russian teacher Vs chinese apek….
say there’s a quarrel between my favourite russian teacher and some chinese apek whom i dunno on the street, regardless of who is right…and to base solely on emotion and instinct, which side do u think i would stand on??
the answer is my russian teacher.
no i’m not pro- communist…
i just think that relationship between 2 person should be individual, not based on which race is he/she from….
….just like how i am closer to to my malay friends in my group than other chinese which i seldom talk to here…and in case of conflict, of course i will help my malay friend first….
it is of course convinient to group the ppl with the same race and skin color together….but it’s not practical at all….we are who we are because of we do….it’s not printed in the genes that one race is more stupid than the other…or inferior….or bornt to be slaves for another race….it’s rather an acquired skill and ability….
although statistic might show some race are more wealthy, smart and hardworking….(or otherwise)…it should not be a guideline to judge ppl by first impression…
just like you don treat all ppl with headache with the same meds : u have to find the underlying cause and individual tolerance to the drugs u are giving….
"chinese are good in maths"
i can say my maths is not superb la….but boleh tahan lo….but my fairly good result in math is not because i am a chinese…but for the obvious reasons…i work for it….and i am taught right..
grouping or labeling the ppl with similar traits is convinient, but at the same time it burries up the unique personality of each individual…
in my batch of jpa scholars….there are 5 of us chinese…me and the other 4 girls…well….we are always grouped together when it comes to doing work for msian night….or any other events which involve all the msians….or when passing msg….they(mereka yang berkenaan) will inform one of us and assume that we will tell the other 4….
don get me wrong….it’s an honour to be put together with 4 pretty ladies….but can’t these ppl see us as individuals rather than just " that bunch of 4th year chinese jpa scholars"?
i would like to be introduce as " this is ng khai lip….he is a 4th year senior….he is…blah blah blah……" and finally to slot in between the conversation " oh and btw, he is a jpa scholar…"
….rather than : this is a jpa scholar…his name is ng khai lip….
it’s true that 5 of us hang out at times….but that doesn’t give anyone the right to label us as an unseperable groups…we would like to work with other ppl when it inolves the whole community….if only given chance…
i once heard a comment which i find rather funny….: "oh ya la…..jpa scholar ma….of course smart….we are oni private students….slow abit…."
it’s as if we gain super power after getting that scholarship…having a boost of IQ or something…well, i should say that if u think i am smart, then fine, i’ll accept it….but i am smart first….then oni i get the scholarship…..not the other way around….
if u think u are stupid because u did not get the scholarship….well, you should know that u are stupid, regardless of whether you get it or not, that not gonna change….there’s no legendary boost of IQ in that scholarship package…
there’s a chinese saying that goes like : " one has to first look down on himself first in order for other ppl to look down on him" if u have no self esteem in yourself….there’s no way other ppl is going to look at u higher than u look at urself….
oh and back to the chinese apek : if he is the apek that sells wan tan mee and always give me extra chilly….then i might consider helping him instead
