wow, sounds interesting,

let me answer all the stuff and see what applies to me, so far I dont' see anything that applies๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

* Your house smells like fried onions. [/quote]

Does not

[quote=cutefairy]* When you tell your parents you got 98% marks in an exam, and they ask you what happened to the other two percent.[/quote]

hmmm, I hardly tell what I got, even if I get 98%

[quote=cutefairy]* You make tea in a saucepan.[/quote]

hmm sometimes yeah๐Ÿ˜†

[quote=cutefairy]* You never buy bin bags, but use your saved grocery bags for it.[/quote]

We do buy bin bags obviously, how can your grocery bag big enough to carry all the garbadge๐Ÿ˜•I don't think it applies to anyone

[quote=cutefairy]* You put your clothes in suitcases instead of wardrobes.[/quote]

false my wardrobs are full- you only put cloths in suit case if you are going somewhere - and the bed sheets or other stuff are in the bag or baskets๐Ÿ˜ณ

[quote=cutefairy]* You have a 'Singer' sewing machine at home.[/quote]

I don't think we even have a sewing machine๐Ÿ˜•

[quote=cutefairy]* Your mother has a minor disagreement with her sister and doesn't talk to her for ten years.[/quote]

I don't like my mom's sisters but my mom loves them๐Ÿ˜† so does not apply

[quote=cutefairy]* You call an older person you've never met before "uncle".[/quote]

nahh I don't,,, but I've most of the people do that even, the kids come to my home and call me baaji eeee I get irritated, I tell them I'm not your sister๐Ÿ˜†

[quote=cutefairy]* You hide everything from your parents.[/quote]

no I don't, I don't hide anything, I just don't tell everything, because why do they have to know??? not for hiding anything๐Ÿ˜‰

[quote=cutefairy]* Your mother does everything for you if you are male.[/quote]

she mostly does, but I'm not a male๐Ÿ˜† so in a way it applies

[quote=cutefairy]* Your relatives alone could populate a small city.[/quote]

hmm, I don't have much relatives, or they are in england and Pakistan

[quote=cutefairy]* Everyone is a family friend.[/quote]

nope doesn't apply either

[quote=cutefairy]* You were not that intelligent so you studied computer science or Business instead.[/quote]

naahh does not apply

[quote=cutefairy]* You know no one who has studied music.[/quote]

I have studied๐Ÿ˜‰

[quote=cutefairy]* You went to a university as far away from home as possible.[/quote]

nope I tried as close as my home, so it is๐Ÿ˜ณ

[quote=cutefairy]* You still came back home to live with your parents after you had finished.[/quote]

haven't finished yet - but that might apply

[quote=cutefairy]* You like the meat well done.[/quote]

I do๐Ÿ˜† finaly something applies - but all my white friends lie it that way too๐Ÿ˜ณ whenever we go to a resturant

[quote=cutefairy]* You eat onions with everything.[/quote]

not with icecream, can't say, most of the meals have onion, I don't think Lasagna has it๐Ÿ˜•

[quote=cutefairy]* You use chilli sauce instead of tomato ketchup.[/quote]

I don't like chili sauce that much, only with chinese food๐Ÿ˜ณ

[quote=cutefairy]* You fight over who pays the dinner bill.[/quote]

nope, doesn't apply

[quote=cutefairy]* You say you hate Indian films(/songs) but secretly watch(/hear) them with your parents[/quote]

I don't say I hate indian films or songs, and there is no secret I watch 'em I say it, but that doesn't mean I don't watch Pakistani songs or shows or movies๐Ÿ˜ณ

[quote=cutefairy]* You order Pakistani food in English language to impress the people you're with but the waiters don't understand you.[/quote]

doesn't apply - you order the food by it's name written in the manu don't you, well, I don't get to go to pakistani resturants that much, because of stupid pakistani boys - who stare at you all the time๐Ÿ˜ก

[quote=cutefairy]* You avoid public places when with a member of the opposite sex.[/quote]

do not why so, didn't get this one either๐Ÿ˜•

[quote=cutefairy]* You secure your baggage with a rope.[/quote]

๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† are you kidding?? who does that "you"???

[quote=cutefairy]* You get very upset when airlines refuse to accept your luggage which is just 80 lbs. overweight.[/quote]

naahh I always try to keep it under weight because I have seen people fighting๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

[quote=cutefairy]* You go back to your parents' country and people treat you like a member of the royal family.[/quote]

hmm, it's been a long time since I went to Pakistan, but it applies๐Ÿ˜ณ

[quote=cutefairy]* You ask your dad a simple question and he tells you story of how he had to walk miles just to get to school.[/quote]

naah, I hardly ask, but I haven't heard such story from my dad ever

[quote=cutegirl]* You are ALWAYS taking off and putting on your shoes wherever you go.[/quote]

๐Ÿ˜• don't get it, you always have to wear shoes when you go out and always have to change shoes when you get home

[quote=cutefairy]* In addition to cooking, you also use oil as a grooming aid.[/quote]

hmm, doesn't apply

[quote=cutefairy]* You have annoying nicknames.[/quote]

nahh

[quote=cutefairy]* Your parents call all your friends "Beta". (beta=son, beti=daughter)[/quote]

naah, sadly my friends don't understand the language๐Ÿ˜•that's why I love IF๐Ÿ˜ณ

[quote=cutefairy]* Your mother measures wealth only in gold and diamonds.[/quote]

naah I don't think so, doesn't apply

[quote=cutefairy]* Your parents push the concept of an arranged marriage on you and try to demonstrate how well it works whenever they're not fighting.[/quote]

well my parents had a love marriage so again doesn't apply

[quote=cutefairy]* Your parents compare you to all of their friends' kids.[/quote]

nope, I don't know any of my mom dad's friends kids, I've not met anyone, I don't stay at home, if my parents friends come home, because they have habbit of knocking at my rooms door and saying ohh you are here and you haven't come to say "Salaam" to us, it's irritating๐Ÿ˜ก

[quote=cutefairy]* If you are living abroad, at least once a week your mom says, "I want to go back to Pakistan".[/quote]

My mom says, she doesn't want to go to Pakistan, I say why not we visit but she says, lets plan for somewhere else in this vacations๐Ÿ˜†

[quote=cutefairy]* No one ever seems to call ahead of time to say they are coming over for a visit.[/quote]

well, I'm always informed by my parents that their friends are coming over, so if you want to stay or want to go with your friends because they know I don't like their friends๐Ÿ˜†

[quote=cutefairy]* Your parents worry what other people will think if you're not going to be a DOCTOR or ENGINEER.[/quote]

๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† don't know

[quote=cutefairy]* While living abroad, your parents always say, "It's cheaper in Pakistan."[/quote]

what's cheaper in Pakistan๐Ÿ˜• didn't get this part

well, it was lovely but that doesn't prove anything because I love Pakistan... and I don't think this survey proves me not a pakistani...

because I love Pakistan and I always tell proudly I'm from Pakistan, althoug I've been here my whole life๐Ÿ˜‰
