Rough Rhymes

Now if you've been trying to reach me in messenger but you can never seem to get through to me but instead see auto replies like "I'm smoking. Will be back in 5 minutes. If I'm not back by 5 minutes, please restart your clock" or "I am away. Will get back to you. If I don't, wait till I do. And if I still don't, pretend you neva messaged", it's not that I am avoiding you. Chances are, I am genuinely busy. It's not an attempt to avoid anyone. So please don't be a vain pot like some people I know. *Coughs*

Coming to the all important matter, I is indian, yes. But what many do not know is the fact that I was actually raised by a hokkien speaking chinese family. Confused I suppose? Nevermind about that. So just to benefit the common people I chat with in msn and confuse the shit outta them, I has come up with a hokkien mini dictionary of my own so that you will be able to comprehend me better in the future. See, I do not adapt to you. If needed, you adapt to me. So here are some common hokkien words I use. Together with my version of the meaning.

Word: Lao Pee Hui
Meaning: Nose bleed

Word: Lim Peh Ka Li Kong
Meaning: Let your father teach you

Word: Kau Peh Kau Bu
Meaning: Nag

Word: Choon Boh
Meaning: Sure anot

Word: Tu Lan
Meaning: Pissed off

Word: Hean Toh
Meaning: Fight

Word: Buay Song
Meaning: Not happy

Word: Si Mi Tai Chi
Meaning: What's up

Word: Han Na
Meaning: Yes in great agitation

Word: Chao Keng
Meaning: Abscond

Word: Wah Lan
Meaning: This word is subjective. Always look forward to the next word that follows this. If the following word reads anything like "NI NA BEH CHAO CHEE BAI", time to appear offline.

Enough said. So there we go. Just to facilitate the conversations a lil' bit. Adios, ni nao hiah!
