The Classic Asian

So, what do you do when you feel wide awake (when you shouldn't be because you know it's running on sheer adrenaline which would fail you the following day) and there's no one online, and you've done most of the things you should?

You think of something to complain about...or maybe that only applies to me.

So yeah! Here are some of the classic things Asians undeniably love to do which irritate me, though unfortunately I do these at times too! What, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em right?

Anyway...

The Ultimate No. ONE!!!
(Divided into subs, kekekeh).
a) Failing terribly at responding to compliments.
For example...
A: Hey, you look good today!
B: Ha??? -long pause- -feeble smile-

b) Failing terribly to be gracious.
For example...
A: Waaa, nice bag lah!
B: No lah no la, yours nicer. Mine, buy at MJC onlyy..

c) Trying too hard to act humble. As my friend said there's a difference between being dumb and humble humble doesn't mean pushing sincere compliments away.
For example...
A: That's a great idea, you're so smart! (Well of course, when this is said nicely).
B: Nooo.. I'm stupid... You're smarter than me...-add dramatic sigh here and emo look maybe (Honestly!)

The Ultimate Number TWO!!!
Blaming "Ingenuity"!
For example...
A: Try harder next exam, you can do it.
B: Can't... You definitely can la, cause you're smarter. I'm not that good, surely can't score A.
A: !!!!!
Ouch, yknow what this means? The hard work and blood and sweat of others have just been considered nothing but luck.

Whatever happened to the simple word "thank you" and showing some gratitude?

The Ultimate Number THREE!!!
Kiasu-ism!
Regardless of where, who, how and why, Asians are renowned for this striking attitude. From going early to school on the 1st day school reopens to reserve "good" seats, to fighting to get in line during Air Asia flights (although the seats have already been assigned now!!!), to struggling in class to be top, to cutting ques (whether at immigrations or McD), to getting into the toilet cubicles, to you-name-it-and-we've-done-it.

The Ultimate Number FOUR!!!
The Blame Game!
This is simple. Speaks for itself. Something goes wrong, blame the other party! especially when it comes to politics

The Ultimate Number FIVE!!! -- applies to females only...i think?
The Toilet Rush!
Go to the washroom! Go in a big group! The more the merrier! And after we pee...let's camwhore. Like there's no place else on earth for that.
Fyi, this strictly doesn't apply to me.

The Ultimate Number SIX!!!
The Who, Where and Why?
Whenever you're invited to an event, the 1st thing you'll say?
"Oh..." almost unenthusiastically, "what's it about?"
I always wondered why'd you wanna attend something when you already know what it's precisely about though.
After explanation, without registering the significance
"Oh... Who else is going?"
Asians!
Well we can't be blamed. This place isn't safe for you to be anywhere without someone you know okay?

The Ultimate Number SEVEN!!!
The Back Seat= The Best Seat!
Speaks for itself doesn't it. We're contrary to what is supposed to be. Others are early to get good seats, we're early to sit right behind. Such considerate beings hm.. ;)

The Ultimate Number EIGHT!!!
Doctor, Lawyer, nothin' more/less.
Almost all parents see their kids to be a doctor or lawyer in the future, even if they don't voice it out...sad isn't it?

The Ultimate Number NINE!!!
Procrastinate!!!

The Ultimate Number TEN!!!
The Passenger Strategy!!!
One person does the work, another ten shares the credit! We're a loving community!
Works alllll theee time, oh yeahhhh...

To end this, thanks for reading! Feel free to drop a comment especially if you've more to add about this issue; ourselves, Asians! Found everywhere, all across the globe, doned with different cultures, yet these mindsets shall never cease in the mind of an Asian... Truly..Asian...

Great, now I sound like I'm promoting for some tourism company.
