A salesman in a shoe shop asked me,
'ARE YOU LOCAL?'
I wanted to maul him. Like a lion stranded in a famine for 4 weeks.
I am speaking of a MALAYSIAN asking a MALAYSIAN whether she's MALAYSIAN.
Okay. WELCOME HOME, LYN. You have chosen to dwell in your supposed birthplace where your own people can't even tell that you have spent 18 years of your life breathing local air and investing heavily in their shoe (and food) industry.
You may even have to ditch your 'universal' english accent in order to be understood.
Speak S L O W Y, I mean.
and what about your 20hrs of sunlight-MEDITERRANEAN TAN- acquired from ESPANA? Well ditch it as well. Because it is considered UGLY. According to the chinese malaysians anyway. Apparently they do not want their sons to marry you because you apparently look like you've been slaving it out at the construction site in harmony with the immigrant builders.
Hold on Lyn, your RELATIVES are watching you like HAWKS. They can't wait to feed on your supposedly dead body because they BELIEVE that you have ended your hopes of a glamorous career BECAUSE you have taken the FATAL step to leave London. This will be their opportunity to flaunt their stupid kids aka. child prodigies who are currently slutting their ways abroad in multinational corporations and overrrated London universities.
WELCOME HOME LYN. WELCOME HOME.
I THINK THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

awww.. thanks to all of you! such sweet comments!! apart from Johns' that is.. LOL!!
looks like I have developed some sort of complex since I got back to M'sia.....and due to busy busy days ahead of me, I am robbed of the luxury to enjoy what I love most.. such as days of hanging out with my dear Caracolacolacola by the beach, harassing Kor Kor on YM, shopping and pigging out with my dearest Shirl, beating John up in the middle of the London streets, kicking Kunstemaecker outside the pub, seeking inspiration on poetic Misti's, crazy Socialpest, bizzarre superman's foot and lovely birthday girl Jess's blogs?
I MISS YOU ALL!! MUACKSSSSS!!!!!!
