National education in practice and the girls, the prize.
T said, we are not chinese, we are singaporeans. I think the grand dames of our national education system ought to find this heartening. He doesn't mind girls from china, if they are cute. I replicated his phrase switching girls to boys. It warranted a "the taking of women from other tribes is a source of national pride, but losing our women to foreign soil is national humiliation" retort. We laughed at his nationalistic male egoism. It's national pride to the chinese boys I guess. One up for they who look good indie arty skinny. So foreign is foreign, white or yellow; it never matters otherwise to our local men.
