You Chinese or Angmoh?

Good afternoon, went swimming downstairs and came home for lunch. The swimming pool was pretty much empty and there were no gays swimming there this time... nowadays i feel abit afraid of going swimming downstairs after that gay approached me... Guess it made me abit paranoid. This time there were only a few Angmohs suntaning... Thats where i got my inspiration to write.

The AngMohs were lying on the benches, some were sleeping while others were reading their books. Dun understand why they enjoy reading under the hot sun... I've seen alot of angmohs do that at swimming pools and beach resorts. But i have always felt that angmohs know how to enjoy life quite well.(at least for those i've seen) Some of them like to seat down near the poolside, and sip their wine and just talk about life... To a certain degree, i admire the way Angmohs lifestlye. Thats where i got my inspiration to write abt our disappearing culture.

Have u stumbled upon pple who proudly say:"My chinese(refering to the language) is so sucky, I hate chinese..." Have u heard any of your friends say that?
I am quite disturbed when i hear those words. To me, it shows that the person saying that has already embraced another culture and looks down on his/her own race. I tempted to say to the person:" Go and look at yourself in the mirror, see what race u are... look at your skin colour..."

In Spore, we are influenced by many cultures. But for most Sporeans we tend to follow the lifestyle of Angmohs. We tend to embrace their culture because we are mainly an English speaking society. And maybe due to Globalisation, Spore is not left out. Ok, my definition of Angmohs are Americans, Europeans and Australians. Everyday we are exposed to their culture through the media like tv, movies and advertisments. Most Sporeans communicate and think in English. Our fashion and clothes are also largely shaped by the Angmohs. Sporeans tend to prefer clothes which are also from Angmoh countries. The popular among teenagers would include Billabong, Ripcurl, quiksilver and roxy. For other age grps would be levis, mango(for gers) and Guess.. Too many to name... When i look inside my cupboard of clothes, i observe that most of my clothes are Angmoh brands maybe with the exception of my giordano berms and hangten polo tee. When it comes to food, we have a wide range of Angmoh food to choose from like most obviously, Macdonalds, BK and subway... Too many to name here also. The more expensive would include Tony Romas, Swensens... Ok i'm trying to prove that our lives are largely influenced by Angmoh culture. Its in our language, media, clothes and food... The problem that Globalistion creates in Spore is the appreciation of other cultures and the neglect of our own.
We tend to look up to Angmoh's and we somehow like to follow the way they speak, dress and eat. In a sense, we have been made to believe that Angmohs are better off than us. Its a wrong perception that we have decieved ourselves into believing. Ok, maybe its because the angmohs we see in Spore are rich thats why we feel that way... But thats only because only those rich and capable ones are allowed to becomes expats here....
Don't u notice how some Sporeans in the serviceline are especially nicer to Angmohs?(maybe its becos Sporeans are not as courteous and friendly compared to Angmohs, i dun know...)

In schools, we are taught in English and Mandrain(for chinese) becomes the second language. However, because of the rigid way that chinese was taught previously, most students in Spore(i'm not saying all) tend to memorise the Ci Yu shou ce(a bk that explains chinese vocab) to do well in the chinese language exams. The way chinese has been taught has caused some pple to show a disdain for the Chinese language. Maybe thats why they dun like anything to do with chinese....
As Lao Lee has said:"We have already turned off a generation of Chinese speaking Sporeans, make sure we do not do the same for the next."

From speaking to some pple, they tell me they dont like chinese, they dun like chinese songs... Ya, i'm fine with that... Maybe its because they prefer speaking english to chinese, or maybe they cannot communicate effectively in mandrain...
The point i'm trying to get across is: Don't feel proud that u can't speak chinese. It shows that u do not respect ur own race and u want to be like a Angmoh...I've noticed those pple who dare to say that are usually rich and very angmoh pai. Usually, its the Elite class of Sporeans... but that's only a minority.
Sths i wonder to myself:" Does speaking chinese make these pple feel that they are low class?"
