As a conclusion, giving up Manglish for good is futile. However, learning when to use it and when not to is not an impossible feat. We must learn to discipline ourselves at times as to make sure we speak proper English, the language the majority of all English speakers can comprehend.
That is an excerpt from a short article (?) I wrote on Malaysian English. It's something different than what I usually write. That's why of all the essays and articles I wrote this year for some purpose or another, this is my favourite. Credits to Elson for the topic.
My brother came back from Australia a while back. He's a lot different than before. He told my mum and I that the best way to prevent unwanted hair fall is to shave your head.
My brother a while back

My brother after his new realization
He told us that while we were buying shampoo at Tesco today. His hair has grown back, so he wasn't left out.
The first picture was the only proper picture of him available before his new 'hairstlye'. Don't ask me why his eyes aren't open. I don't know either. He would murder me if he saw the first picture.
Yup. That's all
For all you people who congratulated me, thanks, I appreciate it. Though really, looking at it in one way, its not an award, its a job. Quote : "Right now you would be all happy and excited, but next year...". And that's what makes me more nervous/worried than happy. Wish me luck, anyways.
