To be honest what heritage? I'm not ashamed of my skin colour
and I'm proud of being me.
I'm definately not from a typical Chinese family. We don't have
any Chinese practices except for Chinese New Year. Believe it or
not but we never had anything during 7th month, Qing Ming and what
not. In fact MPB knows more Chinese customs than I do !!!!
(This is the most paiseh thing I have to admit)
I used to have an irritating CHIJ accent :P I was not from CHIJ
but I mixed around with too many Ah Sia Kia when I was young.
People used to think I'm really arrogant in the past because of how
I speak till they got to know me.
Ever since I started working, my standard of English have
dropped from I think 'O' Level A1 to maybe now it's a B3 standard
-_-"
I speak more in Mandarin and Hokkien. My Hokkien
standard have gone up from an F9 to maybe a C5 now
:P
I switch naturally to an American Accent if I want to but that
is only due to all the movies I watch and the people I talk to (I
used to game lots with Americans).
The problem with me is that I switch accents with different
people. I can speak in a Malaysian accent too with the Malaysians
^^
And I do it not because I'm ashamed of being Asian, (If anything
it's hot to be an Asian these days) but because I think they feel
more connected with me if I speak in an accent they are comfortable
with. (It has done miracles for me in work)
