Wishing to be Merlin

Tootopot do 'nokohogos' zou.(English: I totally suck).

Au zou apandai mamakai do kompute(r). (English: I suck at using a computer).

Not sure when to catch the 4th season of Merlin. My children and I saw all the three-season episodes of Merlin. I love that show. In fact I like all the characters in the show. They could really transport me to their world of magic. The cast perform their characters superbly. I cried openly when Merlin showed his sadness for not being able to save his biological father.

That brings me to my wishing to be Merlin. I wrote more 'counting in kadazan' in my blog to post. I lost it again. I get carried away a lot of times. Going off on tangents. I suck (nokohogos) at following instructions. While I may have ideas, I still need to harness them to cohesiveness. Yet, it doesn't stop there. That is the reason I wish for Merlin's magic. I want to be able to just stare at my laptop screen and transfer my thoughts I want to share. Well, it's not going to happen. I'm hoping my nine-year- old will teach me a few tricks. He's savvier than me at using a computer. Sad.

I remember my sisters used to say 'nokohogos' to euphemise anything that is left much to be desired. Especially to disapprove a character.

Nokohogos is something like 'au nototoina'. Abandoned or not polished  or neglected therefore it sucks. For example, I suck at using a computer because I don't use it often. Or I'm daft. Just don't want to better myself. 

My take on the kadazan word 'nokohogos'. It could mean bad, not savvy, do not know or sucks.
