Miss Sunshine.. no more. Not for today anyway. I got attacked on campus little more than an hour ago. A black ford focus drove in the opposite direction when yl and i were walking towards the International Office and the guy on the passenger seat rolled down his window and whacked me hard on my arm with a rolled rubber car mat. My reaction was a wee bit too slow. couldn't have ducked much anyway.. my walking speed versus the car's speed, my state of unguardedness versus their intentions, my FACE.. maybe? versus their rascist habits. I was just. shaken. for awhile. His eyes had an ugly glee to them, and mine was just of pure shock and anger. Even before he hit i think i screamed out.. but i dont think i should repeat what i shouted.
The little good twist was that seconds later i spotted a security van, and we stopped the driver and told him about the incident. the black ford still lingered around some distance away, and we asked the estate manager in the van to follow the ford and see where they would go. He came back awhile later because the bunch of hooligans had driven out of campus, but got their license plate no. That number is now recorded in my phone. We reported it to the international office, and hopefully something could be done. Will be making a police report later. I do hope these villains get caught.
Did i mention the egg incident and water shooting incident? the former, i don't know if it's anything personal.. but the remnants of it are still stained on my window pane. The latter, i was walking home with A and another japanese friend after latin and ballroom class when they again shot us with water from a moving car. What a joke. Good-for-nothings.
I thought to myself just now, so. It's finally happened to me. the first two incidents somehow didn't feel as bad to me as this one. Hm, actually the egg incident really got me worked up the other time. Maybe because this time i feel real, physical pain. My right upper arm is now bruised (aww.) but hey :) don't be too worried or over-concerned, cos it's not too big a blue-black.
I just wonder, what are we Chinese to them? Is Bristish really a tolerant society, or are we still not much better than the time when "no dogs and chinese allowed"?
ai, but no lar. I know of so many other really nice british people. it's just down to how unfortunate one is to meet the minority hooligans.
