YA BA DA BA DOO AMIRAH TO THE RESCUE!!

Mr Ho said I looked a little bit like chinese.
REALLY??! I asked Gracia and Jordan and they said that I don't. Even Gracia's mom thinks I'm one! I was in her car once and her mom was sending me to Junction 8 and after I left the car, Gracia had this conversation with her mom;
(ADAPTED FROM GRACIA GOH)
Gracia's mom: What is your friend's name again?
Gracia: Amirah.
Gracia's mom: HUH? I thought she's chinese!

SEE WHAT I MEAN? And there other times that the public mistook me as a chinese.

Example Number 1
It was last year during the school holidays and Nicole and I were walking past the basketball court in school. There was some church camp going on in the school that time and there were three girls-from the church camp-walking in front of us. One of the girls turned back and asked me If I had a lighter (LIKE, WHY THE HECK WOULD I HAVE A LIGHTER WITH ME?), IN CHINESE!!!!
I was like, "what?!" and luckily Nicole was there and told the girl that I was malay. The girl went all, "Oh sorry, sorry!" and Nicole and I were thinking, "Do we look like we have lighters with us?". HEH.

Example Number 2
I was at the bus stop waiting for 238 to get to Shalin's NZ gathering. Yes, this happened around last year. There was this old lady who was speaking to me but I didn't realize because I had my earphones on. But I SOMEHOW, sensed that she was talking to me. I looked at her and she was blabbering something in chinese to me. I politely told her that I was malay not chinese. Again, she went all "sorry, sorry" and she said something about the time eventhough I seriously can't understand what she was trying to say to me.
And again, I tried to tell her the time poiltely but I don't think she understood. So, never mind. After awhile, the bus came and she tapped me on the shoulder, telling me that the bus is here. I just nodded and smiled her.

Okay, I can't really think about any other incidents but I know there were manymanymany times that people mistook me as a chinese. Ah, well..

Council Investiture and Camp were awesome! Shall post about it next time.
I prom-mise. :D
