Chinese Mandarin Versus Malaysian Mandarin

I wanted to write this long time ago but I always forgot. Have to admit that Malaysian Mandarin is indeed not authentic after the blend of Hokkien, Malay and some other dialects. These are some words that I learnt after I came here:

1. 本科 vs degree

2. 挖耳扒 vs 挖耳朵的，洗面奶 vs 洗脸的

3. 麻痹 vs MCB

4. 饭堂 vs / kantin/canteen/吃饭的地方 (with slang)

5. (noun)B, for example 苦B，傻B vs (noun)死了/鸟/到，for example 苦死鸟，傻到~~~~~ (with slang)

Although we share the same ancestor but we are totally different in terms of everything, and I am still learning to accept and adopt, which need a lot of time and patient to achieve it. Is indeed proud to become a Chinese, however excessive patriotism is quite annoying sometimes.

Learn to accommodate, something I need to learn this year.

Also, I have the feeling that I am slowly losing my patience, first time in my life, ever.
