I guess, it's come from "Hakka" - "Sit Bao Liao" (I had eaten already).<BR/><BR/>Yea, as i said KB Slang are usually influence by Cantonese and Hakka as well. If you speak a standard mandarin and don't understand what KBians sentence, try to translate to Cantonese and Hakka, you will get what they mean.Chris Chonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14244922700093893901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25603154.post-77862626559687897112009-02-17T05:01:00.001+08:002009-02-17T05:01:00.001+08:00Hi NonnieAfter Googling "slang in Brunei" I follow...Hi Nonnie<BR/>After Googling "slang in Brunei" I followed Chris Chong's link to here "Speak my language".<BR/><BR/>I was born and raised in kb.
