pai seh = 不好意思 = pardon me (as in when asking a question ... or even showing some arrogance at times, not sorry!)
err ... abit hard to explain they sound like interchangeable but in dialect they mean different things ... aiyah, me also blur liao hahahahaha

anyway, the guy was riding a motorbike, den i dunno when did i ever cross his path, anyway, he was behind me, all the way, saw him trying to overtake my left or right, but kena stuck between the cars, finally at the traffic light, he came to my right, den dunno what he said, i show him a dunno sign, den he ask me to wind down window, so i wind down, den he said in hokkien, your car no stop sign? (ler eh chia bo stop sign eh ar)... den i was thinking wtf he saying... den was composing a way to reply in hokkien, and since i dunno wtf is wrong, and it doesn't hurt to say sorry to anything, so i told him, Pai Seh, Sorry ar... den the person still frown & gimme the tulan look, den dun move off, traffic turn green, so i moved, and he was like a slow tortise at the back... oh well... sometimes dunno y ppl think like i can understand hokkien...

brake lights will turn on only when you step on the brake, that's why call brake lights.
take a brick & put on the brake pedal, den run to the back & see lor...
maybe can someone tell me how you check your reverse lights is working? without any help.
