Eh I’m Malaysian, K?
I got home a few hours ago but this stupid incident is still poking around my mind.
Forgive the English go no style no grammar rules one because I got a lot of bull to shit today.
Just now at 10.30 Eric and I were coming back from the 40-Days of Purpose cell meet, and we were talking about pool and mamak and all that.
After the Bulatan Othman we turned into the three-laned NPE Highway (Old Klang Road lah), and got stuck in a stupid jam for like 15 minutes.
Then go further up only realize, achelly got road-block in front.
OK never mind. Eric said, 'Stupid do lah two lane road block why must make single lane at 10.30 somemore.'
So me being the goody goody girlfriend said, 'Never mind lah can talk. Cool down. Not like we're rushing anyway.'
So we jalan-ed. The car moved slowly. Slowly, slowly, dah pun sampai tu Berhenti Untuk Pemeriksaan Polis sign.
Biasalah, I expect the police to shine shine the torchlight and let us go past.
Then the big fat moustache-d Tuan go and ask Eric to wind down his window.
OK wind down window. Tiu he go and ASK ME FOR MY IC. Not Eric you know, ask ME! ME! I'm fucking innocent OK.
For a minute I thought someone go and ask some police to arrest me for the Bedtime Stories and the bad bad things I write about parents and children. And religion. And sex. And everything else. Oh.
And for calling myself minishorts.
WTF.
Eric go whisper in my ear as I searchd for my IC, 'Eh I think he think you're too young to go out so late.'
So the Tuan go see my IC. Then say, 'OK boleh pigi.'
Then Eric go and kaypoh and ask, 'Eh check apa?'
'Oh check untuk RRC.'
'RRC? Apa tu RRC?'
'Rakyat Republik China.'
WTF? WTF?
Do I look like a Tai Lok Mui to you?
WAILS.
I am 100% Malaysian ok. 100%.
The worst thing is stupid Eric and Nick keep on laughing about the whole incident. Then Kenny also go laugh at me. Not funny ok.

Hi Minishorts - stereotype of tai lok mui - very fair and pretty - I must admit you fulfill the stereotype- congrats kekeke

Great to see you back and writing again

July 2nd, 2005 at 3:50 am
Lol! Seriously, why so ‘GRR’ about it? I personally find the story to be hilarious! It’s cool to have something like that happen once in a while, it keeps life interesting ler!
Admit it, I bet you were grinning to yourself after passing the roadblock. At worst, it still made for a good story.
July 2nd, 2005 at 3:55 am
my turn to laugh: HAHAHAHAHA.
July 2nd, 2005 at 3:55 am
hahhaha…i think if the TUAN never point not many people wouldn’t have realised. But come to think of it you do really look like a “Xiu Long Lui” .
But in a good way ma…. BTW you really have a very nice smile
July 2nd, 2005 at 5:08 am
Does it help if I laugh at you as well?
July 2nd, 2005 at 5:58 am

July 2nd, 2005 at 9:15 am
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!! Okay lar..set…I’m calling you ‘tai luk mui’ from now on. Muahaha!!
Okay lar, I’ll be nice. Look at it this way…maybe it was Eric’s face that looked villainous and the umm..kind-hearted, *heroic* policeman was hoping to ummm…save you…how’s that? *LMAO*
July 2nd, 2005 at 9:43 am

n apparently i forgot to bring any identification, till i have to pay them rm50 to get away or else how to ask my mom to bring my ID from all the way down to hartamas at 3 in the morning?! perhaps i look like illegal immigrant..
July 2nd, 2005 at 10:01 am
*ROFL till almost pengsan*
Maybe its cause they thought Eric was harbouring a *uh-hum* .
I think you might know what that might mean bt if not, MSN me. LOL!
But I’ve been stopped before too, probably the fellow thought looked too young to be driving.
July 2nd, 2005 at 10:48 am

I’ll laugh after I post this.
July 2nd, 2005 at 12:28 pm
hahaha!~
apa boleh buat, you look too asian maybe?
next time must tell them, RRC girls don’t look as good as m’sian-chinese!!!
July 2nd, 2005 at 12:56 pm
Hey,
You sure you’re not the Tai Lok Mui I had two nights ago? Come to think of it, she looked very much like you, and like you, she wore nothing, of course!
July 2nd, 2005 at 1:22 pm
Hi minishort,
This is so hilarious! Couldn’t help but have a good laugh at your expense. Thanks for lifting up the spirit for an otherwise boring start to the weekend here in Edinburgh, UK. Cheers!
July 2nd, 2005 at 1:29 pm
Cop wanna do his job, if he never check on you, you be thinking he taking short cut, so he double check on you coz he thought you look like the Chinese GRO type, or maybe the mama-san or the snake head. Or then again your Eric may look like a pimp, so he thought you are his worker. Whatever, this is nothing compared to being stopped during daytime near a police station, then being asked for IC and then being purposedly asked to collect the IC from the police station. Real reason was the police wanted enough people to complete the identification parade. Until today, never know if the identification parade was for theft, robbery or even rape!!
July 2nd, 2005 at 1:38 pm
i’m laughing too but wait! i was kena ask for ic before too
and it happened just right outside of my condo. while me & my friend walking towards her car (parked outside of condo), a police patrol car passed by & ask for our ic. hmm… i guess i & my friend really look like tai lok mui!:evil:
July 2nd, 2005 at 3:09 pm
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
July 2nd, 2005 at 3:18 pm
Actually, nobody knows who am I. I am just another reader that doesn’t blog.
To give my 2 cent’s worth,
I think the policeman thought u were PRC because around that area, there are quite a few spas and ktv which have PRC GROs.. my point is that alot of PRC that are working there are BEAUTIFUL, therefore i suppose he would normally check the id of beautiful girls. So don’t take it so seriously.
July 2nd, 2005 at 3:25 pm
Maybe use less foundation and/or more blusher/fake tan next time?
July 2nd, 2005 at 4:24 pm
*laugh* I kena-ed before also. Exactly the same thing. I was like “WTF, can’t they see I’m like so dark for a chinese?”. Oh! I forgot. It was 10-ish at night. DUH!!
July 2nd, 2005 at 4:54 pm
Heh, maybe it is not your face that caused the suspicion but teh bf’s face leh? LOL!
July 2nd, 2005 at 6:05 pm
just speak a line of Manglish and that sarjen hafiz (fake name la) will know that you are a Malaysian…
no need to have soar face lah… if they laugh, join the fun lor… kannot win them join them…

July 2nd, 2005 at 7:55 pm

Don’t want ppl to mistake you for ‘tai lok mui’, get a tan-lah..!
July 2nd, 2005 at 8:44 pm
minishorts = china mail order bride
hahahaha
July 2nd, 2005 at 8:49 pm

July 2nd, 2005 at 9:33 pm
aaaa true la police like to ask for ic…
i wanted to laugh, but the truth is, they’re just trying to look for gro’s
or probably, they just want to know you laaa anyways
just chill it okay?
July 2nd, 2005 at 10:02 pm
At least they didn’t think you were frm Nepal or something waay off like that.
’sides, as the others have said, some would consider looking like a tai lok mui to be a compliment.
July 2nd, 2005 at 10:21 pm
July 2nd, 2005 at 10:42 pm
Choo Ki, so that’s your real name. Very cute name indeed actually. Kinda like it actually.
I think you meant that you are partially malaysian coz you migrated from s’pore? lol.
luv your style of writing, man no matter what they say.
nyways good to see you writing again.
July 2nd, 2005 at 11:47 pm

woi, better than my fren ler. we were coming back from bukit kayu hitam and at a GOP roadblock, the police ask my female colleague, “You Thai kah?”. before she could answer, i laughed out like a pig! bwahahaha snort snort! the GOP just say “jalan!”. bwahahaha! that colleague didn’t want to talk to me for 30 minutes. hehehe
July 4th, 2005 at 4:05 pm
Well YAY two Chinese chicks have asked me if the LRT goes to a certain place… in Malay. Yay to less awkward siutations to put a banana in!
July 4th, 2005 at 4:08 pm
This can be attributed to my un-Chinese beard and un-ahbeng clothing. I think.
July 4th, 2005 at 5:38 pm
Yeah - you too young to be out so late!
I know how it is. In Aussie, you can get into a pub at 18 yo - but I ws never allowed in till I turned 21 yo as they all thought my ID was fake.
Then, when I was 24 yo, that’s when they finally stopped asking for ID, as I finally looked somewhere near 18 yo.
Though I was mistaken for a 16 year old when I was 26 once! Bwahahahahaha~! The curse of looking young!
July 6th, 2005 at 10:30 am
another classic dumb police operation initiated without much thought or flippin’ common sense. i’d sure like to see them try to ID every chinese girl they cross. stupid ppl, this is MALAYSIA! where there are millions of chinese msians!
are u from FGA?????
