Lets see all the devations of surnames I have. Amy Phua. Amy P. Amy Peee, Amy Pua-sami. Now, I introduce to you, Amy FWAH.
Why Amy Fwah? Thanks to my lecturer, the one with the heavy aussie accent. *shudders*
how do you pronounce phone? Or Philosophy? You pronounce it as f-one, and Fee-losophy rite?
So, when you see P-H-U-A, how do you pronounce it? FWAH! Especially people who are so un-Singaporean and have never watched local TV, you will probably pronounce it that way. Which I think my lecturer is.
So, when he took attendance, I nearly fell off my chair when he announced to the whole class: FWAH- MEI- YEN. (think saying this in a very very aussie accent) EEEKKK....
