dim sum dollies

i watched dim sum dollies today :) and it was a $68 well spent. made me laugh so much, practically fighting with the aunty sitting behind me on who can laugh the loudest. haha. most importantly, it made me forget certain issues.

of course, a nice version of the history of singapore and who we are today.

especially love the Indian talking to his cow, showing him his dance moves

".. and sometimes we hold hands"

but of course, what seem to left a deeper impression was the scene of the Irish missionary sisters and the convent girl and how they broke out in an Irish river dance.

haha.. i felt insulted but amused at the same time. It seems that the stereotyping of convent girls will stay that way forever. and i guess i can't blame for the stereotype.

Was just thinking about the hall's bazaar the other week, when iskandar was psychoing me to buy ear rings where i was at this stall, and i bumped into one of my secondary school class mate, which he was friends with as well. With a bewildered face, he exclaimed how surprised he was that i was a convent girl and refused to believe my alma mater. he even said "how come you didn't "come out" like them?"

i get that question a lot. and i always give a puzzled face: why must i "come out" like them? not that i have any hard feelings against them (i love them very much!), but i still dun get it. is there only 1 look for convent girls?

There goes the same for the behaviour of convent girls as highlited in the play. do convent girls behave the way they are not suppose to? in my convent years, i experienced having friends behaving in that way. and i totally understand where these stereotypes come from.

but i guess it is important for the general public to realise that not all convent girls are like that. majority or minority- there are still some traditional convent girls that benefited from such a missionary type of education.

for one, there still are girls who are not as open as they are to guys regarding certain matters. it is hard for them to bring out to discuss certain issues. and they just tend to avoid it. as liberal as society is nowadays, whats innate cannot be changed. perhaps, over time, gradually, things might change.

but the underlying still remains: there still are traditional convent girls that exist in this day and age.

...and you just have to accept them for who they are.
