^ *still attempting to recover from being poisoned with laughter by the Singlish video above* I watched it over and over again and still laughed my ass off. Anyways, when I am with other people I say WOW that window display is the bomb! *cough cough* While I check myself out. Washing the dishes...I look at myself on the spoon and metal bowls. When the computer screen has a black background I transform it into a mirror. First time I ever got a balloon as a little girl, I looked at myself in it and kissed myself. Talk about self-centered.

^ AHAHAHAHA! That one was great! Wonder who is the most Eurasian person here in terms of the "stereotypical EA personality and traits"!

Lol back to the topic, still not tired.
You know you're Eurasian if....
Going into a Japanese (or any Asian supermarket really) and you're the only one to get asked "Do you need help?" when you know exactly what you're looking for. Then when you checkout..everyone is staring at you.
You go to Chinatown and people just speak in Chinese about you and expect you not to understand.
You expect to get asked "Where are you from?" many times a day.
Your hair is very very straight, but sometimes lighter than black. Or black but wavy.
One eye can look bigger than the other on some days.
People think you're married or have a strange last name (applies to me).
If you have hairless arms, but your armpit hair, leg hair, and down-there-hair grows back like the speed of light and you need to get waxed/shaved much more frequently than most "full Asians".
A lot of people stare at you as if they want to say something to you.
You put soy sauce in your pasta. Yum.
You go on EAN.
Meh...that's all I can think of for now.

You know you're Eurasian if one eye is slanted and the other is round. A friend pointed it out today. Never noticed it before.

you know you're eurasian when you walk into a car dealership or open house with your parents and the salespeople debate over whether to send the white dude or the chinese dude in your direction
If it's just me alone, I ALWAYS get the white dude.
And not to get off topic, but I love looking for cars with my parents .... the salesmen just hound them (my dad especially) as they've been trained to sense who the decision maker ... that of course frees me up to jump in all the cars and play with the buttons. ;D

In my 20s, my family (4 persons) went together for dim sum at a well-known Chinese restaurant near Washington, DC. They typically give chopsticks to Asian customers and forks to non-Asian customers. At our table the waiter dropped from about a meter above the center of the table, 2 pairs of chopsticks and 2 forks. Just a couple weeks after that incident, I read in the Washington post a small quip about that very restaurant, entitled, "The Sound of one Stick Chopping" - the waiter eyed a "mixed race" customer and brought her one fork and one chopstick.

^ I always get forks at Chinese restaurants. But then again, I rarely eat with chopsticks..maybe for some condiments. I can't eat rice with it, don't have the "technique".

Don't know if it has been posted earlier (and don't want to read all 17 pages to check!), but you know you're Eurasian if you wake up with one eyelid bigger than the other after not sleeping enough/sleeping too much and you have to fiddle about with your eyelids to make them symmetrical again.

You put soy sauce in your pasta When I make a pasta dish I always add a couple of teaspoons of oyster sauce. It sounds gross but I like it, give it a go!
