I’m Speech-less
Yup, literally.
I have been given the unenviable task of delivering a speech tomorrow, in Malay!
Might as well ask me to decipher Egyptian Hieroglyphics or write a text in Sanskrit!
Umm…it says here, the pharoah likes to wear skirts!
The last time I actually delivered a speech in Malay was, ….err….; Never?!!!
While I pride myself in my ability to speak Malay rather well, it’s not the case when I have to speak it in a formal speech!
I lack the ‘flair’ of a politician’s speech. I don’t know how to make a ‘diabetic speech’ ~ meaning a speech full of sweet sounding words, never mind that it doesn’t mean anything at all. In short, I don’t know how to LIE!!! 
I have less than 16 hours to get one ready.
I am so dead.
Sat, 151207 @ 1634; how do you write a speech while nursing a huge migraine headache?!!
Nila, for some reasons, your comments always end up in my spam-box and so you don’t see it being published immediately until I ‘rescue’ them from the spam-box! I wonder why..
Alas, i saw this too late. Can’t really help you now. Next time need some Malay speech “cooking”, remember to find me!
dun forget ’selamat sejahtera diucapkan kpd …….’ and ’saya mengakhiri ucapan saya dengan ucapan terima kasih kepada hadirin sekalian kerana sudi meluangkan masa di sini …….’
its not tat hard. dun worry k.
You sure can do it!
Pop a couple of Panadols and Google up an English-Malay dictionary. =)
