apology
if my post "curry muncher" offended anyone, i'm sorry. it wasn't meant to. none of the comments were made in seriousness. afterall... i myself am known as "tangkachi" (little indian girl?), pocahontas, "hak guai mui" (black ghost girl) amongst other things. why? my cousins have been calling me "tangkachi" ever since i remember, coz i used to spend all my time swimming and tanning til i looked like someone left me in the oven a little too long. i think i've got my identities slightly mixed up. as our cab driver last night pointed out. "all three of us (rudy, cab driver and myself) have got no flag. we can't be patriotic coz we have no patriot. we ain't got nowhere to go. if i go to italy, they wouldn't want me. you go to china, and people would be asking you, what part of you is chinese? you're malay! (malaysian) and you, well... you don't even know what country to go to!"
so here i am. a little chinese/thai girl born in malaysia, half-raised in australia, being called a "tangkachi". mixed identities indeed. but then again, that would make most malaysians slightly misplaced then. in the end, we just have to say, fuck it. malaysia is our country, our flag, our patriot. if we go back beyond that, we'll simply be lost. as for eurasians... you're just completely lost from the start!! ;p Alysia S. procrastinated again @ 11:35 am
