Whos That one?

On way to Kristine's piano practice after school, we took the wrong elevator which went down to basement instead of up to Yamaha Music School on 5th floor. At B1, a young lady and a Caucasian girl about Kristine's age came in and the lady said 'Ni Hao!' to me. I replied 'Ni hao!', and my mind raced to figure out who this young lady was. Maybe she was the mother of this Caucasian kid, but where did I meet her? I could not figure the answer. She was well dressed, with matching shoes and blowse, and she did not look like a typical local mother.

When we got to the 5th Floor, the answer was evident: she was a piano teacher at Yamaha and the Caucasian girl was there by herself for a piano lesson with another teacher!

Similarly, on Saturday when were on our way to the bus stop, on way to attend a birthday party (Kristine's classmate), a fashionable pretty lady called out to me:'Giam!, Giam!'. I could not recognize her from the diatance. 'Who is this lady calling my name?'. On closer look she was Auntie Edith!!!!!!!
