Like I said before, the Caucasians have a beautiful way of expressing themselves.
For example, how my Australian BFF goes:
Is there enough room, JL?
as opposed to our very M'sian
Eh, enough space anot?
Well, in another class, he said:
...... and on the other side (of the paper) as well
what do we say in M'sia?
.... oh, at the back also got. (LOL!)
and I remember when we were discussing our presentation parts, as in which part we wanted to do/liked to do. It went something like this:
Hey, JL. So, which part would you like to do? Any preferences at all?
As opposed to:
Eh! So, do what-ah?/which one?
Isn't English an amazing language? LOL.
And yes, I have to agree with Marianna. Her point about the amount of language spoken. The Asians generally don't speak much. HINT: Talk to me... and you'll realise how MUCH I speak. The Caucasians on the other hand GIVE OUT information too freely! Which is what I find MOST amazing about them. LOL. If you're a Malaysian, and you give out too much info about yourself, you'd be deeemed talkative or err.. a show-off-er... and the one forcing you to open up will be called 'penyibuk'. Right????
Hehe...
PS: I stumbled upon her OLD blog :)
