the Mats(group of distinctive malay guys) just keep on entertaining me and an MRT ride is all you need to see them.
This is the useful guide to spot Mats, to become one, or finding a mat boyfriend

first and foremost, a Mat would search and wear the fashionable trucker caps, made famous by extreme sports labels. and they would hide things inside the cap before wearing it so that the cap looks tall on their heads. sometimes u can find the caps that they wear are crumpled as if they sat on it for 10 days.

THE SKINNY JEANS. inspired by topshop, the skinny jeans are a must for Mats, in their conquest to stand out from the crowd, they buy cheap extra skinny jeans from bugis village or peninsula. it also comes in variety of colours. you name it..

once you're a Mat, you have to shuffle. it is trend now for Mats to shuffle. what a cool dance move that originated from Australia has been remade and destroyed by Mats, but luckily this is more of a problem in Malaysia than in Singapore. sometimes if ure lucky u can see some of them trying to shuffle in the trains or streets. sorry for the picture quality, obviously this Mat took the pic from his typical 1.3 or 2 megapixel walkman phone.

becoming a Mat is like acquiring a new dream and 'skill' overnight, once you declare you're a Mat, you suddenly have the inspiration to learn n play the acoustic guitar, and you will decide to play it at the best location where sound travels very well, the void deck.

one warning to those wanting to become a Mat or wants to date a Mat, they have blocked or runny nose everyday, thats why they always sniff the vicks inhaler. you can get it at your friendly neighbourhood stores

lastly, a Mats best friend, a handphone. not just any handphone will do for them, they want the sony walkman phones that has loud stereo widening speakers to blast their raggaeton, trance, dance, hiphop songs to the public's pleasure. the phone must also have a memory card of at least 256mb to store all of their cool shuffle, lepak and chill videos.
