GOOD English

People like to tell me, "Your English is good," and soon they'll quickly add, "Can you help me with a document?"
I'm used to it, nothing really, but it doesn't always end up a happy chore.

See, I may speak English and write English slightly better than them, but I do not do documents professionally. Often times when I send the documents back to the person they'd say, "What are you trying to say, your English too good, I can't understand. Can you change it?" or "Wah, like this ar, I ask my xxx to check and see." I wouldn't bother too much if it's the first time, but 2nd, 3rd and 4th time it frustrates me because SINCE YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT MY ENGLISH IS TOO EFFING GOOD FOR YOU WHY DONT YOU DO IT YOURSELF OR ASK SOMEONE ELSE WITH POORER ENGLISH TO DO FOR YOU?
Please lah, don't tell me "Your English very good" when you reject my work. I said I'd try my best but I'm not a writer or anything alright? I do not need your so called praise. Seriously.


Not that this has happened recently, just something came up which reminded me of a past incident which I haven't remember to vent out the unhappiness. Haha. I guess, I forgive, but never forget. Sigh, I'm so done with Malaysians. I'm gonna migrate, to Mars maybe.
