Going back to 2002…
Hey sweetie, it’s me. You. 39 years old.
What?! Omg what’s my life like?!
Um… you’re gonna marry a guy a few years younger than you…
Oh? Ugh…? I can’t imagine that right now…
What nationality is he?!
He’s… Australian citizen…
Aussie?!
His parents are not Aussie…
Oh? Asian?
Yes…
What kind of Asian?
The kind that has their own group at school. You don’t even talk to any of those girls. You hang out with the Taiwanese, Hong Kongers, even some friends are Japanese? Indonesian?
Yeah? Even mainlanders…
😱 There’s only one group left via process of elimination?!?!
Yeah…
I’ve never even met the boys’ school equivalent of THAT GROUP! They’re more closed-in than the RUSSIANS! THEY JUST KEEP TO THEMSELVES! I wouldn’t even be able to name you ONE classmate?! I only know their faces as “the other Asian girls who stick to themselves and don’t hang out with ANY other Asian girls!!!”
Yeah… they were a mysterious little group… not that friendly to anyone else but themselves… 😅 Maybe they were shy girls? Let’s still give them the benefit of the doubt…
Even in the boarding house?! I feel like we don’t even cross paths?! Sometimes I forget they even exist as my classmates!!!
Yeah… but you love their food… well, you’ll grow to really, really love it!!!
They all ONLY date each other! The girls from their country date the boys from their country of the boys school. They never mingle with other Asians! They’re like in their own Slytherin house!!!
Yeah… that’s probably changed amongst the schools by 2025…
We all know each other — Taiwanese, Japanese, Hong Kongers, Chinese mainlanders, every other Asian girls friends group, can and does mingle with the other Asian boys of the equivalent countries except THEM…
Yes, but you’re gonna have a friend from their country by uni, ok?!
What uni do I go to?!
Unimelb…
Do I meet my husband there?!
Sort of…
… I don’t speak their language.
It’s okay, he doesn’t expect you to.
Someone spread a rumour that all the girls from their country got plastic surgeries in Year 10! They all turned pretty by Year 11!!!
You’re just exaggerating, that didn’t actually happen! The rumours, yes, but that’s not what happened!!!
But even the Aussie girls got nose jobs, it’s not that uncommon…
Yes, and you got braces. You’re no different.
I really thought I would marry a Taiwanese guy tho…
Yeah, that’s not happening, sorry… 😅
Ugh?! What else am I supposed to do?
Nothing! Just enjoy your life. Things will unfold organically… ups and downs, but eventually you’ll realise he’s your Soul Mate and it’s meant to be…
Lolollll 😅😅😅 I find that hard to believe…
Yeah, you won’t get it yet until well into your late-30s…
WTF so long??!?!?!?
Yeah… 😅🤭
