Suddenly it came across my mind to use the word DAINTY - not because i'm beautiful, charming, delicate whatsoever, wakakaka, sila muntah dengan statement ini. I have my own story for this.
The word first came to my vocabulary when i was in form two. I still remember vividly that my then Set II English Class teacher, Mr. Gerard, request us to come out with a word starting with the initial letter of our name. I went blank. All i can think of was all the negative words such as dirty, dead, deaf. I flipped through the dictionary, and found the word dainty which i admired sooo much. Then here it is the born of thedainty.blogspot.com. ;p
Here is some definition on the words dainty from Dictionary.Com if you must know;
–adjective
1. | of delicate beauty; exquisite: a dainty lace handkerchief. |
2. | pleasing to the taste and, often, temptingly served or delicate; delicious: dainty pastries. |
3. | of delicate discrimination or taste; particular; fastidious: a dainty eater. |
4. | overly particular; finicky. |
5. | something delicious to the taste; a delicacy. |
*Update*
