Met up with Delvin last weekend. Surprisingly, I could actually get on his 1000cc bike. I mean, I had turned down a ride from another guy who offered to send me home on his big bike because I knew I would feel uncomfortable since I didn't really know him that well. It's not like I knew this guy very well either, but well..guess I didn't know how to tell him I would rather take the public transport instead. Or maybe, it was because I knew I would feel more comfortable with him? Who knows..
Anways, went for lunch and then met up with his friends to go to a car showroom. Felt slightly awkward being there, among his friends coz after all, I was the odd one out. And I'm sure judging from the 'trying to look but try not to make it so obvious' looks that they gave me, they must be thinking "What is this ma lai ren doing here??"(what is this malay person doing here?) Hehe..but overall, it was ok. I think I would have felt even more uncomfortable being around a group of strangers who are my own race. It's not like I'm racist or anything but right now, it's just how things are. Just find myself more relaxed being with hua ren.(chinese people) Plus, I can brush up on my mandarin.:)
ps:* I can speak mandarin better than I can spell.
* For the benefit of non-speaking chinese friends, the title here means "I can speak a little mandarin."
