So I took this from Yue's tab. was going to do it yesterday. But is lazy. XDD

You Know You're Chinese When...

You have a vinyl table cloth on your kitchen table.
What kitchen table?

Your stove is covered with aluminum foil.

Even if you're totally full, if someone says they're going to throw away the leftovers on the table, you'll finish them.
NOT MEEEee.. but my mum.. but then again, no one will throw away the leftoverss. Go into tupperwares

You don't own any real Tupperware -- only a cupboard full of used but carefully rinsed margarine tubs, takeout containers, and jam jars.
