What do you want to eat?

I went to the usual restaurant again tonight. Due to some work, today I ate outside twice, both lunch and dinner. To be honest, I don’t like to eat at that restaurant at night, noon time is fine, but not night.

Rice

There is this tauke nio who like to read all the available menu, which I can’t even catch one of it. The worst thing is, I can’t really ask her to go away. When I asked for 5 minutes, she came back within 2 minutes, even if there is no other customers.

The other thing I hate, which all KL citizen like to do most – Speak their own language. I mean mother tongue. Now first thing first, I don’t speak Cantonese. If you like to be a chinese so much with me, then speak Mandarin, isn’t it much more pure chinese than Cantonese? If you can’t express yourself in Mandarin or English, or Malay, be my guest, I understand Cantonese, no problem.

Sotong

The tauke nio doing the same thing. Doesn’t matter how many times I tried to speak mandarin with her, she just don’t get it. And I blame it on myself for not speaking English with her the first day :lol:

In this days, wearing breeches doesn’t mean you need to talk horse to them. Talk to them in “human understand-able language” , Cantonese, FooChow, Hokkien are dialect, leave it at home and your close one, ok?

Talking

In Malaysia, we need to really respect the multi-racial concept. Either use Bahasa or English. Bahasa is the best though, seeing how it is the national language and I bet any of you speak a word or two don’t we?

  1. Gotta agree with you bro. Some ppl js speak on and on in their mother tongue as if every soul understands it. I had my share of language problems in shops, and whats worst, I dont really understand mandarin, what more Cantonese.

    • Yeap, find an insurance or credit card sales person and see how they keep talking non-stop doesn’t even see if we can understand or not :P
