Many of us have definitely been asked at least a dozen times the types of languages we speak, and we seldom realize that we speak more languages than we think are capable of...here's where Manglish comes in.
The true Malaysian English, at its best. Where loads of cynism and 'rojak' english are evident. If you speak Manglish, you will know that it is NOT English. It's way more complicated than that.
As proof, Manglish has more words than English. A classic example, 'lah'. Why lah? Dowan lah!
This is dedicated to non-Malaysians and non- Singaporeans...in case you dont understand what a Manglish speaker is tryn to get thru, here's what we mean;

New RM 50 note is coming out soon. It's very different from the previous version. It's printed on the preferred plastic + paper hybrid as you can see with the other smaller notes that has been printed such as the RM5 note.
Breast cancer is getting more common nowadays for women. It's one of the top killer disease for women. So ladies should DIY check their titty every month. Well, I'm sure guys out there can do a much better job because you are the one who is touching, caressing, fondling and kissing them (the breasts) more often than the ladies themselves.
Well, one thing to note is that the DIY checks should be done from the 7th till 10th day of the menstrual cycle. So guys, please ask your girl's cycle or help to track for them. I'm sure your girl will appreciate your help on this.
**Do NOTE that lumps/cysts is not necessarily CANCER. It MAYBE just malignant (non-cancerous) or disappear after a period of time. DON'T PANIC!!

There's something wrong with the Coke's advertisement picture. After a more detailed inspection, there's a girl's face with her mouth wide open waiting for something (which looks like a penis). Interesting huh?
