i was made english speaking by Billy or better known as Sir William in the old days. even though momma was an english teacher we don't converse in that lingo at home. we are more comfortable with our mother tongue. i was not a confident speaker until i was in secondary school.
in secondary one my good friend was a chinese girl who can speak quite well. and later towards the end year of secondary two, i was enrolled in this tiution class conducted by a group of chinese siblings and one guy who tought english. the guy who made us 'english literate' happens to also be the writer in one of the columns st*r newspaper has.
one thing that i love most about this balding guy is, he always come up with something interesting to say despite being this one very weird guy who one can never understand.
he tought me 'to speak in english, you have to think in it'
it works. i swear it works
