Adelene, a classmate, approached me during class break today.
"Hi, I heard you are Grace."
"Yeah... I am." *smiles curiously*
"Oh...." *checks out my name tag* "...so you are from Chi....???"
"Yeah, I am from China." (Here Terri looked at me rather sympathetically.) Adelene did not look the least surprised. Nodded and smiled at me.
After a while, I realized that she actually believed me. I decided to tell her the truth.
"NO.... I am not from China."
Needless to say, she looked at me in confusion, disbelief and suspicion. Her mouth fell open. "Huuuh.....you are NOT?"

Just yesterday, I suddenly remembered that my Hakka maternal grandparents ARE from China and I look like them. @_@
I think I know what to say now... when people ask if I am from China. MY GRANDPARENTS ARE FROM CHINA!
