Theatre Art was my favorite lesson when I was studying in a small town in north california. I was forced to come back to Malaysia when my parents found out that I actually go for Theatre lesson in us. They expected me to go for other courses but not Theatre Art, which they don't foresee a bright future in doing it.
No doubt I was depressed and mad at the same time, but I repect my parents decision. I always remind myself that I'll be heading back to my passion one day and doing what I really love to do.
Chui Mui, I have a story to tell you.
It's about my life in california. I was given the title -international cultural exchanged student from Malaysia. I must be responsible to my action and there's rule to be followed. Some people insulted and teased me as I refuse to use drug and tobacco, they think I'm not cool. I was really confused at the time, not knowing what should I do?
Besides friendship, I did faced some tough time with both family, my american host family & my natural family. When I was on the phone too long with my natural family, my host family felt bad, I was there with them but always missed my natural family so much, naturally, they might thought I don't like them. When I told my natural family about my host family, they became jealous, they said I might forget my home in Malaysia.
In the end, my host family & my natural family made the decision that I shall move away. I have to face my western family with lot of guilt & remorse and my asian family with mix feeling.
I would love to share with you more about my experience in small town and my feeling being thousand miles away from city hometown(penang). Let me know, lmeifen87@yahoo.com
