My Height
During the 1st lesson of Intepretation Class last night, upon seeing my name, the professor exclaimed rather excitedly "So you are the tall girl that Prof H.N. mentioned!"... Immediately the whole class go "Orrrrhhhh......., you are famous all the way to Nanjing!" In my heart I was wondering did that prof mention anything unusual about me. But this prof says no, he only mentioned your name.
Then later, another classmate, who is the facilitator for a translation talk organised by the school/company of our course, told me that a translator we know mutually refer me as the "tall tall girl" too, during their lunch meeting earlier.
Okay, 2nd time... Almost famous.
3rd time... This morning went to hawker centre to buy fried teochew kueh. After paying for my purchases, the aunty commented "You very tall hor!" "Got good got bad lah!" "Next door also very tall, and she found a husband who is about half head taller than her"
Erm... Okay...
Suddenly, the whole world recognises me by my height.

Tall no good meh? I only 1.64m.
It's not no-good... But I would prefer that people notice me for my great smile, I look good today, I am friendly etc... Somehow, when my height is referred, they tone seems to indicate that I am strange...
