Of course i did something for the boyfriend!

I just like being sweet to the women around me too ;p

We never really celebrated anything, the boyfriend is too stressed up about his problems so i don't really mind that much. But i will always do something..because i am that restless.

So i am going to cook something nice Tempura Soba, get a dozen oysters for him, then hide 5 presents around my room for him to find.

Working as a receiptionist here, i get to chat quite a bit with my manager, an australian. And its really interesting...Sue was telling me to get her daughter to end it with her boyfriend (didnt really like him), she encouraged her daughter to move in with him. True enough, within 6 months, her daughter came home.

Asian parents no matter how forbid their children this and that, whereas westerners simply nudge them on, and allow them to learn on their own.

Double-edged sword, however. They are not allowed to spank their children here (by law), and thus their kids can get very bad. Her son is a rebel, breaks into their bedrooms to steal. Crack codes on the safe, picks locks, cant stay long at a job, irresponsible etc. He is 20.

She is surprised Asians will have problem kids as well! She thought asians would have very well behaved children because of the culture. She said, asian parents will always want their kids to be doctors or lawyers. BUt westerners..we're contented with what our children are and love them for who they are.

Asians tend to have children as a future investment when they're old kinda thing, but westerners jus have kids for a family. I think asian kids are very pressured...there was one day a man came in to pay rent, and was chatting with Sue, and he let on that he is renting his house to his mum. I was like !!! I told Sue "isnt that very unfillial? You ask your mother to pay rent?!" Then Sue said, "oh, that is fillial! he IS already taking care of his mother. By collecting CHEAP rent from her."
