food for thought

today is the last working friday in the month of ramadhan, and i'm sure that every1 is at kampung already! dude..bestnye, we're still 'trapped 'in sgmt! can u imagine that! not that we x want to be back, but the classes r still on as usual! walid's PLK class has to sit for the arabic mid term exam, while my teslians have a presentation on moll flanders & a virgina woolf's movie but we've promised mak to be back to jb (this yr's jb turn! :)) toink!toink!) by sunday evening so that we have xtra time for her, actually ikut plan asal nak balik on monday aftnoon sbb nak key in students' marks 1st (balik on the 6th oct tu xle kalut sgt!) but when the announcement for syawal will be made on the 29 sept, pas sunday class tu cabutle (if got people cry in the car,how? :(( ) nanny jah & tok daud r proud grandparents tis yr, sbb lil' guy now can walk & run i bet that they would luv to the idea of bringin him along to visit atoks' friends (so that walid & mommy could scout for a new pair of sandle bag for his newly bought virago!) i lov today sbb lesser cars around the campus, which has led to the fact that more parking spaces! but, i'll be crazy if i'm seen around the campus these few days like just nw, when i went to see en roslan from ilqam to get the keys for the dvd, he gave me that kind of look and i answered him back that "ni tanggungjwb pensyarah utk attend class, xleh simply cancel class!" and those actually came from me..!must be bcz of this ramadhan kot ! huahuahua
nway, enjoy this pic which happens to be one of his fav signages kat sgmt town(p/s: no human nor animal was harmed during the photoshooting!)
what does it mean by "lemang & rendang 100 mtr"? walid said that it is actually lemang tht is 100 meter long, and this would be the longest lemang in m'sia! this is ambiguous sentence, since it brings two meanings (trying to polish decay memories of what i have learnt in ukm!) for any1 who is so concern abt language & semantic, u would be questioning its authenticity in meaning..well, we don't! instead, we njoy it everytime we see this. actually, this white signage can b found by the roadside at petronas gemereh @ sgmt this signage is very popular, esp during eid fitri we even have to place an order to buy them! walid managed to order 3 pcs of this famous lemang which could cost him rm 8-9 per pcs! xpelah..ry punye psal! so..any1 dare to try this "lemang 100 meter"?

hah
once a teslian, always a teslian
i do agree that it is indeed ambigous but it's a signage. no wone writes complete sentence as a signage, then it wont serve its purpose as a signage, wont u agree wit me?
so how do we improve it so that it wont b ambigous anymore? *wink*
