I forgot how fun it was to be in Perth, and to think I almost dreaded coming back here. I'm glad I still have Annie and Collette, at least not everyone has left. Going out with them is good fun, although something does still feel like its missing. It's definitely weird not having Mimmi around, my Swedish party girl. I hate going past KV now, its so empty it's not even funny. It just ain't the same without my girls.
Went to the como pub with Annie, ooh we had a blast even though it was just the two of us. We rocked at pool (surprisingly) and ruled the table for 3 games! Had a bunch of guys on our side rooting for us, someone please tell me why they always have to be in their 30s?! Too bad my parents are down in Perth too, otherwise I'd have had a few good ol' beers with Annie and drank our night away. Can never party too much, ey? But of course there are always the dodgy dickheads who try (unsuccessfully) to pick us up and we have to switch tables. But otherwise, it's all good.
Someone explain to me PLEASE why it is soooo surprising that I'm Asian and speak good English? I'm so damn sick of getting the same question "Oh you're from Singapore? Then how come your English is so good?". Erm, because we speak....ENGLISH in Singapore? Jeez, get with the programme. We're not all dumb ya know? No offence intended. Is it so hard to comprehend and understand that English IS our national language? I agree, I've met some Asians who told converse too well in English, but that is also because of their family background and upbringing. I wish these stereotypes would just go away though. Colour and race is only skin deep, and it doesn't matter what it is. You can be Chinese or Caucasian and still be an idiot.
