Hello. I'm Surabay New House ☺️
I first learned Halo, aku lapar. when I was 20 years old during volunteer work. A senior introduced it to me and I used it all day long.
Since everyone kept giving me snacks and candy, I thought they were kind... but when I saw that I was smiling brightly at everyone, my senior told me to stop, remembering the real meaning 🤣
Later, I witnessed a senior who said that many people in Indonesia have the surname Permi and that everyone likes it when you say "Permi?" 😅
I thought the first word to learn should be Halo, apa kabar?, so I made some simple materials.
