. You have Tupperware in your fridge with three bites of rice or one leftover chickn wing
. You don't own any real Tupperware--only a cupboard full of used but carefully rinsed margarine tubs, takeout containers, and jam jars

. When toilet paper is on sale, you buy 100 rolls and store them
. You have a collection of miniature shampoo/conditioner bottles, little soap bars, and bathmats that you take every time you stay in a hotel
. The condiments in your fridge are either Price Club sized or come in plastic packets, which you "save" every time you get take out or go to McDonald's

The dish-washing thing's very true tho. Bet most of our parents, uncles, aunties, (and up), would flip when they see how them ang mohs do their dirty dishes. Took me sometime to get used to it.
