Welcome to the realm of kapster-ness

In any case one does not know the meaning of kapster, kindly allow me to provide an easy interpretation. 

A kapster, refers to someone who loves to talk. I believe this word was coined by local Penangites, or perhaps by my aunt herself. You see, the word "kap" in the local Hokkien dialect means, to talk and the word "ster" probably taken from words such as youngster. The word closest to kapster would probably be kap-siao in Hokkien but kapster sounds a bit less crude.

Kapster also refers to someone with a "smart-mouth", usually someone who comes up with those smart-assed comments and replies. I often hear my aunt telling my cousin that he is a kapster whenever he came up with a witty or smart reply to her remarks and questions.

This blog will provide an outlet for me to unleash my inner kapster-ness. I haven't been active in blogging ever since I came back from studying in Kuala Lumpur a year ago. I missed those days and would love to relive them again.
