recently, my grandma came over my house to stay.
i can say that its pretty tough for me, my mother, sister & brother, except for my dad
as we had to communicate with the maid but we dont reall know malay.
last night, they all went out with my grandma and i had to stay at home with the maid.
i spoke broken malay to her but she dont really understand some.
the best that i spoke was, " makan dulu, tada orang"
she understood that and i'm so glad
we ate at the dining table together & she's nice luh
however , after eating, she spoke some malay things and i odnt understand a single thing.
all that i can do is smile and act as if i understood
and when i wan to tell her something, i had to point this, point that and add some malay words to it for her to understand. but sometimes she dont
sososo, i had leant some malay phrases from papa & my cousin :
saya mahu pergi mandi- i go bath
awak suda makan belom?- have you
eaten?
sama sama makan- lt's eat together
jangan gosok baju dulu- stop
ironing the clothes first
pergi makan dulu- go eat first
oh yah, if i were speaking malay, i will be like a mute.
cos i kept on eeeeeeeeeeeee, ahhhhhhhh, eeeerrrrrrrrr.
ah, so damn miserable ):
