Something's happening to me: I'm becoming cheena! 2 people commented that I'm more cheena than potato today and honestly I don't know if that's good or bad. Over the past few years I hear stuff like 'wa, you very kan tang leh', and I'll go 'nope, just that whatever language I know or speak I'll wanna do it the right way.' Then I'll go on rambling some Chinese in a bid to prove myself.
Interesting then that the opposite happened today so now I'm trying to figure out what caused it. NTU! Hah. After sitting resolutely on the fence between cheena pok and potato for as long as my memory serves me I've found myself leaning towards the Eastern camp. For those who didn't know, in my 12 years of education prior to university and then 2 years in NS I've been in a predominantly Chinese environment. The culture is that way, and most of my friends converse in Mandarin. Plus 22 years of Mandarin speaking at home as well. Never thinking that any amount of excessively cheena or kan tang surroundings will change my position as a perfect bisector, I was wrong. NTU did. The force is really strong with this one. I want to be neither cheena nor potato.
Ok, forced to choose I'll probably have to go with being kan tang cos you know, potatoes are yummy and so am I. HAHAHAHA!!!
