Strange but true

Even at such a young age, Lavigne knows how to switch between accents. This morning, one of Louisa's friends came to our house before school as her childminder had gone on holiday and her mummy had dropped her at our place before she left for work. Lavigne was really excited and kept wanting to play with her. She spoke to her in such a cute British accent. I find it really amusing. I tested her before. Whenever I speak to her in a British accent, she'll reply the same way but if I speak like a Singaporean, she'll revert back. Strange.

When we went back to Singapore last December, people had commented Louisa speaks with a slight British accent. I was surprised because I thought she speaks like us when she's not speaking to the locals here. I wonder if we stay here long enough, would they eventually acquire the British accent totally? But I'm sure if we go back home, in no time will they start saying 'lee, leh, lah, lor'. Oh, and 'alamak', 'wabiang oi', 'aiyoyo'.........
