Much ado about ... odour ...

During my trip to the east coast last week, we made a pit-stop somewhere in the outskirts of Kuantan. The toilet had some smell … it was kind of familiar to me … reminded me of the smell from university hostel, particularly those occupied by Malays … so I just casually remarked … typical Malay smell / odour …

Now, not that I meant anything vicious, but it’s just something off the back of my head. Anyway, Ah Teck made an interesting comment … like, yes it’s Malay smell … and we also know of Indian smell, but don’t you think to them, Chinese have smell too?

That actually got me thinking … do Chinese have smell? And if yes, are we oblivious about it? Must be.

Very good question … as to … look yourself into the mirror 1st before commenting … as they say, it’s like the kettle calling the pot black …

Sigh … stereotypical me … hehehe …
