It's hard to be polite .

This evening during my walk back home, a car honked at me. I looked up and saw lots of fury hands waving at me. Apparently it's a car jammed packed with men.


What's your first instinct?

To wave back, flash a smile back or simply...ignore it.

If it's in Malaysia, I will probably act blind.

When I was back home not too long ago, a car kindly stopped to let me cross the road. Politely I nodded at it as a gesture of appreciation, and the next second a head popped up and shouted behind me: yo.. siao jie siao jie, deng yi xia, jiao shen me ming zhi????

Conclusively, good manners or subconscious provocative gesture? Debatable.

In New Zealand, I am not too sure how to respond.

I choose to ignore.

But I feel bad.

Lots of my friends got yelled at like: FUCK**G Asians.

At least I am lucky enough to miss this derogatory mocking. Furthermore, am mo langs are friendlier in an innocent kind of way, kan????

So I decided to be more jolly, waving back at them as if they are my long -lost old mates.

The last time I did that, the car stopped and a few men came out inviting me to join their party.

Instinctively I pulled out the same old trick, looking at them confused and signalled that I do not understand them. 'Me...no....Speak..no..English...me..u ..is...who.' That did the trick and pissed them off.

So, I am yet to have the answer of 'how to s' in situation as such.
