Too Much of English ~ 2

1 here

...

after the golf club,

i went to an aircraft engineering company;

and told the security

"morning, kami ada first aid training." (morning, we have a first aid training)

and the security told us something like the person in charge of the training didnt sent them any email, so we are not allowed to go in. they asked us to call to the person in charge.

so we called but no one pick up the phone.

then somehow i heard that another security said

"diorang ni pengajar untuk kelas pertolongan cemas!"

which means "they are the trainers for the first aid class!"

then the first security acknowledged

"oh, pertolongan cemas!"

which means "oh, first aid!"

...

afterwards, my partner that day gave me a tip;

that if i were to talk to a Malay, speak Malay first.

if they were to reply you in English, then only you can speak English.

if not people will think that you are acting proud, stuck up or arrogant.

and not many people are well educated in English.

well next time,

im gonna be more careful.

because i would never have thought that

some people out there do not know what "first aid" is.

they only know "pertolongan cemas".

btw my brain is still not satisfied.

why the heck some people out there do not know what "first aid" is?

even if it is English, it is kind of a common term.

did they really never heard of "first aid"?

not even once?
