Guide to being a minah (Friday, May 22, 2009 / 6:21 AM)
I will try my very best to be as Singaporean as possible, and not any ordinary Singapore but a Minah one. Even thou, I still admit I wasn't one of them. If I was, I wouldn't have what I have today.
Anyways, here goes some hilarious tips which I put it in together.
To be a Minah, first you got to know your clan. By knowing your clan, you will know who are your clans' friends. When there's a "war" to break thru, you will know who to call and who not to call.
2. You need to have a closet full of black outfits. Especially leggings, don't matter if your thighs are too big from your hips. That's what they said, the more curves the better.
3. You will only shop in This Fashion for the cheapest clothing wear. And your most expensive shop is Chaos. You can shop in Bebe maybe once in a year when you get yourself a part-time job
4. You can never keep your job for more than 2 months at least. You will have to job hop cause you either; fight at work or you got sick of the job thinking there are not paying you enough.
5. When you go clubbing, you are wearing the shortest mini ever. And sometimes, you wear your tube as a skirt cause you can't find anything shorter. You only club at Boat Quay or Mohd sultan cause there's the only place where drinks are cheap. Especially Double O.
6. Your appearance are standard; dyed blonde hair. Sometimes you can strip it. With piercing on your nose, in-between of your nostrils, eyebrows, tongue. plenty around your ears and maybe if you have more cash, your belly buttons.
7. When you talk, you use a term which is commonly known nowadays as MINAH LINGO.
Such as, "Lu gi mana, Gua tunggu lu macam buah tak jatuh" but if you're talking to your boyfriend, "I nak ikut you pergi clubbing nanti malam boleh, lepas tu kite pergi pangkeng"
8. Pangkeng a.k.a HOTEL in Minah lingo are commonly used when they are going to have sex with their boyfriend. The most cheapest motel you could find around Geylang are yours. But if you have a little money, Chinatown area are your area.
9. When you come back home a little late and your parents are nagging. You either ignored them or pack your stuff and start moving yourself to your friends' house. When you run out of houses, you find yourself a boyfriend and lives with him in a one bedroom or "L" house with his old parents.
FINALLLLYYYY
10. If you got pregnant, you keep the baby. And pat yourself at the back for being a good MINAH and not ashamed of your belly when people look how young you are. Walking around orchard road with your clans and start pushing the prams with your black outfit.
