hi! i'm als & this is my blog.

i write about random things.
these days i write pretty sporatically.
sometimes i completely rave about something, like a tv show but sometimes i write pretty serious things.
i write in short phrases, i like the freedom of not having to write in proper punctuation and grammar.
i'm a christian. i also ♥ music, art, photography, movies, tv & books.

hope you enjoy ♥

#230 i am not.


so yesterday
i was in the bathroom at melbourne central station
and this vietnamese lady asked me if i was vietnamese
i said 'no.'
then she said, 'do you know what time centre closes today?'
i said 'probably 6.'
then after a short while she goes, 'where are you from?'
'i'm australian.'
'no, where are you from?'
'i'm chinese.... from china.'
'are you vietnamese? you look vietnamese.'
'no. i'm chinese.'
'are you sure?'
'i'm not vietnamese.'
'sure?'
'yes.'

i got pretty annoyed that she was so insistent
to the point that i felt really offended.
and for the record, no i'm not vietnamese.
my mum was orn in vietnam, but she's chinese.
and my dad's born in china and he's chinese also.
