And who said life is fair?
Whoever who says life is fair, he has made a grave mistake.
It is a universal, undisputed fact that pretty or good-looking people will always be at the upper hand of things. Who says with a golden heart, physical beauty doesn’t matter. Honestly, no one should blame a girl who spends a fortune on shoes, bags, dresses, make up etc. ( I am not justifying the 9 pairs of shoes which I am bringing back to
Because the world is superficial. Looks have always been and will always be important.
People, especially guys. You can’t deny this. Once upon a time, even PAS had proposed that only unattractive girls should join the workforce as the pretty ones are sorted since they were born – because of their doll-like faces.
The cute little thing who appeared before the world in the fiery red party dress turned out to be miming. As her photos were splashed across the globe, being branded as a rising star, the true singer who was at the backstage had remained unnamed. Thanks to her chubby face and uneven teeth, I quote The Star.
Gosh.
When I was doing my Paeds elective in Aus, a senior medical staff had innocently commented during ward round “ It’s very difficult to tell apart an Asian baby from a Down’s baby”. Perhaps, the Chinese’s act of swapping the true singer is justified.
I don’t know what to say. Well, at least now I know if my daughter wants a boob job, she gets it.
Speaking of which, I have learned that I need to do lotsa preparation for my finals OSCE. My darling friend in Aus had spoken out of first hand experience, when she attended her first exam in a geeky outfit and thick glasses, she had scored a B. The next time round, she had taken 1 hour before exam to look groomed and glam, that’s when she got an A!
Now, let me plan…. Perhaps I should start shopping for OSCE clothes now!

Hmmm... insomnia brought me to this blog and I came across this post.
And you're right. By swapping the kid, they have shown an image of China. Just not the image they should have shown. By doing so, they have brought greater disregard and disrespect than they would have had they actually put the real girl up there. Right now, what they are saying is "China only has good looking people, the not-so-good-looking ones are kept hidden away". Right?
It's a pity really. They are just helping to perpetuate the negative image the westerners have of them. This is the 4th or 5th controversy to have come out of the Olympics to date that I've heard of, and I don't even care for the Olympics!
Also, in regards to the senior medical staff comments, it may be hard for the westerners to differentiate between the various eastern races, but don't forget, they can tell the difference between the various caucasian races that we easterners can't, merely due to the fact that our eyes are trained to differentiate eastern races, and theirs western races. This was a point that was brought up during the AMSA '05 btw, and agreed upon by both the east and west.
With that, I bid you goodnight.
Dear Gawd ZEN!!

Should I be VERY worried if I am ever admitted under the care of a well-dressed female doctor?
