So, Nick started emailing me in Malay. I thought it would be interesting to reply in like, to see how well I could still write in that language, seeing that I've been gone 8 years now.
What I meant to say:

Dear friends,
Nick and H are thinking about coming over this weekend. If they do come, we could do a BBQ. LP, is your wife here yet? It's been a while since we last saw her. Also, you have yet to meet Kristin yet, no? Moreover, this weekend your cousin TS's girlfriend will be flying in, so we could have a nice gathering.
Nick, if you and H come, you can crash at my place. LP and CW too. Don't worry about space. At the worst, we can crash at Kristin's place; she's got a nice apartment. Or, the boys can sleep in the bathroom. Let me know if you're coming.

P/s: My Malay's f*cking rusty, need to practice!



What I came up with:

Rakan-rakan sekalian.
Nick dan H sekalang sedang fikir mahu mari hari Sabtu dan Ahad. Kalau mereka mari, boleh buat barbeque lar. LP, lu punya wanita, oops, isteri sudah datang ke Amerika tak? Sudah lama tak nampak. Lu pun belum jumpa saya punya teman Kristin kan? Lagipun, minggu ini lu punya bodoh saudara TS punya teman wanita akan datang juga. Jadi boleh mengadakan jamuan lar.
Nick, kalau lu dan H datang, boleh tumpang kat kami punya rumah. LP dan CW juga. Ada tempat tidur lar, tak perlu bimbang. Kalau tak cukup, boleh tumpang juga kat Kristin punya apartment, banyak besar and cantek. Atau, kami jantan boleh tidur dalam tandas.
Beritahu kami lar, kalau datang atau tidak.

P/S: Bahasa sudah puki-karat, mesti latih!



My BM teacher Puan Noraini would have been so proud.

Errr, this i what I got:

Sayang kawan-kawan,
Penjara dan H sedang berfikir tentang datang hujung minggu ini. Sekiranya mereka silalah datang, kita boleh melakukan satu BBQ. LP, adalah isterimu di sini tetapi? Ada ia sekejap sejak kita berakhir gergaji nya. Juga, anda ada tetapi untuk memenuhi Kristin tetapi, tidak? Tambahan pula, hujung minggu ini sepupu anda teman wanita TS akan terbang dalam, jadi kami akan mempunyai satu perhimpunan yang baik.
Nick, jika anda dan H datang, anda boleh melanggar pada tempat saya. LP dan CW juga. Jangan bimbang tentang ruang. Di paling teruk, kita boleh melanggar pada tempat Kristin; dia mendapat sebuah pangsapuri yang baik. Atau, budak lelaki boleh bangun lewat bilik mandinya. Biar saya mengetahui jika anda akan datang.

P/s: Saya Malay's f*cking berkarat, perlu amalan!

LOL
