347. Hanya Jauhari Mengenal Manikam..

excuse my ignorance, for i was just born recently

my last post was about bahasa jiwa bangsa,

a 3 word i use to hear from the day i started to know RTM,

but never understand it fully until recently. Can i blame it

on my cikgu darjah nam? or my father for not teaching us

the meaning of such word..

I guess the blame is on me.

There is a lot of other 'ayat ayat cinta' out there,

antonyms, syncronyms, acronyms.. hell i'm not that

intelligent enough to even know the general word

for it.

n dont ask me about the meaning,

some i know the meaning but dont know the purpose.

some i kinda figured out the purpose, but dont know the meaning.

like the title 'Hanya Jauhari Mengenal Manikam'

yes, i understand the purpose, it used to describe only

a person or a profesion related to the field knows the value

of an item in the stated field'

i bet u guys know that too.

but what is 'Jauhari'?

or who is 'Jauhari'?

Johari is a classmate from form 4 Fasih back in 1994.

And who or what is manikam?

if manikam is a thing then jauhari is a profesion?

or a counterpart in 'perigi mencari timba'?

like a key got the keyhole.

and the spoon got the forks

Yes it is ridiculous for me not to know the meaning

and still calling myself melayu.

i guess the blame would be to my cikgu kemahiran hidup.

buleh?

(Cause i dont think i'm 'mahir' enough to 'hidup')
