When was the last time I updated this blog? Was it last year?
Oh..the life cycle technology has brought blogs to a saturation phase.
Life becomes more hectic and users need something easy go and the result, most of the bloggers have migrated to other social media such as Instagram and Facebook where they could update status easier using the apps. Is there any app for Blogspot? If yes, I think it's not attractive or interactive enough to glue bloggers to it.
Anyway, for the past 1 year of my life many things had happened, good and bad. One major event happened is that I have found many friends that are in the same boat as me - Malaysian married to Iranian. And this is actually the reason why I am writing this post today. One of them asked me words in Malay that have synonym with Farsi. I have recorded some words that I found throughout my journey in learning Farsi in this blog (right sidebar). But for some unknown reasons, it does not appear if opening this blog through mobile phone. Thus, I copy it in this blog. I will update the list by time..
