Mid-20s Mutant Ninja Turtle
There's this guy I met at a course and he speaks strongly American accented English. According to my sources he was born there but that was basically it. He told me himself that he had spend the most part of his life in Malaysia without too much details. So why the accent eh? I notice that the Malaysian majority who do speak with an accent other than Manglish or the supposedly neutral Malaysian accent speak with a tinge of American twang. Honestly I wouldn't mind if they sound genuine, yeah... but i'm absolutely gutted at posers. Not that I'm saying that this guy is one of them. His accent didn't sound fake or cheap. He happens to be one of those few who manage to pull it somehow.Nevertheless, rather than making an impression on me, I find his peculiarity a subject that is worth a mention. For e.g. he was geekishly goofy and laughed at loads of things which, in my opinion, have not the slightest humour in them. Then, he insisted on digging out this blog's url and I lament the fact that he is so convinced that he'll eventually acquire it and when I said eventually I really mean by Friday i.e. tomorrow. Thirdly, I was informed again by my sources that he doesn't quite like Malay food, rice for instance but is gastronomically fond of pizzas. The last attribute made me wonder and express aloud if "entah entah dia Ninja Turtle" going around incognito and we (a friend & I) had a good laugh about it.
Clearly, this is another one of my special "mengumpat and mengutuk" editions... so I'm sorry if anyone has had to read through this without realising what he is getting himself into from the very start. Anyway, hearsay is bad so take what I said with a SACK of salt!
