  • Identity Crisis...

    After spending 6-months in India, I started seeing myself as Indian, but after spending 12 days in China I'm reminded that I'm Chinese. ID Clash!! hahaha. Well, now I'm motivated to learn both Hindi and Mandarin! I doubt I have the time though...
  • Vacation Time is Over...

    Job begins Oct. 13 (whoohoo!) but at the same time, I'm scared because this is a REAL job. yeah the other jobs that I had weren't real: TA for upper division econ class (well, this felt pretty real), civil engineer intern (a joke but well paid =D), working on-campus (okay this felt real too but I didn't really do anything...)

    I'm just a bit nervous because I'm actually going to be doing something engineering related, which I don't really have any hands-on experience in!  Well, maybe I'm over-hyping hahahaha. Actually, I was a civil engineer in India for 6-months and that was the closest I had to civil engineer experience. I was nervous at first because literally, I didn't know anything but I caught on. I'll see how this job goes.

    2Pac and Third Culture

    Just finished reading a book about his teenage years in Baltimore and watching Tupac Resurrection and from the documentary, I noticed that Tupac had Third Culture down! His Christmas interview with MTV back in '92 was very touching. He talked about his Christmas with his family as a child and how they had nothing: no father, no food, no gifts, nothing. I liked how his mom didn't play the blame game and blame their situation on their deserted father, but in fact strengthened the family emphasizing being strong as a family. Also, 'Pac was saying how everyone, Blacks, Koreans, Whites, Mexicans etc. are responsible in helping out the poor. We're living together here and it's not just all back on ethnic group but everyone. Yeah, he's talking about Third Culture before it went big.
