new layout. something is wrong with the wishes link. since I suck at all these IT related stuff, I will just let it be. but if anyone wants to help satisfy my wishes, just ask and I'll gladly tell! (:

oh yes, today is women's day!!!
so happy women's day!proud to be one (:

you know, today at the gym, mei,me and this other lady were talking. we were talking about the difference between co-ed schools and single sex schools. since, I was in MG for 10 whole years, I naturally supported single sex schools. there is a whole lot of difference. after coming to jc, I still think being in a single sex is way more fun. ( yes, other people have their different opinions)

Being in an all girls school for 10 years of my life has taught me to be more independent. like when I went for OBS sabah ( we had to go with all the other schools. it was a mixed camp, like not all girls lah.) I couldn't stand the fact that the other girls in my group were so dependent on the guys to do every single thing. I went to OBS singapore with MG and we had no guys, we did all the stuff by ourselves, so why must it be different at sabah!? it was very sexist. when we went for the homestay, the guys slept while we, girls had to cook. how traditional!!the guys also refused to carry the pots and pans. annoying!in the end, carried the pots and the pans. shouldn't have, cause I kept slipping down the muddy hill and everytime I fell( which was like every 10minutes) there was this cling clang noise which followed. anyways, I was just pissed off by the fact that the stupid guys in my group were so sexist. I don't see many differences in guys and girls ( ok, apart from the physical appearances,there maybe other minor differences too.) but girls aren't inferior to guys! you don't need guys for every single thing you know!

like, the guys carrying the girls handbags thing. if your bag is so heavy, that you can't carry it yourself and actually need a guy to carry it, then why carry it out in the first place right!? sickening.

I guess its like after being in an all girls school for 10years, coming to a co-ed school is indeed a cultural shock. like in the beginning, when 2 of my friends ( one guy and a girl. I shan't say who, but I think they might remember it.) and I went out, the girl expected the guy to go pay for us. WHY!?why should he do that?!we are all students, we are all friends, why must we make someone pay for us? in the first place, he didn't offer to pay ( I don't see why he should pay) so why make him pay right? sigh.

I dislike all this double standard-ness. it is especially evident in indian families ( or maybe, it is just my grandmother and aunt :P ) my grandmother was quite unhappy that I was out quite late ( it was only a rare rare rare time) but she doesn't mind my cousin( GUY!!!) staying out so late. hello!?is it any safer, just because he is a guy!? guys too get raped and kidnapped and what not.

sigh, I just feel that because we are girls, it doesn't mind we are inferior.why should we limit ourselves? come on, stand on your own two feet, you don't need a guy to do every single thing for you!!!!!
