A Singaporean Friend

Kenny, is a Singaporean who came to Penang for his 1-month industrial training. He is training in the same company as Zhi Ling in Polytool and came along with us last night to Farlim night market.

I always feel proud when people give awesome comments about Penang. As usual, I asked him how he felt about Penang in his 1 month stay here. His answers were:

"The food is really nice."
"And the people are friendly."

Well, food of course I will definitely say they are delicious. But I am really glad he felt that Penangites are friendly =) Then am I friendly as well?? Haha.

Anyway he made a statement which made this 1st meeting and probably the last one an unforgettable one.

After Zhi Ling fetched me and Shyuan we chatted non-stop on the car. I would say I totally had no image in front of this new friend haha. Anyway when we reached and got down the car, he whispered to Zhi Ling about something which made Zhi Ling laughed like hell.

Zhi Ling was so excited and went on like:


ZL: "Sherril, Sherril, I want to tell you something about what Kenny said just now."

S: "What did he say? Must be something about me lo."

ZL: "He said he was shocked to see you SO SHORT."

S: "........."

S: "Haven't you seen people like me in this height??"

(I can't hear properly what he said except this sentence)
K: "我吓到。在车里我还以为你蛮高的。"
[trans: I was shocked. I thought you are tall when you're in the car]

S: "......."
S: "没看过这样矮的人meh?新加坡没有这样高度的女生meh?"
[trans: Haven't you seen such short person? Singapore does not have this kind of girls meh?]

(I think this was his answer)
K: "Nope, I haven't seen before."

S: "............" (laughing hard)


Then I quickly told him that my height is at least over 150cm and I am surely NOT the shortest in uni. Haha nothing to be proud of but nothing to be ashamed of too. I find his reactions and comments very funny because normally people's comments about me are "You are short."

But his was like "How come there is such short person on the earth?"

Haha. But he is indeed a friendly guy who happens to be in the same course as us. After chatting more with him only then I knew that there are not much chinese night markets in Singapore and he has not seen Taiwan Sausage and Lok Lok before. Cool because Penang is full of them and he can eat as much as he like since he will be leaving on Friday.

Anyway this night market trip left me wondering about 2 questions.


1. Are Singaporean girls all tall and there are really no petites at all???
2. What makes he think that I am tall in the first place based on my voice???
