I don't know if any of you have noticed but my running regime has been going nowhere. My running log on the side bar taunts me every time I blog, reminding me how lazy I am.
After an initial spurt of enthusiasm, it's all gone wrong.
As I explained to Mr K-E, I'm a very "hangat hangat tahi ayam" type of person. Literally translated from Malay, hot hot chicken shit. It means someone who is initially keen and enthusiastic, but who quickly "cools" and loses interest. Like chicken shit, in fact.
Mr K-E finds this phrase really amusing. The weird thing is, this phrase is such a part of my childhood (years of learning Peribahasa*) that I never stopped to think what it actually means. Eeuuww, chicken shit!
