I just noticed there is a group called "I come from Sabah and NO, we do not live on trees or wear gigantic leaves!!" in our lovely Facebook, guess what... I saw a wall posted by someone like this.....these are some funny questions I've come acrossed with them western msians. seriously, they make themselves sound so silly...
1. oh.. you from sabah ar?? how u come here (penang) ???
[er... through a secret underground tunnel?..... ELLO??? o_O]
2. wah? sabah also got 012 ar?
[damn pissed off...]
3. u take plane from sabah to penang? alone ar? u not scare meh?
[hell no, bitch! we're not spoil brats like u!]
4. in the airplane... is it like a bus ar? got conductor one?
[-____-]
5. do u have internet at sabah?
[this was my dad's fren who was chatting with him ONLINE!!!]
6. you people live on trees ar?
[*sarcastically* yes, and we use our very own private helicopters to get up to our homes, summon em buayas to give us a ride down the river and ask our pet animals to get food for us...]
Okay, well...of course I know not totally 100% western malaysians think like this way, some of them are knowledgeable one LOL but maybe 20% of whole semenanjung Malaysia la.....erm....actually this kind of phenomenon also exist in Melbourne la, let me say an example, there was a Australia Born Chinese asked me...
"Where are you come from?"
"Malaysia"
"Oh, is Malaysia near to China?
"Nope it's not, have you been to KL"
"KL??? What's that?"
"Kuala Lumpur"
"I don't know where is that XD " ( I terus dun wanna mention where do I come from, sai hi only if I explain to him)
The last word he said " Not bad you guyz can speak English... "
Whoaaaa....cit tiu mao lit mao lit and mao lit..........I give up.....
As we can see, there are a lot more ppl in this world are 井底之蛙. Some more in Malaysia????? In my point of view we don't need to give a damn to this bunch of people la, and we don't need to explain so much as well, life goes on, why don't we just live happily everyday and get rid of this kind of nonsense stuff, smile :D
(For Sabahan only)
Oh yeah there's a hint for u guys how to answer a silly question like this....if someone ask you....
"Hey how is Sabah/KK look like a?????"

"WIKIPEDIA yourself la !!!!! "
