Chinese
my second straight day out! woohoo...itz juz so fun 2 be out rather than rotting at home nursing an injured shoulder hahaha yesterday was nice 2 haf lunch wif jannah near her wokplace (imagine a small guy in a sling among the hustling of office workers in the lunch-hour crowd at raffles place hahaha) well she was sweet 2 cut my corned beef sandwich at fig&olive (nice place 2 eat =p) into smaller pieces so dat i can eat hehehe well i guess i cldnt hav any other thing besides sandwiches dat i could eat wif 1 hand and yea she diden feed me heeee i big boy =p
den 2dae, went out wif muk n zahzah 4 lunch and did sum shopping....and i bought a watch ahakz which my mum re-imbursed coz its a belated bdae gift. AND YEAH muk n zahzah CHOSE the watch *they specifically requested special mention...sheesh =p*
my salesperson was dis chinese lady who spoke good malay heh later found out dat she was a malaysian hee wad happened was when she helped 2 adjust my watch, i told her xie xie (thx in mandarin) and she was shocked dat i could speak 3 languages hahaha anyway her boss was nearby and started speakin 2 me in mandarin. he told me dat i looked like a true blue chinese and i should speak chinese as often as possible because it will really put me in gd stead...a malay who looks like a chi and knows the language is a great thing according to him heh he also said that it reali doesnt matter that my telo is malay-ish...my chi looks is enuff 2 fool pple haha wads more i can understand n speak the language =p
well it kinda set me thinking dat looking like one is realli not a bad thing...there may be instances whr i cld be in a beneficial position, who noes? syukur... =) of coz u get those remarks like:
'u malay ar?? no laaa dun bluff'
'are u at the wrong camp?' hehehehe
but lets put it dis way...i've grown out of my sensitivities and i realli feel dat how i look is a great ice breaker hehe every1 will ask....u malay or chi? den i'll say both oso can =p
.sincera fazzy.
