Dateline To Catch

Nothing beats the adrenaline rush when you have a dateline to catch ....
It's like going for the 100 m dash
Although I'm no athlete, I used to love doing that during school days.
But my favourite was the hurdles ... it's like the 100m dash + obstacles.
While everyone was busy running 100m, 200m, 400m & relays,
I was on my own doing hurdles ...
Once my House Captain saw me ..
She was trying to teach an Indian girl the technics of jumping the hurdles & I heard her say,
"Did you see how the Chinese girl jump the hurdles .... thats how you do it"
There was no one else there but us ... so she was talking about me
Do I look Chinese ?
I don't think so ....
BUT I hung out with my chinese frens more than my malay frens so thats probably why she thot I'm chinese.
School days back then, it didn't matter what colour skin you have or what religion.
These days .. everything becomes political agenda.
Went to MidValley & for the first time sat & ate at the food court there.
I sat at a table where on the other end was a Chinese family.
Started talking to the daughter, it seems she's the only one who can speak Malay ( besides the children) .. we started complaining abt what else ... "Ayyo ... SSoo expensive la ... one plate like this already XXX ringgit ... yours how much ?"
HeHeHe .... boleh tanya-tanya lak makanan orang
And ya ... we were talking Rojak language just like the Rojak we ate .....
Wish I can do that more often .....
