haha whoa do singaporeans like yale or what. i ED'd Cornell and got in
so surprised actually. second choice was UMich or one of the UC's.
i've lived in taipei for nearly 3 years now but i used to visit every year ever since i was born because all my family are here. studied Chinese at home and at Sunday school (sooo not fun) when i lived in south africa as well.
i have a taiwanese friend whose parents also shipped her to singapore to learn english when she was 9. her english is most likely better than her chinese now too.
