It is not easy being a billingual Chinese Language teacher here in Singapore.
If you are billingual, you are a show-off.
If you are monolingual, you are a failed product of the billingual education system here in SG. Wadda...
If you are a Chinese teacher, you are expected to speak good Mandarin, and somehow, people in general, expect the same tongue to be unable to pronounce the English words.
If, you are able to express yourself decently well in English, people will start to question HOW GOOD YOUR CHINESE IS.
It is like ... &OI^&$&I^?!
So Chinese teachers are the least expected to be an English emcee. Chinese teachers MUST be hopelessly monolingual and be a Chink inside-out.
THEN, I wonder why these people stare at me as if I am the red-ass primate.
