The storm of the Eye

If I were to tell you that I've never experienced any form of discrimination since the day I step on the soil of America, I would be lying to you.

Back at home, racial discrimination links to political influences. But when I came here, I, a female Asian with intentions of just gaining a bachelors degree(and traveling, seeing new cities, etc) bearing no influences politically, racial discrimination is not about politics anymore (at least to me), it's on another whole new level.

Back at home, it feels good to talk with my Malay friends, studying with them.. I enjoy joking, hanging out with my Indian friends. All those racial discrimination were politically influenced and were Adult's games. I never really bothered. It feels as if my friends and I will never be like those politicians, never.

Before I came, I thought I would be fully prepared of this, I was aware. Now that I've experienced it, I understand it's a problem that can't be dealt with easily. In my sociology class, I was introduced to Ms. Elliot.

Ms.Elliot and her third-graders

Now that I'm the minority, I know what it feels like to be discriminated and to discriminate, on a whole new level. Never will I feel the same again.

Being discriminated for who I am, is depressing.

Solitude

I wrote an essay for my English class yesterday, and I mentioned how it feels to be the odd one out in most of my classes. My classmates don't know where Malaysia is, and this is my cue to sigh. I mentioned in the essay that whenever I enter the class I feel as if there's invisible arrows up on my head pointing and flashing "Only Asian". I need some time to find my niche here.

Sunday

There's this place we really like. We've been there for 3 times for the past one and a half week. The stuff there ain't that bad, but seriously it's fit for two, not one x) Here's some pictures :

The one drinking water is Bosco, and the one concentrating on his iPhone is Kevin.

Shirping jiejie

SeePing from Penang and XiaoYing from China, who's studying in NUS

WangChen all the way from China who's a freshman here

Me and the bf

The bf and i shared this. lol. we ate half of it and kept the other half for dinner.

This is the super big meal that ShirPing ordered. She couldn't finish it, who can anyway?

Wang Chen finished this and ended up being too full..

I gotta learn how to be thrifty. Food here ain't that cheap if you convert, which is a bad thing, because I try not to, but I just really don't wanna spend that much on food, which is a hard thing because we tend to eat a lot during winter.

I just got to know my 2nd housemate today, Ashley. I have no idea what to talk about with them yet, they don't know anything about Malaysia(lol) and we're i'm still shy and don't know much about each other, but I guess I'll figure this out somehow. I'm still trying to get used to being the minority here. It's kinda weird being the only Asians on the bus. haha.

I did something stupid today. I didn't know their espresso here are in shots, so I ordered a double espresso and got two shots of espresso ONLY, without coffee. Sigh. I'm just gonna order hot chocolate for the next two years every morning. sigh.

Well that's all for now I guess. Sorry forgot to take a picture of my phone. Will post it up as a filler post later when I'm not free to blog =p
