I came
back to Singapore late afternoon of last Saturday.
I felt so
cold at first on the return SQ flight as SIA is notoriously known and then
started so hot. My flying experience is always bad.
In Tokyo,
I went through fabulous and also ridiculous moments. I really enjoyed working
with people from Santa Ana. I appreciate their appreciation they expressed for
my work. But the Singapore team was a completely different story. To begin
with, I hate hearing their discordant accent and rule-breaking way of speaking.
Miss Chilli
Padi was very loud and going supersonic, banging on my head with her voice.
Despite my begging to provide me background information and go to slower, she
still seemed to believe that she only had to sit me in the room and everything
would be fine. It was just like the meeting they had last October. Then, at the
beginning of the meeting, she told me to give me time to translate. She never
did. Once she started, she was talking nonstop. This time, on the last day in
particular, she went super supersonic and ended the day quickly after lunch,
allowing her and her colleagues to have time for yet another chance of shopping
in Tokyo. The voice of Miss Actress was metallic, especially when she says “be”
of “because,” and piercing into my brain. Both of them have only sloppy
knowledge of English grammar.
I really
wonder if they ever look at their way of speaking and realize they should show
more respect to the language. It’s unbelievably funny to know that some people
here are even proud of their style English, which does not sound and work as it
should to be accepted internationally.
