I was at this Malay fruit stall, and he was just started his business ...
Me: Eehh ... ada BETIK?
Boss: (without looking me, he handed me a pack of JAMBU)
Me: ... hhmm .... BETIK ada?
Boss: (this time, he handed me a pack of GUAVA!!)
Me: ... (-_-) ....
Me: PAPAYA ada jual sini tak?
Boss: (finally handed me a pack of PAPAYA ... with a big grin)
That was happened a few weeks ago, still I am wondering what could have triggered such scenerio. Either everyone of us are getting more advance or exposed to English education or that's the way we communicate nowadays - by Manglish, Cantoglish, Mandaglish or even Indiglish.
