for all you “healthy” stress eaters that put the rest of us to shame.

3) Torschlusspanik (n.): the fear, usually as one gets older, that time is running out and important opportunities are slipping away

Picture this: you’re 26 years old. You’re living with your parents and struggling to maintain the underpaid assistant job, meanwhile, your best friends are landing CEO positions and securing future husbands. Nothing is happening according to the 5-year plan that you made during your senior year of college, and you can’t help shake the feeling that someone accidentally clicked “fast forward” on your life. That particular type of desperation is known as torschlusspanik, meaning “fear of the gate closing.”

4) Fremdschämen (n.): the almost-horror you feel when you notice that somebody is oblivious to how embarrassing they truly are

The only thing worse than being in an embarrassing situation is watching someone enter an embarrassing situation and being powerless to stop it. Grandparents and sitcom characters are usually the worst offenders of obliviousness and the most likely to evoke fremdschamen, or the cathartic sense of pain you feel witnessing another person make a fool of themselves.

5) Backpfeifengesicht (n.): a face that cries out for a fist in it

Rather than try to explain what backpfeifengesicht means, I’ll instead provide a list of people that might possess a face that’s just asking to be punched:

–       Teenagers who complain about “terrible” Christmas gifts they got, like cars.
–       People who tattoo their significant other’s name across their face, or anywhere.
–       Disrespectful bros.
–       Whoever started the “felfie” trend.
–       People who eat hamburgers with a fork and knife.
–       Hitler.

6) Erklärungsnot (n.): the state of having to quickly explain yourself

Erklarungsnot refers to the exact moment you are caught with your hand in the cookie jar and forced to explain yourself with only a split second to think. Unless you’re a good liar, the results of erklarungsnot are usually unbelievable and silly, like “my dog ate my homework” or “I didn’t know streaking through the grocery store was illegal!”

7) Treppenwitz (n.): the things you should have said but only occur to you when it is too late

Also known as, every comeback you’ve ever had that only came to you 20 minutes after the other person walked away. The Germans have a word for that, treppenwitz, and it perfectly describes my existence.

8) Vergangenheitsbewaeltigung (n.): the struggle to come to terms with the past

Listen… you can’t take back that one time you sneezed all over your crush or got catfished by a 12-year-old boy on the Internet. What makes the past so special is that it cannot be changed. The Germans know this concept so well that they made a whole new word for it, one that I will not type out again because it might take me a year or two.

9) Handschuhschneeballwerfer (n.): a coward willing to criticize and abuse from a safe distance

The literal translation of this word might provide some more perspective: a person who wears gloves to throw snowballs. No? It doesn’t? Well, that’s a shame. As far as I know, this term is meant to describe someone who chooses to talk behind someone’s back instead of to their face.

10) Allgemeinbildung (n.): everything that any adult capable of living independently can reasonably be expected to know

There is technically a phrase for this in English, “common sense,” but allgemeinbildung turns it into one word and gives you another excuse to speak German.

JANGAN INGAT KITA ADA KELULUSAN TINGGI KITA DAH PANDAI.. Satu hari, seorang profesor menyeberang sungai dengan sebuah sampan yang didayung oleh seorang pendayung sampan.

Di tengah-tengah sungai, profesor bertanya, "Kau pandai menulis dan membaca?"

"Tidak. Saya buta huruf," jawab pengayuh sampan.

"Kalau begitu, kamu sudah hilang separuh daripada kehidupan kamu. Orang yang tidak pandai menulis dan membaca seolah-olah hilang separuh keupayaan untuk hidup."

Tidak lama selepas itu, profesor bertanya lagi, "Kamu ada membuat simpanan di bank?"

"Tidak. Pendapatan saya hanya cukup-cukup makan."

"Kalau begitu, kamu hilang lagi separuh daripada kehidupan kamu. Mana mungkin orang yang tiada wang boleh hidup dengan selesa pada masa tua nanti."

Sampan terus bergerak.

Tiba-tiba Langit jadi hitam pekat dan petir saling sambung-menyambung.. Hujan pun turun dengan Lebatnya.

Air masuk dengan banyaknya ke dalam sampan dan  hampir tenggelam. Si pengayuh sampan bertanya kepada profesor, "Tuan, adakah tuan pandai berenang?"

"Er, err... Saya tidak tahu," jawab profesor panik.

"Kalau begitu tuan akan kehilangan seluruh hidup tuan!"

Pengajaran :
Tuhan tidak mencipta manusia dengan #kebodohan Sebaliknya, Tuhan mencipta manusia dengan #kebijaksanaan yang berbeza

Kita mesti mengenal di mana kebijaksanaan itu . Jangan rasa diri kita hebat dan memandang rendah pada orang lain yang tidak setaraf dgn kita.

Tuhan menciptakan setiap manusia  dengan kebolehan masing- masing yang tersendiri..

5 Tips for Finding Cheap Airfare

1. Buy Early
Especially during peak travel periods, making reservations late in the game can cost you a lot of money. Airline ticket prices typically go up in the last two weeks before flying, so if you’re planning ahead, try to make the call before this deadline. And if you’re traveling internationally, you’ll want to book even earlier — from three to six months in advance — for the best deals. For more on specific booking deadlines and recommendations, see Want the Lowest Fare? Here’s When to Book.
That said, occasionally you can get lucky if you wait, which brings us to:

2. Buy Late
Sometimes you can buy tickets at the very last minute for a great price if the airlines have failed to fill their planes. You can find such fares at specialized sites like LastMinuteTravel.com, or sometimes on airline websites and online booking sites such as Expedia. If you can stand the suspense, and if you are flexible with your itinerary and dates, you can find fantastic money-savers to very attractive travel destinations. For more info, see Best Bets for Booking a Last-Minute Trip.

3. Shop Around
No matter how good it sounds, you should never book the first fare you see. Start your search by checking a few of the major online travel providers such as Travelocity, TripAdvisor Flights or Kayak. Airfarewatchdog is another good source of low fares. Checking these sites will give you a preliminary idea of which airlines fly your particular itinerary, what the going rate is and which restrictions might apply. Armed with this information, you can head directly to the airline website to see if the same flights are any cheaper (some airlines guarantee to offer the lowest possible fares on their own websites). While you’re there, check to see if the airline is running any sales or promotions to your destination.
If you don’t see anything in your preferred price range, don’t be afraid to bide your time and watch the fares for a bit. Most major booking sites have alert features that will email you when your fare drops to a price you’re willing to pay.

4. Know When to Buy
The hardest part of booking a flight is knowing when to stop tracking fares and make that final purchase. Kayak.com can help you reach that decision, offering fare predictions for most major cities. Just plug in your itinerary and the site will advise you either to book now or to wait, depending on whether the fare is expected to rise or drop. It also shows a fare history graph, allowing you to see whether your fare is headed in an upward or downward direction. The Hopper app will track itineraries and notify you when the fare drops.
Keep in mind that many airlines launch fare sales on Tuesdays — so if you decide to buy on a Monday, you may be gnashing your teeth when your destination goes on sale the next day.

5. Be Flexible
If you live close to more than one airport, check out the fares from all of the airports near you. Many online fare searching engines will ask you if you are willing to depart from or arrive in more than one city. Yes! Also, experiment with different travel dates; shifting your itinerary by a month, a week or even a few days can make a significant difference in fares. You’ll usually find the lowest fares for travel on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Just about every destination has a peak season — and if you can fly any other time of year, you’ll often pay significantly less. See The Best and Worst Days to Fly to learn more.

5 simple ways to save money

1) Record your expenses
The first step to saving money is to figure out how much you spend. Keep track of all your expenses—that means every coffee, newspaper and snack you buy. Ideally, you can account for every penny. Once you have your data, organize the numbers by categories, such as gas, groceries and mortgage, and total each amount. Consider using your credit card or bank statements to help you with this. If you bank online, you may be able to filter your statements to easily break down your spending.

2) Make a budget
Once you have an idea of what you spend in a month, you can begin to organize your recorded expenses into a workable budget. Your budget should outline how your expenses measure up to your income—so you can plan your spending and limit overspending. In addition to your monthly expenses, be sure to factor in expenses that occur regularly but not every month, such as car maintenance. Find more information about creating a budget.

3) Plan on saving money
Now that you’ve made a budget, create a savings category within it. Try to put away 10–15 percent of your income as savings. If your expenses are so high that you can’t save that much, it might be time to cut back. To do so, identify non-essentials that you can spend less on, such as entertainment and dining out. We’ve put together ideas for saving money every day as well as cutting back on your fixed monthly expenses.


4) Choose something to save for
One of the best ways to save money is to set a goal. Start by thinking of what you might want to save for—anything from a down payment for a house to a vacation—then figure out how long it might take you to save for it. If you need help figuring out a time frame, try Bank of America’s savings goal calculator.


5) Decide on your priorities
After your expenses and income, your goals are likely to have the biggest impact on how you save money. Be sure to remember long-term goals—it’s important that planning for retirement doesn’t take a back seat to shorter-term needs. Prioritizing goals can give you a clear idea of where to start saving. For example, if you know you’re going to need to replace your car in the near future, you could start putting money away for one.
