.SmS.
I seriously think that people are getting more lazy to reply messages... sigh... recent conversation with my fellow friends..


"Eh, What time are you going back? Will you be going back with X or you tumpang other people?"
"x."


What the hell is that suppose to mean?? Then i resent another sms,
"What's 'x' suppose to mean?"
"No."


okay.. that left me puzzled for a while, then the next day i went ahead and asked him.
" Oi, i dont get your bahasa SMS, man. your Eng terrer sangat, i dont understand a thing."
" Haa,, x means Nola, Im not going back.."


.. in my head ... HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSE TO KNOW THAT. It could be no, im not going back, no im going back with X or no im not tumpang-ing other people?


He then added on, X tu... banyak mende tao..
X can mean:
- tak de ape-ape
- X nak
- ntah
- No
- Maybe
- X as in a smiley kinda thing
- target
- salah
- eyes (courtesy of Javey)
... banyak lagi tapi tak ingat..


Wow, so im suppose to decipher every symbol i get in an SMS?? Incredible...


Another example...
" Are you going to the cafe later? I need your help with something. see you there?"
" :p "


with my interpretation skills, i presumed it's a yes.. so i went and waited.. waited... and waited.. 1 hour later... he came..


"oi, knape awal sgt?"
" YOU SAID YOU"RE COMING!!!! But an hour late???"
" i kan dah hantar sms... told u i'll be there in a bit.."
" you hantar smiley face je kot.. how am i suppose to know that you'll be LATE?"
" Alaa.. sorry la Jo, smiley face tu, meaning later... laa.."


So now, i know that :p means
- later
- bluek
- *stick tongue out
- boo you
- x nak
- cant do it/cant make it/cant catch me
- smiley
....


Sigh. Not only that, i notice that usually it's GUYS who EXPECTS GIRLS to INTERPRETE their Bahasa SMSes.. sigh, it's okay if the girl's are regular and accustomed to these 'new skills' but macam i pulak, susah sikit laaa.... took me long enough to figure out..


nnt bwat mende laen = nanti buat benda lain


i am a B-A-K-U person kay, so mind your BMs on me, bolehla kalao nak short hand, tapi jgn yg terlalu extreme.. * usually i'd ask my chaletmate to bacakan.,.. hehee


Another thing that i notice is, that when guys dont know what to say.. they'd do this..
- :)
- thanks
- K
- Bye
- ??
- *no reply at all

I mean like.. be la gentlemen and creative sikit la.. and dont malas to type... try saying..
- Thanks, a lot for the advice. Goodnight and sleep tight now.
- You're the best!! Thanks a lot yea...
- :) you're so nice and sweet. Okay, i'll see you soon. Bye!
- Goodnight, sleep tight, dont let the bed bugs bite! :)


SMileys are nice, but when put with words ...


But then again, guys wouldnt be guys if they dont so these things right.. sigh...


Crappy bahasa sms...
