Where are you from??

After such a long time since I last heard it, it appeared today again.

"So....where are you from? Settling in Singapore?

"Eh.....I'm Singaporean.....its only natural I settle here yes?"

"Oh! I thought you're a foreigner!"





Broken record.

I've came across such questions and I always reply politely. But frankly, after a while it gets tiring. How does a "Singaporean" look like??

Its bad enough I have to answer these, sometimes, I get even more stupid questions.

Like:After I certify that I am a Singaporean, they ask"So....are you a mix?"





A mix?? What am I? Papaya & banana? Apple & orange? (Though I wont be surprised if I'm really a mixture of milk and chocolate)


What is it about me which doesnt seem Singaporean.......................................................


I dont know.

P.S. A groupmate told me today that she's registering her marriage in dec, got proposed to on Eiffel Tower on a surprise trip to France & getting married in a basilica in Poland. What do I lack?
