Okay. Now for a random muse. When i was in Columbia Int. College (which was FULL of national Chinese students, by the way), all of them thought that i was this super "Angmoh Pai" person. And they would all complain about how lucky the Singaporeans are to have English as a first language, because TOEFL is just killing them, and for all their superior intellect they find it hard to get into university. They almost faint when they hear my TOEFL score (which to me is not that good so i shall not say heh heh. i guess it's not bad, but i did expect better. oho! but i shall announce MiniBean's TOEFL score though. It's wicked! Miss Beansie got a fantabulous, shining, glorious 290/300. Dont look down on my Bean man! She's small but mighty. Heh.) They also dont believe that i can speak Mandarin. I always gasp indignantly and inform them that i have learnt the language for 10 years. But of course, in comparison to their standard of guo yu, i sound like a blabbering idiot, so i might as well tell them i cant speak it. (They always laugh when i try, so...) I shall stick to Speak Good English then.

But when i'm in Mac, people always assume i'm an ESL (English as Second Language), and they always exclaim when i tell them i'm from Singapore,"Oh! But you speak excellent English!" Yes, i know, dummy! Thats because English is our first language in my Singapura-the-little-sunny-island-in-the-sea!!! Bloody annoying, these stereotyping, ignorant Angmohs. There was this one time i was in the common room on my floor watching Seinfeld (some sitcom). This guy asked me,"Do they show Seinfeld in Singapore?" When i told him yes i think so, he happily asked me,"Oh. Do they translate it to Singaporean then?"

Oh, these ignorant people. And they say North America is great. Tssk. North America is annoying.
