3. the bumiputeras speak better mandarin than me. (dont know lah theyre teasing me or what, but they have a lot of bananas here. i mean that yellow banana.)

5. people here consider a 10 minutes drive far.
6. UK stands for Ujana Kewangan (the ONLY mall in the state, with few shops).
7. people wear coveralls everywhere; to work, to restaurants, to the mall (i dont even need to put the 's') hahaha, to banks, in hotels, and to clubs/pubs.
