We have someone from back home here! Here in Bermuda! Well, it was premeditated, that is, the man is here for an interview with hao-e's company, and hao-e was the one who found him in the first place. but, it's exciting! just the thought of a "tong xiang"! in Bermuda! Beginning to understand the sentiments of the early immigrants from China who travelled to Singapore. haha...
It's amazing how you suddenly feel this nationalistic pride and comraderie with fellow singaporeans when you're overseas. or how you miss the simplest chwee kuey or tau huay chwee from the hawker centre only when there are no hawker centres around you? or how you'll defend against the negative comments about your country you hear from others whilst overseas, but you'll criticise everything when you're living in it? yeah... you know what i'm talking about.
i hope he does well for the interview. cos there will be one more person speaking the same accent on the island, adding to the 5 already here, me inclusive. that's half a dozen or 20% increase in numbers. haha.
