[Zhanglee]

Ah...well i guess i'm the only person that ppl know im Azn xD

[aqua_rhapsody]

Because I'm one of the top students in my Jap class, some of them assume I'm Jap. >.>`

Well... some of my friends said I looked Korean, does that count?


I guess that's all.  

[flowercard]

[Fawa]

[draven_heart]

People assume im chinese, which I am. What really surprised me, was this one time, some stupid guy thought I was an Aboriginal (Canada), he asked me if I ever went to a pow wow. I was very offended. After he found out I was Chinese, he went on to ask me if I used chopsticks...etc..etc...

hello.
i'm a s'porean chinese.
uh.. actually, i dun really know where u from (:
singapore has 4 races, malay, indian, chinese and eurasian.
so i think u mistook the chinese for a japanese?
(: i've never been mistaken before, unless i'm overseas, cos s'pore is basically "chinese knows you are malay and indian, indians know you are malay and chinese, and malay knows you are chinese and indians".

ok, that's rather lame but yeah.

I'd been mistaken for Janpanese, Cambodian, half Asian-half asian and even an adopted asian girl by a french parents! (Yeah because Ia lways hang out with caucasian and the university Im going is a French university in Quebec)

Oh cool xD I'm planning to go into a french program in highschool biggrin

That's a really good idea! French is actually my second language (after cantonese) and English is my third. Well, Qubec is a French province (called state in U.S.) so I have no choice to go to a French Elementary and high school.

Wow! So u speak it fluently than? That's neat ^^ My oral communication isn't too good (u last term =_= wink and then my reading and writing mark was in the high 90's. I know a friend who grew up in Montreal and learned Russian first..and then French..and then english ^^ Lol, she doesn't look russian because she's a mixed, half Russian and half French razz It's pretty cool...but I don't know how she got her brittish accent from whee ..or was it french? Lol
