**Long entry alert! ** The Minister mentor, Lee Kuan Yew, said -in an interview on CNA- that*
Chinese excel in Mathematics (they top the levels when it comes to mathematics), whereas Indians are good linguistically.
*note: I did not quote his exact words but thats the gist of the whole thing yah?
Okay, just a silly thought.
That means Im not Chinese leh!
Because... 1) im really not good at maths (not trying to be humble here) 2) im better at languages.
Oh no!!! if like that, im an indian larr. Wah, imagine me in an indian costume, dancing to an indian song! can imagine right! waahahs.
that explains my fascination and love for all things indian: from Mrs selva, indian shows and songs (i watched bride and prejudice okay) , my pri sch's talentime performance of Muneru Valiba to my habit of speaking in an indian accent ( vat's vrong vif the vold mama: inside joke). oh, and and.. i used to entertain my family by dancing the indian dance i learnt long ago, singing (or rather screeching) at the top of my voice the lyrics of Muneru Valiba!
wuahahahas. i have come to realise my intelligence: i have cleverly camouflaged myself, made myself a nice new skin to look Chinese, then lived with my fellow companions (also known as my family ), when actually... IM AN INDIAN! i should be living in Little India! Lol.
so sorry, there are times when i cant resist writing silly stuff.
dumdeedum. all i want to say in this entry is: Do not be a racist! hahas. why ah?
Because after i read To kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, i felt very ashamed of myself. i laughed at racist jokes and yes, guilty i am. i still think that its alright to laugh at such jokes, but they should not be taken too far. i am aware that Caucasians laugh( or rather look down ) on Chinese too.
i just feel sad that the world is becoming like this. its okay to make a joke sometimes, but we must realise that what we are laughing at is at the expense of someone, or worse, someone's race/ religion/ skin colour. come to think of it, you wouldnt be very happy when u hear that the Caucasians poke fun at us Chinese for our "Yellow Skin" right? one can only laugh at others and claim its a joke if they do not mind being laughed at. but i cant. i do mind and so, i just want to say two things : 1) go read that book! and 2) i will not be a racist, nor approve of racist stuff ever again. im deeply apologetic that i was one of those mean people, laughing at what seemed to be a harmless joke once.
talking about skins... Hmm. Disappointed i am.
