its really starting to piss me off...
today it was the 1st time spoke to Mr Teo Tze Wei. the first thing he said to me was "you arent local. are you?" and that was the last straw that broke the camel's back (omg i used and idiom). the straw before this came from Ms chua who asked the same thing yet more crudely and accusingly " Are you sure you are local?" (that was during my H3 research interview and she made me look as though i faked my particulars)
sometimes i think people can really be too judgmental. how can they determine one's locality by how one speaks? i have friends that speak english like the british do but they are still Singaporeans.
so what if people are not local? should there be a difference in the way we view them? why is there a need to distinguish people from foreign lands? should they not be given the same chance to prove their worth?
"If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?" - Shakespeare - Merchant of Venice.
aint that all so true? arent they all the same? humans after all-sharing the same emotions. why is there a need to distinguish?
