Stereotyping Jumper-wannabe.

I find it funny that everyone thinks its weird when i said i want to go Angkor Wat. Even my mom was something along the lines of "You want to go Angkor Wat??" with a surprised look, when i told her i want to go there. Amane even took it a step further and ask me "Why do you want to go to Angkor Wat?" with an amused expression.

Honestly, i don't really know how to answer her... so i replied the fact remains its a very cool ancient sorta-ruin thingy place... one of the wonders of the world, and yeah... erm... *silence*...

Heck, do i need a reason to want go somewhere (= =")?

But i guess its fair, there should be a reason or explanation for everything. Like when you enter the toilet, there'll usually be a reason per the entry don't you think?

I mean, it's not like me, someone who can just randomly do something without explanation.


But typically me, i can't help but to think of how i'm stereotyped as a certain-certain type of person, that when i act out of that "stereotyped-norm", its weird, strange and erm... weird?

I don't like it, but i thought back, hey, i do occasionally stereotype others as well, though i try not to, so isn't it just fair that others stereotype me as well? Anyways, its a very normal thing isn't it?


I remember that stereotyping is something i learn from ICPU =D! From my "so-called-Psychology" class (actually its NOT psychology; its just a study of the society and individuals etc... and that i forgot the subject's name so... yeah)! We are taught to differentiate between stereotyping and prejudice, and that its not exactly a good thing etc etc (though stereotyping is of course better than being prejudice, but... Pride and Prejudice anyone (^^ )?).

So instead of saying "All Chinese's maths are good", where you'll probably be lambasted for stereotyping... you should instead say "Most Chinese are good in maths... except eiko because she's retarded".
There, doesn't that phrase sound better?

Because my math really do suck, despite my A1 in SPM Modern Maths, so i admit it.


Back from the bush...
I WANT TO BE A JUMPER!!
Who doesn't honestly? (Mentioned here before)

Because last night's yumchar session made me realize there's SO MANY places i want to go to! That today, i listed down the places that i want to go to plus the reason (hello hypocrite)! Then for each place i rate it out of 5-stars, just to see how badly do i want to go to one place as compared to another!
It makes it easier to see the priority when choosing a place as well!

And yes, to top of the list... the place i want to go to most (with an over-rating of 5-star)... is...
.

THE BEACH!!
Actually, its more likely the OCEAN lar =D!

Hah, you thought i'm going to say Korea right? Sorry to burst your bubble (i only gave it 4-stars btw)! Know me better next time!~


I would love to say i was born for the ocean, so yeah, i'm saying it:
I was born for the ocean =D!

8 more days!

Hope for the best!
One thing why i don't like to look-forward to trips and all, nor do i want to give out too much information unless necessary, or even to talk about it... is because i can very easily felt taboo-ish... and mind, it almost always happens... thus, why i will avoid talking about it, or avoid giving out too much information pre-trip!

But just can't help to feel really hyped-up about the whole thing (^^ )!~ So... just hope for 13!
