round eyes vs. the oriental sort
So I just finished exporting all the numbers from my phone on to an excel spreadsheet. I might add here that my phone is a fucking load of shit due to the battery being the size of 3 pieces of chewing gum and lasting a bit longer than a virgin on his maiden run. Do not buy the Nokia 8800 (standard, sirocco or the oh so tempting sirocco gold). Back to my point and I'm sure you can all relate to the fact that you come across names in your phonebook that you do not recognize. You usually say to yourself 'who the fuck is this person?'. Common occurrence for me also as I have 17 people named "Jenny" in my phonebook. Now to those that know me well I'm pretty Australian. I speak like one, act like one and do Australian things. Yes I'm Asian, but not AZN. I also have Australian friends. So I have a pretty diverse network of friends. Now what fucks me up a tree harder than a Lebanese gang is the similarity in Asian surnames. Chen, Chan, Cheong, Cheung, Chong. Is there a fucking difference? Often I find myself looking at a name and thinking 'now which Peter is this?', making a visual image of their face in my head that looks the same as all the other Asian Peters I know. Luckily I have a photographic memory similar to a camera around the 5-6 mega pixel range and can distinguish the Danny Lee from the Danny Li. I know, tell me about it. Now the Caucasian folk, God bless you all. Jacob Sips, Jacob King I so know the difference. Sure I worked with both of them but they were from different companies. Sips had a big nose, King walked like a girl. So fucking easy, especially when you meet them on a night out and you're popping those bad boys left, right and centre and racking up a bar tab like you're not paying for it. Thank you white people. You can't run a country but you can make thinking so much easier.
