Minority Me

Its amazing how the simplest events in a day can leave you thinking and go hmmmmm.....

I went over to lab today to work on FYP. I was so engrossed in rushing and completing my work for the day that i did not even noticed when nightfall came. In fact, i needed someone else to ask me along for dinner, did i realised that i have worked around 5 to 6 hours straight.

Well, off i went for dinner with a huge group of people consisting mainly of PHD students who were working late in the lab. It was only halfway through the dinner did i realise that i was actually the minority in the group. Firstly, i was one of the two non PHD students out of a table of 8. Secondly, even more shocking, was that i was probably the only Singaporean at the table! What are the odds of that? In Singapore ok? Mind you!

It also alerted me to another more disturbing phenomenon that are Singaporeans really that inferior? Why are most PHD and other postgraduate posiitons mainly filled up by foreugn students? Or is there something wrong with our eucational environment? Or, does the misconception that all foreigners and foreign stuff are better, still exist?

Interesting huh?
