Handbag Analogy

I feel like a handbag. Yes, I'm my brother's handbag. I was invited to his fiance's party at the City's casino pub and of coz I turned up. The people there were mostly Katherine and my brother's friends, basically, mostly ang mohs. So I felt kinda weird and out of place. My bro and Katherine could sense my boredom and started to introduce me to their friends, saying I'm JR's sister. Those people would just look at me, go "Hi, nice to meet you, so where are you studying? Enjoying Adelaide?" and thats it. They go back to their conversations among themselves. So I'm tagging to my bro, get introduced to his friends, his friends have a look at me, go "wow, nice handbag," and thats it. That feeling sucks. That's the kind of discrimination I get.

Stuff like that happen in school too. We're always following Shiling to frisbee trainings, and I feel like her handbag too. I'm not the only one who feels this way. Mike is American, but like me, he's asian, he gets the same kinda feeling too. So I'm not the only one being over sensitive. Why are those ang mohs so narrow minded? They should go Arab and experience the same kind of discrimination, then they'll know how we feel here.

The holiday week passed so quickly, I didn't even got much stuff done. Have like 7 assignments due after the holidays but I only completed one. The rest are either half done or havent even started. And its not like I've been playing alot. Well maybe. =P Definately didn't get anything done on Friday, but its not my fault! I had this annual Dietetics Association conference on Friday which occupied my entire day from 9-5pm. Then I went for Katherine's farewell party which means the entire day + night is burnt. On saturday I went grocery shopping at Marion, but since its a Saturday, I wasnt in the mood to study too. Hur hur. I was quite keen on going out to club on Saturday night, but the gals felt too lazy to go out, so we didn't. We just went over to Selina's place for dinner & chill out. Watched this funny movie called Team America which was damned hilarious! Luckily we had an American around to explain some stupid jokes which we SGP gals couldnt catch. I did little work on Sunday coz I woke up so late. When I say late I meant I woke up at 11am. Yes, thats considered late here. The sky darkens at 6, so waking up at 11 means you only get to see 7 hours of sunlight, and I don't like it... Anyway Sunday I was at Katherine's farewell thing with her family. So another day gone. Shit, looks like I gotta start work NOW.
