While sitting in tuition being hammered by RLC phasor diagrams and the like, I was thinking. I've been affected by my Asian origin recently, once at the Auckland Uni Open day by some freaky old man promoting Theology as a Bachelor degree (baha sorry, I can't help laughing at that) and another time at the dairy while I tried to buy a bottle of Orange and Mandarin G Force while on my lunch break from work. Even though I made it really obvious that I would rather prefer to speak English they (old man and indian dairy owner) continued to try and converse in broken Chinese (ni hao, xie xie)...which kind of irritates me. Just because I look Asian doesn't mean you have to do that for me when I express that I'd rather it not happen. It's nice for people fresh off the boat/airplane but kind of annoys me.

I don't really know why to be honest.

Maybe I should have been born white. It's that age old "I don't belong anywhere" conundrum.
