Up on a ferris wheel

dream a little dream come true

The centre's going to go under a little 'expansion'. Taking over the space adjacent to the current one. The initial plan was to change location. That location is better, but it's still as small. Making a bold move to take both places at one go now. God bless.. God bless... Don't think God wants to bless me though..cos I haven't been a good girl, not in his standards anyway..

I.... Miss Froggy-in- her-well these days...just read about the racist bloggers.. I am really against people making racist comments, I tell u.. They really do not understand the dire consequences of their actions. They do not understand that their little action and words can have the "POWER" to stir up great trouble like racial tension and all. It just takes a few of those being insulted to get offended to cause great riots or... *shudder** mimic terrorist acts.

I so like my Malay and Indian students. They are so friendly and polite. I love the little China boys too. Even though they are real real disobedient many a time.. I still cannot resist falling for their child likeness, their capability of expressing themselves very well (in chinese) and their imagination. The Singaporean children can't quite express themselves, both in english and chinese. They can't string sentences properly both in english and chinese. They have rather limited vocabulary to use too.

Whatever it is.. I get very annoyed with people make racist remarks in public such as hawker centres or buses etc.. Do they think their words are really inaudible? BE racist all you want, but keep it private please... Some people are too arrogant. They don't know what trouble they are inviting. AAarghh.. PEa brains

A lot of it is due to our upbringing I guess... there has always been very little social interaction between the races. I don't know how all the racial harmony days and programs in school work, but what I see is always people of the same race sticking together.

Its not surprising that many of our generation are 'unknowing' racists. I've seen much worse behaviour in the army too.

Interesting that you raise this issue. Sometimes, we do things without being aware of the consequences. My Malay colleague was upset with the Fa kueh that the manager left rotting in the pantry. No one else noticed because the tradition's so entrenched in our Chinese culture but to her, it was just gross.
