Tao Yuan, Taiwan!

Hey there people!

I'm sorry for delaying my posts as I got seriously caught up with work stuffs these days. Nevertheless, I did uploaded a Youtube video a week ago! Have you check it out? If you haven't, please do.

So I was in Taiwan for the past week for a business trip. However, I took tons of photos and videos for blogging and Youtube purposes. Well I know what's running in your mind when I say Taiwan, Taipei. Am I right? Sadly, I didn't put a touch in Taipei but instead I went to a neighbouring state of Taipei known as Tao Yuan. It is uhhhh, industrial-ish? Yeah it is.

Oh by the way, thank you Air Asia X for the wonderful business class experience! Thumbs up. I'd give you more if I had more thumbs :) I love taking pictures from above. Here are some pictures!

It is actually my first time here. I have to say I love Taiwan because of the people here. I know Japanese are polite, Taiwanese comes second. My affiliate that I was visiting even put up a Malaysian flag next to the Taiwan flag just because I'm visiting from Malaysia. The weather on the other hand is chill. 21°C in the morning to mid noon and probably 18-19°C at night. 

Internet speed in Taiwan is LOVELY. Comparing to what we have in Malaysia, Taiwan's internet speed is 5 times faster! I hooked myself with a Taiwan sim card. RM35 (US$10) for 3 days unlimited internet and a few bucks worth of call credits. Convenient. Just plain convenient.

I love Taiwan food! Sadly, I don't eat chicken or beef but I'm all in for pork! I'm gonna' post some food photos and if you're a vegan, excuse me.

Taiwanese delicacy, Roasted whole chicken

Oh yea! I made some time to go to a small flea market where there are tons of street foods, mini game stations, fashion shop and more! 

That is all I got for my 1 day visit in Tao Yuan. Next post/video will be about Taichung another state in Taiwan. Well I'm not sure if they're states, counties or provinces. I assume they're states. Anyway. do check out my recent Youtube video of Tao Yuan which I'll attach below. Be sure to follow my Instagram, blog, Facebook and subscribe to my Youtube Channel! 

I'm still coping up in getting a new Go Pro so I can make better Youtube videos. Couldn't do it without your support. Well, thanks a million for visiting my blog and as always, BE NASTY, STAY HAPPY! :)

I am a Sino Kadazan!

Sup guys!

Lately I've been busy with some work stuffs. At first, blogging seems as easy as I thought it would be until I did it for real, I beg to differ. Having hundreds of readers daily, the tendency to blog is higher. Probably it is because I wouldn't wanna let my readers down. Just so you know, I'm also working on my Youtube channel so yea.

Anyway, I was at a car service station yesterday doing some car stuffs which I have been procrastinated for weeks now. For the first time in life, someone actually thought I am a mixed Indian! I'm not saying that I don't like Indians or being called one, I just can't seem to figure out on how on earth do I look like an Indian to him.

In Malaysia, we live in a multi cultural environment. Put the politics and racial issues aside because haters are gonna hate but I don't give a damn. I'm a mixed race/blood myself. As said, I'm a Sino Kadazan. What's that? Let me explain, easy.

SINO = Chinese (Somehow related to China)
So if you have a SINO in your racial status, you're most likely to be mixed Chinese. You could be a Sino Malay, Sino American, Sino Thai and so on.

My dad is a Sino Kadazan (Chinese + Kadazan), my mom is a Chinese (pure). Well that makes me 3/4 Chinese and 1/4 Kadazan which still gives me the status Sino Kadazan.

Kadazan is a local ethnicity commonly found in Sabah and Labuan. I'm not ashamed of my origins, I'm proud of it. Well, people often misjudged me due to my skin colour, facial resemblance as well as uhmm I don't know what else they're thinking. I'm tanned like apricot slight brown chocolate tan and I don't look like a Chinese AT ALL. I don't have small eyes that go away when I laugh like most Chinese do (not all, most).

But here's the kick, I can speak Mandarin and a few other Chinese dialects but not a single word for Kadazan haha! You can say that I might be Chinese educated, but you're wrong. I learnt to speak Chinese from friends. I picked it up bit by bit and now I can speak Chinese! Not butter smooth fluent though. I need to brush up my intonation that's all.

Out of all that, I'm still surprised on how did the Service Advisor deduced me as a mixed Indian. I was flattered though haha! Well, if someone misjudged you, don't be shy to tell them the real thing. I ain't afraid nor shy of where I came from. I am who I am, you are who you are and that can't be changed.

I am a Sino Kadazan.

Cheeeeeeers peeeeps! Be nasty, stay happy!
