having fun with culture

I have this subject called Speech Communication, and I am currently working on an assignment. An Introductory Speech on Culture. In my lecturer's own words: "Chinese do Chinese, Malay do Malay." Yes, feel free to snigger at all the wrong wrong ways you can interpret this. I know I did ;)

So I had this brainwave to pretend I'm Korean and start talking about the hanbok or something. Just to see how many of my classmates fall for this. Mess around, have fun, make people squint at me to pick up any resemblance to some Korean actress they know (when it should be the Korean actors they should be thinking of), make the lecturer quiz me about my 'Korean' granpaw, spin crazy Winter Sonata-worthy tales, etc etc.

Then I start thinking about my grades. My lecturer won't be very happy if she knows I'm lying. Bugger confirmed this - he has classes with her too. Oh well. A beautiful plan scrapped. Dammit.

So. Plan B. Now I shall talk about Hokkien, which is definitely one of the few ways I am very 'cultured' in. And I just thought of a way to have fun :D

Who wants to bet I can say cheebye without getting into trouble? And lanjiao. And tulan. What else?

[update: did not get boo-ed, did not get shoes thrown at, did not get thrown out of INTEC. and yes, paraded cheebye, lanjiao, and mak ee poh eh char boh kia (thanks eejane!) in front of class :D]
