Tell me the description of A Singaporean

I juz cant stop laughing to myself whenever I recall this incident. I was approached by a lady (more like a foreginer) ard twenties who is doing a survey oustide the Pasir Ris MRT station near Whitesands Shopping mall two days ago.

She began to ask, " Execuse me. Are u a local here?" After that I replied by smiling, "Ya." Then she said, "Oh u dont look like a Singaporean, more like a foreigner to me." In my mind, I was cursing and swearing, "Hey Miss, I am a purely and truely Singaporean since I am born here. What makes u think so I am not. Do u want me to show u my pink I.C.? "

She tried to explain what's her motive her doing there but in the end I rejected her by giving some excuses that I am in a rush to meet friends for dinner at the food court. On the way back home, I am thinking this is not the 1st time I encountered this before. There's a supplier coming to my work place and settled something. He also started to ask this kind of qns.

Before I entered N.S, there's a poly year 1 classmate who is a guy, asked this qns too. Maybe there's a lot of china, India, Mynamar Students in Polytechnic as he might mistaken tat I am one of the foreign students. I was quite disappointed in his first impression of me. Haha. I used to be more fair, more plump than what I am now. So I do not blame him at all.

So can anyone tell me how does a Singaporean look like in terms of description, character, behaviour, etc? I am still looking for an answer.

A change in my field of studies?

Have discussed with my Dad regarding whether I can apply one of the undergraduate courses in SIM last night. He asked me what course I am going to study but I havent give him a reply yet; most probably a course related to IT studies. I told him I will do some research abt the course and school fees before I discuss with him further.

On the other hand, I still want to study related to my diploma as it is easier to understand and get hold of the whole concept since I have learned the basic. If I choose a new course, I will start from scratch...

So how? Its contradicting......
