What makes a Malaysian a Malaysian!

Received this in the mail today. Hilarious!


What Makes A Malaysian A Malaysian

1. You can name all the players from the the English Premier League, but ask you to name one football player from Malaysia , one name also cannot come out.

2. When StreamyX come, you complain StreamyX too slow. When Maxis Broadband come, you complain Maxis Broadband always disconnects. When WiMax come, you complain Wimax too expensive. In the end, you say StreamyX still the best ah.

3. When toll price increase, you complain. When petrol price increase, you complain. When you go Starbucks buy RM10 coffee, NO COMPLAINTS.

4. When you cannot find parking in a shopping mall and have to walk very far, you complain. When you go inside the shopping mall and there's SALE, run from one end of 1Utama to the other also NO COMPLAINTS.

6. You are always late. And the excuse you give when you're late is always either: (a) traffic jam (b) no transport or (c) cannot find parking.

7. You have a parent who force you to take science stream in high school, study engineering in Uni, then when you graduate, they ask you to forget everything you learnt in Uni and do commerce.

8. You know someone who can specially develop a 'mat salleh' accent when speaking to a American / British / Australian.

9. You complain against the government in kopitiam, you talk loud loud. Leave anonymous comments on blogs, you also talk loud loud. Attend ceremah by DAP, you shout loud loud. Then when Opposition organise a protest and ask you to go, you dun wan. Scared later kena tangkap by ISA.

10. Every year on the 30th April, you are one of the people below queueing up last minute to submit your tax return at the IRB.

11. When you pay RM10 for something that costs RM1, you blame the Chinese.

12. When a government service is too slow, you blame the Malays.

13. When a building is not good and collapsed, you blame the Indians.

14. When a Chinese student won a scholarship, you say 'Wah! Very clever hor?' When a Malay student won a scholarship, you say 'Aiya! Of course lah! He Malay mah!'

15. When a 'mat salleh' stranger kiss you on the cheek to say hello, you very happy. When a Malaysian guy kiss you on the cheek to say hello, you slap him.

I am guilty of 1,3,7 and 10. So which one are u? Don lie!

I am back and AirAsia Promos!

Time just seems to fly past when you are on holidays doesn't it? I had a wonderful time in Krabi visiting the Islands, riding on an elephant. I also had a torrid time climbing 1,237 stairs which were at 70-80 degree angles to see a temple! But enuf of all that.

As I started flipping the local papers for the first time in 5 days, one headline jumped at me straight away : "No more fuel surcharge on Airasia flights!" for bookings made on 12-16 November. I started jumping for joy as I wanted to book another holiday straight away(Still in holiday mood ma). So I logged on the website. But as I expected, the traffic to the site must have been immense as I just could not get in. So much for the promos!

But I still have 3 more days to try so fingers crossed!
