Let's start with the FAQ first, so that kita paham what this homepage is all about, dan kenapa aku sibuk sangat nak buat homepage macam nih.
 It's gone. :) Serious. My previous homepage, Fairy's Land, never had a real theme other than a personal homepage. It was getting kinda old you know? I decided to make a homepage that was really focused on a subject that I liked and found myself liking more everyday. Jom Ngomong2x was the perfect reason for my shift of theme.

Jom Ngomong2x: Two simple informal words originating from Bahasa Malaysia (jom) and Bahasa Indonesia (ngomong), simply meaning "Let's Talk." I'll be honest with you: I am Malaysian but I have long been fascinated with the Indonesian language, particularly the slang talk. We are so similar yet we differ by leaps and bounds in some aspects. Jom Ngomong2x was a title I thought catchy enough to grab the attention of both my Malaysian and Indonesian audiences. Following my fascination for Indonesian slang, I have compiled a little online dictionary of Indonesian words and have translated them into Malay. You know, I pick up words here and there from Indonesian friends (in real life life as well as on IRC), much to their amusement, especially when I start asking them the meanings. :) I think I know more Indonesian slang than the average Malaysian, tapi kalau ada yang rasa tak puas hati dengan statement saya tu dan ingin challenge saya dalam perbahasan (tapi pakai Bhs Indo Slang lah), silakan. Hehe.. Wei, Fairy tak le tere sangat. Biasa jer. At least Fairy takder ler se-ignorant macam orang lain. :) So, in other words, Jom Ngomong2x! is like an online phrase book, with a lot of Indonesian and Malaysian informality. Before I got myself into this whole "Indo Lingo," I must admit I never saw most of these words. It's pretty interesting. I just thought I'd compile it all and share it with everyone, especially for my Malaysian friends.

 Why Are you Doing This? Hmm, well... Let's just say I have driven numerous friends crazy with my sudden bursts of Indo Lingo. :) Siapa yang kenal Fairy kat Mesia tu, you all tau-tau aja lah obsession Fairy. ;o) They all know I feel like at home with my fellow Indonesian friends. It's something that not many Malaysians get to do. I just don't see what's wrong with learning about our good ol' neighbour, Indonesia. I bet most of us Malays in Malaysia had ancestors originating from Indonesia pun. Tapi Fairy ajar bahasa slang ajelah, you all nak belajar history dia, gi rajin baca buku. Hehehe. Hommie ini bagus juga untuk temen2x Indo Fai yang lagi pengen belajar cara ngomong slang Malay. Insyaallah, kawan2x Mesia Fairy dan temen2x Indo Fai semua akan memanfaat dari homepage ni.
