perception

Its funny how people perceive me... i am who i am and that's it.  I am comfortable with myself ... and honestly don't give a flying toss to what other people think or judge....i do not have expectations of friends or people tht i meet unless it is work related.. in which case i guess i can be pretty hardcore....

In the past - peeps seem to think i am quite aloof...snobby...or just plain off... i didn't think i was... but i guess that is how i came across...

I am definately not the type of person who can chat to anyone and everyone about anything... it takes me time and i do like to observe... but i am the person that is usually running around at my own party making sure everyone has a drink if not more....and enough food...and that every person is a part of that party..... the sucker in other words.

Being in China has been interesting because there are sooo many layers in the hierarchy that i have never thought about... and chinese percieve chinese  different and the empowering is different ...depending on where you are from... and most of the time they don't know what to do with me... cos i am " the in between"...not hk..not china..more brit........but i LOOK chinese... is the mentality ..HKites- they can't treat me as from China.... and the China peeps don't treat me as local, hk ...or anywhere close to China.... Never felt so in between before

It's all good.. so i just do my own thing.

YAH i am totally comfortable just aware that there are always going to be situations and we can't change the world just like that... i laugh about it alot as i have to deal with alot of different people..and in china you are already dealing with lots of differences already. In England - i was a minority growing up.. always that "special" kid...until later years in US.. it's all cool B cause of the multi racial mixing pot that already exists.. Now in China.. i understand friends that are not chinese that are singled out.. and chinese that are totally chinese.... we BBC....CBC......ABC's are like the in betweens....but it's all cool...
