i am a singaporean

apparently, my boss seemed to think that i am a singaporean. maybe he remembered my mentioning singapore when he asked me where i'm from. as i recall, i said: malaysia... u know where vietnam is, right? *hand movement* then laos, then thailand, THEN malaysia, and singapore down below.

"oh," he said. i'm surprised he didn't confused me as being a vietnamese.

last night out of the blue he asked me if i'm a christian. i shook my head and said no. then he asked what the major religion is in singapore. "in singapore?" i repeated, scratching my head. "yeah, is it not christianity?" he asked.

i looked at him in bewilderment and said, "um, ...buddhism?"

"oh yeah! buddhism." he nodded vigorously.

then he asked me what sort of weather is it in singapore. at this point i raised my eyebrow and said, "uh... hot?" his eyes widened in amazement. "really??"

there could be winter weather in singapore for all i care. i'm not a singaporean. but i played along. "VERY hot, VERY humid," i said. "you don't wanna go there."

he grinned like an idiot. "seems definitely like a place i'd like to visit one day!"

haa, i laughed nervously. now i'm avoiding him just in case he's gonna asked for my family number in singapore...
