today, i went to leicester city.. nott the football club, the main city.. when we came out, it was so cold.. because it snowed today in the morning (hahaha.. *laughs at everyone back home*)... yes! it snowed!!! funky eh? i walked around town in the snow.. haha.. cos was on the school campus tour.. so anyway.. went to leicester city and came out of the train station looked around, first store i saw sold guitars... 200 pounds for like a guit which has a super nice wood finish.. natural.. yeah.. don't know what i'll do.. heh.. maybe buy one home.. haha.. so anyway.. walked up and down the street following mum cos she was looking for some RICE... i mean.. who misses rice... certaintly not I.. so anyway, ended eating indian buffet.. was not bad.. at least the guy came and talked to us during the meal, cos we were the only people there.. heh.. why we did not eat anything else? everywhere else was closed for lunch (after 2pm all places close for lunch).. so anyway, i figured something out by now.. mum can't jaywalk for nuts... she is also quite blur.. haha... ok.. so after lunch we walked around town for a while. saw a bookstore called "the works" and went in. the books there were so cheap... its like everything was on discount.. haha.. bought like 6 or 7 books.. William Shakespeare's "romeo and juliet" was only like 49p.. cool eh.. the most expensive book i bought was by Jane Autsten and it cost 1.50 pounds.. haha.. good price eh.. so stayed in there for quite a while.. then went out and started walking into different sports shops.. haha.. heyy.. saw a lot of cool stuff for sale.. haha.. but didn't need to buy anything.. before i get to the meaningful part, let me first say the do NOT ever follow anyone into "Boots" to buy presents for anyone.. mum went in and refused to come out until like close to an hour later.. so bleahx... anyway, down to the part that actually means something.. got dragged around town by mum to look at a pair of boots... she wanted the PERFECT pair.. what a drag.. she walked around and i was her "bodyguard"... how xian.. so, she walks into tonnes of different shoe stores and says:"oh.. i don't like what is for sale.. to see what kind of boots i'm talking about, click "here" its the one in the main pic. those kinda super high boots.. so when we were walking around from shop to shop, i says to her:"look around, do you see the kind of boots the ppl here wear? there's a reason why the shops don't sell the "PERFECT" pair of boots... so we went into another store and another store and blah and blah.. and i stayed outside and waited in the cold cos i was so tired of going into a store, taking off all my outer clothes and putting them back on when i came back out.. i was outside one store for pretty long a time and i was observing the people (yes, something i picked up when i go out and do nothing..) the general public in England is quite ok, but i was looking at the clock tower, and as the time drew to 5pm, the sky is already very dark.. most of the young brits, prolly my age and above to about 20-21... something like that... they are like all punks.. not really say punk-punk lah. but all like just wasting their life, hanging around creating a nuisence *bleahx dunno how to spell* in public.. there were like 20 to 30 of them and they were in the middle of the town square shouting and screaming at the top of their lungs.. guys and girls.. some youths just walk on by decent.. the more mature ones i suppose.. then i think back.. these people are in their home town and i'm the alien... also, these people prefer indians to chinese.. probally because the chinese do NOT have any PR skills whatsoever.. and are especially rude.. but even then, the chinese are actually a general bit much smarter than the brit population and maybe they're jealous.. so anyway, i was thinking.. back home am i actually like them? i hope not.. but inevitably, WAS i like them? being a public nuisence.. i mean.. they're just behaving how i would if i were at home right? i don't know.. hopefully when i go back, i'll behave more humanly.. sorry everyone.. but now i've seen it with my very eyes... that led to a whole new chain of thought.. (yes, i was outside the shop a long time) all these guys and girls are throwing themselves at each other and hugging (not sure if kissing involved) each other like nobody's business.. holding hands.. hugging in public.. i mean.. all around my age, some younger.. some older.. but generally you get the idea.. is this some customary thing here that i'm just not used to or are all these "boyfriends and girlfriends" all so "shui bian" all so heck care about the meaning of a relationship? and it's not just the trouble makers but even the more decent ones.. maybe it's just a customary greeting between males and females here in this co-ed raised country which i am not accustomed to being brought up in a boys school education all my life.. so anyway.. about the issue of racism.. what's the big deal on all that? why are we asians considered inferior to them whites.. i mean i'll give it to them that most of them are good looking.. but why? is it because of the sterotype that white is beautiful? aren't we all beautiful in God's eyes? I will dare to say that I am beautiful because I am a creation of God.. but i'll give it to them that blue eyes and white skin and blonde, brown or even black hair is a real good combination of looks in the human sense.. but that still does not give them any reason or excuse to treat us as inferiors.. most of the asian population IS actually smarter than all these whites.. i mean look at the "ugliest" people on this earth.. Indians, Chinese.. even us Singaporeans.. (sorry, don't mean to offend anyone here.. but it's the truth) we may not be as good looking as some of these whites, but we sure are heck of a lot smarter... i mean.. i'm to some extent a mix of chinese and malay blood.. so i'm a mudblood (in the sense of harry potty) and some of these euros are like mix of what? german and english lets say.. and they are considered a good looking mudblood while people like me are like mud mudbloods.. no sense right? then the good looking mudbloods not smart and the mud-mudbloods are smarter than them, but that gives THEM bragging rights that the muds are inferior to the "pures"? something's gone wrong somewhere.. so would it help if i change my hair colour to like blonde, go for the michael jacko whiteing treatment, go do my knees so that i'm taller.. wear blue contacts, pierce a few parts of my body, start cursing and swearing like nobody's business.. smoke.. screw around and what? i'll be cool? i'll be good looking? no.. i'll have damaged brain cells and have messed up my life.. what actually makes us inferior to them? i mean.. the chinese people can declare war on the whole world and actually win.. i mean.. why do people eat rice? because 1/3rd of the world's population can't be wrong can they? the middle eastern asian have pretty nice eyes themselves.. the singaporeans and japs are actually quite smart (with the exception of ivan lee the cross between both) i've heard from people who mark o level papers at my school, the best papers marked are from singapore... so why are we inferior to them? it can't be just because of skin colour because to some extent, the northern and the western asians are pretty white... STILL, the "whites" are prejudiced against us.. it could only be because of 1 reason why we lose out to them.. we do not have the PR skills that they possess.. i mean, take for instance at school... back home, everyone is like, i do my own thing, you do yours.. not so here.. they form study groups and share info.. as long as you fit in... so.. it's just a messed up process.... now on to the other thought i was processing (told you i was outside the shop a long time) and this is the part with most of the offensive stuff.. the chinese and other people who come here.. when they learn to speak english, who do they think they are? i mean almost every other word that comes out of their mouth is like, starts with "F" and ends with "K" and has 4 letters.. no more hints needed right.. so the people here are like split into 2 categories.. and i'm talking about the school here.. those who have pierced their ears (for guys) and those who did not.. those who did not, actually behave quite gentlemanly.. but those who pierced their ears are the ones i'm talking about.. and the roughians too.. they are like..... i was eating with some china folks the other day, and they asked me where i was staying.. i pointed upstairs and they were like:"f**k, you so lucky.".."hey, he f**king lucky you know".. then further down it's like "f**k this and f**k that.." they can't even use proper english to converse and they are like using words like f**k and s**t as though they are very cool.. the worst is not yet to come.. i know back home words like such sometimes slip my tongue when i'm talking to my guys right? these people are really really bad... i mean to use such inappropriate language in the presence of a lady delibrately is totally unacceptable.. just today on the tour, vincent, some honky.. was like shooting his mouth away with shawn, a prc... our tour leader was emma, some teacher.. and as the name suggests, she's a female... so on the tour, it was slightly snowing and we were getting wet and all.. sam and i were just walking and chatting with each other in between points.. but at the points, these china people were like having their own ball and shouting and talking while emma was trying to give an explaination of the place.. and it wasn't just the both of them, it was a whole group of like 5.. out of a total of 9 people.. i mean, i felt like turning around and slapping the 2 ring leaders and just telling them to shut up and give the lady some damn respect.. worse still, vincent was smoking on the tour (here, the legal smoking age is 16 but the drinking age is 18.. so you can get lung cancer but can't get drunk.. a lot of people here are going to die of lung cancer at a young age..).. then at one stop, i think it was outside the anglican church, vincent was like:" hey miss!" then emma was like:"emma! don't call me miss.. i have a name" (which i was so totally supportive of.. i wouldn't have minded if she had slapped him right there and then..)he was like:" it's f**king cold." i mean WHAT!?!?!?! to a teacher? not only a lady, but a teacher also.. and he's a new student.. so emma was like:"watch your language!" i mean... WHAT!!!?????!??!??!? i'm really confused.. what has his parents been teaching him... what the heck!! i know i curse sometimes.. but never in front of a lady.. it's basic common sense to have basic respect for a lady... then to make things worse, she's a teacher and she allows you to call her by her first name, emma, and not like miss sjdhsjhs or something like that.. and you go call her "eh miss!" i mean what the heck lah.. seriously... screwed up people.. messed up folks.. from messed up countries.. no wonder the whities consider them inferior... oh well.. nothing i can do except watch and scold them in my mind.. liverpool won today against lutton... guess how? it was like a champion's league final replay.. they were actually losing 3-1 then came back to win 3-5... i mean to even let a team like lutton score 3 against champions league winners in the first place is quite sad lah.. yeah... forgot to say.. yesterday's word was matthew 17 and today's word was proverbs 3.... important verse.. seen in the hall of every ACSian.. "trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge the Lord in all your ways and He will guide you and make straight your paths.." i'm still not used to the rules of the school.. they are so liberal as compared to ACS.. i'm not used to living so slack life... haha.. anyway, it's going to be lights out soon and i still have to use the toilet.. going to london tomorrow so will look for a "i heart london" shirt for sisters.. heh.. it cost 31 pounds.. oh.. that reminds me.. charge the batteries for the camera... oh darn it.. forgot to study today.. heh.... oh yes.. did the laundry today but that's another story for another time.. lights out soon.. still loading photos from digital camera.. miss all of ya.. ok.. check in tomorrow.. yuppx.. goodnight..
