Delightful! Definite East Asian feel to it.....aside from vocabulary, it's
almost "Bazaar Malay" in structure (which in turn is probably Malay vocab.
over Chinese structure, so of course there's a resemblance!).
Personal opinion/minor suggestion:  I'd like to see at least some final
stops retained-- perhaps all neutralized to glottal stop, which could be
written /k/??  So, to me, "mei" would have been more immediately
recognizable if it had been "meik" /mei?/
