I think I’ve been mistaken for various range of ethnicity and stereotypes characters in my lifespan due to how I look.
It’s still pretty subjective and people can get people insensitive at times just blurting it out without thinking first, but I’m used to it
From Bangladeshi construction worker, Indonesian student, Malaysian mat motor to a young innocent 18 year old kid (Err for the last one, I suspect the lady was just trying to suck up to me)
Well an example of such stereotyping. I went out to buy a second hand hard-disk on the weekend. Oooh I met Faddy that day by the way before meeting the seller.
Anyway back to the topic, the seller thought I was from SCDF. His first words upon seeing me was, “Eh you from SCDF ah?”
It’s these type of shite I’ve to endure on regular basis
But recently, an unforgettable incident really takes the cake lah
I was meeting my project partner in school to pass him some notes to finish up the project.
I didn’t know him that well, as we just randomly group up during lecture
Well I spotted him at the foyer the other day … oooh he wasn’t alone.
I presumed it’s his girlfriend , being they’re sitting so close to each other
She didn’t look that bad, very cheena but dateable
The project on my part was handed up to my friend, but I decided to chat and chill abit.
You know how when you meet people, you make small talks and socialise. We went about with the usual normal pleasantries, like how the exam is coming, projects talks, school as such
The boyfriend then excused himself awhile to get some food at the canteen and it just left me and the girl.
The girlfriend then asked if I want to hook up on a double date. She wanted to intro me to her friend upon finding out that I was single, and I loves clubbing
Of course I said yeah … let’s party like a rockstar I said
Then she said, “I think you’ll make a great couple with Annuar”
Obviously at first thought, maybe some daddy was being funny and named their daughter after a guy’s Malay name
But the girl continued rambling, “He’s awesome. He loves dancing too and I bet you two will hit it off on the dance floor”
In my mind, I was thinking … hey this is not funny anymore
Well I look into those cheena eyes of her, and earnestly said, “Do you know I’m straight”
She was caught back surprised and blushed. Of course she was apologetic after that. She thought I was gay. She got this “vibe that I have a gay quality” and her “gay-dar” aka gay radar are usually accurate. Well that was her words. Vibe, quality, gay-dar
This is not good. You reading this, stop laughing there, I’m being serious here
I’m not the type who bears grudges, hey maybe it’s a honest mistake. I left it at that and accepted her apology.
The question is now, I look gay eh?
I mean no disrespecting to gay men, I’m all for the abolishment of Sections 377 and 377A of the Penal Code (Singapore) but I don’t wish to be labeled as one as I still dig chicks man!
Oh boy …
My ‘gaydar’ is not picking up your signal, so …. no, you don’t look gay.
You the man, Sha! :D

eheheheheee……
nope no idea … will maybe ask her when i bump into her
hahahhah…
but i think its a compliment if people think u are gay…
cos u knw, MANY gay men dress with style,
and often very much good looking…
but i think u look good side by side with annuar…
wahahahahahhahaahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhaha
ooh sarcastic eh … :p
but i’ll take the i dress with style comment graciously. thank you
you’re hot and no..not gay HAHHA!
kelakar nak mampos…reading this on diwali some more HAHHA!
yes i am panas
kahkahakhakh….i agrees with Eddy, take that as a compliment Sha! cheer up..heheheh!!!
Hmmm.. maybe its cos your your smooth soft skin..now u know that those ‘beauty’ products u use is working wonders for your complexion. hehe.. Dude, u dont look gay. She was probably juz jealous of ur flawless face!! Be a man and keep up with the silk crystal balancer and clarifying face wash and unclog those pores!!
err haha, my skin is crap la
are you trying to be sarcastic here, haha
u know what i think? i think that girl’s damn rude!!! even if she thinks her suspicions is correct, she is so damn stupid to blurt it out. if i want to know if the guy’s really gay or not, i’ll look at his behavior first. and then make assumptions. but i make sure i hear it from the horse’s mouth first! u should just slap her left to right!
well some people just love to have their views heard i guess
thats the last i’ll make convo with her
LOL.
Just LOL.
Kesian. Of all things kene associated to be gay. Si pompan tu pon, gaydar dier made in china eh? sbab problem siket agaknyer.. WAKAKAKAKAA…
Sha.. sha.. Al-kesah….. wahahahah
no she’s a local, not bad looking but kinda on the talkative side
You look fine i can say you are not gay
That’s reassuring :)
My gay-dar tells me you’re not. Not even on first look (on the net). Can’t say much since I’ve not met you in person. kiak3. But seriously, I don’t see anything gay about you. Kalau ade yang kata pasal ‘vanity’, nak aje aku tapak dahi si polan tuh!
lek ah. idop mesti mau gay..err happy. :P
Haha, about bein ‘vain’ .. maybe just abit there, keke
…my gaydar..tells me u lookk gaaaay daaaaahhhhh….hehhehehe..jgn marah ek bro…
None taken
