It's easy to introduce my name as it's a common name in States, but not my origin country.
"Are you from China?" People just keep mistaken me from China. It's not totally wrong thou. Yes, i flew from Beijing to the States. And my ancestors are from China too.
"No, I'm from M-a-l-a-y-s-i-a." Soon after my answer, i often get the eye brow lifting and eyes rolling to the right *thinking hard* facial expression.
"Ok, it a country above Singapore, below Thai"
"Oooooooo......ok~" I think you don't get it. Anyways.
It's hard to go around explaining where i'm from. But i am still making lotsa coolest friends in the world.
And often, for those who are familiar with MALAYSIA, they are curious that we speak fluent English. Some thought Asian speaks Korean only. Weird hmm. Today, a group of Jamaican colleagues stare at my friend when we mingle. Curiously she ask them why do they do that. "We likes to see you guys talking. You speak fluent English!" * felt so proud*
Well, next time when you are aboard and people stare at you when you speaks, i suppose they are just amazed at your fluency in English.
Sign off to paralyzed. *zzzzzzzzzz*
XOXO
