My one, My two, My three


What is wrong with this sentence? “This computer is my one.”

The right sentence should be: This computer is mine.
“My one”  seems to be a translation from local languages. They have two words to show possession and maybe that is why they feel uncomfortable to say one word (mine) and they use two words g.
Bahasa Malaysia – saya punya (my possession)
Chinese – gua ei/ngor ke   – my one

He Had Such Quiet Eyes by Bibsy Soenharjo

He had such quiet eyes
She did not realise
They were two pools of lies
Layered with thinnest ice
To her, those wuiet eyes
Were breathing desolate sighs
Imploring her to be nice
And to render him paradise
If only she’d been wise
And had listened to the advice
Never to compromise
With pleasure-seeking guys
She’d be free from ‘the hows and whys’
Now here’s a bit of advice
Be sure that nice really nice
Then you’ll never be losing at dice
Though you lose your heart once or twice
