How would you feel if no one said you look like a Singaporean when you are really one?
Me? I am feeling really confused and lost now.
4 years ago, a man from Germany (if i remember correctly) came to my school to teach us about abstract art. He brought out some pictures of Suntec City and asked who have never been there before. A few of use raised our hands. He looked around and came staring at me (yes, i was one of them who raised the hands)
"are you Japanese?" he asked.
"WHAT?" was my reaction.
Last year, I made some new china friends who came to my school.
"You are not Singaporean are you?"
me: -.-
This year...
Jenny: Prolly Japanese, you don't look chinese
Jiayan: you look like those from Philippines
SinYan and ZhiJiun: Malaysian
Madelyn: Singaporean... NO, Japanese is more like it =D (me:-.-)
Yesterday, I went out with my neighbors to the Lee Hwa Jewelery shop at northpoint.
there was this china guy who couldn't speak english well and tried to translate what he said to my neighbor's friend (which was in chinese) to english for me. when i said i understand chinese, the guy went: oh! i thought you dun understand chinese. so sorry...
Tell me I look like a chinese and no doubt a singaporean... Please!
