Welcome!

Funny. That's not how my mum put it.
I'm probably forgetting something.
Oh, Hang on, my mums family moved from china a few generations back.
And as i know, Malaysia doesn't like my mum, because she's Chinese!
Has the Chinese school thing always been in place, because I don't remember my mum telling me that.
Where in Malaysia are you then?

@abacus
No, no, kakama's probably right. It's just things change.

[The Kakama]

I live in Selangor.
Yes,this chinese school thing has been around forever(The school name starts with SJKC or SMJKC).

[Boingo]

SJKC. That sounds vaguely familiar.
My mum was from Segamat.
Now that I asked her, she says she didn't learn Chinese at school.
It was from my maternal grandmother.

And the only word in Bahasa I know is Awas.
Like that's gonna be useful?

There's a tree falling on top of you.

"Awas!"
"Uh?"

Only been to Malaysia eighteen times. Wish I could go back. Haven't gone for what, six years now?

[The Kakama]

Awas means caution.You should just say lari(run),and the Malay equivalent of uh is "eh".(Dang it,inner grammar Nazi)
Hmm...Segamat is in Selangor or Johor,I'm not sure.
Anyway,back to the new guy.

[Boingo]

And the way I found out what it meant was when we were driving along a road. Thank goodness we avoided the river!

Yeah, back to SubMe.

Hello?

[Vortex]

Chinese is a very hard language to learn.

Not so difficult. I learned to read&write han characters for basic chinese and japanese in 3 or 4 months, and the chinese pronunciation becomes easy once you get the hang of it (I found japanese easier, it's pretty similar to spanish, nearly every syllable is consonant+vocal)

[Boingo]

Oh, really?
Ok, yeah, the sounds are similar, but intonation in Mandarin is nasty....
We should move this to a new thread called "Languages: what do you speak?"

Anyway, bed time.

晚安。睡舒服。
不给那些床虫咬你！

Guess which famous kids rhyme that is?

[Rooster5man]

Ay caramba, I should've shut my mouth...XD

No, I mean a story that can go many different ways and you can decide what comes next by clicking in certain places.

I actually thought that's what Homestuck was

[Boingo]

Yeah, it's in Johor
Selangor is way up the peninsula, i think....near Kuala Lumpur, right?
I've only been to Malacca, Johor and the capital. Like, stayed at a house, looked around, stayed.

Literal Translation:
晚安。睡舒服。
不给那些床虫咬你！
Night night, sleep well, don't let the bed bugs bite you.

What it should be is, "Night night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite!"

[The Kakama]

Selangor is way up the peninsula, i think....near Kuala Lumpur, right?

Yes.If you look at it on a map,it should have two holes punched in it,one for the capital and one for Putrajaya.
