Journal Writing 2 - WiNsToN

Part1

Best friends are important in life. They are the usually the ones who go through thick and thin with you. I only have a few best friends. I don't have many best friends though. I treat everyone the same way.(Except for some people i dislike) For people of different races, i treat them the same way too. Like Mirza who is one of my best friends, is a malay. i don't mind that. I feel that people of different races look at each other differently. For me, i do not have that same mindset as them. I feel that everyone is the same, all humans. So, everyone should be treated the same way. People of different races should live together in peace and not find fault with each other. In life, sometimes you have to give and take. Do not expect too much from anyone else. Expect what they expect from you.

Part 2

Character(1)

The attitude in which people you work with is the most important. With the right attitude, you can get things done quickly. If you work with the person with the right attitude, it will be much easier to complete the task. For the person with the right attitude, he/she have the qualities in which have the correct learning attitude, wishes to excel and gives his/her best in everything they do. With this, they have the potential to excel and do well in everything they do.

Circumstances(2)(eg. classmate, groupmate, cca-mate)

Our classmates, groupmates, cca-mates etc have something in common. We are therefore able to communicate much better with them in certain aspects. We are able to work together compared to others. We have interests in common which we both appreciate. Hence, we are better friends.

Age(3)

People of different ages have different thinking. For example, people older than us tend to have thinking that is much more mature than the younger ones. Hence, we may not be able to communicate well enough with them. But still, we can still communicate with them if we put aside our differences.

Gender(4)

Although we are of different genders, we can still be friends. We may get along really well with someone of the opposite sex. For example, i get along really well with Esther whom i regard as my best friend too. Though we are of different sex, we can still be friends or even best friends.

Race(5)

I don't really bother if others are of different race as me. As long as they are humans, its all right. They are still friends. I myself have many malay friends too. I don't look down on them. I treat them the same way i treat everyone else.

Part 3

I feel that racial harmony have indeed served its purpose. To help improve relationship between the different races. Each time racial harmony is celebrated, we learn different things from the different races. Singapore as a multi-racial society, we have to accept the different races.
