Hi Cyn,

I'm so happy you liked the post! I agree that, although we don't put down the people who DO choose to go down the military, science and/or medical road (where would we be without them?!), we won't necessarily follow that road... and that's OK! :)

Can't wait to see how your future unfolds with that "empty room and a lot of ideas" venture! ;)

Lots of love back!

hey ate! good one here! bravo! yah, i definitely went against the occupational norm head on since day one. no medical, science or military careers (no put-down on my bro who's serving out there!) for me but went into retail ("what?! how come retail?? you know how hard that it - it's only good when sales are good. it's so hard when sales are bad.") my mom to this day is still pushing for me to go back to school for nursing.

but u know i got other idea that involve an empty room and a lot of ideas!

love ya ate! u rock! ALWAYS!!

I think our family would disown me if they ever read this post!

I'm glad you liked the post! Yes, it's definitely something that crosses cultural boundaries. At least we're aware of it enough not to inflict our own offspring with it. :)

I've wanted to comment so many times, but I just never got around to it. I just wanted to say that that was so well-written. It is something that I can really identify with, as there is the same pressure to conform within the chinese community as well. In addition to parental pressure, there is the self-inflicted pressure not to let them down. Ah... guilt. And to think, there is no religion to muddy the waters.

Ate Can!!! I love it! It was perfect!! I cannot believe you actually wrote it! OH NO! What if pinsans read it? Wait a minute, they should! It was so beautifully written and so eloquently versed! (ME:You like that?) (YOU: Yah, yah...I liked that!) **don't be confused**

Can you tell that I'm beaming with pride? I am SO PROUD!

BUT, besides being talented, you forgot to mention "feverishly good looking...without having to make an effort". So hot!

I loved it! I love you!!! Hi to the fam!

Thanks, Arturo! Can you sense me blushing from your compliment? :)
That's a really cool widget, isn't it? I found it on a blog in Australia. Definitely add it to your own. It's fun seeing who comes to visit.

Cheers,

Hi Nennette
Your writing is so superb. Hey! I love that widget that shows who is tuning in!!!! You can see my mind whirling and wanting to get it, right? I think it's so way fun. For example, as I'm reading it says "Palo Alto tuning in as CRONyogitect" meaning it recognized me. Wow. Bzzzz. Mind whirling. Tomorrow I may look into that. Thanks!
