This Girl is on Fire

So my anger has subsided since my previous post…

I’m starting to wonder if it’s all part of the bloody cycle.
But nah, I shall dismiss that thought because I don’t ever want to use my uterus as an excuse for my sporadic behavior. Well, but my view with regards to the whole issue remains.

So anyway, I have decided to compile some of the things that the people I have met here have said to me or asked me. Both directly and indirectly. I hope it brings a smile to your face as it did to mine. Happy TGIF!

1. The Classic
“Oh you’re from Singapore! That’s nice. You guys speak English over there? I never knew! Which part of China is that from?”

2. The Unknown Equator
“How can you guys possibly have summer all year round?”

3. The Raised Eyebrow Coffee-shop Talk
“Yeah, I heard of Singapore a'right! I heard they’re really rich with all the sky-scrappers and their citizens have lots of money.” winks
(cue: run and hug your money belt tighter)

4. The Restricted Nation
“Is Singapore a Muslim state?”
(Well, just because we used to be a part of Malaysia….. No, we have many religions)

5. The Lost One
“Yes I know where Singapore is! I have heard a lot about the country. So what city are you from?”

6. Landed
“Belgium’s really small… I bet you are used to the bigger land area back at home.”

7. The Chinese ‘tong-zhi-men’
“啊你从哪儿来？是中国人吧!”
(Sorry to break it to you sista, but just because my eyes are slit like yours and I have a black mane, I am not from China)

DERP

That’s all I can recall for now. Have a great weekend one and all!
