sumaat, nakasaat

Oh, blimey.  I forgot how to do anything on this blog. I mean really. My brains really kaput for a while. I got switched off for sometime. Is my spelling for 'switch' correct? Amnesia is not really a foreign word after all. Wow, for a long moment there. I thought I had a few greats to share. I totally forgot how to post a new post. Now, I wonder how did I even get to be here.

I have a Kindle e-reader. It's actually underutilized. When I so... wanted it the waiting-game was like forever.   I had like googled on its usage and all. By the time it showed up, I'd forgotten whatever information was pertinent. Anyway, I used to be really a crybaby. It was not because I was scared of something or anything. It was more of a 'soppy' situation. Until I decided to do some 'spring cleaning' to my existence. But when I was helping my son with his pancake-making  I felt kind of soppy again. He is partnering with another classmate to demonstrate in class how they make their pancake. He is ten. I would have cut class during my time. That was not soppy. I was being silly, timid and shy.

Anyways, now on sumaat or nakasaat. Sumaat would be having goosebumps. 'Sumaat zou' is like saying 'I'm having goosebumps'. It is present now. It is happening right now. 'Nakasaat zou' is equivalent to 'I was having goosebumps' or 'I had goosebumps' all over me upon hearing the news. News could either be good or bad. You had the goosebumps for whatever reasons. You got past  that certain prickly feeling to tell.
 Just  to drive it home (almost/?) 'saat' means  a paint or color. So, it's like you are all 'hair' when you are 'sumaat'. Hair standing on end on your skin..
