Ooooookayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy…moving along now.
Here’s something I came across while doing my regular blog-whoring the other day. Got this from my man Shah’s
TalkOnly and thought I’d take back home to the
Land and share with those who may be interested to give it a shot on this set of questionnaire.
You are required to answer all the questions given below and see how Malaysian can you be. 21-30 correct answers will supposedly make you a true blue Malaysian I guess. Those with between 11-20 correct answers, as according to Shah, can claim to be the average Malaysian. I am however, not gonna take your Malaysian-ness to task if your correct answers are less than 10 but I would seriously suggest you to quit mingling around too much with your neighbour’s hot Filipino maid.
On my first and only attempt, I only managed a sorry 13 correct answers which falls under “average Malaysian” category. Nothing much to be proud of I must admit.
Some regulars at his blog may have done this but It’d be interesting to see how well others would fair. The set of question goes first (in
bold). I’ve provided the correct answer below the questions with my answer in
blue. NO CHEATING guys.
(No idea why but question 14 is missing).
So here goes. Again, DO NOT CHEAT or a
momok will come to your house and rape your dog.
