our melting pot.
Set of ideologies that our govt has set for us;
# Multi-racialism
# Meritocracy
# Pragmatism
sometimes, the issue of multi-racialism can be really intriguing.
yes, multi-racial, thats us.
But nonetheless, why must our identity cards display race as a form of identity.
the skin colour as a base for division.
If we're so multi-racial, why must this even be considered.
Other countries find it totally weird.
the french connection and the canadians in my socio class found it rather appalling. haha.
Oh well, maybe they're just trying to emphasise the CMIO identification tt we have, the unique culture apparent in law-abiding singaporeans?? My doubt continues to linger.
i neva fail to learn more during this tutorial of mine. it just keeps me so awake with the questions that chee han poses. right engeng? mind-bogling and thought provoking. The only pissant factors are the essays & projects.
But all in all, it is a module worth taking.
I'm feeling all 'soci' now. where is the 'finance' in me? i wonder. *raaa.

it took you three years of uni to figure that out?
i guess it was evident but small details like this were not as emphasised.
just my my written thoughts.
who are u anyway. dun have to be anyonymous.
thanks
its me - you know who.
Hopefully my feelings on your blog dont land me in trouble.
Imagine, you are classed as Indian but you have not spent any great length of time in India, your family has been in a "foreign" country for more than 100 years, thereby proably washing down any genetic things that are appropriate to indian people.
People in Singapore of various races cant believe I am indian due to the way I speak, talk and act. Many people ask if I am a Maori. Indians dont talk to me cos I dont understand their background, yet for official purposes I am indian.
However I have spent 28 years in a non-indian country and developed different values, beliefs and interests.
So what happens to my children - will they be indian even though they would have spent no time in India, will probably inherit values more appropriate to that of a caucasian, yet due to ancestral history will be classified as an indian?
Tell me what you think.
hahahahaha! i know who you are!!!! mr.anonymous/. in singapore, you would still be classified as an indian in ur ic. thats what its like in singapore. we follow the patriarchal system and so u follow what your dad is although u may be married to someone of mixed heritage. The no. of intermix marriages are on the rise but statistics still show only the CMIO identification. oh well, i duno if i have answered u dude but you dun sound too happy about it. cheer up.
haha. add me on msn la.
