On a separate note, my colleagues and I were discussing about how Malaysians ... sorry ... each Malaysian deserve an individual crown for being redundant. We repeat everything we say.

Main-main
Play-play
cuba try test tengok (WTF!)
gostan kebelakang sikit
reverse belakang (heh)
Rindu serindu-rindu nya (adui)

But but but ... the funniest statement in Malay would be this :

Sayang sayang sayang?

It's all in the intonation. Here, it's a person asking their 'sayang' if he 'sayangs' her (also the sayang).

And what would the answer be?

Sayang sayannng sayang.

Talk about creative writing.

p/s - If you're at Terminal Putra around 9.30ish (whenever I'm taking the train), please ask me for a lift. It's sad driving home alone and I love giving people free rides in my ride. That is if you don't mind my unpolished driving skills. =)
