the secret of his background.. revealed!
so tonight, after nigh 21 years of life, I find out I'm actually Hokkien! Not Hokchew! this confusion results because my dad's Hokkien but doesn't speak the dialect, and my mother's side, though Hokchew, speaks Cantonese because everyone spoke that in Chinatown. and I've always known one of them was Hokchew, so i figured it was my dad and my mum was Cantonese.
the upshot of which is all the forms i've ever filled were WRONG, because i look for Hokchew first and Cantonese second. ohmygoodness i should pay more attention to these things.
