fantastic malay
[ soundcheck : take a bow - madonna ]
in between bouts of hovering in the kitchen to check out the knives collection and contemplating thrashing the living room, i remembered a conversation 2 weekends ago that tickled my pretty little toes.
jaswant : what's 'fantastic' in malay.. as in, fantastic 4?
syahrum & elii : ermm.. hmmm...
lots of ermms and hmms later..
syahrum : ah i know.. fantastic is like, you know.. 'sial ah'. ah yes. 'ish sial ah'..
all together : so it's 'SIAL AH EMPAT'. steady la.
distinction in o'levels malay thrown way out of the window.
