This is Malaysian Interlanguage!

Yes, you must get used to the local nuances when English is spoken among the Malaysians particularly those with half their education in Mandarin and the other half in English. Mixed it up with maybe a a dialect or two and pronto evolves a very lively glossary of daily terms used to spice up conversation. Look at words in the picture below and use them when you come to town,won't you?

Walla! What a Language!

The Fifth Circle of Dragons

Bold and Beautiful

Yes, the fifth circle of dragons can be mighty old. Right?

We are the Fifth Circle if you were born in 1952.

Year for Marriage and Babies

So, you have one great year to look forward and to do good to humankind.

For those sans health problems and can still travel, do it this year.
Let it be local travel if you do not like the long haul.

To those who can donate, do a little donation to the needy now and then.

Power and Generosity

Go home and see your old folks. Give them money because it means more to them. Treasure the opportunity to give to loved ones.

Power of the Dragon

Visit friends. Forget about old enmities, ancient jealousies,class, rank and race. Forget the rat race;forget about collecting properties and shares. Bond whenever you can even if it is over teh tarik at Kayu's

Eat what you love but in moderation.

Have one great dragon year,you hear?

Subject to Interpretation

Lonely at the Top? The True power?

You do not need to know Suntzu's Art of War to interpret this picture, do you?
