But suddenly that thought came across. Yes, I don't really talk to other Malaysian girls outside my TESOL circle. That doesn't include my other circle which is like a combo of everything.
The reason is that, I knew that many of the Malaysian crowds here are into the 'usrah' stuff. The boys are fine with me, we could talk into anything and there is no double standard or a hint of alienation though I do not participate in their religious activities.
However with the girls it is a different story. I understand that they are bounded with the obligation to remain refined and saintly especially being around their sisters in charge. So I respect that and to show it I avoid my eye contact, even smiling or greeting.
I had no idea that my respectful manner was misinterpreted as being cold and arrogant.
So if that ever happens to any Malay girls who expect cheerful greetings and warm smile from me, I deeply apologise.
It occurred to me one day that I was about to greet my friend who lived in the same apartment with me last year. As usual I would wear my jocund personality to avoid awkwardness since we haven't spoken for a while. It was my bad that I didn't realize that my friend there was hanging out with her usrah sisters.
While my friend there knew my ardent character and tend to prolong the conversation, the sisters were not comfortable and jolted her to stop us. They were like, shut it and lets go in the elevator. I was like, what the fuck is wrong with these girls. I had no bad intention to her or their group, its not like I'm a rapist or something.
Then we said our goodbyes and left as if nothing happened.
What the fuck.
Fuck the sisters.
Come on. They can talk to the locals, koreans and whoever but not to Malaysian boys? Really now? Oh is that a new cult? Why don't you make a petition, no Malay boys in Auckland uni because we can't talk to them. You girls are will make such a good joke.
Anyways,I'm sorry if this post hurts. If I can tolerate this, you can do it too, right religious bitches? I thought you girls are 'lebik baik' from the rest, and trying to be better every day. Practice what you preach.
