Emotions

Fairness. I'm pretty sure i've somewhere in my blog before, that something will only be 'fair' if and only if you're at the side with advantage. Then everything will seem fair to u.

I dont even know why i'm writing this. Some days before, I was talking with a girl from China. Just out of curiosity i asked her why she didn't have a boyfriend. I dont know what I feel now, but maybe i'm lucky to be born in Malaysia afterall. Her parents are very strict with her, never allowed her to date. This scenario is pretty normal as well in malaysia isnt it? Only difference is, the teachers in school or out of school will report to parents whenever they see people dating o.O As for my friend's case, she wouldnt even dare to talk with a guy when her parents are around. Weird thing is, her brother has 3 girlfriends ( i'm not sure she meant 3 together, or total 3 o.O )

I asked her why? She replied, 重男轻女。It's the olden days chinese culture of putting guys before girls. But seriously. Still that?

But what made me ponder upon the question is not really this. One could argue that a girl should be more 'careful' and things like that which i dont really agree, but still, i coudlnt say it's not a valid arguement. What actually made me feel deeply for her is that her brother actually tried to kill her.

According to her, there's once when she was beside the river, fishing with her brother. The river is full of moss, dirt, or whatever, Either way, you couldnt see anything more than 5 cm deeper, and the river was pretty deep. Remember the way we used to play that push-you-but-pull-u-back trick? Even if u do this trick beside that kind of river, it's freaking dangerous. But what her brother actually did was push her INTO the river. She can't really remember what happened in the river,but she knew that she somehow managed to get 1 of her hands above the surface of the water.

I'm not sure what happened next, but she got saved, maybe by herself catching something, maybe by someone else. But definately not her brother. When she got home, she actually got scolded for being late, and her brother totally got off. When she told her mum of what happened, her mum just said,

"You didn die, so what? Besides, your brother didn do it intentionally."

What the hell?
