Liar Liar Pants On Fire

It's not necessarily a bad thing being mistaken as hailing from Ta Lu aka China but it always make people laugh and I think I don't know why. They all say I am fair and tall and that is why people keep mistaking me for a China girl. One of my colleagues even thought I look more like a village girl than a city babe. (Ok, start rolling with laughter.) RJ's face--->( T-T )

So I have been lying everyday for the past week. Not that I am really proud of it but since I happen to look less 'local', I could afford to make up stories of my birthplace. I don't know what is it about students from the local Polytechnics but they sure are gullible! They actually believe everything I said...either my acting is damn good or they are just too nice.

Lie A
#1: Are you local?
RJ: Nah, I am from Nigeria.
#1: Serious?! Wow, what do you speak?!
RJ: Swahili.
#1: Wow, that is way cool man. How come you were there?
RJ: My grandparents went there to dig for gold.
#1: *stares at me and whistles* Swahili...wow, that's like way cool!

Obviously she couldn't find the fallacies in my story and she only knew the truth when I told her at the end of my shift. LOL silly thing. Maybe I deadpan a little too well.

Lie B
#2: Are you local? I mean, Vonne said you were from China but you speak Japanese!
RJ: Yeah I am from Shanghai.
#2: Where did you learn Japanese?
RJ: My mum's Japanese.
#2: Oh no wonder. Wow. But you have such a Singaporean accent too.
RJ: Yeah we have to come to Singapore for my dad's business. Besides, his relatives weren't too happy about him marrying a Japanese.
#2: Oh yeah, I know. *rolleyes*

ROFL.

Lie C
#3: Gao's from Shanghai, where are you from?
RJ: Chongqing.
#3: I see. *goes back to texting*

I'm sorry to lie so much but it's funny to mess with their minds. I shall stop soon. Anyway I do tell them the truth in the end, so I am good. Goodness, now I have to wonder...are Singaporeans a tad too naive? (Besides the rude "This is SIngapore Chagi Airport!!!" M.O.P obviously.)
