malaysians and their funny terminology .....my young, pretty and trendy colleague, selectively, had been asking her peers for "ubat (medicine)". Obviously the common reply would be "ubat sakit apa?". Conversation went on to "aiyah ... ubat ituuuuuuuuu." "ohhhhh. ada. nanti bagi" "ubat you warna apa?" "huh??? warna???" "merah-kah? biru-kah? hijau-kah? saya mau ubat biru, cepat sembuh." "ohhhhhh ... jangan bimbang, banyak cantik. sakit hati, sakit kepala, sakit jantung, macam-macam sakit, SEMUA pun boleh sembuh. guaranteeee!" "ok brother. nanti kita jumpa pukul 4pm. tempat biasa."
being a busy body and a curious person, i had to ask but received a funny crude answer to take no note of this medicine (*people like you, none of your business for your own good).
took me a good 5 minutes to figure out that ubat = cig. hmmmm ... not enough vocabulary? can't own up to the fact that you are a female smoker? or just trying to be funny?
note to cheekypau : (lesson learned) - cheekypau being judged as a young and innocent gal although in actual fact a little devil in disguise.
