(In the room, i didn't wear tudung since i've facial to do that time. So, that's why she ambushed me with chinese language straight away.)


I didn't intend to brag or whatever you call it here. Even if i did, there's nothing to be proud of since it's not true. See, here's the thing, i don't really get it why people keep on saying that i'm a chinese or i've chinese blood in or yada yada yada. To be honest, I got it quite a lot from people saying that kind of stuff to me. Not only that, my family members too especially from the Malacca and Singapore sides. They always go like this, "Fateen ni ikut siapa la eh ? Muka macam cina. Nak kata mummy dia, tak pon. Nak kata papa dia pon, takde jugak." Okay, i got it from my grandma from Malacca, perhaps ? She do looks like chinese Singaporean.

How i wish, i'm mixed blood like those people said but i'm grateful enough with what i am now. Clearly, i'm a PURE MALAY without any mix here and there. Atleast, i'm not a rojak. No offense, though. Hihihi. You know what, i think i know why people keep on saying that i look like chinese la mixed blood la and whatever la, it is because my eyes. My mata so sepet one. AMAGAWD ! You guys are being mean to me. Tak baik la like that. Ohh, now i know. So sad la like that. Okay people, i'm not Melayu Celup like some people said.
