I attended my GP module for the first time today - "Prejudice and Discrimination". When we were asked to form our own groups, automatically, as if a blind force was pushing us, the chinese grouped with fellow chinese and the minority groups (malays + indians) grouped together.

The teacher frowned, then smiled. He asked us

"Will someone please tell me, why in a module where you are supposed to put aside discrimination and prejudice, the majority and the minority groups are divided?"

Wanting to get it off my chest for so long, i whined

"Cher. I gave up. Since sec 1, ive been trying to mix with the chinese, but most, i say most, not all, are not willing to mix with me. They tend to forget the presence of the minority group, and start speaking in mandarin. Even after countless reminders, they still do it. Im too tired to even try again. The same thing happened to me this morning. I had to remind my groupmates to speak in English for around 3 times in a 10mins conversation, but alas, the conversation still started and ended in Mandarin. It pisses me off."

The chinese teacher held a surprised look on his face, turned grim, and said

"I agree with you."

Whilst on the bus with Shafiah to return home, we sat in the middle portion of the bus. At the back, a group of anak abu Malay lower sec students from Jurong Secondary sat and were making a helluva noise. The way they spoke, it was as if the bus was 100m long and they wanted to communicate with the driver.

Now that wasnt the main point. No, that wasnt. Halfway through their loud mindless banter revolving mat and minah issues (which, if i might add, contained alot of Sial and words to that effect), they noticed Shafiah and I, the JC students sitting upfront. Then one guy raised his voice and said shouted (in Mat malay language, of course)

"Ah JC students sey! You think you JC you so big ah sial?"

That, and of course with a series of expletives and phrases which i can't understand. STEREOTYPES! Bloody nuggets. I still dont understand to this day why students from poly and ite hate (discriminate) students from JC. Yah, so we entered JC. its just another school what! Another institution! I dont go around with my nose high up in the air and making fun of all of you! I have friends from poly AND ite. So what right do you have to say that i think im big?

Bloody stereotypers. Thinking of them make my blood boil. C'mon lah! If you want to criticise me please at least have some evidence. BAH! *grrrrr*
