Today, I have
3 classes..
This morning I woke up and planning to attend all of my classes.
Then I took a cab to Jalan Dungun.
After I finished my first class and while I'm preparing for my next class, my friend told me..
"Our class is canceled la... He (my lecturer) is on MC"
Then she invited me to go to education fair in Pusat Bandar Damansara
I refused. Tired and hungry..
So I walked to Wisma Help and decided to have my lunch alone
Suddenly I feel like want to eat a small portion of nasi lemak and tea o ice. I'm thirsty.
I can't even finish the small portion of nasi lemak. Sigh.
Then.. Again I took taxi to go back home,
skipped my 3rd class.
I'm so lazy to wait for a bus.
At home, after laying down a while then here I am writing this entry.. lol..
Lisia.. Are u a malay, a chinese or an indian?I have been staying in Malaysia for 2 years plus, and this question is the most frequent questions that people asked me.
Does race become a big issue in Malaysia?I don't know. I guess not.
What is their attention by asking you that question?Again.. I don't know.. I think they are just curious. I might make them confused. ;p
Many people have met me, and for those new people that I met will get confuse of my race is. They must wondering whether I am a malay or chinese.
and I never heard people ask me,
"Hey, are you an indian?"Because I'm defintely not an indian and don't have any Indian looks.
lol.
I guess, there are some reasons why people think that I'm a malay:
My appearance and eyes:The first thing that we would do when meet a stranger is look at them right?
and when they look at me they will start to think whether I'm a Malaysian or a foreigner.
They must think I am a Malay because of my skin tone or else because of my eyes.
My skin is darker if compared with chinese's and slightly fairer rather than malay's.
My eyes is bigger than chinese's and slightly smaller or almost same like malay's.
My eyes are unique. I have a medium size of eyelids.
Not everyday I had those eyelids. Sometimes I can have eyelids at both side of my eyes where you can see I have more malay looks, and sometimes there is no eyelids at the both side too where you can see that I have chinese looks haha..
My slang:It just not enough by looking at me.
Some people said I'm look like local chinese.
But once I open my mouth and start talking.
They start to confuse again!
They surely think that I'm a malay.. hehe..
As you know I am an Indonesian.
I'm sure every Indonesian have a special slang when they are speak in english.
and yes, there are some people think that I'm a malay when they start listen the way I'm talking in English language or even in Indonesia language.
Conversation:Friend: "Where do you come from?"
Lisia : "Indonesia.."
Friend: So.. Are you fasting today? Erm.. Sorry ar... (She feels so bad because she is driking in front of me)
Lisia: It's ok la.. I'm not fasting..
Friend: "Oh.. really ar? How come you are not fasting wan? Got period is it?"
Lisia: "No... I'm not a muslim.."
Friend: "So?" (lil bit shock)
Lisia: "I'm a christian.."
Friend: "Really ar? I tought you are a muslim. Indonesians are not muslim meh?"
Lisia: "Haha.. Indonesia is same like Malaysia. We have many races and religions too.. The different is we all Indonesians are communicate with Bahasa Indonesia. Everything in Indonesian language.."
Friend: "Owh,.. Really ar?? so are you a malay or chinese?"
Lisia: "Guess..."
Friend: "Hmm... I think you are mix la.."
Lisia: "I'm chinese. Haha.."
Friend: "Pure or not?"
Lisia: "I think pure la.. Lolz.. coz I have a chinese name too. But the chinese name not really that important in Indonesia.."
