IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO

salam!! hi!! i want to share something with you guys.. i went to KL Sentral this afternoon for some business. on the way, i encountered two different scenes.



scene 1: conversation between 2 persons, Chinese and Malay. they were waiting at the opposite direction. one headed to Bangsar, and his friend headed to Terminal Putra. While waiting, they're chatting using sign language, you know..the one with hands movements. i was amazed. seems like they were having fun. judging from their expression. yep. they looked excited. even though they are far away from each other. they were enjoying it. ignoring people whose continuously watching them. perhaps, those people share the same amazement as mine.

Scene 2: I was in the train. on the way back to UIA. i sat next to a group of ahjunma. 2 Chinese, 1 Malay, and 1 Indian. they are at their 40s.. looking at their hair colour.. teehee... wearing an id card, same company.. maybe they were having their lunch break.. on friday.. we have longer lunch break in Malaysia. they were happily chatting. in 3 different language. o.O Chinese, Malay and English. *oookkkaayyy... i know.. i was amazed, again* during the conversation, the Chinese lady speaks Mandarin, and the Malay lady replied in English, and Malay. same as the Indian. *wooo.. ahjunma!!! nak signnnnnn......*

Research findings: Language is absolutely not a barrier for a good communication. looks how its strengthen people's relationship from different background. nothing is impossible as long as we try our best to suits each other needs. that is what we called 'give and take'.. or respect.. i believe. ^^


yours truly..

true. some people say that actions speak louder than words. than...it's true that language is one of the means in communication and many other things we need to consider in communicating.

i agree..
i'm glad to have friends from all over the world and we spoke English comfortably, and to add with that, with some mandarin and korean inserted on our conversation. It's fun since those are not our first language..
