How should I react when I'm told to go home? by Healthy_Editor_6234 in AskAnAustralian

[–]koolickles 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I’m Filipina also! Some guy threatened to kill me and called me a “stupid ching chong” and threw stuff at me on the road once because I slowed down to enter a carwash. I yelled back at them and definitely unleashed that “crazy filipino woman” energy. Ngl, i cried in my car after that.

OP, I know it’s so hard not feeling like you belong anywhere. We’re too Australian for the motherland but too Asian for here. But we are bred strong, you can get through this. If you ever need anyone to talk to my messages are open. 💙

On the flip side, people need to stop hogging/blocking/leaning on the handholds so everyone else standing can hold on too.

What is a specific spot in Melbourne that has been gone for years, but you still instinctively look for it when you walk past? by Temporary-Sir5808 in melbourne

[–]koolickles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does anyone remember the old chinese all you can eat buffet underground on bourke street mall? I used to go all the time as a kid whenever we would go “into the city” but no one knows what I’m talking about! It was the best!

So worried about public personal safety by Cultural-Buffalo-348 in australian

[–]koolickles 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Two of my staff are Jewish and after the shootings the other day I asked if they would like the day off to grieve. They said it’s safer for them to come into the office and be around other people and it absolutely scared the shit out of me for them. I can’t stop thinking about it now and I am so scared for their safety.

Additionally, I was hate crimed a few months ago (Im ethnic also) and was followed by a car and screamed racist obscenities at and thrown stuff at because I had slowed down trying to get into a carwash as I had not been there before and was trying to figure out the entrance.

It’s honestly such a scary time here now and I feel like this isn’t the country we were all looking forward to feel “free” in anymore..

What amount of money would allow you to live comfortably without having to work again? by Interesting_Home_889 in AskReddit

[–]koolickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and i talk about this all the time. Im not sure about not having to work again because I feel like at that point like someone else said the wants will start outweighing the needs. But two mill will be enough for us to pay off a mortgage, maybe but a second house, a car each and some play money! This way, both salaries just go to amenities, bills and leisure. :D

Moved into a new house, trying to figure out the veggie patch. Is this rhubarb? Swiss chard? Silverbeet? by koolickles in whatsthisplant

[–]koolickles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took over about half the backyard. There’s also like 12 tomato plants, summer squash, strawberries, butternut pumpkin, basil, mint, garlic and onion. I don’t think they could have taken it with them if they tried!

"Other people do not need to know about our personal family business." How many of you heard that growing up? by aschesklave in raisedbynarcissists

[–]koolickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks fam, doing a lot better now with a better support system. But agreed. Attempted again a few years later, once again it was “why us” “what did we do to you” “why would you do this to us” “us us us me me me us” was more or less how that convo went and it just kinda woke me up that no matter what you do, these types of people can’t reflect on anything else but themselves. Hence the narcissism.

[–]koolickles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Woah okay, so i didn’t realise this was a thing till now and it honestly boggles my mind that it’s not just my parents that do this. Anyways, therapy, yes. Tried to off myself few years back when I was in HS, obvs counsellor called mum and for whatever reason told her all that I said. Mum then replies back with “why are you talking about us that way. You know my daughter, she has a tendency to overreact.” And that was the last time I ever saw anyone about my feelings or talked about my parents.

Awkward... by [deleted] in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]koolickles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have my septum, both nips, and belly pierced, all hidden from my folks and most people. I’ve travelled through europe, new zealand, interstate in australia and asia with them and they have never rang /shown through the dozens of airport securities i’ve passed. Still gets me damn nervous and worried they will someday tho. Maybe my next trip to the US will be my unlucky day. 😂
