Good for you at least u know what ur following and believing in. Many do not really know what they are believing in. I come from a religious family though. My uncle is a monk and thus its pretty much expected that i follow my religious teachings without questioning much But my brother and i turned out to be different, lolx. We question a lot and we love talking on things like ths, on whats logical and whats not. Some times, my extremely pious cousins get sick of trying to brain wash me

Sounds like you have a tight family there. Sounds good.

I do see the "tone" of ppl ask, even if it's in the MSN.
Some gave me the impression that they're hinting "you're wasting your own time" etc

Gotta love it.

why love it?

Tight family? Lolx i guess its far from that. right now its just okay i guess.

Previously it was a bumper car ride - up and down and the rhythm goes on and on, went through tough times as my parents have large families in their own respective sides. Thats why sometimes to me, despite the fact blood is thicker than water, u need water to keep the blood flowing~~friends means a lot to me.

But im very close to my brother as we are twins so that accounts to an extremely tight bro-sis relationship

Atleast they try to hide their condescending tone.

Whoa, intense. That freaks me out. I guess I just like my own space and not have heavy relationships like these.

Jerome - out of curiousity - u chinese?

Nope I'm Malay.

with a name Jerome?

lolx

it makes me wonder, why jerome?

Haha no it is just a nickname. I spent alot of time in the states growing up but I was in Montreal Canada for 2 years also. In Montreal they are mainly French-Canadian and I was new in school and so the teacher asked me to stand up and introduce myself and I did and I told them my name ans they all couldn't say it because they were unfamiliar with Asian names and so this kid joked that they should just call me Jerome Dubois because that was the name of the kid that just left their class and whose place I took in class and it stuck since then. People just called me Jerome and I got used to the name too.

hahahhaa. reminds me of the video in youtube, they can't even pronounce Perodua.

thts like so nice...Guess it would have been a great experience for u being overseas whilst u were young.

Yeah it's very difficult for them. I didn't mind it and after being called Jerome by everyone for so long, I actually am used to Jerome.

My name being freaking simple, is often pronounced wrongly

It is a very good thing to me that I got to see different cultures as I grew up and mix with people in different societies. It helped me to broaden my thinking and perspective.

The bad thing is that you miss your friends there and the places you knew and grew up in. It's difficult finding time out to go back to my old neighborhoods now that I'm working which is very sad for me but I will find time soon.

Do u have regrets of returning to malaysia? or do u wish u could have the best of both worlds

There are pros and cons to both US and Malaysia but I am more comfortable living in the states. I am only here in Malaysia due to our business being here and this is where we make a living so I can't be choosy. I will retire in the states or move back anytime I get enough reasons to. Ever been to the states?

Nopes, would go there sumday i guess...

Usually people are most comfortable with where they grew up as a kid
