Typical Ah Lians !

Typical Ah Lians ? People call it the lalas. Where you can find them? Well I think ONLY in Malaysia. And you may wonder what is the definition of Ah Lians. Basically, Ah Lians are ppl who have no fashion sense and still go into the streets thinking that they look perfectly beautiful and charming dressing up in an over-accessorized, over-colourful, 'kawaii' manner.

Now let us proceed on to identifying them. The physical characteristics of an Ah Lian varies greatly. In layman's terms, got some pretty and some not-so lah! Ah Lians typically have long rebounded straight hair. Some hair is like kena BOOM. In their poses in pictures, It's true that they can't take pictures after you chop off their fingers.
They seriously think that they look cute when they strike a pose with the 'peace' sign or when they press their index finger against their cheek? Surely their lips must look somehow like a pig. Also, their pictures are ALWAYS taken at a 45 degree angle. GAWD ! and they wear leg warmers in MALAYSIA ! Their favourite haunts include Sungei Wang Plaza, and now Times Square. They tend to frequent boutiques that sell cute outfits. And their English is like WTF. They speak a loose mix of mandarin, hokkien, cantonese and broken english.



Not only that! Ah Lians are also prominent on social networking websites, namely Friendster. Not yet happened in Facebook and I hope they wont spoil it like they did in Friendster. You can identify them by their screen names, which tend to be super-cute. Some people consider these plain annoying or stupid. But I myself consider them unique in a Malaysian way :)

Eg. MILKster PINKy baobei Pinkalicious missiprincess kawaii dolli CoCo LaLa xiaokeaiix. Note that they tend to name their pets similarly. DAMN.

In their Friendster profiles, (above) they include strange details about themselves, namely their height, weight and pet names. They also tend to add friends indiscriminately, necessitating the creation of several accounts. The more friends they have, the more secure they feel. They have a distinct vocabulary, with liberal use of "wOr" "nEhz" 'kEkEx' "mAhz" and usually TyPE LiKe tHis as they regard this as cute. Ah Lians are notable camwhores, and together with socialites account for more than half of all camwhores in Friendster. They try their best to make their profile photos as cute as possible. Some edit their photos with Microsoft Paint and the more demure ones tend to use Jay Chou, Lee Hom or some other celebrity as their profile picture. Lastly,
