I'm a new soul, I came to this strange website
Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

lo̤ = perfective particle?
kam sia (感謝): thank you
mei you/yiu (hanzi might be 𣍐曉): don't know (Standard Chinese: 不會)
"zhun jv" (sounds like Standard Chinese "準具", "zhun" might be 沖,"jv" is 水): to take a shower/bath (might be chiefly 'to shower')

Sitiawan Gutian Malaysianisms (confirmation required)

芭 - land (real estate)
- 做芭 - farmer?
𣍐 la han - to be unable to bear? if so, la han = either ta han or da han, related to 打限?
- UPDATE: ta han/da han exists
"marakian" - police officer. used in two comments on this facebook post. mara = ma-da = 馬打, kian = 囝?
番囝 - (by extension) a Muslim
nah - used when giving something (borrowed from Malay?)
lau sai - to have diarrhea (borrowed from Hokkien)?
"kring ngiang"/"ki ring ngiang" - Indian person. Borrowed from Malay Keling? If so, it is likely borrowed via 吉靈, but I don't think 吉靈 is the correct hanzi. Might be derogatory.
lo ti - bread. from Malay roti.
"amoy yan" (in a comment)/"阿Moi洋" (video thumbnail): 阿妹 + 囝?

Very nice places (maybe)

Note to self:
Acronym = Pronounced like ordinary words (NATO; UNICEF; ASEAN etc.)
Initialism = Pronounced letter by letter (US; UK; UN etc.)
Colloquial is stronger than informal (a general rule of thumb is that informal words may be used in the running text of a newspaper article, while a colloquial term would likely not appear without quotation marks).
