Things I Can’t Do
but should be able to do.
There are a couple things that I’m not quite sure how to do. Well, there are quite a bit. But some of those, I’m not sure why I CAN’T do it. I should be able to, but I can’t. WHY WHY WHY?!
Folding Egg Rolls Correctly
No, I’m not wallowing in my grief due to lack of asianness. I’m wallowing in my grief due to not having dexterity and not being able to do something as good as my little sister. My sister owns at folding her eggrolls, whereas mine are chubby and lumpy and lopsided. It’s just not pretty and not fair. Then when I go to fry them, they fall apart.Flipping Omelets
So I guess I’m just culinary inept. I have NEVER been able to do this, and I have always wanted to. On the same scale, I haven’t ever been able to make perfect pancakes, since they also require flipping. So much difficulty. I guess as a housewife, I’ll be serving lox for breakfast.Dishes
Actually, I’m good at cleaning dishes. It’s just loading the dishwasher that’s a problem. Back at home, we have a whole bunch of mismatched tableware, so none of it fits together. So it’s like playing fcking tetris with the dishwasher. Not fun at allllllll.Spelling “Opportunity”
For my entire life, I’ve spelled “opportunity” like “oppurtunity.” It wasn’t until I actually payed attention to my spell check instead of clicking correct all that I realized I was spelling it wrong. And yet still, I cannot spell that word without spell check. Good thing Firefox adopted spellcheck.Looking “Viet”
I’ve been here for two and a half months. Only one person could guess that I was viet, and even he wasn’t sure. Everytime, it’s “You’re Chinese, right?” Nooooooooooooooooooooooo. And last time I went to a Viet nail salon, those bitches talked shit on me. Yay, for family friends who employ those bitches.Staying Awake in Class
I try and try…. wait, I know why I can’t. Never mind.
Unhooking a Bra with One Hand
Honest to God, I don’t know how to do this. I feel like I should be able to, with my six years of bra wearing. When I first saw it done, I was so amazed. I literally stopped mid-foreplay and asked, “How do you do that?!” He laughed, taught me, and I still failed. I just don’t understand.

folding eggrolls is easy. it’s all mental tricks.
It depends on the bra with me, lol. Sometimes it’s really easy, and sometimes even *he* has trouble, haha.
flip me an omelet
haha i’m never sure i ever tried with just one hand….lol
No one can ever guess that I’m vietnamese either. I think most people have become too accustomed to the blond-dyed hair, decked out in nothing but ax, bebe or coach gear types so that’s what they believe most Viet girls look like.
no way ur chinese, ha u look pure viet, than again i dated quite a few so i know em. and taking a bra off one handed and being a guy is a specialty, one that i got! mu hahah!
@CuaSo - LOL. yeah it makes me ashamed.
hahahahaha the bra thing is so funny. its ok. i can’t either.
I had to repeat…I thought you were Chinese! But then again there are many Vietnamese and Chinese that look quite similar. There’s always that stereotype though, Chinese owns restaurants, Chiu Chow people own donut shops, etc. It’s funny to see though here in the states…… There are a few people that think I’m Viet just because I say a couple of words in Vietnamese.
i thought you look viet! n_n but it is true.. chinese and viet are very, very often confused. it’s an honest mistake, no?
It’s all good, people don’t guess that I’m Viet either!
lol i know what u mean, im usually confused for phillipino, hispanic, thai, indian… -.-’
i cant flip omlets either. the bra thing is hilarious
unhooking a bra is easy, squeezee and slide!! then BAM, there you go.
egg roll me!
lol i can’t do the bra thing either. LMFAO. it’s so hard.
This is really funny, because I made lumpia last night for the first time, and I’ve already decided I’m not capable of folding them correctly either. I’m not even going to bother practicing. I am, however, pretty damn good at eating them. I can only do the bra thing sometimes haha. When I can I feel all special =).
i can unhook a bra wit one hand…. back in the day.
Flipping Omlets – I try to flip it too and I fail miserably. I just say screw it and make it into scrambled eggs. Ha!~
lmao, someone thought I was viet…I can’t distinguish between chinese and vietnamese. Do you know the difference?
@AndromedaStrain - most of the time, i can tell when a person is viet, not necessarily chinese. but i can only tell someone is chinese because they don’t look like viet, korean, or japanese. haha. the thing is, that people will guess i’m korean before viet, and i’m like, er WHAT?!
from that pic alone, I wouldn’t have guessed you’re Vietnamese either.
What steps have you taken to try and stay awake in class?
@zircle999 - none.
staying awake in class… yep… physically impossible
When flipping omelets, you can use an even larger spatula and also use your other hand to tip the frying pan. Maybe this will help.
that stuff is easyyyy especially the bra HAHA
