ABC or SPG?

there was a woman with me at the occupational therapy department on monday. she was reading "memoirs of a geisha" or one of those geisha books during fluidotherapy. just when i was convinced that she is an SPG, i heard her speak with this super american accent, and after a while , i felt just a little ashamed of myself for thinking that every thin Asian girl wearing certain clothes with the hair to match it is most likely an SPG.

the thing that gave her away was when she said "bukit goRmbaRk" and then starting a sentence with "last time". (or maybe she is really an ABC who is just trying to get into the local culture and language.)

i guess some of us contribute to "Remaking Singapore" by making ourselves as un-Singaporean as possible.
