I nak "Raba" the West Malaysian way.

I've always thought you'll only get funny remarks or statements from secondary and primary school students but I never thought I could get it from college students. I gave my students break after going through an arduous work on grammar exercises. 

Some students of course preferred staying in the class enjoying the air conditioned room. I was taking some time off myself when I overheard the conversation my students were having.

Shah: Zura, nak raba.
Zura: Tak nak.
Shah: Ala..Zura..nak raba.
Zura: Tak boleh.
being rejected...
Shah: Sue, nak raba.
Sue: Nah, raba.
Shah: Yay! Zura tak nak bagi raba.
Sue: Zura tu memang.
I had to look to see what they were up to and it was not what I had expected, "Fuh...they were not caressing one another."

Shah was asking for an eraser aka rubber...

monologku: itu la dia, nak rubber nak rubber...
