8 GIFs That Are So Malaysian We Absolutely NEED Them In Our Lives

Sometimes, trying to express ourselves over messaging platforms can be the hardest thing to do.

However, this is why GIFs, emojis and memes were created! Yaaaaasss! They are practically the best way to get our messages (or emotions) across. I mean, what better way to show that you find something laugh-die-me funny than with the laugh-until-got-tears emoji right? ???

Unfortunately, with the millions of GIFs and emojis available, there are none that are at all Malaysian inspired. No teh tarik, or nasi lemak related GIFs. ?

That’s why Malaysians everywhere need to check out these brand new, first of its kind Malaysian-ised GIFs. There’s one for every Malaysian moment that we KNOW you’ll absolutely use!

1. For that friend in the group who’s the most kedekut fella you know

Asking that friend out for dinner again? Odds are he/she is going to suggest the cheapest place around: the mamak. Again.

2. For when you need to get someone in the chat to “chup” and just stop talking for a sec

Whether you need them to wait, just stop talking or hold that thought for a moment, use this GIF and get straight to the point.

3. When you forgot about a deadline and you need your friends to tolong you

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and a GIF! Spam this in your group chats so your friends know just how stressed out you are.

4. For that friend who FFKs you like nobody’s business

We all have that one friend who FFKs at the very last minute, ALL THE TIME. Next time they FFK you again, just send them this. This is definitely my favourite gif now.

5. For when you want to jio friends to go mamak or tell bae you’re craving mamak food

Instead of typing a long message, just send them these GIFs of your favourite Malaysian food! Yes, GIFs of Malaysian food. It’s every Malaysians’ dream come true! No more having to type out words just to have Autocorrect change them to something you don’t understand.

6. For moments when your friends finally come up with a good idea or say something smart

Especially when trying to agree on a place to eat and someone finally gives an A+ suggestion, like going for banana leaf rice. I APPROVE!

7. Speaking of never reaching on time, how about this GIF for those of us who are forever “OTW”

“Reaching in five minutes” or “OTW” in a Malaysian’s dictionary usually means “I’m still showering and will only leave my house in half an hour”. Usually, we are the Malaysians guilty of using that line. That’s why this GIF could not have come at a better time.

8. For that friend who’s an insanely blur sotong and always behind on news

I’m sure you already have someone in mind to send this to!
