reception

i'm blogging in school! have reached school very much earlier ytd and today. i like school early in the morning cos there's nobody around and you can do whatever you want, sit at whatever table you like. heh.

anw just wanted to blog about what i was thinking about on my way to school just now.

i was thinking how as people get older, we become selective about who we get near to. somehow, we have a higher chance of discriminating people based on their colour, religion, race, looks, the way they talk, the way they present themselves, etc. like there's a certain type of people whom we will embrace and feel like getting closer to, but there's also another type of people whom we, whether sub-consciously or not, avoid dealings with.

i was just looking at how a young caucasian girl being very close to her asian domestic worker. i remembered myself being very close to my maid(s) in the past. like somehow when we're younger, we're more receptive to the people around us. we're less selective as to the people we approach. we're more trusting of people. we're less critical about people around us.

even though as a young kid, i was very dumb and clumpsy, i was stattering even at the age of seven, i was wearing oversized and rubbish stuff on me and look so unglam.

but at least i was more innocent. sigh.
