Caucasian: Good morning is selamat pagi and late evening is selamat petang, right?
Me: I am impressed.
Caucasian: So how do you say good afternoon? Mid-day?
Me: Errr…*blank, still blank, still blank...*The only thing running through my mind is selamat sejahtera and it is not what he wants. I could only let out a polite smile.
Caucasian: How embarrassing!
He proceeds to make his way out. I was offended, I do not consider bahasa as my first language and while I am here in Australia, my mandarin and malay are basically non-functional. Before he managed to get out of the pharmacy, I uttered selamat tengah hari. Nonetheless, he was not convinced.
Then, there was this teenage boy who sat in the middle of the bus lane with a meditating pose, trying to be cool because his friends are around. A Transperth patrol car arrived with two officers. He stood up and ran away. Good on ya mate! Hope you have a nice weekends!
There has been lack of updates here. Time has been rough for me. My marks have hit the new low and what-not, everything is at low. Baby are you down down down down down.... I am unfortunately.
