... this flower have had reached its peak ... yet.. it is still as glorious....
hmmm....
... on the lighter side....
... some of our everyday stuffs... we just take it for granted ... such that.. the origins of their name .... of which ... they are actually their brand.. not what they is .... eeeer confuse? ... just read the examples below lah ....
... XEROX ... established as a photocopier .. hence people will say ... " can u xerox this for me please .... " ... instead of ... " can u photocopy this for me ..." .. even thou the photocopier is not a Xerox ... it may be Canon .. Minolta .. or the like ....
... KLEENEX ... famous tissue brand .... " ... do u have any kleenex with u ..?" .. thou people nowadays .. will just say tissue ...
.. OMO ... a famous washing detergent .... " .. oh no .. I have run out of OMO ... " .. eermm... doesn't sound right ..... perhaps only happens in Brunei ... " ... eh abis tia omo ah ... ada jual omo kah sini ani ah ...? " .... despite having new brands such as .. Trojan .. Fab ... and Persil ...etc ... people in Brunei .. will still call it ... OMO ....
.... KODAK .. one of the established camera film .... " .. ermmm.. I've only got one Kodak left ..." ... or in malay ... .." .. nah inda beKODAK kamera mu ah ... " .... ( mana jua inda berkodak ... mun digital ..) ... when one should say ..... " yikes.. no more spare film left ..." ....
... COLGATE ... another well known brand of toothpaste .... " ... sorry dude... no more colgate left ..." ..... " ... nah abis tia colgate ku ah .... " .. when people should say ... " nah abis tia ubat gigi ku ah ..." .... but we have many brands now .... Darlie (use to be Darkie) ... Pepsodent .. Oral B .... and there's this brand ... believe it or not ..... ORAL ME! ....
.. CLOROX ... brand for a bleach .... " .. adeeh .. mesti jua makai clorok ni .. mun inda inda mau ilangtu eh ... " ....
.. and there are many more such examples .... but it's getting late .. I can only think of this at the moment ... perhaps... u can add some more....
