Asian values.

After having a "proud-to-be-Asian" convo, I can safely say that I am indeed, proud to be Asian/ Chinese/ Whatever. I don't think I've realised this tendency as much as after having to live in a foreign angmo/ farang/ yang-ren dominated environment for nearly a year and a half. Quite frankly, I cannot wait for the day I leave for good. Enough is enough, you know? And our 'being Asian rocks' convo included talk about how family matters so much. Recently, for whatever odd reason, my emotions have been intensified and I have been feeling down more often. I don't like this phrase I'm going through at all. I just want to go home. 19 days, absolutely can't fucking wait.

"I've realised that my being Asian has made me more protective of my family and their image to everyone else. It's like, of course I want to uphold my own reputation, but the truth of the matter is that at the same time, I am really doing it to protect my family's name. Say, whatever I do will be subject to scrutiny by my relatives and hence, I refrain from doing anything stupid. I don't think some people understand. People talk, no matter what, and I don't ever wanna put my parents in the position of having to explain my actions. People can think what they want to think, but I don't want to be the one to plant any ideas in the first place. Hai, bai ren bu liao." You can blame me all you want, but I'm only doing what I'm doing for my parents. They wouldn't tell me they object whatsoever, but I know they do. We are afterall, a conservative Asian family with 3 girls in the home.


And hey guess what? I can't wait to Mambo! Don't pang seh me ok Ah Da! Make sure everyone turns up...and Fang..you have to come too okay! 28th June, bu jian bu shan. :)
