SMS is known as text messages inUK. If you use SMS in UK.. most people probably won't know what you are talking about! Anyway, I find that there is certainly a strong SMS culture in Malaysia. Regardless of whether you are young (as young as 8 perhaps)... teenagers (especially!!!).. in your 20s... 30s... even 60s!!
Does your parents sms?
Mine do.. both my side and my hubby's.
My mom is the funny one.. she only receives but does not return. Ha.. she will only give you a miss call to acknowledge your text. Works perfectly in my household. ^_^
My mother in law is an expert in texting..
So i was saying.. all ages do SMS. Actually sometimes i would thought only female population does more texting.. but i am totally mistaken! Guys do to!!! Just not those i know in UK.
**opps.. i see that i have revert back to using text instead of SMS.. well you know what i am talking about anyway...
Yesterday I received a bunch of squares from my aunt. It looks like this..
"c c c c c c , c c c c , c c c c c ,
c c c c c c c c c c c c c ,
c c c c c c ,
c c c c c c c c c c ,
c c c c c c c c ,
c c c c c c ,
c c c c c , c c c c c"
So.. i replied to her...
Me: "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.. Why did you send me a bunch of squares?"
Puzzled? Well.. the reason is my handphone (known as mobile in UK, cellphone is USA) is UK made.. so i have yet to set it to view Chinese characters!...
Oh.. and i am also getting use to the text language.. the list so far:
gud = good
w = with
brb = be right back
ppl = people
wat = what
wen = when
2 = to/too/the number 2 (can be used as 2morrow=tomorrow=tmr)
4 = for/4 (can be used as b4=before)
aft = after
tmr = tomorrow
n = and
hse = house (but can also be interpreted as horse)
de = already
Well.. you get the idea.. the list goes on and on... but i am lazy to list all of them out.. i am sure i can google the list.. but well.. where is the fun in that? HA HA HA
My aunt send me an sms with this short abbreviateion "chk" haven't figured out what this is yet...

Wa hahaha... you've pointed out the obvious, I thought it's a worldwide culture. You friends in UK really have to read this stuff. Hee...
Chk ah? Lemme (haha = let me) guess. can be "check", "chicken", "Caroline's House Kitchen"
Like someone the other day "eight" can be "digit" or "fight" - the dictionary gang will know why... muahhahaha...
Erm.. i have no idea.. i think based on the sentence, it meant "cikgu" but where does the "h" comes about? The original text says: "do you want A 2 ask chk at his uni?"
