Okay, so maybe being 5'6" for an Asian male isn't too bad. Asians are not typically tall or big bodied. And sometimes, that's a good thing, like being small enough to navigate the Cu Chi Tunnels in Vietnam.

But, of course, there are always exceptions, some kind of fluke of nature. The lucky bastards get to be 6' or just slightly below that. Not that I'm bitter at tall Asians. It's just... unfair wei!

There are many reasons why I'm so envious of my fellow tall brothers, one of which is the difficulty of finding clothes for short men. And this is where being 5'6" becomes really bad.

Why they don't make clothes for short people ah? They think everybody is 5'8" and above is it? Why, wei, why?

Buying a pair of jeans can be such a nightmare.

Which brings me to my dream. A really nice dream. Too bad it was ONLY a dream.

In that dream, I found myself in a shopping mall, in a clothes store. And I found the perfect pair of jeans, just right for my height and size. The assistants led me to the dressing room, which later turned into a dark fortress that people began fleeing from...

Uh, I'll just stop there. That was the only good part of the dream anyway, before the whole bizarre fortress-slash-construction site, I'm-a-naked-thief-armed-with-a-telephone-wire scenario...

If that's not enough, it's just so convenient for taller dudes to make me their freakin' armrest.

It's not fair...
