Hey just a few random things here and there for this post...

I found these photos in my phone when i was trying to clear its memory space... haha!

My 1st attempt at spegetti! well this one i'm not exactly sure if i've uploaded this before but at that time i felt that it was very cool! Hmm well actually now still v cool la...

This picture was actually taken in a fitting room in one of the shops in plaza sing... the image seen is a reflection from the mirror there... it's a very nice top esp the colour and material and cutting of the top and the design of the collar... but too bad it almost burst! Well time to 减肥!

Ah this 2 shows my brother driving my dad's car (thou he's not supposed to for the you-know-what reason) actually his 1st time driving a car is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better in the control of the leg than me.. but i have better control of the driving wheel lol...

This picture i can clearly rmb its taken at night on the day when i passed my driving test lol... i was so excited that i bought the triangle plates that day and immediately pasted it on the front and back of the car... and there i thought finally i can fetch my mom to pasir when i finally realised my dad went overseas that morning... oh well...

I just found this article online which is supposed to teach Bahasa Malayu that i think really applies to ALL singaporeans too... read on...

The Unique-LAH

This is unique to Malaysian only-lah. Eh.. what's that suffix "lah" doing at the end of the sentence?

You may find it is quite confusing, at first. These people are speaking English but what the heck is that strange musical note at the end of their sentences?

When you speak to a Malaysian, you may notice the suffix "lah" that often occurs in our conversation. "lah" is a suffix in Bahasa Melayu that is meant to add emphasis to a word or phrase.

For example, "Just do it" is "Buat sahaja" in our language. But it will be more forceful if you add the suffix "lah".

"Buat sahaja-lah".

The suffix "lah" is so natural in our tongue that we even adopt it when speaking English. "Just do it" becomes "Just do it-lah".

Only a Malaysian born and bred in this country will know how to use the "lah".

Here is a tip. P> Don't add a "lah" to the end of every sentence - thinking that you are making a good impression of a Malaysia accent. Trust me, you will not get away with that.

The use of "lah" is quite an art for those who were not born into the language.

Here are a few sophisticated variations of its use:

"No fun-lah, you!" (You're really no fun at all!)
"You see-lah, like that also you cannot do!" (Can't you even do such a simple thing?)

Stuck-lah! It has become a part and parcel of our life and will remain that way for a very long time. (wink!)

Here are a few simple variations that you can try to use.
I dare you ..heh..heh

Apologise Sorry-lah
Fed up Enough-lah
Definite Of course-lah or sure-lah
Generous Take some more-lah
Unyielding Cannot-lah
Reluctant Don't want-lah!
Suggesting Try-lah
Agreeable Okay-lah
Coaxing Come on-lah
Persuading Please-lah

Still can't get a hang of it?

Relax-lah! Practise makes perfect.

P/S:
Relax-lah or steady-lah is used when someone is getting a little uptight about something.
Like you - learning to use the suffix "lah". Just kidding!

These words urges the person (in this case, you!) to calm down /cool off.
