Shopping

In about two hours yesterday, I spent nearly $300 on 5 pants, and 3 boots, among other small accessories. Next will be glasses, contacts, shirts, digital camera and party clothes.

Considering the pants are way too long for me, I asked my parents to help me amend them. Yes, I don't know how to sew. In return for my parents' help, they lectured me on how I am not a proper girl just because I don't know how to sew nicely, or I'm not a traditional girl blah blah.

Like I told my parents before, I absolutely am not a normal girl, I don't think nor do I act like one. Fitting myself into the roles of cutesy-dumbass, or mute-submissive just isn't me. I am really strong-headed, I know what I want and what I don't want, when I see something unacceptable, I make sure I don't become like that etc. Yes, I don't know how to sew but why do most parents want their daughters to be so submissive, or the words my parents and many Chinese parents use, "Able to fit in the kitchen, able to fit in the living room".

And apparently me being very hyper and not being too upset is kind of disturbing some friends who have known me for way too long, and seen me overcome many other problems. Ha, I suppose I have a stronger spirit than I thought. Anyways, letting go makes me feel better because I feel like I'm not stopping anyone, especially myself, from many things in life. I am, however, going to miss the kids so much.

My birthday's coming up, and I'm thinking how I want to spend it. Probably want to go to a jam, like Rocellie suggested. I am going to have a glorious feat on my birthday, even though it's really just two weeks away haha. And again, my birthday falls on a weekday, what else is new? (Guess I'll be seeing you on my birthday, Fareeda, since I'm working that day haha)
