Whee~
Movie Marathon was fun alright, a pity it didn't last long. I'd call it INSTALLMENT ONE of the entire marathon..haha. Armed with chips and apple juice from Tanglin mall, we headed down to Liling's house. I think we watched four movies at one go: Never Been Kissed, Mulan 2, High School Musical and of course, the very own self-produced Laurel v.s Ah Fei showdown! Haha..
Anyway, something happened yesterday made me reflect quite a bit on myself. Okay, lots of things happened, but this one in particular. I don't quite know what went wrong with me. I'm beginning to feel that sometimes my sub-concious is taking control of my concious. Which basically means, I say things that I didn't know why I did but end up saying it because the reason's already in my heart.
So, here's how it is: Yesterday, on the way to Liling's house, we met two caucasians outside Tanglin-a lady and a man. The lady appeared shock that the five of us were speaking English amongst ourselves and pointing at us, she exclaimed: "You speak English? Great! Can you tell me where Botanic Gardens is?" (or something like that) and "Good job! Thanks!" after we told her.
After she left us, guess what I did! I don't know why I was so agitated by the "You speak English?!" phrase, an outburst of "What do you mean we speak English? Of course we do! H-e-l-l-o? Singapore is a multi-racial society and the only reason why we ALL can communicate with one another is none other than the 'power' of English!" just came out. Yes yes..I said that. Bleah. Then, my guilty concious thingy pricked me. I felt really bad for saying that, especially when Aly said she thinks that lady heard us. Okay, me.
Well, thinking back right, I probably didn't really want to say that out loud, but I did because I thought it was mean of her to demean Singaporeans just because we aren't like them. And you know, the word Asians don't really form a great impression in their minds. Yea. Maybe I was being over sensitive. But all the same, I've learnt from it. Now you see, how small things can bug me like that.
As requested, personal messages eh? Haha. Cindy and your great idea.
Cindy: Maes??!! I see, you made urself a mouse too? So we can communicate eh? Haha..OK wait, I ain't a mouse! Stop it cindy! Look what you are transforming me into!! Bleah!
Kellie: Yay! Lavish your present with love! Got regular inspector's checks, okie! Haha..
