I AM

The last few days, there were so many words like racism, sexism, sizeism (fat). My question, are we not racist? not sexist? not sizeist? the things we do, we say and we react shows all that. My personal believe that there is no one who is not racist, not sexist and sizeist. We make judgement whether we like it or not.............the song from Avenue Q speaks a lot and would like to share with you guys.

Everyone's A Little Racist (Avenue Q)

Princeton: Say, Kate, can I ask you a question?
Kate Monster: Sure!
Princeton: Well, you know Trekkie Monster upstairs?
Kate Monster: Uh huh.
Princeton: Well, he's Trekkie Monster, and you're Kate Monster.
Kate Monster: Right.
Princeton: You're both Monsters.
Kate Monster: Yeah.
Princeton: Are you two related?
Kate Monster: What?! Princeton, I'm surprised at you! I find that racist!
Princeton: Oh, well, I'm sorry! I was just asking!
Kate Monster: Well, it's a touchy subject. No, not all Monsters are related. What are you trying say, huh? That we all look the same to you? Huh, huh, huh?
Princeton: No, no, no, not at all. I'm sorry, I guess that was a little racist.
Kate Monster: I should say so. You should be much more careful when you're talking about thesensitive subject of race.
Princeton: Well, look who's talking!
Kate Monster: What do you mean?
Princeton: What about that special Monster School you told me about?
Kate Monster: What about it?
Princeton: Could someone like me go there?

Kate Monster:Well, you're a little bit too.
Princeton:I guess we're both a little bit racist.

ONE LIFE REVOLUTION

Sorry gang for not updating. Pai seh Pai seh...was extrememly busy last week.

One of the reason was because of my involvement in an exhibition called One Life Revolution (OLR) organised by World Vision Malaysia. Now this is not like your ordinary exhibition where there are bantings and you just go around and see see. No No. It's very very different. OLR is actually a great way and unique way for an exhibition. For one, it's a maze and you get to walk in the shoes of a HIV victim. It's really really moving as the stories are real life stories and it could happen to anyone of us. The exhibition also deals with the issue of hate. For one, I know that I have some new insights on the life of a HIV victim and it helps me to know how they feel.

This whole exhibition is runned by World Vision staff members and also a huge amount of volunteers. I am very glad to be able to help them and actually looking forward to help them more. Their next stop is Kuantan, JB and back in KL by December.

I would like to thank Simon for the opportunity and also to my new found friends, Shu Yi, Ching Hui, Ayn, Steven and Jenna, the World Vision Malaysia staff. To Chris, Jackie, Alex, Wan Ye and many others, so glad to have worked with you guys.

You have One Life, Do Something :)

1) T-shirt: Mum bought me a t shirt with the words 'As for me and my house, we'll serve the Lord!'. The writings were all hand made by my mum's friend. It serves as a reminder to me that no matter where I go or where I'll be, I'll continue to serve the Lord.
