Making friends

A few days ago I was in the wet market when I noticed a woman following me around for a while and trying her best to catch my eyes. At last, she spoke "You are Chinese ah?" . "Yes", I said. "Aiya..do you notice we are the only 2 Chinese in the market? This area full of Malays". She said. I gave her a weak smile. Then she gave me a business card. "We must make friends...lah...come to my house in Section 7...I am new in this area...I just shifted in ...this area full of Malays only lah...", she said.

I must have dropped her business card by accident. I don't need it anyway because making friends based on the colour of the skin alone is not my favourite pastime.
