little. yellow. different. A weblog by Ernie Hsiung

spew

Because if I write any more about my family, I’ll have to change this to a LiveJournal and start posting Evanescence lyrics.

This Friday, I went to my friend Royce’s Christmas Party. Not a big deal - I took him to my Christmas Party and he repaid the favor, so I see it more as a student exchange program, except instead of visiting Holland, you’re politely eating Chicken in a suit with people you don’t know. A nice dinner for the price of $Free.99? The Asian in me loves that shit.

Royce also organized the Christmas Party. In a relatively conservative company that is 80% Asian. No good can come from this.

Royce: I’ll need three volunteers from the audience for a contest. The winner wins a digital camera.
(After much goading, three volunteers come onto the stage.)
Royce: Okay guys, we’re gonna play a game called “SPEW.”

There is absolutely, positively NO good that can come from a game called Spew.

Royce: The object of this game is to put in an Alka-Seltzer, then drink take a hard swig of this bottle of Diet Coke. The last person to spew out all the foam on the dance floor wins.
Everyone on stage: …
Ernie: (thinking to himself) You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din.

One thing though - when it comes to something like a digital camera, Asians will do anything - anything - to win. If it involved downing the whole package of Alka-Seltzer and doing a kegstand of club soda, they’d do it just for the chance to buy one less gift for their kids.

I love my people.

An 80% asian-american workforce? Man, I need to move to SoCal. Or anywhere really.

*sob* now you’ve made me consider what us Poles would do. And it isn’t pretty.

You paint such a pretty picture. At our Christmas Party the worst thing we have to do is the Chicken Dance.

So who won?

I actually only know of one person with the name of “Royce”… I wonder if we know the same person?

hmmmm…. (scratches head)

Somehow I think that that game would be fun at ANY party.

” I’ll have to change this to a LiveJournal and start posting Evanescence lyrics.”

You could always just change the colors to black and grey and post Death Cab For Cutie songs - that way you’d look emo.

“An 80% asian-american workforce? Man, I need to move to SoCal. Or anywhere really.”

w.e. - The Bay Area is not SoCal. We have a NoCal/SoCal rivalry, e.g. Raiders/Chargers and Kings/Lakers.

Chicken in a suit?

First of all, I apologize for any offense given to anyone of any of the cultures I could possibly offend with this next line, but I couldn’t resist…

In response to C:
Actually, I was hoping he’d go goth and post Ministry lyrics with me… Has that become a trend yet? I dunno, I lost most of the blog-world a while back…

I just discovered this site and geez, us bannana kids are all the same. Not easy being asian, growing up in western society. I can relate with EVERYTHING you said. Has anybody ever read the comic book Gen13, one of the few contemporary asian male comic book characters in there, Grunge, chinese/american dude. bothered.face.cool.
