Proud

You watch the Beijing Olympic 2008 Grand opening ceremony?
Ya, I did. (speechless) China & Chinese are incredible nation & people.

I'm so proud that I'm a Chinese... maybe not totally of pure 100% chinese blood... I'm so glad that I had most of the chinese blood flowing in my body, in my family, in my generation. (if you don't know what I'm trying to say, go watch the ceremony, you will sure understand).
I knew some friend seems ashame of them being a Chinese. They try to act or look like they are "Ang Moh". If they really can't pass off as "ang moh", they will try to be mixed- A Eurasian. Than when above all failed, they will become "ABC/BBC/EBC". They want to be any "C" except for being "CBC" China born Chinese.
Whenever I'm being asked whether am I a chinese or not, I tell them proudly I'm a Chinese. Only to explain or elaborate when they said I don't really look like one.

I once had a Malaysian Chinese friend N, this is what happened:
L: Let me introduce, my friend/colleague, N. This is my best friend, D"
D to N: Hi, nice to meet you.
N to D: Hallo...
Than D & N started to chat for a bit before dinner start.
After dinner, after N left, D stayed back to continue to have a drink with me.
D: You had a very 'funny' & 'cute' friend.
L: Why you say so.
D: Whether you are local or not we can tell when the person speak or thru action.
I nodded my head in agreement, sipping my drink at the same time.
D: I guess N was a Malaysian, but i just want to confirm it. So I asked N you are not a local right?
N: Oh, I'm a foreigner. (I was choked & spit out the drink I just drank, starting to laugh out loud)
D: Ok, so where are you from? (D was trying to be naughty)
N: I left my country to work here many years ago...
D: Which country? (D is not going to give up)
N: (Reluctantly & soft & quick) malaysia.
D: oic...
L: (Still laughing) Ya, N is a foreigner, N is not lying...
D: I just want to disturb N...
We laugh... hahaha
