For the second time,Student's mother: Are you Singaporean?
Me: Yes.
Me: Yes.
The mother: How old are you?
Me: Twenty-two.
Student: (Sniggered) So old.
The mother: (Glared at daughter) You want to know my son?
Student: Mum! Kor too young for her la.
Me: Er...
The mother: You have boyfriend or not?
Me: Er... No...
The mother: No boyfriend okay ma. She's only twenty-two. Your kor twenty, not much difference. Nowadays, age difference doesn't matter. I have a few friends who are older than their husbands by four, five years.
Me: (Blushed) Er...
The mother: Can la, make friends only. Young people should make more friends. If cannot, never mind. You can still be friends.
Me: Hmm...
The mother: My son scholar, you know. (Beamed)
Student: Stop, Mum! I'm having tuition.
The mother went back to her room. I distinctly heard her said, "She's very shy," to her husband.

i wonder why her first qn was "are u singaporean?".
just as many women are marryg guys who r younger, many guys r oso lookg for wives overseas wat.
haha... juz a tot. maybe its just her bad "pickup line".
Haha... I am as bewildered as you are.
Oh! I think it's becos I was speaking Mandarin (teaching Chinese) to the student. And you know, our Mandarin is especially melodious, she couldn't help being curious :D
Oh, you should tell your student's parent that scholarships are nothing but a lie to exploit naive young kids. When he starts serving his bond he will know.
