Beg your pardon please ...

(Two days ago, Airasia was launching their annual 1,000,000 free seats and it was like a Wall Street in my office as my colleagues were busy clicking and booking for their destination. You could easily overheard a string of expletives shooting around as some almost done booking when the 'page not found' error popped up!!
And hearing the words B-A-L-I again, filled me with nostalgia ... odd enough, all that i could remember where these lame stuffs ... *scratching my head*)

... that's my most 'inner heart' question whenever i talked with Balinese, although both Indonesia and Malaysia use Malay language, theirs are somehow .. hhmm ... hard to digestly-understood and worst still when they spoke English, most of the time, i just make a guess ...

Here are some of muntah darah conversations i find suitable to describe this 'chicken talk to duck' feeling i have ... :P


#1: From Airport ... Agus (our driver) introduced himself and ...

Agus: Hi, i am Agus ... nice to meet you ... what's your name?
Me: Call me Choo ...
Agus: oohh ... Tommy Choo ...
Me: (-_-)
Me: Just Choo ... just call me Choo ...
Agus: oohh ...
Me: (phew .. luckily, he didn't call me Justin Tommy Choo ... )


#2: While in van ...

Agus: So .. choo, have you married??
Me: Belum, saya belum kahwin ...
Agus: Ya ya ... kau kena nikah dulu, baru boleh kahwin ...
Me: !?! ... nikah and kahwin, tak sama??
Agus: hahaha ... nikah mean married ... kahwin mean having sex!!!
Me: .. oohhh ... (deng ....)


(Some 'blood-vomitting' converstation with my travel kaki as well ... )
#3: While travelling in van ... where everyone else was fasten asleep ...

Me: Hey Fong ...why don't you sleep ah ...
Fong: No ah ... it's too comfortable liao .. i can't sleep ...
Me: ??? ... what do you mean??
Fong: I will usually sleep in van or car when there is no air-con and very hot!!
Me: ... (-_-) ...
Me: That's not sleeping ... it's called COMA ...
