Basically, we understood this particular word as a knife which is not sharpen, or a rounded edge of a pencil.
But, have you ever heard of the term " blunt " in speech ?
This term means that someone gave you a direct comment or something which you consider quite harsh or not saving your face.
Example: A : Aren't you going to the mosque this evening? B: When the heck did I say that? (with an unease tone)
something like that...
Lately, I had come across this friend who would love to give blunt response whenever I asked him/her about something.
And I found it quite ... hurting. It hurts.
And I could not look at this person as a nice person that I always thought of.
I became afraid of asking or suggesting things, especially to this kind of person. I think I did ask properly but this person will just keep on doing it without thinking other people's feelings at that time.
I am afraid that If I tried to defend myself, it would turn into a fight. And I will lose this friend of mine. I dont want this to happen.
Tell me, how do you deal with other people's bluntness?
Today is the 52 years of our Merdeka ( independence ).
This year's theme is " 1Malaysia, Rakyat Di Dahulukan, Pencapaian Di Utamakan " , meaning Malaysia is One, the citizens comes first and the achievement is the main priority (err..something like that ).
What do Malaysians do during the morning of the Independence Day? 1. Lazying in front of the tv and watch the Parade. 2. Doing household chores. 3. Sleeping. 4. Visiting relatives. 5. Working? 6. ... What else? ( these are just random guess)
What about me?
Since I am still studying in UKM, I just watch the Parade on the Berita Harian online channel on Youtube.
When the sun is setting

Walking barefooted on the sand, I frolicked at the water edge.
Watching the sun setting on the horizon, I took as much time as I needed to
breath it all...
