Ways to know that you are a tightass but a true Asian in Australia

1. You wait until 8pm to phone a friend on optus freetime. (i no have optus freetime. so i miss called the person nyak nyak nyak)

2. You unwrap gifts very carefully, so you can save and reuse the wrapping. (not for reuse, a bit sayang to throw)

3. When there is a sale on toilet paper, you buy 100 rolls and store them in your closet or in the bedroom of an adult child who has moved out. (so not true ok. not in my case)

4. You save grocery bags, tin foil, and tin containers. You use the grocery bags to hold garbage. (and what's wrong with that???)

5. You hate to waste food. Even if you're totally full, if someone says they're going to throw away the leftovers on the table, you'll finish them.(Your mum will give a lecture about starving kids in Africa) (my mum doesn't give me that lecture...hui yin does!!!)

6. You have Tupperware in your fridge with three bites of rice or one leftover chicken wing. (nope, not since the last time i looked into it)

7. You don't own any real Tupperware - only a cupboard full of used but carefully rinsed margarine tubs, take out containers, and jam jars. (anyone got a problem with that? well mine's not carefully rinsed. just rinsed)

8. You have a collection of minature shampoo bottles that you take everytime you stay in a hotel. (ermm...my mom and bro has this fetish...not me)

9. You boil your water and allow it to cool to have a sterile drink. (well...it's just that i'm used to doing this back home)

10. You never get sick of rice (not entirely true)

11. You fight (literally) over who pays the dinner bill. (hehehe. no comments)

12. If you're under age 20, you own a Honda Civic, if you're over 20, you own a BMW. (and/or a Volvo!!!) (someone.anyone...get me a car!!!)

13. You're parents don't know how to speak softly, always yelling and washing your face with spit. (ermm no...i don't think they do that)

14. You always complain about the food, how dirty utensils and plates look at Chinese restaurants and
afterwards complain u need to do a number 2. (mmm)

16. You spend your nights and weekends on the icq chatting. (more like msn chatting...what's wrong with keeping in touch?)

17. You most likely are doing commerce or information systems at Monash or Melbourne Unis. (wow...how did u know?)

18. You starve yourself before going to all you can eat buffet. (nope...not me)

19. You know someone who can get you a good deal on electronics, computers, mobile phones. (hmmm i must be 'deprived'...dunno any)

20. Your toothpaste tubes are all squeezed paper-thin or your parents cut the sides of the tube with scissors to get all of it out b4 its thrown out. (no way, jose!!! besides...my toothpaste tube over here is not the ordinary one but the pump one)

21. Always watch movies at the cinemas on Tuesdays. (nope..not free on tuesdays.)

22. You have this plastic covering in the hallways of the house to protect the carpets. (i have no hallway)

23. You find it hard to pronounce simple English words such as"three" into "free" or "tree". (three. free. tree.how dare u look down on me!!!)

24. You've gambled at the Crown Casino at least once and get upset when you lose 5 bucks. (din even step into the casino yet cos of this AMY.)

25. You take this message and forward it to all your Asian friends. (just to show how wrong some of these are)

Not to mention:

Asians and mobile phone accessories. (me no have any phone accessories)
Asians and dyed hair. (me no have dyed hair. think my mum would kill me if i do)
Asians and karaoke (filos) (it's fun!)
Asians and the entire population of their "Aunty" and "Uncles". (LOL)
Asians and their infatuation with either weight loss (girls) or weight gain (guys). (rite...)
Asians and breakdancing or raving
Asians and Morning Glory, Whitehouse, City etc...
Asians and flares
Asians and chunky headphones to look cool (hahah the 3 phones!!!)
Asians and sticker photos

ok...some of them are true and some are not. in my case, that is.
well i've got this 2 hour break. usually i go home and eat lunch and watch tv. but the sky was looking a bit gloomy and dark and it's quite windy. so decided to stay back at uni.
Currently, it's 15.6 degrees with a humidity of 65.5% and the wind is blowing from the north-west at a speed of 13.3 km/h.
yes...u can tell i'm a bit bored.
