A question for the Chinese Malaysians: Why is it that in Malaysia you are "Chinese" but in China you are "Malaysians"? Which one do you want to be? Or is it a case that you think you take the name of whichever race you think is more superior in any particular country. For I am sure you believe Chinese are superior to Malays and Malaysians are superior to Chinese. I don't get it.

Also why is every other Malaysian woman I meet in Shanghai a lesbian? Is there something in the water down there?

Quite simple. In Malaysia(and in Singapore), there are people of various races living in it. U get Malays, Indians, Chinese, Eurasians, Dayaks, Ibans, etc. Its not a ethnically homogeneous place

Malaysia is actually a very racially polarized country. If you read some news items that feature remarks by ministers from the ruling regime, you will get the gist...Be it in the policies or remarks made by govt officials and ministers, Malaysians are conditioned to think themselves as Malays, Chinese, Indians....Everything is viewed in terms of which racial group you belong to, which is sad.

But when you step out of Malaysia and people ask you where you come from? One has to say Malaysia cos it is a fact.

As an analogy, if I'm not wrong, in countries like Belgium, the population consists of people who speak Flemish and those who speak French. Say, in Belgium, a Flemish speaker will say he is Flemish but when he's in China, he says he's from Belgium. Correct me if I'm wrong

^ good explanation.

Chinese and Malaysian is a two different categories. If you're in Malaysia, you can't say that..."I'm Malaysian!" In Malaysia, there's so many races and ethnic groups. In West Malaysia, 3 main races are Malays, Indian, and Chinese. In East Malaysia, there's are many like Suluk, Bajau, Melanau, Iban, Kadazan, Dusun, Temor..bla bla bla!

No such thing as Chinese are superior to Malays and Malaysian are superior to Chinese. Everybody live together in a country. All are Malaysian when they're out of the country. If we were to answer....
~"Yeah. we're Chinese!"
~People will ask, "Which part of China you are?"
~Are we supposed to answer "Nah, we're Malaysian Chinese!"

As a conclusion, we will obviously say we're Malaysian. Smile

2nd topic....lesbian Malaysian.
You got into the wrong circle puhlease! Smile I know many Malaysian woman/gal/female that is straight. Some of them are pretty doctors, high-level management executives, corporate ladies and they're nice. Anyway, is lesbian did anything wrong? Smile The water runs very deep....nobody know what's underneath. Smile

I bring you around and meet some straight Malaysian women. Smile

Good for you bro.... Smile

Yeah...great weekend ahead...

I found a shop selling mamak style fried noodle but instead of using maggie mee, which obviously is not sold here, they use "Chu Qian Yi Ting" - another brand of instant mee from Nissin...The owner must have been to Malaysia..haha

Again, Ah Beng Story (some might see this one before)

Ah Beng bought a new mobile.
He sent a message to everyone from his Phone Book & said 'My Mobile No. has changed.
Earlier it was Nokia 3310. Now it is 6610'
============ ========= ========= ======
Ah Beng : I am a Proud, coz my son is in Medical College .
Friend: Really, what is he studying.
Ah Beng: No he is not studying, they are Studying him.
============ ========= ========= ========= ======
Ah Beng : Doctor, In my dreams, I play football every night.
DR: Take this tablet, you will be ok.
Ah Beng : Can I take tomorrow, tonight is final game.
============ ========= ========= ========= ========
Ah Beng : If I die will u remarry?
Wife: No! I'll stay with my sister. But if I die will u remarry?
Ah Beng : No, I'll also stay with your sister
============ ========= ========= ========= ==
Ah Beng : People consider me as a 'GOD'
Wife: How do you know??
Ah Beng : When I went to the Park today, everybody said, Oh GOD! U have come again..
============ ========= ========= ========= ====
Ah Beng complained 2 Police: Sir all items are missing, Except the TV in my house.
Police: How the thief did not take TV???
Ah Beng : I was watching TV news...
============ ========= ========= ========= ==
Ah Beng comes back 2 his car & find a note saying 'Parking Fine'
He Writes a note and sticks it 2 pole 'Thanks 4 complement'
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
How do you recognize Ah Beng in School?
He is the one who erases the notes from the book when the teacher erases the board.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
Once Ah Beng was walking he had a glove on one hand and not on other.
So the man asked him why he did so. He replied that the weather forecast announced that on one hand it would be cold and on the other hand it
would be hot.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- -----
Ah Beng in a bar and his cellular phone rings. He picks it up and Says
'Hello, how did you know I was here?'
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ------
Ah Beng - why r all these people running?
Man - This is a race, the winner will get the cup
Ah Beng - If only winner will get the cup, why others running?
************ ********* ********* ********* ********* *****
Teacher: 'I killed a person' convert this sentence into future tense
Ah Beng: The future tense is 'u will go to jail'
************ ********* ********* ********* ********* ****
Ah Beng told his servant: Go and water the plants
Servant: It's already raining
Ah Beng : So what? Take an umbrella and go.
************ ********* ********* ********* ***** *********
A man asked Ah Beng
why Ahmad Badawi goes walking in the Evening and not in the morning Ah
Beng replied Ahmad Badawi is PM not AM


Have A Great Weekend~

did one lousy snowman last winter. :p

i wonder if it's gonna snow again this coming winter.
if last winter is the worst of the last 50yrs of shanghai, then this year might be worst of the worst!

'Thanks' to those people who contribute to Global Warming like my neighbor who always stupidly and occasionally having his open-burning session....burning his dried leaves and other garbage.
"What A Kampong Family Is That!!" He thinks he's staying in the village...
