Study Group

We the part-timers have set up amongst ourselves a study group. Basically we meet up and try to solve some advance math question.As we don't really have time for study, this is the most effective way. But what really happens is just the normal stuff. You know? Copy sana tiru sini hehehe

No lah, we discuss those question we can’t really solve and crack our head open in order to do that. Now, for your guys’ information, this study group basically consist of 5 people. Two Indonesian and the rest is Malaysian. Only one is part-timer and he is an Indonesian. The other Indonesian is an engineer working at Pasir Gudang, quite near to where I’m working at the moment. The other two work quite near to the university, but I digress…

Anyway, during the ‘discussion’ there’ll be some clash of language. Excerpt as per below:

Indo guy 1: yang ini bagaimana deh?

Me: oh, yang ini kena differentiate dulu, kembangkan and then lepas tuh buat partial fraction. Lepas tuh kita batalkan mana2 yang sama atas dengan bawah lepas tuh baru ikut Cauchy integral theorem.

Indo guy 1: ohh…gitu yah? Kita differentiate, jabarkan dulu, partial fraction emmmm…udah begitu kita coretkan yang mana sama gitu?

Me: (in a dumbfounded manner) err..ha’ah err..coretkan yang di atas dan di bawah…

Emm…frankly speaking the conversation would have been quite difficult for me due to different ‘term’, had I not always watch Indonesian tv. Dulu selalu sangat tengok ‘sinetron’ ( drama ) tv so I can guess what he was trying to say.

Btw, do you know that in Indonesian language, the usage of aku dan kamu is only used between lovers, antara cowok dan cewek? Kalau BM, perkataan aku dan kamu itu just the normal engkau, gua, lu etc. but in B Ind, apparently it’s the other way round.

So kalau gi Indonesia jangan cuba2 guna aku dan kamu. Guna saya atau gue (lagi rapat) dan awak. Selamat sikit.

There are other stuffs that we got to know too. Contohnya kalau orang2 Padang dan Sumatra tuh hantaran kahwinnya ikut education level anak gadis. Lagi tinggi anak dia belajar, lagi laaa tinggi hantarannya hehehehe.kat Malaysia ni macam orang Kedah, so I heard…
Good thing I prefer johorian ;)
