While walking towards the concourse area at Mahkota Parade, a credit card salesman approached me. (Not again. -roll eyes-)

“Encik, kredit kad apa yang kamu guna?”
“Sir, what credit card do you use?”

I stopped and looked at him.

“……”
“……”

“我很像马来人么？”
“Do I look like a Malay?”

And I walked away.

There was a LG KU990 Viewty roadshow going on at the main entrance of Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall and I was walking towards the mall.

The LG hot chick promoter approached me.

“Ini handphone model terbaru dari LG. Nak tengok?”
“This is the latest mobile phone from LG. Do you want to have a look?”

I stared at her for a second or two.

“我很像马来人么？”
“Do I look like a Malay?”

“哈哈！不好意思。有一点咯，你晒到很黑嘛！”
“Haha! I’m sorry. Actually, you do look like one as you are very dark.”

“……”
“……”

And these weren’t the first time. I have many people / newly-met-work-related people asking me, “So, are you a Chinese or mixed?”.

Do I really look like a Malay?

P/S : By the way, the LG KU990 Viewty touch screen phone is really cool and I am seriously considering about it. My birthday is around the corner, anyone willing to spare some money?
