So the other day I went for class and my teacher says I look Arab.Pretty weird considering I'm not of Arab heritage.Being of a mixed heritage,people usually guess correct when they say I look Indian or Pakistani.My dad's Pakistani and my mum's Indian cause her dad's an Indian too.But her mum has a Thai-Chinese mother and a Punjabi father.Which makes me a product of all 5 cultures.I'm multiracial,literally.Usually you can guess a person's heritage by looking at them.But those of a mixed heritage,like my cousin Shereen as well,are harder to tell.Especially so since she's got brown eyes.So sometimes she tells people she's part German or she's from Switzerland and shit.It's really funny.What's funnier is when people find out I can speak Malay.So I'm not a pro in the subject but I can converse and write in the language fine and that's good considering I'm not Malay.So give me some credit.It's not my fault mengelak(prevent) and menggalak(encourage) happen to sound similar and I always get them confused.It's real amusing when malay people talk about me openly because they think I don't understand.It's like having a secret identity.And on a good note,EXAMS ARE OVER!I smell liberation in the air.Bring on the parties!Let's get rocked out and boozed,as I'm sure Hanis would say.I think we're one of the earliest schools to finish our exams.Raffles finish on Thursday and Temasek finish this Friday.If it werent for the rest of the year,I swear I would have already burned my books.
Sal, Ain and I are going to watch Phantom on the 19th,day before it stops showing.We're still finding more people to go watch with us.
