 Got myself a job at a Chinese restaurant where the entire staff speaks Cantonese and will feed me on my shifts for free. I feel extra happy because the job qualifications says I have to speak Cantonese and Mandarin (of which I only know the former... in which I can listen better than speak it and use hand gestures a lot), and so the interviewer spoke all in Cantonese and I understood everything and I feel the jubilation of being among my own people. 

It really feels like it's been a long time since I've interacted with folks in my cultural specific group, expecially Cantonese speakers. 

Total family restaurant complete with adorable baby who likes to slap the ground and wiggle his bum in a happy dance. Who also made me pick him up because baby startled to dangle in my hands because apprently I look like an Ayi who will pick him up and put on the booth table. 

I may actually improve my language skills and be among a familiar family unit *sniff* 

And I will eat two meals for free *sniff sniff* So happy. And I will be super qualified on my rent applications because i have additional income \o/
