Alright, I might be exaggerating but, MAN, it's so embarassing when people ask me "Hey, you don't really have an accent" or "You do have a slight accent but I can't figure it out...where are you from?"
and I would go, "oh, I'm from Malaysia." and a groan resounds and this sentence is uttered "OHMYGOD this place is swarming with you Malaysians!"
Like I'm supposed to explain why this phenomenon is happening or something. Crap.
But guess what?
People either guess I'm a hongkie or a chinese (from mainland China) or a taiwanese (if they hear me speak hokkien/taiwanese).
Had a few guesses that I was from Korea or Japan. Seriously, Korea? lol..it happened like this:
I walked into a korean cyber cafe and this guy at the counter said hello in korean and started spouting korean while I looked at him with an expression that tried to convey that I UNDERSTAND NO SHIT EXCEPT YOUR HELLO. (annyeonghaseyo)
it was funny though when he realised it. hahaha
And it was weird when I accidentally bumped into someone on the street and he said sorry. Then looked at me a second time, and went 'sorry' in japanese. (Sumimasen) =__=" lol
Anyway, I was telling Andrew about me being mistaken for a chinese this time. Here's an excerpt of the conversation.
Andrew says:
