This short passage is held usually in same way in the customs counter every time I go to Singapore and come back to Malaysia.
I recommend to you people ‘Do not queue behind me in customs counter, if you don’t want to wait for 10 times longer than the others.'
Running to counter once you get out from the bus.
Delivering the Passport to the guy in the counter
Smile, first look on you
Second look on passport
Third look, forth look, fifth look, sixth, seven… on you, on passport, on you, on passport….
Yes, now questioning… (If the guy looks very smiling, means that he will question more, yeah we are starting, keep your smile.)
-Merf Del?
-Yes, I am MERVE DAL. (No merf! Please!)
-You are student?
-Yes, I am
-What course you take? (With a Malay accent)
-Biotechnology
(Sometimes it can go longer, why you choose Malaysia, how long you stay here, you like Malaysia? And mostly boleh cakap Malayu?
Try to keep my smile, (Ok hold on Merve, hold on Merve, just a little more)
-Ya, sedikit sedikit (If you say this you be fired! My suggestion is say ‘no’ not to hold over conversation, or the best pretend not to understand at all, just keep the smiling)
-Ooh pandai boleh cakap! (Laughing, sharing this with another)
Waiting, waiting, passengers are coming and going from the queue that I hold. I want to say really, oh aunty don’t queue here, my process can take longer.
Oh yes, I was the first one who run here and took the shortest queue, and now there’s no one behind me. Even new comers are already in their buses.
Ok, it seems questioning is over and the stamp sounds.. Ok, Thank you. Run Run Run

:)) Yes Sharon, it really is. However I got used to it.
You know what, I started to talk to them too and ask questions how they do to me! If you sometimes cannot change the things at all then you better play with it and enjoy. I learned this well. haha!
