6. You think spending more than B40 at a street stall is way too expensive.

9. You stop questioning why the nickname "Apple" is spelled as "Ple" and pronounced as "Pun".

11. You use napkins to wipe your plate and utensils at every restaurant you go to without realising it.

14. You make sure to take numerous packs of instant noodles with you anytime you travel abroad.
15. You know a fried egg should be placed on top of every dish.
