Fairy Speaketh Fairy Language
ie squealing twittering giggling laughing

I thought i could leave reading malay behind me when i finished SPM
Oh how wrong i was…
I’m force-reading some malay pantun online and trying to translate it cos my malay is so freaking bad now!!!

Obviously it’s for work or else i wouldn’t be doing this

My malay is damn bad
Seriously bad
I’m just going to blame it on early education in UK

An example of how bad my malay is
“What does ‘belaian jiwa’ mean?” AdamPoserPan asked me one day
I’m supposed to be the more Malaysian one here, so i confidently answered
“Hmm jiwa is soul… and belaian is swinging. So it means swinging of the soul.”

Later on, i was proudly telling someone how i translated for Adam

“Joyce. Belaian is soothing. *Buaian* means swinging.”
“Oh YA HOR. CraP motherf…”

So yeah.
Never ask me for directions.
And never ask me to translate malay.

*10 minutes later*

Eh seriously la fuck…
I’m reading the website going
Ha…. what does this word mean… omg what’s this next one… omg laaaaa

Damn wrong, someone slap me.

    I have the same problem with Chinese and I spent 12 years learning the damn language. And I’m Chinese. Well for the most part anyways. I do not think I deserve to be Chinese.

    I’m proud that I can speak Malay and English fluently and a smattering of Chinese. A trilingual? Bleh. Can’t speak fairy language though. :(

    if you need any help you can ask me… I’m the kind of sick mofo who translated the malay poems in the high school syllabus into english for fun back in class cause I was BORED. So at least I had some practice.

    email it to me or something : feirith at hailmail dot net
