In Some People's Eyes, We Are of One Bangsa Afterall
Had a chat with two China Masters (CM) students this evening.
Me: So where are you from?
CM: China. U?
Me: Malaysia.
CM: But you look Chinese...
Me: Well, I am a Chinese. My grandfather's from China.
I felt pretty weird since I've never really tried convincing others that I am Chinese before.
The Chinese couple looked bewildered, probably thinking that I was a Malay initially. Hm..should've asked them why.

Haha... my friends used to think I am a Malay because I am from Malaysia. =P You know, French from France, American from America etc...
Malaysia must be like such a foreign country to them then..
Yes it is even foreign to the malays.
