I'm feeling rather patriotic lately. hmmmm.

I learn many things while im here. It helps that i have roommates from, kedah and terengganu and a few of them who grew up in the boarding school world and just really in touch with their malay side. if you know what i mean, and that isnt a bad thing at all. infact while im here, i can take advantage of that too :) i've been learning how to use words that terengganu-ans use and speaking with the kedah slang with the accent and everything, and although they laugh at me when i do it, it's pretty fun learning about other cultures. After all, are we not one malaysia? :) For instance, apparently malay people eat pisang goreng with sambal and kicap. i find this weird but as my roommates say "tapi sedap sangat-sangat" they like to say "sangat-sangat" hahaha. and you know how we always say kopek buah and mean peeling it? in terengganu kopek means boobs. hahaha. and when they were explaining it to me they went silent everytime it came to the word boobs and they felt so segan saying it. hahaha. but i was just like you mean tetek? hahaha. sounds funny when i type it, i should be more demure or should i say ayu? dont you think. maybe their good habits will rub off on me. one of them being NOT sleeping all day :s do you know what they're doing now? classes hasnt even started and they're studying already! they're revising form 5 stuff, reading bio and englih essays. hahaha. Fat chance their rajin-ness will rub off on me though:( and back to the kopek story, in kedah kopek means wallet. so let's say a kedah-an were to go to terengganu and talk about their wallet, the terengganu people would think they were taking bout their boobs. hahaha. isnt this interesting? They also talk about lots of malay dishes and im like, i want mcd's and when they're eating jeruk buah after lunch, i want marshmallows.Its interesting how people from different ends of Semenanjung can have such varying taste buds :) oh well, maybe i can rub off on them? who says they cant learn a thing or two from me eh ;) im already rubbing off on one of my roommates, she's been sleeping all day. oh yes, they'll learn many from me :)
