The Life of a Chinese Clown

Ok maybe now is a good time to reopen this bag of shit and start taking things more seriously.

Hopefully starting this up will help me to become more successful in life and in poker

People properly know me better as a joker, never taking things seriously and always messing about.

I think this started when I was a kid at school; I never really excelled at school or was very popular. I was ok at most things in school. I got average GCSEs, A Levels and got 2:2 in my degree. Never played in school teams except rugby ( cos I was a fatty) Never in the top group for any of my subjects. But I always was the best in my average class, also the fastest fatty in PE:)

I believe my upbringing was a bit too relaxed, my parents never really pushed me to excel in anything or pressurised me into anything. But now I am at the age where I have to think about the future, get on the property ladder, settle down and all that boring stuff.

Currently I work in the accounts department for a charted surveyor. I hate it but I need to start somewhere to gain experience. The pay is a bag of shit (£12k) but it brings balance to my degen activities and its prob a good break from grinding poker all the time and makes me realise the value of money more.  The people are very nice there but it makes me cry how some of them are.


I find it very hard to verbalise my thoughts at times so I hope this isn’t too hard to read.

will post more tomorrow night about poker, gym and more about life

Paul - that already seems pretty interesting and I'm keen to hear more.

I do think you can come across like an idiot on the forum (a very harmless and loveable one) but having met you a few times and spoken to you a lot online I know you're not.

Why do you think you weren't popular at school?

Are a lot of your friends irl chinese?
If yes, why? Why are chinese so insular?

I dont keep in contact with anyone from school or uni. maybe my fault for not putting any effort into seeing friends or spending time with them.

dont have many friends but most of them are chinese.

I think chinese are so isolated is because of their upbringing, a lot of parents will not accept ppl who could tarnish their family name such as socialising with other people could spin the rumour mill amongst the community. or your wasting time when u should be studying or practicing their musical instrument.
My Grandma will kill me if i ever got with or marry a black girl.

But generally there are 4 types of chinese
1. BBC( British born chinese) with controlling parents
2. BBC with relaxed parents
3. Overseas rich
4. Overseas poor

groups 3 and 4 generally are the most isolated amongst the chinese. The over seas always stick together because they are too lazy to try and interact in english plus they find it difficult to speak and understand it easily.
The poor overseas ppl are normally there to study and their family has saved up for a long time for there kids to go study in the uk and they dont want to disapoint their parents by failing

group 1
most likely their parents own a chinese/ chippy or a restaurant
They want their kids to do something so they can show off to their friends. Thats why most chinese try learn the piano or violin, go to uni become accountants/doctors

Group 2
are like ppl like me. My family are not ultra sucessful but we are happy but we dont really care about other peoples opinions that much just wanna be self-sufficient. But still fork out for number plates and louis vuitton shit

Its all about status for chinese.


this is all my point of view btw
