haha I guess not many ppl missed me her in blogging world eh ? Haha anyway sorry to my blog readers, well I was unavailable as I was having trial exams…which were erm…okay lets not talk about it . Today’s post is about …. :

Manglish !!! Haha how many times have we been caught using it? Some people can also have full justification on why they speak that way, and are super proud of it. I don’t feel that way ….Though I myself am guilty of speaking that way, but I don’t think we should justify our actions when it comes to speaking horrible and sometimes uncomprehendable English. It’s okay for me but sometimes it can get pretty annoying, especially when I can’t understand what is being said. On the other hand, when some one speaks with a heavy accent, be it American, British, Australian or any other…I find it sooo hard to understand at times too ! So what’s to all this language atrocities ??

Well that’s all I have to say, it’s to leave you all thinking A fellow blogger wrote a very good post on this and I was truly inspired to share this real life happenings which left me either dumb-founded OR laughing till my stomach and cheeks hurt so bad just from laughing ENJOY !

1. When I was pretty young , my family and I were  in a shop having Western food,  the waiter came all nicely dressed up and served us. When our food came, he asked ,” Do you want more chos ? ” . We all responded together , ” What ? ” Again it was repeated, ” Do you want more chos ? ” And the same question and answer went on btwn us and the waiter for 3 times, until finally he walked away and came back with a bottle of ketchup and chilli sauce. We all were like ,” OHH !! sauce !! ( poor waiter must have gotten mixed up with the pronounciation of sauce and sos )

2. My cousin was about 5 yrs old, and well obviously learning to spell. This was the conversation between grandpa and her. ( THIS IS THE RESULT OF POOR PRONOUNCIATION AND MANGLISH ) Cousin : Akong, how to spell niao-mind ?

Grandpa a.k.a akong : Nevermind ? N-E-V-E-R-M-I-N-D-

Cousin : ( she wrote the word just spelled out by grandpa ) NO la akong, that’s never–mind. I want you to spell niao–mind

Grandpa : There is no such word as niao–mind

Cousin : Got !! We always say wan…

( Haha …get the joke?? So do YOU say niao-mind or never-mind ? )

3. The result of  English words converted to BM, such as physical, fizikal etc… Again revolves around my cousin, she was  about 6 or 7 and mum and her we in the car driving, and she was reading signboards … :

Cousin : Mummy look ! A was ( read it literally as a was )

Mum : What is a was ?

Cousin : There the signboard says a was

Mum : ( turns to look ) NO , that’s AWAS !

( get it ? hahahaha )
