So anyway, I was driving today
aiseh-ing myself for being an idiot
when I thought, "I say!'
Don't you think our Malaysian
'Aiseh!' came from the english 'I say!'?
Like in the colonial times,
an english gentleman walks into a room and
finds his male colleagues jackhammering
each other and can do nothing but go
"I say..."
Then us malaysians colloquial-ised it and made
it 'Aiseh, apa ni..."

When I first came back from overseas at age 12 I wondered about this too...and that is the exact same conclusion that I came to. Isn't that it though?
