"BLOG ASSIGNMENT DUE DATE THIS SUNDAY"
"HAR??? OMG!!! BLOGGING??? WRITING?! I DOESN'T LIKE WRITING AT ALL"
Thoughts of mine in mind. OK, no choice. assignment mark involved. need to done it.
Cut all those extra intro words.
Q:Do you identify as a Malaysian? Why? Does it matter?
Well, answer for me is Yes. I identify myself as a Malaysian and it does matter to me.
WHY??
From knowing the national anthem of our country "negaraku"& "rukun negara". it does already proved me a Malaysian.Other than knowing national anthem, i wanna tell my life. I am a Chinese, born and stayed in Malaysia. I couldn't be a Chinese from China; although I look like one.(all malaysian' chinese look totally same from china) The similarities of Chinese from China and Malaysian's chinese are almost the same. the culture are same.my family speak mandarin; eat with chopstick&bowl; sit together having meals around a round table (not just reunion dinner of CNY eve);celebrate CNY; wear the same traditonal clothes during CNY; celebrate mooncake festival;celebrate chinese winter solstice and many others. I can identify myself as a China citizen from all the point i give....
BUT
I know how to speak malay language(not very fluently), does china citizens know?I know malaysian language as in all those "la, meh, leh,gua,lol,mah & etc"and also
"cincai,bojio, mamak,kopitiam,saman,kongsi,abudeh,on the way(never step out of the house yet)"
I know malaysian sign language as in:
"raise hand during driving= thank you for letting me cut in"
"raise hand while crossing road= stop"
"raise hand at mamak= call the boss to order"
" raise hand while doing randomly air signature= bill"
and others
I know typical malaysian altitude as in
complain on anything, always say got promotion, offer, discount, coupon and also ask for free gift and etc.
OFF COURSE
I know malaysian hate malaysia because of the ruler, the politics, GST la, traffic jam la, criminal cases, too many bangladesh la and etc....but we call ourselves as when Malaysia happen disaster, we stick together and get through it together. cases like MH370,MH 17 heavy floods and Sabah earthquake, terrorist in sabah all these cases, malaysian stick together and help each other by giving out an helping hand instead of standing aside and watch others people do thing.
IN CONCLUSION
When a malaysian still stick together and hope for a better future by changing something or went overseas to learn new knowledge and apply in our country, we still are identify as malaysian and never change the fact that we are malaysian.
