He's BLACK!

Have you ever seen a indian foreign guy working at your void-deck? I did, plenty of times. I remember the bedok reservoir trip I had and one particular route had some construction going on but there is space to walk, and the construction workers were foreign guys from India I think, anyway, they're black. The first thing I thought, were to find another route. 2 reasons why : I don't want to walk pass and then be embarrassed by being told that I can't walk there, and because no one was around, I was afraid of.. you-know.. [ Pathetic and very bad person . I know >.<" >

So I search for another path and found one, and I walked over to there, to find out that the area is out-of-bound, so I had no choice but to walk back to the previous route. I walked pass them, and one smiled. I smiled back and in the end, I smiled at everyone and they were very friendly too. I continue walking, feeling happy and all, unknown reason why though.

Then few days ago, I saw black guys helping to construct something near my void-deck and well, I began to think. Actually we shouldn't be scared of them, or be racist towards them. They're helping Singapore, right? They are doings jobs like construction jobs, which Singaporeans do not want to do if we had a choice. They help to build our city and everything, so probably we should be thankful.

So from now onwards, I'm not going to think negative about them anymore. And let the bedok reservoir trip be a lesson to me. =]
