Last week I went to OGA Exhibition in KLCC for 3 consecutive days. Day 1 with a female colleague, 2nd day with my male colleague and the last day with my boss. Had enough of KLCC scene...so see ya KLCC I may be back in few months or maybe next year.....
The funny part was when I went to one of the exhibitor's booth that distributes INFO PAGES directory. We're required to present our business card. First my boss gave his business card and he gets the directory immediately, and he left the counter. Then my turn, during that time there are some other people waiting for their turns. Suddenly the guy (i believe the supervisor) came to me and speak a language that I did not understand. First ala-ala blur gitu and later it registered to my brain that the guy actually speak chinese with me.....the best part he was refering to my business card and my malay and muslim name are printed there and yet he spoke chinese.....that was not the first incident...there were quite a number of incidents where chinese people came to me or replied my question (which is in English) in Chinese.....
Later that day when I went to the restroom...I checked myself up in the mirror....do I look like Chinese????
Hmmm been telling everyone I'm pure Malay....
Chinese is one thing....there are others who asked me whether am mixed.....and again I'm kinda speechless...
One day my fren taught me one good reply for that...When people asked "ARE YOU MIXED?" she said I should answer immediately "YES, of course...I MIXED around" hehehehhe......
Everyday I saw myself in a mirror and saw a Pure Malay look.....and yet people speak Chinese to me...and some asked am i MIXED......pening pening....
