i can't believe time passes by so quickly.
i'm a lil stressed up right now with a lot on my mind. thus, an emo-ed post.
was going through some friends' friendster profiles. managed to read a few comments on their profile. and i got disgusted. why? i'll tell you why.
"wakakka...so good ar u!!haha^u not stay kl de meh?hehe "
why de?
"lol...it's ok la...i won mind de..haha..sick ad!!!walao...wana CNY liao leh...hw r u ad???gt c doctor???rmb 2 eat medicine,,,drink mor water..o els i wil dan xin de leh...XPmi aaa...on de way sick...lol..wana sick liao...T.T"
this is a real sick girl. even if she claims to be "sick on the way" and she's dan xin. i would be if i were her.
"U got learn japanese ar? ?wher u learn...i also wan...tell me...Pls..............."
yeah i take japanese lessons. you sure u want another language when u r struggling with one that's very widely spoken worldwide. i suggest that u PLEASE take ENGLISH instead. or just put in more effort in writing in proper tenses. not that i speak excellent english. but at least i'm not that detestable.
i can't quote the sites and the names of the people. it's due to privacy reasons. i still have a heart. not that heart-less.
okay okay. i know. i'm not in a position to say anything, but if it makes me feel better, why not?
i can never imagine myself saying such things. especially not after i've been in sydney for 8 weeks with hardly any manglish spoken. hit me hard if you hear me saying such things okay? i'm pretty determined not to even use -lahs and -ahs.
and if you think those comments are enough to kill me, wait till you see some of the pictures with the titles. it's gruesome! it's...yucky! i can throw up now.
alright, feli flee! yeah...i better go before i say more things which i may regret later on.

and by the way, GOLDIE was 3 yesterday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! i'll be home soon. very soon. i promise. and then i'll cuddle you to sleep and kiss you till you get so sick of it. i promise!
EDIT: i felt pretty bad after publishing the post, yet not bad enough to make me remove it. but bad enough to add a note. i quickly went through all my archives. erm, some of them, not all. i don't have that much time. i went through to see if i'd posts with such terrible manglish in it. now i'm convinced and pretty confident that i've not. so i can go on "kutuk-ing them de!" all the edited parts are in green.

As a Malaysian away from home, I want to say that I REALLY appreciate Manglish. It makes us Malaysian unique as we are.
However, like all other things, Manglish has its place and time. I honestly don't think it's wrong to use "la" and "de" and "ma" during informal conversations! No need to get so uptight laaaaa : )
;) i din know goldie is 3 already! i wanna bring her for a walk again!
u-xinn, i disagree.
when you are abroad and among malaysians, it's fine. but not when you're meeting people from all over the world. it's disgraceful. especially the ones i got from friendster.
Yup, that's exactly my point! It has it's place and time!
Meeting people from all over the world would be an example of when NOT to use manglish (except for entertainment purposes..hehe..)
On the other hand, I think you're being too harsh on the poor blokes on Friendster! Haha! That's REALLY informal and I daresay that I am probably one of the many guilty of using Manglish there too!
Just food for thought! No offenses meant! : )
haha..u-xinn!
i don't think u've ever been caught or will ever be caught dead using that sort of english.
innocent. freed.lol
these people speak like that all the time. not just on friendster. friendster only serves as an example. lol.
btw, i was emo-ing that day. hehe.. it was my second last day in sydney.
