Clearing my emails during the weekends..

Came across that I suppose my Malaysian frenz who get it :D

British English vs. Malaysian English


Who says our English is teruk? Just read below - Ours is simple, short, concise, straight-to-the-point, effective etc.

Britons: I'm sorry, sir, but we don't seem to have the sweater you want in your size, but if you give me a moment, I can call the other outlets for you.

Malaysians: No stock..

RETURNING A CALL
Britons: Hello, this is John Smith. Did anyone call for me a few moments ago?

Malaysians: Hello, who call?


ASKING SOMEONE TO MAKE WAY
Britons: Excuse me, I would like to get by. Would you please make way?

Malaysians: S-kew me.

WHEN SOMEONE OFFERS TO PAY
Britons: Hey! Put your wallet away, this drink is on me.

Malaysians: No need lah.

Britons: Err...Tom, I have to stop you there. I understand where you're coming from, but I really have to disagree with what you said about the issue.

Malaysians: You mad ah?

Britons: Excuse me, but could you please lower your voice? I'm trying to concentrate over here.

Malaysians: Shut up lah!

Britons: Will someone tell me what has just happened?

WHEN SOMEONE DID SOMETHING WRONG
Britons: This isn't the way to do it. Here, let me show you.

Malaysians: Like that also don't know how to do!

WHEN ONE IS ANGRY
Britons: Would you mind not disturbing me?

Malaysians: Celaka you!

Obsessed with $$$ all day long these days...

Not sure if its a good or bad sign...

I wanna retired early... thats the plan... :) Dreaming you say?

Dreams are better imagined than those without anything to hope for...

Have the mood to update the blog earlier so this blog basically spills thoughts on my mind... But being lazy as usual... I decided that this will be all I spill today !!
