一班人不知我明白和会讲华语。初次见到我的华族，都会以国语或英语和我沟通，可能是因为我没有华人相。当他们知道我明白华语时，他们都会很惊讶。甚至有些已认识了我一两年，才知道我会讲华语，包括我老板。
我是Sino,有70%华人血统。和家人已及亲戚都以华语沟通；家里庆祝华人新年，中秋节，过冬，团伍节等等。父母亲都是Sino，父亲姓吴，母亲姓蔡。公公和外公都是华族，来自中国。婆婆是本地土族；外婆是Sino，姓郭。
曾经多次发生，一些人从没想到我明白华语，他们尽然在我面前公开说我坏话。我当然明白他们说什么，但一点也不生气，只觉得很好笑。所以说，不管什么地方什么人，千万要小心，避免说别人坏话。
有一位朋友，自前认识在居隆坡问过我：我是Sino，假如有一天沙巴华族和沙巴土族打起来，我会帮谁。。。我不知应该怎么回答他，只笑着对他说，这样的事情不会在沙巴发生。我也希望永远不会发生。沙巴州很多种族，大家都很一至，从来没有为了种族而吵起来。我是沙巴妹，我爱沙巴，很荣辛出生以沙巴，也很荣辛生为一位Sino…
Surprise? Nothing to surprise. Yes I can speak well in mandarin and broken Cantonese, I can read Chinese simplified and also Chinese traditional, and I able to write in Chinese. Long time didn’t read & write in Chinese, I think my Chinese knowledge already returned back to my teacher.. so here I’d wrote my blog in Chinese language to revise back those beautiful words.
Most of people even my friends, my colleagues and my boss never know that I can spoke, read and written in Chinese. Of coz I did write in my resume before, but they might forget about it. They only surprise about it after I’d worked with them almost 1 or 2 years. May b because of my look, doesn’t look like a Chinese and more look like a Bumiputra. 95% of people will speak malay or English with me when the 1st time they saw me and they never thought that I know Chinese. Of coz when they speak malay, I’ll reply them in my very fluent malay; when they speak English, I’ll reply them my broken English. Only if they speak mandarin, then I’ll reply them mandarin. If I’m the one who start the conversation, of coz I’ll speak Chinese with Chinese people but most of them will surprise.
I’m a Sino, Chinese mixed Dusun. I have 70% of Chinese blood and my sure name is Ng. I spoken very fluent mandarin with my family and relatives and we celebrate Chinese New Year, mooncake festival, Ko Chong Festival, Tang Yuan ect. Both of my grandfathers (father and mother side) are prior Chinese, both were came from China. Father side sure name is Ng; and my mother side sure name is Chai. My grandmother for father side is prior local Dusun; while my grandmother for my mum side is Sino too sure name is Kok. My dad, my mum even my grandma basically already are Sino. So I’m a Sino too when I came out to this world. Confuse? Ok you can forget it.
People always say, don’t judge a book by its cover. I’ve ever meet some people who gossiping me among them right in front of me in mandarin/Cantonese. Those people might think that I don’t understand. I don’t feel angry but I feel funny, I never scold those people back but just look straight into their eyes. They thought that they could laugh at me but actually I’m the one who laugh on them. So interesting..
I have one Chinese friend in kl before. He ever ask me:
“You are Sino, you are mix Chinese and the Bumi called Dusun. Let say one day, if Chinese people and Dusun people in Sabah have race war, which one will you support and go to?”
“You are Sino, you are mix Chinese and the Bumi called Dusun. Let say one day, if Chinese people and Dusun people in Sabah have race war, which one will you support and go to?”
Hahahaha.. I feel funny. I just answer him that this kind of things will never happen in Sabah coz we are so united and no racist. I just hope it can be everlasting. I love Sabah and I always say I’m a Sabahan when I introduced myself. Seldom for me to say that I’m a Sino coz it’s complicated for a non-Sabahan to understand it. & I’m flexible mixing with any races. I’m proud to b a Sino and I’m proud to be a Sabahan.
