Malay Translations of Blog Posts

Today, so far, there have been about 2,700 visitors to this blog from Malaysia. In the light of this, I am going to try to include Malay translations of my postings in the future, to satisfy the interest of Malaysian visitors. Thus the same posting would appear in two languages. I would welcome your thoughts on this - from both English and Malay readers.

Malay postings will not necessarily be available at the same time as the English postings - but, if there is enough demand from Malaysia and Indonesia (as well as, of course, Singapore) I shall continue to post in Malay.

I hope this widens access to my blog. This post will be translated later - since I understand the irony of promising in English, a translation to Malay!

These translations will not, of course, be done by me, but by my wife, Syahidah Osman Cawley - so I thank her, in advance, for her help in this matter. I do not know whether she will have time to translate all postings - but she could certainly do some, which no doubt would help many readers.

Best wishes all.

Tiarnan Budak Burani

Tiarnan Budak Berani

Tiarnan baru berumur 14 bulan dan mempunyai 2 abang. Jadi, ia memang jadi persoalan, bagaimanakah Tiarnan bergaul dengan abang-abangnya yang lebih tua dan besar darinya. Kalau diperhatikan dari segi permainan dengan abangnya inilah yang kami lihat.

Selalu juga Fintan (3+ tahun) dan Tiarnan bermain bersama kerana umur mereka yang rapat. Kadang-kadang, Fintan akan merampas mainan Tiarnan kerana tidak sabar menanti atau mainan itu dianggap kepunyaan beliau. Jadi apakah yang yang dilakukan Tiarnan jikalau mainan itu diambil darinya ?

Waktu bayi, kerana tidak bisa melawan abangnya (dari segi fizikal, Tiarnan kurus. Fintan amat tegap dan berat macam besi).Dia diam sahaja tetapi sekarang berbeza pula. Selepas mainan dirampas dari tangannya, dia terus ke kamarnya, ambil mainan yang berbeza, lari kembali ke abangnya dan tunjuk mainan itu di depan muka abangnya. Selalu juga, dia katakan "Look !" - lihat. Seolah-olah, mengatakan, "Lihat abang, kamu bisa ambil mainan saya tetapi saya ada yang lain."

Tiarnan tidak menangis, merengeng atau merajuk. Malah dia tidak takut dengan abangnya atau mengadu dengan ibu bapanya. Tiarnan mempunyai percaya diri and tidak mudah patah hati. Insyallah, bila besar dia tidak mudah kecundang dan walaupun gagal atau dikalahi bisa bangun sekali lagi.
