Differences between chinese and malay households

Over the course of the entire fasting month, I’ve been proportionating my time over two households. One is mine and the other is Loretta’s. I’ve been buka-ing back and forth and no worries you religious nazis, her maid’s muslim so she never cooks pork and the maid fasts and stuff like that.

Anyway, this social project that we intended (pfft, who the fuck you kidding boy) has led me to draw some conclusions and findings that I shall present today.

Note that the following are merely assumptions and do not apply to all households, I know chinese households and malay households that fall WAY out of the category.

1. Malays MUST have a piece of carpet lying around. Somewhere, somewhere under the table, under the chair, in the kitchen, there must be something between your feet and the cold harsh floor of….well it’s cold.

Chinese people don’t usually have carpets, why? Because they have marble floors they can show off.

2. Most malay households (or rather the normal ones) have a piece of religious writing on their wall, whether small or large (i have a large).

Chinese households either have an altar, pastings of quotes about Christ everywhere or well, nothing.

3. Malay households are very warm because of the type of furniture the indigneous people of Singapore are inclined to, you know, like wood.

Chinese households somehow neutralize this effect. Their furniture can be wood but it wouldn’t look as woody as that of a Malay’s? Yes hard to comprehend but the full realization will hit you!

4. Malay households always always always always have food. Whether junk food, biscuits, snacks, instant noodles, noodles, ice cream, frozen food. You want food, we have food!

Chinese households don’t normally have food because I realize that Chinese kids don’t have ravenous appetites that require them to munch on something all day.

5. Malay household toilets aren’t exactly clean. Then again, I take this back I think it only refers to mine.

6. There is almost always a main central big wooden/glass dining table to eat with more than enough chairs as it is more than the number of people in the family and most of the time, the family doesn’t eat together.

Now, the Chinese may HAVE one but they don’t use it…much.

Now now don’t be angry, I like both houses. The only reason why I like the chinese one more is because loretta’s there but besides that the Malay’s one fine. We’re going to live in a brick one though, so that just falls under ang-moh-poseurs-living-in-singapore-wasting-limited-space-in-a-house-the-big-bad-wolf-couldn’t-blow-down-cause-he’s-hairy.
