Ipoh Mali

.

I called a friend, Din Taxi, last week and got a funny ringing tone. Must be overseas, so I quit. No need to make Ananda Krishnan richer. So I messaged him, no choice but to make Ananda Krishnan richer, but by just a bit. True enough, he’s in Beijing. Din Taxi, I mean, not Ananda.

“Wei, ada amoi ka?”

The answer came back, “Talak ooo…”

“Wei, you in Beijing. Beijing in China. In China ada more than 1 billion people and no amoi aa….?”

“Talak ooo… Semua pergi Ipoh ooooo.”

Semua pergi Ipoh? Oh OK, maybe that’s where the expression Ipoh mali came from.

Sabar ajelah….
