10 Problems Malaysians Studying Abroad Face

MEH.

1. Everything is converted to MYR

AUD10 for Nasi Lemak?

You cray? That's like RM30.

2. Malaysian Airlines

Oh so you're a Malaysian, what do you think about MH 370?

NO.

There's too much of explanation and I don't feel like talking about this issue again.

3. Feel outcasted

Happens when friends in Malaysia post gathering pics in facebook or instagram.

Also, when your family is having a great dinner and sends it to you.

4. Late night cravings but NO mamak or street food

I want satay, roti tissue with teh tarik!

5. Having LDR with Malaysian food

Just because food overseas aren't as great as the one back home.

You cook when you're abroad but the taste isn't that right.

It just lack some oomph.

MEH. :/

6. When your foreign friends try to use "lah"

Sometimes I just wanna tell them to chill and don't try too hard.

The way they put "lah" at the back just doesn't sound right.

Just speak English lah, I understand.

7. Can't quite express your true feelings

You just can't use words like "walao eh" "bo jio" "ffk" or any others because they just know what you're talking about.

and sometimes you rather just use the proper word for it than explaining the meaning of the slang to your friends for half an hour.

8. NO chili sauce

there's only SWEET chili.

and the ones indicated 3 chilies on the menu is NOT HOT AT ALL!

I crai. :(

9. Forgetting some Bahasa

Only implies on non-Malay speakers.

Quick quiz:

1. What is watermelon in Bahasa?

2. What is Wednesday in Bahasa?

I failed both. I'm so sorry, BM teacher.

10. Shopping centers and bank close early

are you serious? who closes at 5pm?

I just finish my class.
