Malaysia, oh Malaysia.....sigh....

Recently, a friend of mine put up a link to this youtube video that had me cringing. (I'm not gonna put a link up here cos I suck at things like that. Go google it you lazy bums!) It is an interview with Miss Malaysia Universe 2009 - JoannaBelle something or other. Seriously, watch it. I particularly like the version with subtitles. I just can't believe they picked this person to represent my country! It finally makes sense why I get comments like:
"Wow." *shocked look* "You speak really good English."
"So, where did you learn/how long have you been speaking English?"
"Wait, you're not from America??"
"Malaysia eh, do you guys still live in trees?"
"Malaysia? Where in China is that?"
Watching the clip, I am quite tempted to tell them that we are indeed a small province in Southern China. Hah. Also, one of her answers has pushed me into a self-doubting abyss where I now question my identity since I didn't know we had ower 50 tribes.... *wails* which one is mine?!? How will I define myself now??
No, seriously. I'm being a little dramatic and sarcastic there but I've actually been trying to figure out the whole tribe thing (she must have gotten it somewhere) and it's been bugging me since I heard it. Anyone have an answer?
On the bright side, representatives from other South East Asian countries are just as bad or even worse than JoannaBella :) I can honestly say that (even though I'm not all that nationalistic) this is one loss to Singapore that Malaysia does not mind. In the category of "I can't believe this idiot is representing my country," Miss Singapore World 2009, Ris Low, wins.
Okay, I'm done with my little PMSy rant.
Here's a little something to break up an otherwise monotonous week:
Just the other day, I randomly got in touch with my inner teapot while cooking dinner and so, I performed the "little teapot dance" for my sister. Twice. *grins* I thought it was great! She.....wasn't so impressed...haha.
my sis: *shakes head and sighs like I have no hope/will remain a "special" child forever*
"Is this what you do everyday when we're not at home??"
me: errr......no lah. *insert sheepish laughter*
my sis: Don't lie. You know you do it. You probably practice it.
me: eh, where got. *does a weird little monkey dance in front of the tv*
my sis: oi! don't dance! The neighbours will see you! Crazy!
hahahahahaha....I love utterly random insanity! :)
Btw, dinner was a little burnt but I managed to salvage it with my awesomeness :):)
