was just talking with pearlyn today.. about well whether we would ever marry someone outside our own race (aka not chinese)

and its strange how i've been so assimilated into this Singaporean community that i never realize how different my heritage is from other people. (kudos to all that multicultural singaporean concepts). although the difference is staring at me right in the face. like every single time i write my name.. english or chinese. its so sad, and so wasted, that i hardly know anything about my parents, where they came from, their history, background. im only ever concerned in the now, the future, what homework is due tomorrow. and then our parents become more like vehicles to carry us into the next tomorrow.

and im quite ashamed. i dont even know how to speak tagalog, and know even less about phillippines than vietnam.

how ironic i wrote that darn and out of point chinese compo about how singaporean youths are losing their cultural heritage when there's one good example right here.

oh dear, here goes the new year resolution to learn tagalog before the end of the year when we go back to phillippines. and we havent gone to see my grandparents in 4 years. really scary. and i just get the feeling that im unfilial. (since when have i even thought about them.. or even remembered their birthdays? and phone conversations are always awkward and embarassing. SIGH) how to break out of this apathy?

and there i go thinking too much again. GROWL.

&the beauty.
