Its good to know that when there is something wrong between you and your friends the air can be easily cleared because of that bond we share...after a saga of confusion and misunderstandings its finally cleared and it feels good! really it does, this year is looking promising with my offer finally being told it will be in by next Friday and leaving back to Melbourne alot sooner than expected but hey thats life i guess.
That was on a small note, now to point out another observation that Malaysians are quite notoriously famous or infamous for. The shortcut. After kind of getting lost on the way to dropping a friend home yesterday, we encountered a problem missing a few turns here are there and i realised at that point that malaysians LOVE shortcuts! Malaysians just seem to have shortcuts for EVERYTHING be it in our traveling or our speech. We always find a way to shorten things. For example when going to a particular destination, we seem to be aware or more than one way to reach that destination!
This is a typical conversation between passenger and driver:
Driver: "ayah sucks wei got traffic jam..."
Passenger: "ya loh...nevermind don't worry surely got another way to get there"
Driver: "yah i think we can take the LDP instead of Federal highway huh...if not
nevermind we can also use the back way around PJ that side"
Passenger: "ya ya good point"
And that also displays how malaysians can be SO lazy to even COMPLETE their sentences that they don't even talk properly. Instead of saying "Are you sure that is the case?" a malaysian will say "WHERE GOT!" haha and we pride ourselves as an english speaking nation. Great. Although i myself succumb to such colloquialism its amazing how lazy malaysians can be.
well that was my little observation for the day!
