"have u eaten?" "jiak pa beh?"
why people would like to ask this way? if u haven't eaten, does it mean the questioner would give u a treat?
no, right? then why ask?
just like going to the church. people would ask, "how are you?" well, if i m not fine and in dire need of money, would u help me?
again, no right? then why ask??
if there is no desire to help, usually i do not even ask HOW ARE YOU? if u ask, then shirk youself the commitment to help, then we are just being HYPOCRITES.
jesus would say: "feed a hungry man instead of asking whether he is hungry.".....well, i think He said that if i m not wrong.:p
Nah thats the old style now a days when I see some of my co-workers would greet them " Oui, Hum kah chan u still alive ar? " Mostly to those jor bo lans that do 1 day work take 3 days MC, take 3 days to do 2 hrs of work and the supervisor still grade them good and grade those that do not follow him shopping on fridays average.
