Gongxi Gongxi lu sama family!

In the spirit of Chinese New Year and muhibbah-ness, my mother sent me a CNY greeting in... Malay?

Anjing pegi, Babi mali
'sueh' pegi, 'ONG' mali
Untong untong manyak kali
Hali hali suka hati
Kena ekor kena loteli
Gongxi Gongxi lu sama family

And they say we don't integrate enough? I think, just like Manglish, there should be a special way to term the brand of Malay the Chinese speak and have come to call their own.

And for once my mother actually sent me an entertaining forwarded sms!
