the best xmas gift i've ever

so this year i've been brushing up on my mandarin because i wanted to reconnect with my first language! (i'm Taiwanese) and since my gf likes learning languages too i thought "hey if i can teach her some here and there it will help me study too" and she can also teach me spanish (shes's Puerto Rican and Bajan) it started off simple like we would listen to daddy yankee, willie colón, and i put her onto some taiwanese artists. it then moved to reality game shows haha like she watches this one chinese show where they take celebrities and put them in an "escape room" with diff clues and themes and puzzles and they gotta find everything to escape or convict the right person haha, very helpful in learning everyday phrases and such

and i never would've thought that she would ever be able to find me something like this. she isn't that much into clothing/fashion but always sees me on depop and comes with me to thrift stores bc i love hunting for cool and special pieces at a bargain and of course she knows i love Stüssy😁😁

i dont even know where to start bc this crewneck is so awesome, it's a bit thicker and warmer than the current Basic Stüssy Crew $120 on their website.

The embroidery is the coolest part bc it literally says Stüssy in chinese😂😂😂well lemme just break it down：

師 makes the (S) sound in this context and means teacher/just someones last name. like how Miller is a common last name but it doesn't literally mean they work at a mill😅

杜 makes the (TÜ) sounds in this context and actually pronounced "du" in chinese. it's a very that means to stop/its also a surname.

西 makes the (SSY) sound in this context and is pronounced "xi" or just say the letter C out loud. And it means west. like the direction🧭

sorry for the ramble but i just wanted to share with you all as this was a very very meaningful gift to me after a really rough holiday season and kinda mentally depressing year. I'm gonna leave the past behind and keep my head up so i can make 2025 a great one!! i hope everyone had a great holiday season and a happy new years to you too✨🎉🥳🎊🍾
