reasons to like being surrounded by white men

when i pack for summer i always pack my hand luggage with loads of stuff to take the weight off my check-in luggage. this might sound a bit weird, but there's the check-in luggage weight limit, you see. my hand luggage was almost always too heavy for me to lift, and definitely always impossible for me to pick up and put in the plane's overhead compartment. but i never worry about this, because there are always tall and strong guys to help me out. haha. there's this once when i bought a ton of stuff from Argos and i can barely carry them. one of the things fell out of my grip and i just stared helplessly at it because i couldn't pick it up without putting everything else down. guess what happened? there was this guy who came running from across the street and offered help. ahaha. suka, suka. being small in a country where everyone is at least a foot taller than you has its own perks.

yesterday i was studying at the library, and after a while i decided to go and buy chocolate at the vending machine. there were a bunch of Americans standing behind me at the vending machine. i think they're Americans...they might be Canadians though, i can't tell their accents apart. anyway, my Mars bar got stuck and it didn't fall down for me to pick up, so i let out a small 'oh noooee'. one of the American guys turned round, said 'it's okay i got it.', HUGGED the freaking vending machine, and started to violently shake it. haha! omggg i thought the whole shelf of Mars bars were going to fall into the pick-up compartment!

i don't think any Malay guys can ever do that, bc you need to be freaking HUGE to hug a freaking VENDING MACHINE. lol. (not that i have anything against Malay guys...i just wish they're bigger. and taller. and less chauvinistic. HAHA.)
