ABC stands for many acronyms-it all depends who and where you are.
In schools or kindergartens, it means alphabets. In the restaurants, it means Air Batu Campur and on the golf courses, it means Alligator,Buaya and Crocodiles!
Nobody likes to be called A,B,C as understood at the golf course; but some of human sapiens behave like ones.But if you insist calling someone or people Alligator,Buaya or Crocodile,please read this poem first:
Don't Call Alligator Long-Mouth till You crossed River
Call alligator long-mouth
call alligator saw-mouth
call alligator pushy-mouth
call alligator raggedy-mouth
call alligator bumby-bum
call alligator all dem rude word
but better wait
till you cross river.
By John Agard(b . 1949)
Note: Buaya is a Malay word for crocodile.
ABC. That reminds me of telling the answers of the objective question paper to my students.
A : Apple
B : Ball
C : Cat
and of course
D : Donkey
Heh.

A-Awak! B-Budak! C-Cantik!
Awak Budak Cantik.."

Waalaikumussalam,
Yazmeen,
How about E and F?
Wai,
Thanks for reading my blog.I am glad to know that you have learnt something about life; but let me assure you that learning will continue as long as we live..Many lived but never learn:-(
Let me quote from my RAM " If you are tired of London,then you are tired of Life".Looking at the pictures and reading your blog posting, I am quite sure that you are enjoying your life,young lady.Of course,sometimes all of us have our bad days.In that case,just go to Portabello Rd, buy a cuppucino and just walk around. I love the place..the sight, the sound and the smell;-)
Btw, I was in London,Keswick,LLangollen and Paris the first ten days of September,2003.
