Just finished malay oral today... Did rather well, according to the cikgu :) Though my communications skills in malay are only limited to topics like 'My family', 'My friend', 'My hobby' and 'My housing estate'... I can even count them on one hand lol...
Even our topics have more or less 'standard answers'. The class today was joking about how all our housing estates have 'many facilities', with a swimming pool and shopping center nearby etc...
It's been a useful introduction to the language nonetheless, and I can now ascertain if the malay couple behind me are truly talking behind my back.
On a side note, here's a reason for resistant guys to get their eyes checked..Courtesy of butt-kicking qiyun
