Asians

Don't you think that us, Chinese-ish Asians are so.. ugh! This applies to alot of people, probably me too. We always like to compete with people. I think that this comes from jealousy. We get envious that the other person might be better than us that we try and compete with them, pushing ourselves more and putting ourselves more out-there. Yea, you might say that this is a good thing, but to some degree it's ridiculous. What's wrong with us? Can't we just push ourselves without being jealous over nothing, trying to compete with someone who isn't even aware of our efforts. This comes from us not having accepted the position we ourselves are in, what level we are on.

I believe that (excluding languages), all countries' education is at the same level. There is no 'Malaysia's Maths and Sci is so tough', 'Australia's Maths is so easy, at such a low level' etc. At some point, the level is going to turn out the same. Maths is maths, ultimately it's the same. Sure you might learn it a step faster in this country than in that, so what? Ultimately it's the same! In the end you'll reach the same finishing line more or less! Don't assume, because it makes an Ass out of U and Me, if you get what I mean.

That phrase is so true!

And I also don't like some of the Asians in some of my classes. What's wrong with them? So racist! There's a guy of colour in our year and he keeps to himself alot. And sometimes they run out of seats and there's only one seat left next to him in the 'Asian side of the room' (generally the locals sit at the back and the Asians sit in the front) and the Asians go (in Mandarin), 'Oh.. Ah Beng (random name), now you have to sit next to the Fei1 Zhou1 ren2! Hahahahaha.' Like.. what rubbish is this? Or sometimes the person who has to sit next to the guy will say 'Aiya, being forced to sit with the Fei1 Zhou1 ren2 now.. What should I do?'. Sheesh, seriously! It's not like we've never been discriminated before, who are we to treat other people like that? So crappy, puts me to shame that I'm the same race as them.

And there's another thing. I found out today that one of my friends (what is a friend?) is half-colour blind. I think. I'm pretty sure, but she could always be playing me. She said she could only see some colours and didn't know whether I was wearing the white shirt or the blue shirt (both are uniforms). She said everything is just greyish, so she said that text books which are in black and white only are so much more comfortable to look at.

I've thought about colour-blindness before (as I think about everything!) after watching Para Para Sakura. Like all other handicapped people, it is so horrible. For colour-blind people, they can't see colours (-.-) and think of this. You ask them 'So you've never seen the sky blue before?'. They say 'What is blue? I've never seen blue before. What is it like?'. Think about that, seriously! They won't even know what colours there are, what colours even are! They won't know what blue looks like, although we see it everyday, they won't know what green looks like, although it keeps us alive. Sigh... I might be wrong, because I don't have much knowledge regarding this issue. I just pray that every handicapped person will be blessed with a talent or skill, gifted to only a few people. And that they will be blessed with one day or a few hours at least, to be able to see the earth in it's full colour, see how beautiful it is.

Appreciate life yo. Seriously. We're lucky and blessed. E-VE-RY-DAY. =)
