Fair or Dark?

Moments ago, I was browsing through neXus Central after so so long where I came across this article that Siew wrote back in 2005 regarding discrimination towards darker skin women and so on.

I am not being bias or anything just because I am in the darker skin catergory, but I still can't get it what is so special or why are fairer skin girls getting all the attention? No, I am not jealous of them. In fact I don't even like to be fair in the first place and I don't see why is it necessary for girls to spend cash on expensive products just to be fair. I am not here to criticize any fair girls here okay? I am just giving out my point of view, whether you agree or not, it is just my opinion.

According to Siew's article, he listed out three theories:

Theory 1:
"The first one, I stumbled upon at the CNN website. They think that fairness is a sign of the woman's affluence because only rich women were able to stay indoors and away from the sun. An average peasant woman would have to work the paddy fields. Therefore, fair skin became desirable because it proved you were rich. It's something like driving around in an exotic car. Fair skin was a symbol of status."

- I think that this theory no longer applies in our modern era as fair women no longer symbolize status anymore. Not all fair women are rich, and not all dark women are poor. I won't be arguing why fair is bad, I am here to tell why I never like to be fair. Women nowadays are afraid to be under the sun till the extend they will start whining, complaining and worrying about their complexion. Called it a stereotype or whatever, I always have this perception that fair women doesnt like sports. All they do is stay at home, hide themselves away from the sun as far as they can. On the contrary, darker complexion girls is more attractive as they always look like those sunny, healthy kinda girl. I am sure most guys nowadays prefer their gf to share the same hobby as them, go for sports together with them rather than staying at home or dating in shopping malls. :)

Theory 2:
"The other theory may sound a little absurd. We shun dark skin because it reminds us of darkness. Humans will always prefer light to dark because we are more vulnerable in the dark. It could be that somehow, we subconsciously link dark skin to actual darkness."

- Well, I do not have any comment about this. It just sounds so ridiculuous. I wonder if people at this generation still have this thought in their mind. Don't be surprise, many older generations po po and kong kong may have this thought carry from the past generation till today.

Theory 3:
"The last one reason is that people want to be something they are not. They want to be different within the community. That is why Asians want to be fair, Caucasians want to be tanned and the African Americans desire straight hair. "

- I couldn't agree more with this, people tend to be different, people loves changes, people loves to be dramatic, people loves attention! Perhaps this is why Asian always look upon their celebrities who are fair and aim to have their fair complexion. On the other hand, the europeans thinks that tanne skin are stunning and goes for sun bathing every summer or artificial skin tanning. Come to think about it, silly isnt it.

At the end of the day, it is still up to the community to think whether fairer women is more beautiful than darker women. No matter how the dark complexion asian women tries to dress up, in the eyes of men, they will never ever look as stunning as a fair complexion asian women. It is all in their mind, they already set the benchmark that a girl is consider pretty ONLY when they are fair. Accept the fact and you guys don't deny this fact!

Happy Holidays!

Finally, my sufferings ended this evening 5pm. No more exam, no more books, no more online notes, no more scribbled notes, no more headache, no more stress, no more sleepless night, no more rushing for chapters, no more adrenaline rush, no more worries!

Holiday is a good thing for my brain, but I never really like holidays at all. I think I have mentioned how I dislike holidays every single sem, no difference for this either UNLESS there are something interesting that I can do just like the sem break before. :) Anyway, let's hope that my sem break aren't going to be a boring one.. pleaseeeeeee.

Before the sem break starts, mum had already ordered me to clean the house for CNY, do housework, and paint my house! I love painting.. so nevermind la. Hahaa.. but what after that? I usually don't meet my friends during the entire 3weeks. Not to say my friends are evil for not calling me out, is just that it's kinda useless for them to ask me since everytime my answer will be " hmmm i want to go out but i cant la.. parents.. u know.. they doesnt like it ".

Enough of my complains about holidays even before it actually starts. I'm here to wish those who still have their final paper tomorrow "GOOD LUCK!!!" and "Happy Holiday" to everyone! Do enjoy and make full used of ur holiday as much as possible ya. Never be like me rotting at home... oohh... I found one mushroom on my head d... by the end of the third week, my head will be full of mushrooms. Til then, chao!

When MSN Breaks Down..

Lately MSN is getting really annoying............. I dunno what happen with it but all I know is that most of our messages can't get through. Two days back when I was chatting with Kirks, this problem occured. MSN seems to love me so much because all the messages I send managed to be delivered to the recipients. Unfortunately MSN doesn't like Kirks at all and all his messages he sent to me bounced back to him.

Feeling frusfrated struggling to finish up our chapters before the exam the next morning, plus the additional stress coming from MSN which doesn't allow us to chat to reduce our stress level made all of us go crazaaaaaaaay! Hence, Kirk's came up with an idea to chat. :)

Sign language!! :)

Since my messages can get to him, and I do not have a webcam, so this is the ultimate solution for the annoying MSN.

He was trying to say : I wanna kill myself!!!!! Stupid MSN!

This action means "WTF with MSN!!! GRRRR"
About this.. hmmm..

*Kirks eating maggie mee*

Me : Wahhh.. sedapnyaaa... what are you eating?

Kirks : * showing his bowl of Maggie *

Me : What flavour wor...

Kirks : * showing the note above *

" RAMEN. SIAL! SYOK!!!"

and that's how we communicate when MSN being sooo annoying!

Innovation Management

Last sememster during my Innovation Management lecture, my lecturer Dr.David asked us one question.

Dr David : Class, remember, you have to always think outside the box. Now tell me, what can you innovate with a normal plastic bag you got from JJ before I reveal the answer.

Hands after hands flew high up in the air with various answer like...

Student 1 : Errrmm...kite sir! kite!
Student 2 : Sir sir! parachute!!
Student 3 : sir.. tuuu.. you can use to cover your head when going to be sentenced to death. (LOL)

and so on so forth.

While they were discussing about this, I was talking to Lydia, Crystal and Sue May..
Me : Hey.. I tell you one thing la, do you know what I used to do with plastic bags when I was young?
Lydia : errr.. no.. what?
Me : I used plastic bag to make a swimming suit... shy*
Lydia : *burst into laughter* Siao ah you! hahahahaa...
Me : Ya ma.. you just need to cut the two ends of the plastic bag oni.. really leee... serious..

Dr David : Alrite class, all of your answers are not innovative enough! The answer is....

Then he showed this picture below

A swimsuit!!!

LOLX... All of us burst in to laugher especially me!

Me : Oooi Lydia.. see see... I'm that creative when I was young okay.
Lydia : Then why don't you tell out the answer jus now wor!
Me : Siao meh.. so embarassing... hahaha

So that's what actually happened few months back during Innovation Management class and I truely agree that people are more creative when they were younger. All sorts of things can be made by using recycle stuff.

I remembered the first Barbie dress I atttempted to sew was in standard 5 when our Kemahiran Hidup teacher taught us how to sew a dress by using threat and needle la, not by sewing machine. Cool rite. Since that, I've been sewing some dresses for my Barbie :) There was once I do not have any cloth to sew a dress. Being a rebellious girl, I snipped off the cloth of my ribbon hair clip which has the colour blue and maroon, plus the cloth material is those stretchable ones. In the end after an hour or so... TADA...

Me : Mummy!! nice anot nice anot.. I sew one le!!
Mummy : WHere did you get the cloth?!
Me : Errrr....... my ribbon hair clip...
Mummy : HAH! you...
Me : Aiya.. mummy part of the cloth on the clip came of ma, so might as well I used to cloth to sew rite?
Mummy : *swt*

Incredibly, my dress fits my Barbie :) and I'm so proud that Barbie wore my dress. :P :P
