I think my mother has like x-ray vision or something. She can tell hokkien people and teochew people apart. Haha. Sounds pretty racist... But then again... Racist to her own race meh?! Haha.
I asked her how she told them apart lah. And this is the step by step method to finding out who is teochew or hokkien. Those of you who don't know which one of the above I am, try guessing which dialect am I. Haha. I'll reveal answers next time I blog. Haha. So heres the method:
1) Hokkiens are have more 'kwa zhang' and 'chor lor' features. This means they are generally more exaggerated and prominent. Teochews have 'dao' features. This means that they are basically more proud lah. There will be this element of 'dao' in their facial features and they have softer features that are not so loud.
2) Hokkiens are usually the ones people declare chio among two girls one hokkien and one teochew. Teochew girls are at first look the not so chio one. Usually catergorized as cute or sweet. The teochews have sweeter features than hokkiens although hokkiens are the pretty ones with more pronounced features.
That's a two step method to identifying lah. I say that the 'kwa zhang' and 'dao' thing is rather accurate. Haha. So am I hokkien or teochew? Guess, guess, guess! (Wo cai wo cai wo cai cai cai!)

This blog contains the memories of two people who hated each other at first, managed to get to know each other anyway, got attached for a year plus and then decided to break up.
They are very different people especially in personality and even though they love(ed) each other very much, there are some things that because of love, you have to let go.
Just happened that it would have to be this relationship.
They now remain very very good friends. (Time will tell if this sentence actually holds.)
