stereotyping.why do we stereotype? given examples as i discuss with denise now, in njc, as well as china scholars. people think because njc is one of the top schools, students here are therefor smart. and smart means geeky, and that would mean undesirable and ugly. definately a fallacy. why can't there be a smart yet good looking guy? and the china scholars, people would think of them as ultra smart because they get good grades and top the class most of the time, but don't they think of how hardworking they can be? just to get those results? and then they are undesirable as well because they don't look that good. and thus, guys from other jcs are cuter, just because they spend more time with their looks than their books.

well.enough said.

phuket was nice, just not as nice as i hoped it would be.just like most other shopping trips, my mom was more interested in the culture, looking at the places, whereas i would have rather spent the three days at the beach and relax.not to mention i finished a whole book on the second day, which i only started on the first. a bit disappointed in myself for chickening out on the parasailing, but there were other factors that convinced me not to other than my acute fear of heights.

aleee's starting to increase training.that's nice.although i doubt i'll be able to attend some of it. the chalet and camp sounds fun, i would definately like to be able to run with them, and stop sitting on the bench. oh wells. sooner or later.

yu sheng : well i did buy tickets to musical evening without much persuasion from joyene, but at least i feel less guilty leaving training (:
