I entered the lift with Bond. 2 other aunties came in together.
Conversation in Mandarin.
Me: Which level?
The 2 aunties were busy chattering away.
Auntie #1: 27
I hit the button 27.
Auntie #2 corrected Auntie #1 informing which level she lives.
So Auntie #1 helped to press the correct level and also presses her own level. She has forgotten to press her level.
Auntie #1 looked at Bond and asked: Born him here?
I was puzzled.
Me: Huh? Oh! Ya born here. We are local.
Auntie #2: Is it? How come your accent don’t sound local?
I couldn’t be bothered with her, and just ignored her. Her level has arrived and I gave her a forced grin while she exited with her grandson.
Bond and I did not even speak to each other the whole time in the lift, where did she hear my accent? Just by me asking “which level?”
WTF.
ps: I have been asked if I am local and I do not mind that. But when I give you an answer, and you refuse to believe me and even gets suspicious of me, I will turn nasty.
