Last night me and my bro Rui Qi took the cab home coz he was feeling so sick. So we flagged a cab and told the taxi driver the infamous street of the entire Western part of Singapore.
JURONG WEST ST 42! MUAHAHAHA!!!
Anyway, back to the story. We had a short conversation with the cab driver. It was damn quiet in this vehicle we're in, so I think boredom kicks in and he started telling us that his son's schooling in NYP. And the other thing that we did'nt ask him, but he did anyway was the fact that his son's a year one student and studying in a new course in our school. Can't remember what it is, but I think its a new health science course or something. Which is, not totally related to our part of the school we're currently studying. But anyway, the conversation came to a halt and I guess the cab driver realised that he has leaked some part of his family life to strangers who apparently goes to the same school as his son's and started playing the radio. Maybe just for the entertainment, could be for him or for us I don't know! But he's nice lah until...
Our Journey to the Western part of Singapore blah blah blah...Oh ya Luie called coz she misses us! Aww, so sweet of my sis. =)
We finally came to our destination. So we alighted at Rui Qi's place. I told my bro I'll be fine walking, coz its just a few walking distance. =S Nothing unusual happened, UNTIL the cab driver on the lights(in the car lah, duh). And he, finally saw me and said...
"You...MALAY?"
Ok, the fact that you did'nt notice I was malay all along(Could be becoz it was night and he failed to see any skin colour variations) but he sounded as if, he was stupified that he was talking to a malay all along. Or due to the fact that I was talking to him with fluent English tongue I dunnoe! But I felt insecure, somewhat offended by the way he said that I was Malay. Its ok lah, I mean I'm used to being labelled as, OMBM(Orang Melayu, bukan Melayu). Which means a Malay, but does'nt look or sound like one. =S
Anyway, I did reply with a friendly gesture. "Yes, I am..."
Whatever it is...
"Do I really sound a lil English educated to you when I converse?"
Wassallam.
was rockin' on
