Just to make a disclaimer, I don't hate chi--na students. I really don't.
But it does seems like what I really really really look like an ah tiong. Everyone says so. But yet I refuse to believe it. Living in denial? Well, not anymore after recent events. Week 4 of school is when everyone is supposed to have finished forming their project groups for whatever course that they are taking, and then the leftovers are then desperately looking around for groups to join. To cut the long story short, basically the foreign students got the raw end of the deal simply ‘cause the locals will stick to themselves, and the foreign students gather together most of the time. What happens when you have a few extra foreign students? Well, it means that by week 4 they are pretty desperate for a group. What amazes me is that out of so many people in the entire frigging class, they would often approach me.
Case in point, Finance class. Distance from door to seat, 6 metres. Get stopped to asked if I have a group already………. TWICE. How do one get asked the same question within walking distance of 6 metres. Damnit, I really look chi-naified. There was once even more power packed. A random girl just came up to me in the middle of kopitiam and asked if I am looking for members for MPW group. Trying to be as nice as possible, I kindly rejected her. Not that I have a bais against foreign students. In fact, I am able to work well with a couple of them last time. However….. it just so happens that I am not looking for group members for MPW. What the hell, I am not even taking MPW class this sem! I believe she mistook me for one of her classmates.
Leaves me wondering if there is a Bx-lookalike ah tiong lurking around in school.
