Journal Writing 2 - Lye Jue Ying ;DD

Part One
Currently, i don't have the BEST friend in my life because i can't find the right one. Maybe this comes later in my life? But, i do have good friends for now. Some of them are from the same race as me. But anyway, some of them are from the same race as me because we see each other more, so we interact and talk to each other more. We shouldn't discriminate other races also right? If this happens, then history will repeat itself.

Part Two
Rank :
1st: Character
2nd: Age
3rd: Circumstances
4th: Gender
5th: Race




1st: Character
If the person's character isn't good, why do we want to make friends with them? What if the person always likes to critise people, bully people, do you want to be part of them? Of course, one must have integrity and honesty in them. You don't like your friends to lie to you right?

2nd: Age
I think there will be a age gap in between. Like you can't discuss homework with them. You don't know what topic to chat with, like we may want to talk about our own school life, but they may want to talk to you about how much he earn or whatever.
But one good thing about having friends of older age is that they have more experience of life, so they can give you wise quotes ( Chwee Choon lol) or wise sayings.

3rd: Circumstances
This factor is quite neutral. Actually, classmates, CCA-mates and groupmates are quite important also. We need someone to support you, talk with you when you are lonely, sad or moody. When you are happy or angry, at least you have someone to ease out all the angers and share the happiness with your friends right?

4th: Gender
Actually, i don't really like to stick with a bunch of girls together. Sometimes it can be quite boring. You must try to make friends with the opposite sex, so you can understand them, look at the different side of view from their situation, and other stuff. They may look like bullying you, but sometimes they don't mean it right? We shouldn't be sexists ;PP

5th: Last but not least, RACE.
We should make friends of the different races, because we wanna know more of their culture right? We should understand each other if not we may hurt them without knowing it. Or aren't you all curious of their daily routines or what? Not being a stalker, but we want to know what they do during their celebration day. It does not matter who you want to make friends with, because anyone of them out there can be your friend.i would want to make friends with the japanese (:

Part Three
Do you think Racial Harmony Day has served its purpose?

YES of course. If there isn't Racial Harmony Day, we might be having world wars now. Basically there won't be peace in every single corner of the world. Do you want to see riots on the street( yay history )? We should believe in each other races and understand them.
Once again, we shouldn't practice racism.

i shall end my speech here. :D
