My conversation with the petrol pump attendent


I was at a petrol kiosk not far from my house today.

Petrol Pump attendent : Saya Faisal dari Pakistan (I am Faisal from Pakistan)
Me: Berapa lama sudah di Malaysia? (How long have you been in Malaysia?)
Faisal: 3 tahun (3 years)
Me: Umur awak? (your age?)
Faisal: Saya 21 (I am 21)
Me: Boss okay? (is your boss okay to you)?
Faisal: Ya, sangat baik boss saya (Yes, my boss is very good to me)
Me: Ada hantar duit balik kampong? (Do you send money home?)
Faisal: Ya. Saya dapat RM700, hantar RM500 tiap bulan (I earn RM700, send home RM500 every month).
Me: RM200 lagi untuk belanja? (Another RM200 for your own use?)
Faisal:RM 100 saya belanja, RM 100 lagi saya simpan (I use RM100 and I save RM100)
Me: Awak anak baik (You are a good son)
Faisal: Mak saya pun ibu baik (My mother is also a good Mother)

I felt like hugging him! You are a good son and I am sure she is a good Mother, having brought up a responsible, matured 21 year old like you. May God look after you and bestow his blessings on you!
