I was just taking Adam for an afternoon stroll around the pool downstairs. As well as meeting his usual friends, we saw a middle-aged woman with his (I think) grandson.
Me: “So cute. What’s his name?”
Woman: “******. Are you Indonesian or Filipino?”
Me: “Indonesian.”
Woman: “But you can speak English, ah?”
Me: (Quickly before she thought I were Adam’s nanny) “I can, my husband is European.”
Woman: “Oooh!” (looking confused)
Woman: “So the baby is Chinese, rite?”
Me: “*$@^&^$#+_>X”:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”




That auntie must be a ‘blur’ type. LOL Already told, ask some more. Still guessed wrong. mia ha ha ha.

Perhaps couldn’t accept the fact that there are educated Indonesians and living in S’pore not as maids. Either that or she herself couldn’t understand your English. Perhaps should speak Singlish then she’d understand. Say, “I married to a gweilo or ang moh”

Next time dress to kill when going out with Adam! Hahahaaaaa
Just joking. Even students in my class sometime can be soo iritating by asking me that question…though in a much fashionable way. Hey…the meaning is still the same kaaan. Dooooh…

@ Syari: Maybe I should’ve asked her, “But you cannot speak English, ah? You dunno European?”
@ Mbak Dyah: I’m too lazy to make the effort, starting to get used to such treatment lol.

Where to stay?
The shopping is great and all but the hotels are exorbitant! Don’t Fret because I found a perfect alternative right smack in the middle of Orchard Road.
