Alright, I am giving myself 6 minutes to type out whatever that is in my mind. Should really be writing the report, but I am currently feeling unmotivated and a tad sleepy (woke up early despite sleeping late).

Anyhow, I just realised something about myself which I am not sure I should be happy about. It is the fact that I seriously dislike prejudiced people. Read - racists, people who look down on others, people who, maybe unintentionally, makes others feel inferior or stupid, because of the things they say. You get the idea.

A few days ago, I bumped into someone who made me feel that way, and I totally ignored him. Well, he still came over to talk to us (not really us, since I felt like I was not part of the conversation. Though I've got to admit that it is partly my fault. I had a disinterested look on my face). If given a choice, I would have fled, but there was no way I could leave my friend alone.

And on that very same day, a Singaporean girl in my tute said something which completely left me feeling appalled. We were having a discussion on immigration, and she shared with the class that the Singapore government placed an emphasis on bringing in PRCs, rather than other nationalities from our neighbouring countries. Reason ? Because apparently, according to this dimwit, the government wants to increase the population of Chinese in our country, and also to control the Muslim/Malay population, since our neighbouring countries like Malaysia and Indonesia are Muslim-dominated.

First of all, I wonder what was her point? Obviously, I read in between the lines, and understood what she was trying to imply. And secondly, how could she give such a blatantly non-fact to others in the class? Most importantly, I am so annoyed with myself that I did not refute her argument.

Damn these people.
