Malay ~ Days of the Week in Malay

Now u know the importance of the Horse Racing Calendar.

Question: What you can learn from a Horse Racing Calendar in Singaopre?
Answer: The days of the week in Malay.
(And in the other main languages of Singapore as well)

===.
For me, it's easier to learn Monday First:

Isnin = Monday
Selasa = Tuesday
Rabu = Wednesday
Khamis = Thursday
Jumaat = Friday
Sabtu = Saturday
Ahad = Sunday

===.
How will you remember it? OR... How do you remember it?

This is how I'm going to remember it.
"In Singapore, Rabu is Wednesday.
and... kami jumpa sesuatu arnab."

Malay: kami jumpa sesuatu arnab
English: we found a rabbit

Mon = in = Isnin
Tue = Singapore = Selasa
Wed = Rabu = Rabu
Thu = kami = Khamis
Fri = jumpa = Jumaat
Sat = sesuatu = Sabtu
Sun = arnab = Ahad

===.
Original Pixs:

You'll notice that, 
on this Calendar, it shows Sunday First... 
BUT... I am going to stick to Monday First...
I'll just take note that Sun is first on most Calendars.

Ahad = Sunday
Isnin = Monday
Selasa = Tuesday
Rabu = Wednesday
Khamis = Thursday
Jumaat = Friday
Sabtu = Saturday
