Northern Mushroom

Off late, there has been an influx of immigrants from China... While it is bad to stereotype that all China-men are con artists and all China-women are escorts etc, that is exactly the sentiments of fellow Malaysians. But what surprised me most is the inability of these so-called local Malaysians to distinguish Malaysian Chinese and China Chinese.

Take the following encounters:

• Nearly 9 out of 10 times when we are stopped by police, the police would speak to my bf in BM while flashing his torchlight at me saying: "Moi, ada teng ki?" I supposed they think China-Chinese wouldn't understand what a "teng ki" is... And how do I respond to that? I'd say: "YA, SAYA SEMEMANGNYA ADA IC DAN INI DIA...". The stupid policeman would then smile sheepishly like an idiot!
• Then there was once a woman spoke to my bf in English but when she spoke to me, she switched to Mandarin. I was rather furious so I told her bluntly: "You can speak in English you know... I don't understand Mandarin" and left her starring at me blankly.
• Yesterday, Alan and I went to Petaling Street cos I was craving for the claypot rats tail noodle (nga pou lou shu fun) but becos we were rather early, we stopped at one of the restaurants for a drink and it happened again!!! The waiter spoke to my bf in Cantonese and spoke to me in Mandarin...

WAHHHHHH... Do I really look like a "Northern Mushroom" (pak ku)???

But when I went Beijing last year, all the locals there said I have big eyes and that is a characteristic that not many has in China... So there... to all you fellow morons out there... China-Chinese DO NOT have TUA LIAP eyes like mine... k... MORONS!!!

So anyway, here's the world-famous claypot rats tail noodle (nga pou lou shu fun) at Petaling Street. Yum yummm...
