Merdeka 2006 Part II
During the weeks between our Independence Days, the question is sometimes asked, 'What does it mean to be Malaysian?'Erm... the easiest way to find out is to take the Malaysian out of Malaysia and into a different country.
Becoswai? You cannot take Malaysia out of the Malaysian....

A Malaysian in New York
[to the music of An Englishman In New York by Sting, though the funkier Jamaican In New York by Shinehead, is also nice….]
Don’t drink coffee, I drink teh si peng
And my hair colour one kind
You can see it in my motions when I walk
I’m a Malaysian in New York
Hear me walking down Church Avenue
Speaking loudly at my phone
People watch me and they talk!
I’m a Malaysian in New York
Chorus:
O-oh / I’m an AhLian / I’m a legal AhLian
I’m a Ma-laysian in New York
O-oh / I’m an AhLian / I’m a legal AhLian
I’m a Ma-laysian in New York
Sparkly varnish for my nails I like
(And) Hello Kitty merchandise
Short tops, shorter skirts, a practiced vacant smile
All this so I can look more kawaii
O-oh / I’m an AhLian / I’m a legal AhLian
I’m a Ma-laysian in New York
O-oh / I’m an AhLian / I’m a legal AhLian
I’m a Ma-laysian in New York
Bridge:
Fengtao rules at parties / and alcohol cause fighting
Star from Taiwan comes / We all go wild
But ‘coz New York so scary / We say we like to party
Talk only / We acherly no fun….
[Musical bridge]
Man cheats on his wife with someone else
(And) We find out it is her mom
Not the story from the latest K-drama
But my neighbour’s life in Manhattan
Foreign friends can’t figure what I am
Indian, Chinese or Malay
Doesn’t matter friend, regardless of the hype
I’ll go on / a class-A stereotype
O-oh / I’m an AhLian / I’m a legal AhLian
I’m a Ma-laysian in New York
O-oh / I’m an AhLian / I’m a legal AhLian
I’m a Ma-laysian in New York

Gimme a CHUP!
Hmm, is that where you really are?!!! Hmmmm... Hmmmm... AhPlink in New York, skating around TungKus..
o.O If only I was in New York....
*skates around TungKus with AhWongKor*
PlinkU in NY? hmmm... or London? hmmm... or SS2 eating mango-loh?
now I feel like eating nasi goreng kampung, how Malaysian!! hahaha!
Wouldn't it be lovely?
AhWongKor in Italy, angel in London, SA in Texas and me... I desperately need a holiday!
Nasi goreng kampung would be very nice! How Malaysian indeed! =D
I was just thinking how funny it would be if I did go to New York and do like it says in the song....
plian??? ^-^
Cannot take the maggi mee out my baggage for sure...hot, steaming assam laksa on a cold wintry night...
or Plinkie hiding in Penang? :P
*starts up The Last Waltz to skate around TungKus with the AhPlink*...... *while snowflakes drift down in slow motion from the evening sky* .... *grasps the Plinku's mittened fingers*... *yells for some plates of Nasi Kampung*... and *a couple of Teh Tariks KURANG manis*... *Oi! Rink #35.. Your time is up!*
Now that is what I call creativity
I remember how I used to change the lyrics of songs too, but for fun only
You are good... salute...
SA: Texans are a very friendly people? OK, that's one more name on my List of Places to Visit.
kat: plian?!?! ROTFLOLWAkaka!
*o.O at baggage*
Are you on holiday?
chen: Not Penang, not yet. But if I'm there, we go makan-makan togeder-geder with people-people, ok-ok? =)
LB:
I wonder should I go or should I stay
The band has only one more song to play....
Time is up?
*puts 50sen into jukebox*
*skates more with AhWongKor*
ZI: Thank you. I'm waiting to see your style also! =)

You are right there. No matter how 'un-M'sian' we are, we can never take M'sia out of us. ;)
plink,
Wow! It takess a lot of guts to own up to the fact that one's an Ah Lian.
Thanks for being so truthful.
I don't believe you are an ahlian, thought frankly there's nothing bad about that. You are so creative with your lyrics. LoL!
seefei: Thank you! Got no Malaysians in the lil' red dot? Maybe they are all hiding?
ZI: Dikit-dikit, lama-lama 'njadi bukit. Karat-berkarat, 'ngapa? Ku tak larat.... =D
FF: Yes, AhLian must be legal wan! If not, and considered Pirated AhLian then how? o.O
titoki: You're so right! Another way of saying it could be 'It our Un-Malaysian-ness that makes us so very Malaysian.'
Cocka: HOI!! Song onry! SONG ONRY!! Eh, your horriday nice or not?
Lil'Joy: I'm not an AhLian! NOT AN AHLIAN!!! It's just a song, honest! ;D
