Chepat lah Pompuan

Playing with the classy font Arial again, this time with a Malay word.

Pompuan

From the Malay friends I was surrounded with in my school days, you'd think that I would have been able to manage some sentences in their language by now. Not the case for me! But some of these munjen Chinese people are able to do so after prolonged periods of time of being exposed to the language, and I'm not one of them.

Perhaps I never really took the effort to learn it(lazy, lazy). But from the smattering of random words, I can remember Pompuan (Woman / Girl), because Adi used to bellow Pompuan! Hurry up lah! at me in the drama clubhouse.
