Am I one of them?

Just when I tot Im done with school - BUT NOOOOO!!! all I did at work today was revising and studying more about 3 phase power, gosh! I seriously wish i had longer break.

but like Bill said to a collegue last Friday

" well I put her right back to work coz she already had her holiday in Mexico"

Of coz he was kidding but why did I agree to start so soon? Im already feeling unmotivated.

Matt and the guys popped by my office during lunch time and asked

"hey Nicole, u gonna stick around or u gonna come hv lunch with the big boys?"

of coz I went with them! I was bored as hell!! Fortunately I bonded with my team mates surprisngly fast and well! and they are real fun! not as "nerdy" as they look :P

We came across this topic about Tsunami coz they were wondering if Malaysia got hitted pretty bad, and everyone tot it was a year or two years ago. but hey baby, is 2004, that makes it almost well i wouldnt say 3 years but two and a half!! All of us were like "wow....."

And I tot i will go back time to when Tsunami hitted - what was I doing and what was on my mind.... and I found out that I had quite a few writing in Chinese and it impressed me, I was pretty good ! tell me to write it now, i dont think i can. Really rusty. I should practice more - Im so thankful that my parent sent me to chinese school and im blessed with tiny bit of knowledge in my heritage.

Here's a piece that I found interesting (Translation available)

"崇洋 westernization
在加拿大逗留了一阵 回想以前 亲戚朋友们都非常的崇洋 真的不明白。
有些人在外国泡了几年咸水 就自以为是 连讲话也有外国调 实在顶不顺！
就连在外国吃吃风 也特别神气 “这双鞋是在澳洲买的，那是在香港。。。。”
哇塞！报告的不停呢！ 真想兜巴兜巴括他们 觉得自己越来越爱国，哈哈！
还是家乡最好 一年之内最期待就是过新年 今年不能回家过年，没得跟家人团圆 好失望噢
嘿，亲戚朋友们！ 反省反省吧! 你们都身在福中不知福 "

have been in canada for quite a while
thinking back...
frens n relative back home has been westernized
everything bout the "west" is good
even "mat salleh" s fart smell better
some of them, go abroad to further study
came back with weird accent
thinking they r at diff level and called the others back home "uncivilized"
geeeez! cant stand them
some even errr...funnier, just came back from vacation and they already so proud! "i got this bag from Australia,tat shoe from hk"
oh god, u hv noooo idea.... "pi-pak!" *slap!*
after all these, i ve becoming more n more patriotic
MALAYSIA BOLEH!hehe
home is the best, theres no place like home for holiday
let me introduce: the east malaysia,sabah, sarawak...

stop taking things for granted n be appreciative!
coming years, i wouldnt hv the chance to celebrate cny at home but at this foreign place(their lion dance sucks too!) sighhh no reunion dinner with family *sob sob* :(

Am I becoming one of those pricks that I mentioned above throughout the years?
