Had been a long long time since I last blogged. Guess i have been missing out much. No, I am not That busy despite the multiple deadlines to meet. Neither am I stressed over work or studies. Instead, I am upset by the way foreigners view Singaporeans. Malaysians, India, Thailand and Chinese. It's depressing to know that we are so disliked by Asians. I kept figuring what is wrong with us. There may be a difference in culture but how different could it be, considering us living so near each other. Are we really arrogant or are they simply unknowingly jealous of us? If we do appear rude or arrogant, I am sure it's because of our inability to express ourselves. As the in between of both Chinese values and an americanised society, neither are we too hypocrite to smile but harbour thoughts or mentally scan through your History nor are we too frank or rude to show our behaviours. What is wrong with that? As a result, we are the one getting IT. There is a recent news about Malaysians snatching some freebies and they were potrayed in the positive light. If we, Singaporeans do that, then we are considered kiasu. And the Chinese from China, they pushed us out of queue when buying a ticket or collecting a goodie bag. Why didn't anyone highlight this? Why are we condemed and stereotyped. Because we are small? So much for equality. Why pick on us if we are that small? Because we are a threat. because of our tight security? because there is no other way to pick on us? Time to use some brains guys, you mothers don't give them to you just for the sake of casting lame accusations. Think twice or give a better excuse next time if you think that our straight fowardness affects your lives and will change your life drastically if we exist in the world. Why not think about your own faults before following the crowd and pointing your fingers at us? Is that a way to become westernised too? Really, think over it... think carefully and admit it, we all have our flaws.
