bahasa melayu

Hello everybody,sorry i didn't blog for awhile,I've been busy with my holiday(yay!!).for your information I've been doing part time jobs,most of it are events like family day,children's day and anything that links to healthy, joyful, smiley kids.Our lorry driver(ah weng) is a young,educated,good looking Chinese man..he drives lorries for extra money,and he drives a Mitsubishi lancer(grrrr)..anyway as we were on the way to the site,he talk about cars and how he modified and race around K.L.he was talking to 5 malay boys including me...so..the conversation is as follows.......
Ah weng : waa gua punya kereta antar itu bengkel woo..
malay guy 1:kenapa maa???
Ah weng :waaa race alitu malam,sampai tayar haus wooo...
malay guy 2:Sampai tayar aus ah??manyak laju owh you bawak...

And the conversation goes on...what do you see from the above conversation??
what i see is 5 malay boys followed the way ah weng talk which was bahasa melayu rojak Chinese style..i am ashame because i am one of the malay guys(eheh)..but these things happen because we didn't do anything about it, other than following the way ah weng talk..even himself doesn't understand what he is talking about.It is the same with other foreigners..for some people,if a maid speaks in Indonesian slang, their employers would follow,if this carries on until when will they learn our beautiful bahasa melayu??when i went to U.K when i was small,i didnt know anything,i just know hello I'm sufi, I'm 6 years old,and other simple sentence...but people around me(teachers,and friends) they taught me and scolded me...when they scold me, i remember my mistake and never repeat the same error.by 6 month i can speak fluently plus with a British slang.(hehe).So moral of the story is,love our bahasa,and teach those foreigners the way we roll in our hood.i love to right more but my sister is pressuring me to finish it off quickly so we can go out.kay bye!!!
