Ignorance&Bliss

1. Malays make fun of each other by calling them things that are related to other races. Examples "Kau ni keling ah", "hahahaha macam Apek jual sayur", "eleh taste kau orang bangla je". Weird how whenever we have interracial quarrels, none of this is brought up. Guess other races are smart enough not to quarrel over stupid things (*cough* like Malays do)

2. "Dulu nasi lemak kat kantin 20 sen je" - every single Malaysian Parent

3. Being raised with a beauty standard; The Malaysian (or at least Malay) society's definition of "beautiful" is a) white, clear skin b) hourglass body but small thighs small legs c) Brown, big eyes. d) hidung mancung. e) suara halus. f) oval shaped face. g) i don't know what is "rambut ikal mayang" but I sure hear it a lot.

4. Asal Chinese je Asal Indians je jadi top student buat alasan "alah diorang memang pandai".

5. Our very first ambitions were our parents' occupation. If not it's surely either "Doctor" or "Teacher" the advanced ones wanted to be "Lecturers" and "Engineers".

6. Hearing nostalgic flashbacks from parents about 'the hard days' whenever you crossed the line.

7. Envying school uniforms of Private school kids and Korean/Japanese dramas

8. There's always this one friend who studies less or as equal as you do but scores way higher than you. Example: You: C Them: A+

9. Hearing people talking about how the Chinese and Indians have conquered our Economy but see little to nil Malays doing anything much to keep up.

10. Whenever you see a person talking in a language you can't comprehend, you automatically assume that they're talking shit about you. But you can't do much about it either because they understand Malay.

11. Seeing all these dramas and movies depicting KL as "Bandar segala maksiat hiburan duniawi masyaallah"

12. Malaysian kids can be entertained with erasers and ice-cream sticks. In fact, those things can spark fights and end friendships.

13. Hearing all these Malay kids boasting about being mixed blooded. "Oh I sebenarnya bukan Malay I ada darah Arab-Cina-Thailand-Cambodia-Bangla-Nigeria-Ireland" said Siti binti Abu.

14. You're always getting compared to almost everyone you know. "Awak tengok anak maklong awak anak makngah awak anak jiran awak anak kawan ibu anak perdana menteri awak rajin je ibu tengok"

15. Not being a virgin is, for some reason, a hella serious thing. *gasps*

16. Anything related to periods are a huge taboo. That's why All-girls schools exist, where you can shout to the whole class "SIAPA ADA PAD???" without shame.

17. "Malas belajar? duduk rumah tunggu orang meminang bagi kahwin sat gi ha padan muka" - the threat you get whenever you obtain bad grades or you're caught lazing around.

18. Calling someone "Syiah" is such a huge insult here. But you see people using it everyday. Pakai baju semua hitam? Syiah. Ajaran sesat? Syiah. Syrian war? Syiah. You wouldn't like Syiah saying the same thing about Sunnis, don't you? Habistu?

19. There's this group of teenagers called "budak-budak wechat". How are they like, you ask? Not to generalise things up, but try getting to know "budak-budak rempit" and "Geng pailang" first. I should say no more.

23. Cakap English sikit je "Bajet Omputih", cakap terlebih Melayu je "kampung" HEY I UTILISE MY LANGUAGE HOWEVER I LIKE LAH BECAUSE I'M NOT CLOSE-MINDED LIKE YOUUU. But anyway I can mix 3 or 4 languages in a sentence.

27. Malays are so judgemental, I as a Malay, am judging Malays because they're so judgemental. Yes.

28. All-girl school students = Lesbian. All-boys school students = Gay. Shut up

29. Whenever you go to district level competitions, the students of the best school of your district are automatically labelled "stingy"

30. In primary school I used to hate all-girls school students because they are "stingy" and "suka menggatal". Now I am an all-girls school student myself.

31. *Gets excited whenever we eat anything other than Nasi, like McDonalds, or sushi or western food*

34. Fangirling over International Artists from America or the UK or Korea and getting disappointed because they're holding a concert in Singapore but not in Malaysia.

36. When you're broke and hungry, remember, Kedai Mamak will never upset you.

37. Sadly, we grow up thinking we have a developing economy, stable political status and harmonious society, when there's so much flaws in each and every one of it.

38. (refer to number 13) here's to all the mixed-blooded kids who still think you're Malay anyway because YOLO and you're just confused as hell.

40. Berkat is a very serious issue. But it is now soooo overused that it's getting annoying. i.e, Teachers saying that they don't want to berkat their ilmu or if you do something wrong in school ilmu tak berkat.
