Penangite Hokkien's Language

Just want to share with you all, I got this from email :)

I have been living in Penang all my life - also known as "The Prince of Wales Island", it is an island which was dominated by the Hokkien clans of the Chinese race. Most people here speaks Hokkien dialect. It was the colloquial communication medium in Penang .. and it has been like this for almost a century. But then, the Hokkien dialect in Penang did not sound a wee bit like those originated from China . It was entirely different from the original. Why ?

Well, that's because Penang 's a multi-cultural place and over the years, the Hokkien dialect somehow had evolved into something different?. into almost like an entirely new language itself. Slangs and shits like that. Just like what the Americans did to the original King's English. So, in conjunction with our national day spirit, I would like to share some of the most commonly used Hokkien slang in Penang .. hope that it will promote better understanding about the unique cultural establishment here?

Not A Great Dragon, Won't Crossing The River

Recall back the overseas working experience.

Once, during the flight from Bangkok (Survanaboom Airport ) to Malaysia (KLIA-LCCT), I met a Massage Guru.

Usually I back with my own and probably will sit together with other flight passenger.
That trip, I met him ( forget what is his name :P ) , really a Massage Lecturer, he started from a small massage business and now grow to several branches already.

He told me, usually those marriage, who will help their husband or wife massage. Thus, they are looking for massage courses. Here its come the business.

He went to Bangkok to learn up and experience the massage technique. According to him, he would want to try out the massage technique all around the world. What's amazing idea.

After we talk for several topic, and my turn to spoke why I went to Bangkok for so long period ( that time around 14th month in Bangkok )

I was telling him, I just a normal programmer working oversea for client project.
He just smile and said in Chinese: " Not A Great Dragon, Won't Crossing The River "
A proverb in chines means that only qualify person will be selected for certain task.

woooo, first time I heard from others ( may be I praise him a lot ka ka ka..)
but in my heart, just LOL... That time still struggling in the 'deep river' and suddenly heard this spiritual support sentences, it really help me to generate confident and energy to win over the obstacle.

Fortunately , I survive at last. Working overseas is great and let me experience more in my life.
Yet, don't always visiting the same places.. else.. really bored.

There are lot special strangers you will met up if you travel in the international flight! It is fun to know more about them!
