Strange Encounter

Ed's Note : For CSI record

A reoccurence of something strange.

As I was waiting behind my belanja-wan to settle the bill, a malayu waiter turned, pointed at me and asked "MALAYU ka?"

Stunned.

Could only afford a "Huh?" reply.

And he dutifully repeated, "MALAYU ka?"

My reply, "Bukan. Saya Cina." Giggled and left.

This is not the first time someone mistook me for a Malayu.

The first time was when at Orientation, this Chinese girl started introducing herself to me in Malay. I felt strange and asked her why after the icebroke. Haha. She thought I was Malay.

Second time (not directly related to this topic). A salesgirl thought I was dating a Malayu.

Am now conducting a series of interview and a detailed genealogy investigation (mum said we have Siamese blood wor) on this matter.

Now tell me, do I look Malayu to you? Don't wanna be caught eating during Puasa time.
