My identity and voice.

Before someone starts to know me, it is almost 99.999% that he/she would thought that I am a foreigner.

My barber thought that I'm a Japanese, some friends thought I am a Korean, or I'm a Chinese.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I do recall, that Dave, mentioned something about the way I speak english.

He commented," It sounds weird for you to talk in english with me."

What he meant was that I seldom communicate with him in english, and he feel that I speak like a foreigner.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had other memories in my primary school at Parry. I was always together with a group of friends, one from India-- Sumit Malik, one from indonesia-- Handoko, two from Thailand, Surasak, and Kitisak (brothers). Yes, all foreigners.

In my primary school, I joined the speech and drama club, my friend Alvin, gave his comment after a speech recording session, saying that I speak like a Japanese reporter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And recently, in a lab of mine, the tutor commented to me," You have the ascent of a Malaysian."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh! There was one more time during my JC days, when I was the President of the AV club. I was to gather my AV members after school, hence I made an announcement via the P.A system.

"Sorry for the interruption. All AVA members please gather at the office at 4pm. Attendance is compulsory. Thank you."

I think that's the line I spoke in the announcement, and as soon as I have finished speaking, my Principal came, and asked, " Who made the announcement just now?"
I replied, " It was me."
"Oh! Nice voice you have. " she commented and walked back into the office. O_o

Then when all my members gathered, they asked who made the announcement too, they said it don't seem to be from my voice! O_O;

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Erhmm, well, all these comments might mean two ways, good or bad to me.

And I don't think most people are being sacarstic to the way I speak. ^_^

mystery of my voice, unsolved.
