I speak perfect North American English? Lol.

The 2nd joke on my spoken English cf. 30th Apr 2007 Entry.

Attended the Hall tutor meeting yesterday afternoon. Met up with Prof. CK Tang, the Hall Warden for the New Hall (the name of the hall is call New Hall) and various other hall tutors. Only me and a GZ gal were new, the rest were hall tutors in New Hall for at least a year. I was assigned to be the hall tutor in charge of the 2nd floor, now officially designated as the international floor. Prof. Tang chose me because I am an international student and he said something like let the international student handle the international students. =.=''' Then he said I spoke in perfect North American English (gosh, I never knew that) and thus it'll minimize the communication barrier. '''=.=''' Finally he told me that international students tend to make more trouble as they always organize smoke and drinking parties; I have to stop them if they go overboard. And, I have to ask the securities for help if it's too much to handle on my own. The funniest part was, he selected me coz he read that I received the best soldier award during my NS days. =.=''' (actually I received the best soldier award not for my fitness, but more for my admin; my greatest achievement back then was to clear up the mess for IPPT, SOC, UC and ATP and to write a Brigade SOP for everyone to follow. In addition, I gave a presentation to all the new Specialists and Officers and tell them about the requirements.)

So now I am confused. Do I speak in British or American English? Anyway it doesn't matter. Perhaps I subconsciously switch my accent a little here and there when I speak to different people. Well well.

The upcoming semester will be tough. I gotta manage both the hall people and my research. Should be a good experience for me as I am gonna be a teacher in the future. This allows me to understand and handle students from various backgrounds and culture. Hopefully things will be ok.
