I realise I'm not blogging!

When I'm just starting a new relationship and under emotional stress from it, I just can't really write. To sum it all up though:
- My parents don't really like the idea of me having a Caucasian boyfriend instead of an Asian. Seriously, racists.
- I see Daniel once a week and my dad thinks it's too frequent so he's always yelling my head off whenever I wish to go out.
- I really can't miss Valentines next week.
- And the week after that I really can't miss his 18th birthday either. But he's going out late for dinner and clubbing and I'm not allowed out past 10 pm so... Shit.
- SHIT SHIT SHIT.
Despite all that crap, I'm still juggling my summer school work really nicely. (And by really nicely I mean so far 50/50, 43/43 and a screwed 39/40. I'm a show-off, get over it. 
) Umm and Happy Chinese New Years! Hope all you Asians who celebrate it got nice $$$. 
Oh and, check out Amanda's Mummy Pants competition now! I need babies...

Firstly, WOOT FOR THOSE COOL MARKS!!!
Secondly, as I said over at Snark, argh about your parental situation. I dunno, with my parents my potential career/schooling has always been more important than who I was dating. As long as my marks were somewhat decent and that I was still motivated towards my long-term goals, my parents was satisfactorily reassured that me dating a white guy wouldn't ruin my life. Is it possible to use your totally awesome marks as leverage or something? Or maybe just show your parents how their restrictiveness is really making you unhappy and DO THEY WANT THEIR DAUGHTER UNHAPPY???
I hope you don't miss Valentines.
As for his birthday, sorry to hear about that but perhaps you could celebrate it with him during the day? Argh, damn family restrictions. -
It may help to kind of ... "instruct" your boyfriend on azn customs and so on. Have him over for a family dinner, and beforehand, just lead him through the typically boot-licking brown-nosing comments that azn parents love.
The more he shows that he's willing to fit in with their customs, the more likely they are to accept him.
Thank you for the plug! -
Whoa... I see a nerd XP Just kidding! Those marks are wonderful! Like the teachers would say, "Keep up the good work!"
I think they prefer an Asian since they think that the Chinese race is scarce there and you need to populate it with more Asians! But then I don't really understand your situation since I've not been in that (hey, I've never had a single boyfriend in my whole life!) and my parents are really open to anyone; Caucasians, Malays, Indians, etc. My parents prioritize my academics and also my happiness -
Wow, WTF happened with that 39/40?!?! I'm majorly disappointed in you! And I am officially shunning you from now on.
...
NO! I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH! *glomps*
I hope you can work out this complicated stuff with your parents! -
I'm sorry to hear about your parents — it must make life incredibly difficult for you. But congratulations on your results!

I don't know of any father that likes their daughter's choice in a male friend. I was lucky, I didn't start dating until I was 22 and then I didn't feel the need to have my dates meet my patents so they never knew them, lol. But then I never had any intention of having anything serious with them, lol.
You marks are still wonderful, Rilla. You can get that mark up that one point. I know you can. -
39/40? You're not working hard enough - do better next time!
How do you expect your parents to let you out past 10 when you have a bf and an "I need babies" attitude? -
WHAT! Don't they realize the ADVANTAGES of your having a Caucasian boyfriend? Namely, if you were to marry a Caucasian guy, you would have MIXED BABIES. Mixed babies are beautiful, charming, AND intelligent. What more could they ask for as parents?!
I want to marry a Caucasian guy so I can have mixed babies. =.=
Oh and Happy Chinese New Year to you too! =] -
dad's side of the family is asian so sometimes i get red packets even tho i dont really celebrate it so here's happy cny to you ;)
and give it time. i think parents in this era just dont seem to see anything past procreation within their own culture i spose. i know cos i think my parents probably cant see me in the future getting married to anyone other than a catholic. i think that's even worse -
Chien, the Chinese race is scarce? That's my LOLZ of the day. There's too many Chinese.
Cindy, I'm exactly like you. I want to marry a Caucasian guy for the mixed babies too. -
I'm Asian and I've been going out with the same white boy for almost a year now. My dad's unhappy about it, but he doesn't really express it much. I have a feeling it might have something to do with the fact that his only daughter is going out with <em>someone</em>... Either way, I respect what my parents think and I do listen to them. But at the end of the day, it's my choice who I want to go out with.

Congrats on the marks, woman! Eheh, classic Asian overprotective parents. =.=" Slightly unnecessary, if you ask me.
'sif I need Mummy Pants. P'shaw, course I don't. I'm gonna watch you all flock over there and see how much of a big deal is made out of it. xD -
Oh yeah! And Happy New Year! Chuc Mung Nam Moi!
I wasn't exactly swimming in red pockets, but I got my fair share. Good outcome for doing absolutely nothing, if you ask me. -
Urg, I feel so bad for you
*shaking fist toward your parents* Hopefully your boyfriend understands the position you are in right now (:
Happy Chinese New Year to you too! I never get any money though -
Hey, congrats on those great marks!
About your guy situation, I'm sorry to hear that your parents don't completely approve Daniel and they are acting like that. You are legal now, did you tell them about the bubble bath and the champaign and the sex? Heh, or better not to.
I hope your parents eventually (but soon!) find a way to accept your boyfriend, it wouldn't be healthy for your relationship to have this kind of disturbances, specially since it started recently. And it's Valentine's day, you can't miss that! How about spending a nice day/evening with him that day, and on his birthday just a quick meeting during the day? I wish you could go to both, specially since the are both special occasions and not just because "you want to go out".
Good luck hun -
I hope everything works out with your boyfriend and your parents *hugs*. Your marks are great! I would've been equally pissed with getting a 39/40

Azn families regarding relationships BE LAME.
*hug to Rilla* -
Hehehe the typical Asian parents!

Aw... that sucks, really. But aren't you of age? Can't you um... put your foot down or anything? My parents are really protective, but I did have a lot of liberty after I turned 18... well 19. I was in 12th grade when I was 18, and had maturity exam and all that jazz.
Maybe you can still celebrate. Give him his present earlier... I'm trying to formulate this without sounding as if I was implying something and failing... successfully. So er... congrats on the marks.
