Picture of the week- Racism

 My skin colour(left) and my mom's skin colour(right)

      This would probably be the most personal blog that I am posting for my school project. I was born a Muslim(not that i wanted to, I was just born into this world as a Muslim) and was thought a lot of religious stuff. What is right and what is wrong. However , I came from a Chinese , Portuguese , Siamese and Javanese bloodline.

 I recently had the most heartbroken thing that has ever happened in my entire life. I broke up with my girlfriend due to my race and religion. She is a wonderful and cheerful Chinese girl when i first met her. I am not very religious at all to be honest. I entertained her, she wanted to eat at a non-halal sushi place as she is craving for sushi and I compromised for her. I did a lot of things that was wrong in my religion with her. I sacrificed a part of my religion that made me who I was just to make her happy.

She was the one who fell in love with me first and now she has left me with the excuse "I can't see myself being with a malay." What does that mean?

In conclusion, I hate racism.

Life - Empathy / Sympathy

So , in class with Mr Ezzam , we had a gathering where some of us opened up to the whole class, telling each of everyone their problems. Tears were shed on that day. Many were emotionally affected , including me myself. Some of my classmates were bullied when they were young , some were neglected and some was unaccepted by the society. I felt empathy. I believe that is what empathy meant. Feeling with someone , understanding what they are going through and stepping into their shoes.

Sympathy is on the other hand , giving a helping hand to the victim. He may not experienced what the victim experienced first-hand but they understood how the victim felt. They understands what is going on and gave a helping hand. Trying to comfort them and not make them feel very down . Trying to bring the victim back to his/her feet. Making them realise that everything is not over, and life goes on.
