And it’s qt another thread of his, and basically… It’s no contest syiok/shiok/syok comes from Malay, but where did Malay got it? Apparently by way of Persian and it still exists in Malay, as “asyik”.

Pretty cool stuff!

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
