“I have this tendency to ‘melatah’, its like when you suddenly get surprised and you exclaim something in surprise. So for me I’d say something like ‘oh p@nt@t kau’.
People who ‘melatah’ are usually associated with women and soft manners. So a lot of times when I’d get surprised out of my ‘straight character’, my ‘sassiness’ will come out, as my lecturer said it. Pretending is really hard, which is why I say be who you are. Some people may not agree with you. You can’t control everyone around you but you can control your emotions and actions towards those who are negative about you. So be around people who are positive and accept who you are. I am full of sassiness, there’s no way people can stop me from being sassy. I’m sassy and I know it”.
