So, there's this new girl at work. Not at all surprising, seeing how my workplace employs far too many people to be able to pay them properly.
But hey, this time, the new girl is a Malaysian. She's in UK with her mom and two younger siblings; planning to settle down here sometime soon. And she's currently trying to complete her GCSE here.
This girl is sweet and innocent. But unbelievably dumb. At first, I was kinda glad that there is a fellow Malaysian working at the same place with me. We can bitch in our bahasa rahsia (nyahahhaha!). So, I asked which part of Malaysia was she from. She told me she was from KL. And I told her I was from Sabah.
...
Yessss... for some unfathomable reason, West Malaysians like to ask stupid ignorant questions when it comes to East Malaysians. She did not fail in that department.
Girl: So, do you know how to speak Malay?
Me: [dumbfounded] Of course! Sabah is part of Malaysia! Everyone speaks Malay.
Girl: But well, I thought, cos ur from Sabah, that u speak differently.
Me: [even more dumbfounded] Oh sayang, we do speak Malay...
How stupid. Then, the next day, I told her I was lived in KL for 2 years and she was genuinely quite surprised. Probably cos she assumed that I've never stepped foot in KL in my entire life. That was the impression that I got.
Me: So, which part of KL do u live in?
Girl: Wangsa Maju. Do u know where is that?
Me: [u gotta be kidding me!] Yea, I know. When I was in KL, I stayed in Subang. And I miss Pyramid so much!
Girl: Ohh! Sunway Pyramid is near Subang as well!
(=.=)
Girl: Sometimes, they hold concerts there, and they have a surf pool, bla bla bla...
Me: I knowww. I've been to a concert there before.
OH MY GAWWWDDDD! Bodoh sial.
