A Hybrid Family

Daddy is a Malay from Terengganu and Mama is a Melanau from Sarawak.My family as most of Malaysian nowdays are Rojak.To be honest,actually i am a little bit confuse with my family.My family is like a mix of a bit of Melanau which sometimes seems very close to Chinese and also mostly of the Malay lifestyle.We have a round table in the kitchen(like most chinese house have kot),Mama sometimes use chopsticks to cook,I sometimes use chopstick to eat tapi usually i use hand la,I know a bit of Melanau(Mama is fluent in Melanau,a bit of Iban,a bit of Hokkien).The mix of the Melanaunese can be seen in my family which are surrounded by Malay society(not really)there are some mix marriage around Bangi(Malay+American,Malay+Chinese).My family is one of those mix marriage family in Bangi or i like to call a hybrid family(hybrid:electricity+gas).A thing or two about hybrid family:

  1. You will sometimes confuse people with your looks:I have this Melanau sort of Chinese looks with a bit of malay skin tone and also hidung daddy(like my mom said).Maybe some will assume me as Chinese or even Korean(mane dtg ntah:jiwa perasan) but as stated in my IC i am a Malay and also a Muslim.
  2. You will see some mixing of culture in everyday life:in my case,my family have Melanau culture mix with Malay Culture.Which sometimes is weird but special.Food cooked by Mama has a bit of the Chinese Style to it.
  3. This is the thing that i am worried about the most,Kahwin(topic ne lagi;atoi2) How am i going to talk to my parents about merisik,bertunang and all that stuff.My dad married my mom without any all of the stuff.It might be very awkward considering he never gone through those stuff before.Furthermore,My dad also seems not really intersted in talking about marriage,realtionship and all of the lovey dovey stuff.

A hybrid family is very intersting and special.The important thing in any family is the religion,the application of it in everyday life.This what makes a happy and strong relationship between families.

p/s:No matter who you are,what you are,There is always a way if you have the will
