So hubs and I were in JB last night for his granny's birthday dinner, and right after we went out with sister-in-law and her fiancee and mum-in-law for some drinks. We parked our car outside the cafe and were on the way crossing the street when a man and a lady, together with a boy approached us.The conversation we were engaged in last night:
Man: (In Mandarin) Errr, excuse me, this place here, must put parking coupon or not?
Hubs: (In Mandarin) I'm not too sure, maybe not, coz it's after the cut-off time already. I think it should be okay not to put the coupons.
Hub's phone rings, he picks the call and I'm left with the man, and another lady and young man.
Man: (Looks around)
Me: (In English) I think you don't have to, because the timing for parking charges is from morning till 6pm. Now is already 10.30pm, so shouldn't be a problem. It's quite different across different towns in Malaysia, but I suppose that's the way it is in JB. Don't worry, you can park your car for free. You're not local? From.......?
Lady: .....Singapore (smiles)
Man: WAH!!!! EH! You can speak English ah!!!! Wow, so fluent ah! You surely must also be from Singapore, right!
Me: No la! I'm Malaysian, I'm local. Heeeyyyyyy, Malaysians also can speak English fluently you know!
Man: Ya I know, but your's ah, very very fluent la!! This young man here, cannot speak so well, he's from ___ (another Malaysian town).
Me: It depends la...
We always are stereotyped to not know how to spiak Engreesh.
Excuse me sir, Malaysia Boleh!!!
