i found something that the malay community in singapore is good for
before i carry on, please remember eveything done is in good faith
not happy, don't read on
you have been warned
you know sometimes when you are filled with emotions
but yet you cant find the right words to express that exact feeling?
well, thank the malays
there are some scenarios where using prim and proper english just wont cut it
Scenario A(utmost frustration)
englishmen: i am very frustrated
mat: SIOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Scenario B ( inviting someone to smoke)
englishmen:john, shall we go for a smoke?
mat: eh hisap?
Scenario C ( asking someone to move)
englishmen: excuse me. sorry
mat: eh tepi ah
Scenario D ( insulting one's mother)
englishmen: your mothers vagina
mat: puki mak kau!
Scenario E ( Compliments)
englishmen: jolly good old chap
mat: baik ah mat
see what i mean? there are some scenarios where malay is just the better choice. no frills, no beating around the bush...just short and sweet and straight to the point
however, i warn you...with great power int he malay language comes great responsibility...not every conversation sounds better in malay
Scenario F ( greeting your boss)
Englishmen: Good afternoon sir, how are you today?
mat: EHHHHHHH WASSSSSUPPPPPP BROTHER??????!! APA MACAM?????????????( does hand-punching thing with boss)
Scenario G ( teaching)
Englishmen: so today, you will learn E=MC2 and F=ma
mat: huh?
there you go.... hope yall understand what i have to say..again i have to say, please use the malay language properly.
