Malaysian Pirate

That's what Hil calls me...Not because I download Malaysian music, or that I go to Malaysia to buy pirated goods (well, not a lot at least). Actually, come to think of it, I have no idea why he calls me that - The "Malaysian" portion to be exact.

Anyway, pirate or not, I decided to make a list of all the silly things I used to say...You know how it's like when you're growing up and you just pluck words from your limited vocabulary to make sense of what was said? Yea...something like that.

During mass

Pirated: "Thanks bittergourd"
Actual: "Thanks be to God"

Pirated: "Lord I'm not worthy to receive you but only say the word and I shall be ill."
Actual: "Lord I'm not worthy to receive you but only say the word and I shall be healed."

Singing songs

Pirated: "Sweet dreams are made of cheese..."
Actual: "Sweet dreams are made of these..."

Pirated: "Only you can set me free, cos I'm guilty, guilty as a wildebeest. Come on baby can't you see, I thank you, for love in the first degree..."
Actual: "Only you can set me free, cos I'm guilty, guilty as a girl can be. Come on baby can't you see, I stand accused, for love in the first degree..."

Cartoons

Pirated: "Transformers, robotic disguise"
Actual: "Transformers, robots in disguise"

Pirated: "Captain Planet, he's our hero. Gonna take pollution down to zero. He is always by our side, fighting all our planet's fight..."
Actual: "Captain Planet, he's our hero. Gonna take pollution down to zero. He's our powers magnified, and he's fighting on the planet's side..."

Pirated: "Teenage mutant ninja turtles...Heroes in a nutshell / Heroes in a hard shell."
Actual: "Teenage mutant ninja turtles...Heroes in a half shell."
