i've been home since wednesday night, cold weather breeds lazy bums, namely myself.
started getting info from my aunt about our family race. i've always known we were rojak, and i use the easy way out when asked about my race. "malay and chinese". easiest.
the following is based purely on my mom's side of the family, so by posting this, i really hope i won't have to go into detail about my race again.
my great grandfather is indo-chinese, his wife an indon as well, with an arab background. that means my grandfather is indon-chin-rab. haha.
my granny, however, was adopted by a malay family from trengganu. she's originally japanese-dutch.
which means, my mom, my 4 aunts and 3 uncles are indon-chin-rab-jap-utch.
god knows what the race is like on my dad's side of the family.
honestly speaking, i don't really want to know. anyway, i posted a pic of half the family (this was in bru, so the other half were in s'pore) during raya. its rather obvious some of us weren't ready, and the ones who were, were squashed in the back (no clues for guessing who). thats mummy in green and the weird hair. hehe sorry mom! for some reason, we all looked really tanned and tired in the pic. must be the pre-raya 'bunga api' session we had.. i think uncle jo n the boys bought hundreds of dollars worth of fireworks, which was, in my opinion, definitely worth it.
i miss raya already. looking forward to cny as well. so i can get a year's supply of cuttlefish. random.
