A While and on the Way

I want to blog about this two phrase. That's right. A while and on the way. This two phrase is really common being used by Malaysian (I am not sure about other countries though).

A While
"Wait for a while ar," , "Just for a while only,", "A while only lar,". Phrases like this is very common. But how do you define a while? One minute? 10 seconds? 3 hours? How to define a while. My a while can be 1 hour, his a while can be 5 seconds. It is really confusing when it comes to people using a while. I cannot think of a word to substitute a while. A while....

On the Way
This word is another common word and is always the killer one. Why do I say so? Well, if you are waiting for a friend and you call him, he/she will say on the way. But what does that mean? On the way can just mean that the person just woke up from sleep. On the way can mean that the person is still 30 minutes a way from destination. On the way, really keeps people waiting those who use it....

It is really funny sometimes when you think about it. Try to think what you friends say at times and it will be quite funny. A While and on the Way.....
