i went into kfc once and roe asked me what i wanted. so i said. i want a 2-piece meal. but i want it in crispy.
and he was like huh? you want to change it to crispy strips?? (these REALLEH small strips of chicken) and i was like NO?? so small! why wwould i wanna do that? and he gave me a nod that he agreed with WHY WOULD I WANNA DO THAT. and so i went on, i want crispy!
and he was like WHATT~~~~.
and then i looked at the cashier, completely oblivious to the fact that nobody knew what i was talking about, and said, " i want it crispy."
and he started repeating everything roe has said.
and i looked at roe and said, you know. "ORIGINAL, CRISPY?"
"i want crispy!"
and i finally looked up only to realise that he was srsly giving me a blank look!
me: " oh... they dont have such thing here?!"
roe: " WHAT!? where do you think you are?!"
what the bongs man!i never felt so embarassed! and so shocked! like nobody knew what i was talking about! like a country bumbkin yet so retardedly, i came from the future! that kinda thing!
KFC IN MELB ONLY HAS ORIGINAL CHICKEN? really shocked my ass out man. i was stunned beyond words!
this might be one of the reasons why i kinda feel like i dont know how to speak english again when i come back to sg! half the time im correcting myself in my head that i really dont know how its meant to be pronounced. like when im in aussie, i have to delete everything singlish from my dictionary, because though we know perfect english, we hardly ever have any use for it in sg. common. we are not suckers, like angmohs always gasp when we put a sentence grammatically correct together. srsly. anyhows. but the pronunciation really gives me one heck of an exercise! because alot of things lazy to pronounce in aus, i have to WORK MY JAW to make it lazy to pronounce, and alot of things broken english to singaporeans, i have rethink and tell myself this is how we do it! in aust too. sometimes i feel so judged and scrutinize like the aussies will squint really hard when im talking like its so damn hard to understand! that sometimes i really ar, just forget how to speak angmoh man. srsly. its not just a self esteem issue or whatever -.- racism is really big in australia kae. just try to live there for 6 monts and u'd understand when we mean LOOK DOWN, asians are really - aliens there. when i was in schools doing my placement, some asian kids even laugh at mock asians as a being. like they were so ashamed of their roots that they would deny it. ive never seen anything quite like that before!
but that got me thinking, after 2 or 3 weeks surrounded by asians in a fully asian civilisation. what's wrong with asians man. we're fast we're efficient. we're noisy. we drive speedy ahbeng chiongster cars. we eat cheap food. we have mothers with a TINGE of auntiness in them. we are kiasu kiasi and sometimes kiampa to the core. when my friends have unhappy haircuts, they say their hair is CUI. when anything makes ppl angry they curse in the standart few words, that dont start with F at all. all the beis. ahahah. its damn funny when you look at it this way. we are a happy society! in essence we're all alike each other. everything we do, everything we say, we dress, talk, and walk the same. nice wad.
lassie says she got " high" ego. hurhurhur. funny what. we are bilingual yet, we never quite bother to know the mistakes we make in out languages. and just yesterday, i just found out what
發生关系. really is! hahhahaha. RIGHT>>>>
anyway! my conclusion is, that who cares who thinks who's superior right? srsly. i love it that im from sgp. so i will try to get my singlish back in shape? i dunno. i cant talk at the speed of a bullettrain anymore. and sometimes when my cg gets excited and talks really fast. i really have no idea what they're saying!
ZZZ.
too fast in sg. too slow in melby. relax jack! im leaving on a jet plane! wished i bought my holga before! or a diana! sian!
