POST 248.

I realised how discriminating people can get here.

I was standing outside this lift, waiting for it to come up and then next to me were these group of local, secondary girl students. And then, they just were like glaring at me and I was like, D: okay like, what the hell? And then, the lift came and me, my brother and them went into the lift.

In the lift, they were having this foreigners kinda people discussion in cantonese:

" You know this sort of colours - green, brown, foreigners wear then look good. ... You know one day right I was on the streets and I saw this lady with green eyes and brown hair, like seeing a ghost okay! ... black colour ah, looked like a person in a coffin you know. "

I think there was more but I can't really remember but that was, enough to get me pissed off. I was like, you've got to be kidding me. Excuse me, how discriminating can you people get? Really, I don't get what's it with these locals and foreigners. Ohmygod, that was just. And I'm pretty sure they started talking about that after seeing me. ( I was wearing my green specs and my uniform was brown. ) I was just so, pissed they could actually even say that. And then I was telling my brother about it in english while they just kept blabbering on but stopped after that. They must've thought I didn't understand cantonese just because I spoke in english. Not the first time that happened alright. But really, how horridly insulting. If they ever dared say that in the school I'm going to, well I'd like to see them try.

Every week when I go for my that chinese thing with my brother, something happens that just pisses me off. Last week, this local or probably PRC I can't be sure, rammed over my feet with her trolley and shoved me aside. And then when I went yelling out like, " Hey lady what the hell? " She just glared at me like as if I did that to her. What in the -

@#$%&@%#@&$%@#%&&@.

Honestly, how uncivilised and rude. And then people were actually looking at me. Yes, me not her. Don't tell me this has something to do with the foreigner issue again. Is it that awfully weird for some english speaking person to like show up in a place like Tsuen Wan for chinese classes which I do not even want to go to? Everywhere I go, people just think that I don't speak cantonese and that I can't understand it, well fine, not a big deal. D: But I just absolutely ~~hate~~ dislike it when you're treated differently.

And then something else happened today too. This old granny came up behind me and I kind of elbowed her I think but hey, not exactly my fault - you came up behind me. I can't possibly see you. And then she just walked past me and went in a rude tone, " Haiya! " ... No comment. I really have nothing else to say. I mean what else can I say? As shocking as this can get, I can't wait to get out of Hong Kong and move back to Sydney. At least, foreigner kinda people won't get discriminated.

Thank god I'm NOT in a local school. I think I would just die.
