last year my friends and i went to Australia for vacation. When i was at Sydney International Airport i went to a pharmacy to buy something. Proceed to pay at counter and a lady age around 40 greeting me and we had conversation as below :

she : Would you like a bag?
Me : Yes..
she : Where are you from?
Me : owh..Malaysia. Why?
she : Because you replied YES
Me : ??? - and gave her the money
Me : thanks - and walk away
she : no manners (whispering to her friend)

Did i made any mistake for replied to her 'YES' to get a plastic bag? The same answer i used when i was at Tasmania and no problem at all.

dexa, yes that what im thinking after i left the shop. maybe i didnt say magical word 'please'. My mistake...wont happen anymore :-)
anyway for me she is working at international airport and she should know that she may get foreign visitors like me and most of them may not good in english (like me). so still it can be forgiven and acceptable, as my friend says the women could be categorize under redneck people.

thanks dexa ;-)

taken from http://dictionary.reference.com
an uneducated white farm laborer, especially from the South.

redneck can be represents as someone from rural area who usually think only them are correct, coz they haven't get opportunity to meet people outside from their neighborhood. so usually they are bit conservative and may think that their culture is same like others. -please correct me if im wrong-

mate.. not gonna take a rocket scientist to answer this...

MOSTI ler  product of malaysia

produce ada 2 makna mate (eh tak per ke aku tulis kot BM gak ni.. ha)

1.  produce tu kira mcm sayur-sayuran ;  salad, sayur.. tu produce : noun

2. produce juga bley guna mcm ni, contoh:

malaysia wants to produce a poultry vaccine
(kat sini  produce tu kira verb ler)

or

toyota camry will be produce in malaysia

so nanti nyer.. toyota camry will be a product of malaysia

contoh camni:  potong exora is produced in malaysia

therefore: potong exora is a product of malaysia



bley mate??

nanti soh worang 'korek' aku kalu aku silap, wokkeyyy..  saje nak try jawab nih..

*and as a token of appreciation -
i shall give credits for all the post that you contribute in here -

do i still get the credits if i post in English?..just asking since  the posts above didn't get any credit anymore (correct me if i'm wrong)
don't get me wrong,i do not post any comment here just to get the credit..just asking since you did mention in the earlier post that you would give credits to those who post in English..
*actually i don't have idea and not sure what should i write. that's why i asked you the question!

curiousity

by the way, can anyone recommend any website that  give us chance to speak in english?i believe the best way to be fluent in english is by practicing and speaking in the language itself.
when i was a student, i enjoyed English class very much.That was the only time that i can speak in english and started to feel confident. that was the only time  i believed i can speak in english better. However,it was 2-3 years ago.
Now i'm working and all of my colleagues and friends are Malays.i do not speak in English anymore and don't have the confident and courage like before.

well, if you can write proper english, you probably can speak proper english too.However, you just lack the confidence.
so even if I provide you website to teach you to speak in english it won't help.
You need to practice speaking with people to gain the confidence.
But if you want to practice speaking, you can try to say along when watching english series.
I know some people who did that

There is no magic potion to overcome it. You just have to practice. Start speaking in english with your friends. They probably going to think its weird at first but then they will get use to it.

I think I've came across few websites recently which provide English lesson and allow us to have two-way communication with native English speaker as well. You need to set up your skype account for that. Perhaps you can just google up to find the infos.
