I was awake at 3am and I was bored. So I decided to do a little random surfing. So I googled malaysian bloggers in UK. Interesting enuf I found a few blogs wif links to a hell lot of Malaysian bloggers. The funny thing is dat most of the bloggers are in London. Well thats not the funny thing but the thing is dat I haf not actually meet any Malaysian here except for my classmate and a couple more....dats lik less than 5...I mean, i use to think dat there are quite a lot of malaysians in the uk especially in London..Its prolly me bcoz I dunno where d hell can u find malaysian not dat im desperate o anything but its gud to meet a few malaysian once in a while..
... Apart from dat, ppl usually mistaken me for bein a korean or hongkee....wads up wif dat...When I met new ppl or frens' fren, we usually "small-talk". u noe lik "where u from or r u studying here?" its kinda lame as well as polite but at least its a gud ice-breaker..So whenever there is an ackward silence, ppl usually asked where u're from o how long haf u been in UK. So i usually answer oh I'm a malaysian chinese. N ppl will be lik "Oh reli. When I saw u i tot u were a korean o hongkie."I will go lik "No. I'm a Malaysian Chinese." ...I reli dunno why? Am i giving off some kind of weird korean o hongkee thingy? most of my korean colleagues actually thought i was a korean when they first saw me. and my sister too had d same problem (well its prolly her eyes..LMAO..) even my classmate tot i was a korean for 3 weeks. he was lik wondering why dun i speak korean to my korean classmate but english..then one day, he decided to ask me
LF: y din u speak korean to HJ (my korean fren)
me: ermm...bcoz i dont noe how? ( i was confused)
LF: but y?
me: bcoz i din learn it.
LF: but y? (looked extremely confused)
me: bcoz im not interested. (getting a lil annoyed but still confused)
LF: not interested. How can u b not interested?
me: ermm...bcoz im not
LF: so wad language do u speak to ur parents?
me: hainanese n mandarin
LF: WAD? (looking so confused) but u're a korean
me: WAD? No, I'm not. I'm a Malaysian Chinese (hua chiao) U noe me for lik3 weeks but u tink im a korean
LF: yeah...
my korean fren n portugese fren were laughing their asses off....he told me is the way i dress, colour of my skin and the look of my face (i cudnt blame him for thinking dat i look lik Won Bin..lol...)....he tot dat malaysian haf got darker skin as he knew a few wif tanned skin. I used to haf dark skin but in UK, i gone fairer than before but still not as fair as lik ermm...fair skin ppl...
wow i'm digressing lik shit so anyways, they've been blogging bout as always food and travel and stuff. Its gud to read about blogs bout London as u can relate and stuff...anyways, yeah its cool reading bout London.
