her :" wat kind of music u normally listen to?"
me :"er..local band...indonesia band...seldom listen to chinese songs tho.."
her :"aiyeerr...u like listening to malay songs??"
me :"er..yea...sometime..and sometime they dun just sing in malay..they have english songs also.."
her :"aiyer...listen to malay song....can go marry malay girl dy.."
me(in my heart) :"..WTF!!!????"
yeap yeap..this was part of my conversation with one of my female colleague....and that was her response after knowning my music taste...
wat's wrong with a chinese listening to malay songs or local band or indonesian band??
i listen to ungu, peterpan, nidji, nitrus, disagree, love me butch, nice stupid playground, sheila on 7, PAS band, acha septriasa&irwan shah, samsons, one buck shot, estranged, audy, glenn fredl, letto, too phat, jason lo, single track mind, tragicomedy, OAG and lot lot more...
so what????????????
and u, without listening to any of the song from either one of the artist or band that i mention....and u straight away gave me "WTF-those-kind-of-songs-also-can listen-?" type of look...
i mean i dun give u the look when i know u'r from chinese-ed who just listen to chinese songs and don't wan to accept other type of song because u think chinese songs are the best of the world..
mind u..i was from chinese school also...u know how to sing jay chou songs..i know too...u know how to read chinese newspaper..i know too...
i think one shouldn't just confine themselves to their own culture.......be open-minded and try accept others culture..maybe u might like it too.......i do listen to chinese songs too sometimes.....
and u know wat pissed me the most??
listen to malay songs must marry malay girl?
then i listen to japanese songs..i must marry japanese girl?
if i listen to bob marley...then my choice ma left jamaica.....tiu lor like this...how am i going to expend my family tree like this??
a total bullshit from a very immature person.....
i know alot of chinese have the same music taste as me...
but the type of mentality my colleagues has....still exist around us..widely.....guess we cant do anything about it tho...
ppl can change their fashion taste easily..ppl can change their food taste easily..ppl change everything easily.........but mentality...wait long long la....
-disappointed-
