Today I called Malaysia immigration dept to ask about something.... I was greeted by an automated voice saying I'm being directed to one Malaysia one call centre in Malay, of coz~ then this guy picked up, obviously he talked to me in Malay~ I could understand bits and pieces but not full..let alone speaking in Malay~ so I replied in English! I thought he would switch but he continued to ask me something in Malay.. Maybe he thought the same that I would switch.. Hahaha.. Anyway, our conversation went on for about 5 minutes and he kept speaking in Malay and I kept speaking in English! It is quite funny if an outsider was listening to us but we communicated just fine~
This remind me of my first day back to Kuching two weeks ago. Jenn took me to buy fabric and there was this nice lady helping us. I wanted to get a really long fabric but I didn't know how long it should be~ so I said to her in broken Malay: "ceiling sampai...." Then I turned to jenn and asked her what is floor in Malay? Ceiling sampai lantai! Wow! It rhythms! Haha, she understood me
