Few days ago after the Korean lecture, as usual I’d have my lunch at the nearby café where it will be loaded with foreign students now and then. There was a girl sitting right in front of me with a good, fair complexion and of course the lure of beauty attracted me to set my sights on her. By the way, she is a Muslim as she wore the “tudung” covered all around her head. The questions popped up in my mind “Is she Iran?”, “Is she Chinese or Malay?” and etc.
While I was thinking, I’ve caught her gazing at me for times…”Am I annoyed or frustrated her”, I asked myself repeatedly. By the time she was about to leave, this was the right time that I could have a closer look at her…keke. I plugged up my courage to have a glance for this belle clearly. Somehow she smiled to me and that’s how our conversation going on. She commenced by asking my nationality; anyway I would be able to guess at her answer. She addressed that my appearance seem rather more like a Chinese than as a Malaysian. Basically, she is not the only person to state so. In fact, she is a postgraduate from China taking the equivalent course as I do. Such a coincident man! Now only I realized there are quite a number of students from China in my campus as well.
The most possibility for the ‘Chinese-effect’ could be the types of complexion or just simply due to the significant shape of the face (standardized in China especially). For me I’d rather choose the latter one instead…:p It’s hardly to find the ‘standardized- Chinese-face’ among my friends and even relatives as I can dictate!! Except one of my cousin who is in U.S for the time being, we really look alike :)
Either to be a Chinese or a Malaysian is not a big deal; the nationality means to distinguish the people of geographical distribution throughout the world. The most vital part in my life is to being myself…live with no regret, try to get rid of sorrow and on top of that is to give life a moment of joyous!!

Once heard that the number of China's Muslims are actually greater than Malaysian population, so I think it is not a big deal for you to spot one or two of them at your campus.
As for dress code, can we really tell their race from their casual dressing (of course not traditional dressing) May be I am not aware of it since I don't think racial issue is what I should concern.
嘿,是悲哀嗎?我們傾向於用‘種族’多於用‘民族’認知自己的身份。是少了那份歸屬感,或‘可愛’的政治人物所言:不合群?!
小孩子最無邪,不會因爲膚色問題名字長度宗教差異而互相排斥。長大后,學得越多‘公民教育’,懂得越多‘國家決策法’,反倒建立了一道有形無形的墻。嘿嘿,教育的宗旨本末倒置了。倒不如不教育更好。原來,要'proud to be ————'真的不容易。。。
