Bobby's LA World

^^

Note: Malay words are translated into english.

Malay lessons, some of us hate it, while some of us love it. It may sound alien to most of us at first, but now we got used to it. As for me, I tried out the things taught during lessons, but it end up having a lot of bloopers. For example, I was buying sodas at the grocery store, and tried using malay to speak to the malay shop keeper.

Me: "There is a total of five cans here."

Uncle: "Ok."

Me (trying to act pro): "One can is fifty so five cans is twenty-five."

Before I even realise my mistake, the uncle and other customers who lnew malay began laughing out loud. When I realise my mistake, I quickly say sorry and ran out of the shop. I was so embarassed that I went all the way to NTUC to get my sodas.

Some of us like Deng Hang and Marc who learns Malay anticipate Malay lessons but I don't, for I'm afraid that I will become the laughing stock during the lesson. The following are dumb mistakes that I made:

Ms Mastura: "What is your name?"

Me: "Ms Mastura."

And

Ms Mastura: "What is my name?"

Me: "Me?"

Nonetheless, I still have to study malay, so I guess I have to work hard on it!
