amazing discoveries

every once in a while we will hv a session with the QAs at the office where some of the recorded conversation will be played and u will rate urself accordingly based on the quality of the call. dan semasa QA session last week, aku telah mencapai suatu penemuan yg menakjubkan

i found out that i sounded so 'malay' when i speak in english. seriously, tanpa melihat wajah atau mendengar nama sekalipon, ppl can tell that i am malay frm that conversation. bukanla aku mau feeling2 cakap omputeh with the fake american accent like most perasan urban ppl atau conversing with a perfect english accent like the british council ppl. tapi xsangka aku kedengaran begitu melayu bila ckp omputeh

xtaula mungkin dari pronunciation or dr tonasi yg aku gunakan. tapi aku realize sesuatu yg lebih menarik di sebalik penemuan itu

aku kini berada dalam kategori yg sama dgn non english speakers yg bercakap inggeris. aku sama seperti frenches, italians dan latinas yg bercakap inggeris.

aku adalah exotic (bukan erotic).
