The big fuss on the word 'belog'






"Hello it's blog, not belog"

"Hello it's blog, not belog, not even in malay"





Hanis: But what about in Java?!

Ive been getting these quite alot really. Somehow, me spelling 'blog' the way I spell it, is a big deal to some people. Not that I mind, but I just want to get things straight. Yes, theres no such word as 'belog' in English, Malay or even Java. Yes, 'belog' is a word Ive created that has the same meaning as blog. Thank you.

I was googling up my name the other day (you do too, I know) as I had all the time in the world on that particular day (justifying how I dont google my name often haha), when I found this one blog where the author, Liyana, wrote this:




"Malas nak 'membelog'(gaya perkataan Hanis Zulaikha..hehe)"




Yes I thank her very much that she credited the word belog, to me, I hope, because I was more sensitive on the way she spelled my name. Haha. Now that is something you should be more sensitive to, not how some girl spells the word blog wrongly.



Spellings you should really correct:



1.Your name, especially at government offices when filling in forms because once they heard you wrong and spelled it wrong, you have to live with it. Banyakkan bersabar Hasni.

2.Your dad's name.

3.The word Johor Bahru.




These people, those who has commented me on the word 'belog', COULD THEY BE THE ONE WHO SENT THIS TO FERGIE WHEN SHE ADDED AN 'E' TO THE WORD TASTY?!




Dear Stacy Ferguson,


Youre hot and all but you've spelled the word 'tasty' wrongly in your song, Fergalicious, so I hope you could revise back your lyrics.

Your ceiling fan,
Miss Anon.




Banyakkan bersabar Fergie.


So if you stumble upon the word tastey, you would think of Fergie, or when stumbled upon the word testi, you would think of Friendster, why dont you think of me when you see the word belog?




OhSoRandom: I grew up thinking that Malacca only offers wooden keychain as souvenir.

  9. Hanis Zulaikha? Adoi, anda mesti pissed (macam mana nak terjemah ke BM? hahaha) sebab saya pun sangat pissed bila orang panggil saya Zulaikha. Mungkin kerana Dzaliqa/Zalika/Zalikha dan Zulaikha bunyinya sama? (ya ke?) Lebih teruk jika dipanggil Zulika (yang ni sangat tragis tapi dimaafkan kerana guru tuisyen saya sangat hebat) dan lagi tragis jika dipanggil Dezalika (kerana huruf "D" di depan nama)

    Apapun Hanis Zalikha, anda cool! :)

  10. hahahaha...this time i cant resist to put a comment here
    alahai hanis, nasib kamu letak belog, kalau kamu letak goblog (ke eja goblok eh) apa cerita? :P

  13. dunno wat to say...juz menyibuk jek

    ReplyDelete
  14. belog is nothing. but you put up too much pretty picture of yourself. we already know you are pretty. if you want to be taken seriously,you shud focus on something more other than your looks- people already spelled your name wrong you see?

    ReplyDelete
  15. What's the fuzz? Belog ke blog, non of our business right? It's your belog anyway.

    l.i.f.e: saya pun baru nak panggil orang2 yang semak komen2 word belog itu, goblog. haha. tapi harsh sangat.

    cicadasx: haha thankyou thankyou. ambil kredit simpan untuk akhir tahun.

    penance: haha baiklah.

    areif: oke duduk situ diam2.

    anon: lah.. dah nama pun, ini belog saya. blogspot. com. mestilah banyak gambar saya. kehkehkeh.

  29. i used the word 'belog' as a tribute to ur 'inibelogsaya'. hehe.

    ReplyDelete
  30. errr... is the 'e' in that word belog pronounced as 'e' in the owrd 'ekor' or in the word 'entah'? Entah.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hanis Zalikha has coined a term. Which is cool thing because not any model can create a linguistic history.

    ReplyDelete
  32. You're so cute. Rasa nak gigit.

    From a teacher's POV, well mine anyway, language is a growing thing. If there's no growth, any language will die.

    So invent new spellings, words even (I cop blaberbuks, dunno the definition yet) and persetankan mereka2 yang dengkis itu.

    Adik2 mengambil SPM, sila eja bebetul la, nanti gagal kertas BM kan susah kena mengulang.

    ReplyDelete
  33. alaa takpe hanis. dorang jeles sbb hanis dah cipta word yg cool .

    ReplyDelete
  34. Nice hair gal!

    I grew up thinking the same too! haha..

  36. Eh who cares about how correct or how wrong our spelling can turn out in our blog. The 1st thing they should notice is that's our own blog, so whattahell kan kan kan.

    Ala, kita bukannya keje jadi translator pun. hehe

  40. orang kampung dusun je eja belog ...

    :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. I for one is a huge proponent of the "who cares if I tersalah eja atau tersalah sebut sebab membelog ini bukankah satu luahan emosi diatas papan kekunci, yang bebas melayari falsafah sendiri" school of thought.

    So, keep up the good belog. Ummm..cadangan, if the terminology "belog" dah sampai tahap populor giler...I rase patut you trademark that word. Hehe...

    ReplyDelete
  42. hanis..u x jawab lagi e dlm belog tu mcm mana nak pronounce?? e-taling atau e-pepet???

    ReplyDelete
  43. ramai jer yang mengeja blog sebagai belog dalam BM. ala... bukannya ada cikgu tatabahasa kat alam maya ni yang ketuk tangan dengan pembaris pastu bagi markah guna pen merah, kan?

    ReplyDelete

    what can i say is i adore u sis!
    (:
    keep up ur gud work.
    best of luck in ur life.

    about the BELOG issue,
    u just ignore it.
    its ur way kan?
    ur blog
    u have the right.
    i really agree with u.
    ur totally right about the spellings that we should really correct.
    (:

    ReplyDelete
  49. okay,i know this entry was written by u soooo long agooo but since i am marathon-ing u entries now err sbb nak pilih entry mana yg i paling suka (yes,pls call me a darling coz i betul2 pegi selongkar entri lama u utk cari yg terbest hahaha, sbnrnya i pun tak sangka i will do this hahahaha ketawa lagi)

    ok,ok, back to topic.
    my point is, i suka u tulis pasal sensitivity ke arah menulis nama sendiri dgn betul.(instead of making fuss of the word 'belog' haih) like hanis, not hasni. zalikha, not zulaikha..huhu.. sbb kdg2 sy pun senasib mcm kamu. pepandai je org tukar my spelling, nama i melody, jadi melodi. sebutan sama,bunyi pun sama, tapi tak suka lah!

    kan hasni?? i mean, hanis!! hehehhee..

    sekian. :)

    p/s: up until now, i still cant make up my mind of which 1 of ur entries is the best. sbb semua mmg gilerlah best n made my day! u go girl!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Uhuk...nice what dat 'belog' word tu. Kira cam kata pinjaman BI ke BM dengan versi yang terlebih Melayu. Cam laptop ='lappy' or bila nak panggil orang bitch rasanya lebih sopan-santun kalau use word 'biatch'. Haha. Anyway, ni kan belog ko, jadi suka hati ko lah Hanis.
    OK bah kalau ko!
