Okies,came back from gym a while back.. did about 2.5hours today, but more intensive.. man, I'm really really sore this time.. haha. need to intake more meat for protein.Hopefully can go swimming, dint go yesterday.. haha. Anyways, I'm just really pissed right now which is why I wanna blog.
You know after 12years of education, I sometimes really wonder what the education system has taught us in Singapore, especially a subject known as SOCIAL STUDIES. we study all and everything under the sun there is to know especially about racial tolerance and having compromise and accomodation to people who are different and all those stuff... etc. etc. remember in primary school we had to learn the cultures and food of other races. Up till today... whenever I chat with people online, the first question I'm faced with whenever stating I'm a eurasian is "so which part of Europe are you from?"... I mean excuse me!?! Did I say I was EUROPEAN? can't people differentiate.. seriously, okay put that aside, are eurasians born in Singapore not SINGAPOREANS? That just simply means I would have grown up in a culture where perhaps singlish is just bred into us and that simply explains I dont "speak" perfect english, or give the impression that I'm european right? Seriously, I just feel the education system should do something.. about the awareness of EURASIANS in Singapore, it really seems we are the most insignificant race, see I'm not subjecting to any form of racism here.. but doesn't it seem that way. It's always people saying, Chinese,Indian,Malay... very rarely or none at all do you even hear the word Eurasian being mentioned. I really hope to strike some awareness into the Singapore society that Eurasians do exists and we are SINGAPOREANS too, also we do not have the need to speak "perfect" english or I should call it "European" english...
I guess that's about it, although sometimes I really feel eurasians are arrogant.. I dont know, it's just the impression that I'm given whenever I do chat with eurasians online.. It's like most of them feel they are superior as though they are "whites".. I seriously think we should be more humble people. I believe that the percentage of eurasians in Singapore is not very little.. but doesn't it seem that as though in the education system itself, as you rise up to higher levels(or supposedly better ones,no insults whatsoever).. you rarely see eurasians. I'm perhaps the only eurasian in TPJC for my batch that is, I believe I have 1junior whose a eurasian.. but otherwise!?! No one...
Guess that's all for now, might blog later.. Anyways..Attica tonight for 20bucks, anyone interested in going call Natasha at 91447161. Attica's age requirement is normally 21 but for once they're lowering it for this party, so it's really a good opportunity to see how good the club is.. otherwise, you'd have to wait like 3years just to see what the club's like.. haha. okies, that's all!
