~Miscommunication~

Budin is a part time worker at the petrol station during his leisure time while he is waiting for his result for Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia(STPM).

This is a dialog between Budin and his friend Rahim.

Rahim : Working here is not difficult enough.Now if anyone who want to fill the fuel,they can do by itself.We just sit down on the kios take care of the counter and help the customer when they need some help.But,we also washing the windscreen but not all cars.

Budin : Sit at the counter,just take care of the money.Rilex,and also have the aircond.I’m just weird,why our people don’t want to work at the petrol station,always full foreigners from Bangladesh.

Rahim : I also don’t know,our people is lazy,after the examination,their parent don’t want their children looking for a job,but they give their children a motorbike.That’s why,many teenagers nowadays involved with negative problem such as ‘Mat Rempit’.I really respect at you Budin.While waiting the STPM result,you doesn’t waste your time,looking for the experience whether you’re only working at the petrol station.

Budin : Three days I work at here,I feel that it’s not so bad in here.We can ‘wash’ our eyes.There’s a lot of pretty girl at KL,with their own style.

Rahim : But,workinh at here little bit of dangerous.Bad people always robbery the petrol station.I’ve been robbed once,urine in my trousers.They want the money,I give all the money in the drawer.At least I’m safe.

Budin : We can’t do anything at the time?

Rahim : Want to fight?Are you crazy?They came here not by itself,also bring the weapon.If they attack me,I’m dead.That why when I saw curious car,I started to ‘cuak’.

Budin : How type of car want to ‘cuak’?

Rahim : Don’t you realize the modified blue kancil?Three time it came here but doesn’t fill the fuel.Maybe it want to rob us!I’m so ‘cuak’!.

Budin : Is that blue kancil with the sunroof that you’re talking about?I’m realize that it modified the car differently with the spare tyre hang at the back,same like Kembara car.Wait…

Budin quickly came out from the kios and then Rahim can see clearly Budin take a pail of water and watering the car.Happen a fuss between two boy in the car with Budin.The manager of the petrol station forcely came out to solving the fuss.And then,Budin enter the kios with a sour face.

Rahim : Why got a fuss at there?Why you watering that car?

Budin : I ‘cuak’ that car like you told me.The person on the car very angry with me and want to attack me with stering key.Luckly,Encik Bakar came quickly.If not,I’m dead.

Rahim : Why they’re so angry with you?

Budin : It is because their sunroof was open,and the water wet all the seat and carpet.The water also sump in the car.Luckly,Encik Bakar promise them want to wash and dry it but my salary will cut.They came here three times because they got a stomach aches and want to use our toilet.

Rahim : I don’t ask you to watering the car.

Budin : But,you told me to ‘cuak’ and then I go for it.Concidence,there’s a pail of water to washing windscreen.So I ‘cuak’ that car.

Rahim : ??????

In that time Rahim realize that ther’s some miscommunication between him and Budin.Budin doesn’t understand the meaning of ‘cuak’ that the Rahim told at him.In these case,the meaning of ‘cuak’ that have told by Rahim is fearor dread but in Perak dialect,’cuak’ means watering or douse.
