色不迷人人自迷

Someone can actually kill himself over the size of his penis. Rather amazing that one would allow a body part to dictate the outcome of one's life.

We're looking at Alex's newly taken "resume" photo at Marche just last Sat. Michelle commented that interviewers tend to short-list those who are good-looking/pleasant-looking/cute and just chuck the rest away. It's really a stark naked segregation of 美的 and 丑的. After reading about the incident over at Straits times, it occured to be that this line of thoughts is already present in the young workforce these days, hence, the escalated version in the teenagers.

My colleague remarked that the media now publicises breast enlargement creams on daily papers, something which used to be in exclusive female magazines only. I won't be surprised to see Penis enlargement kits appearing at your local pharmacies.

There is cause for great concern, I wouldn't want to live in a society where the size of my body parts play a major role in how others percieve me. For one, I'm out of puberty and there's nothing much I can do about it "naturally". And of course, with aging and all, it's rather unlikely the skin is going tighten as the years go by.

Hey!!! whatever happened to all the intangible qualities in life?

Ah well, thank goodness for government employment, whereby your looks is the last thing they see.

Penis cream do not work. In fact there's no confirm way of enlarging that.

Society has always judge us by appearance. Shouldn't be surprising to anyone. But as long as your interaction with society do not hinges on looks (as opposed to models, salespersons, actors etc) guess it's not a concern.

Oh btw, I was suppose to go for MOE interview last week but post poned it. Anything to prepare ah? Need to know at least who's the top 3 in MOE?

oh my god. you are really coming into teaching? hahah

Er... I think know who's the top should be good enough. Maybe think about some pedagogical strategies? how to handle needy students? defiant students? NT students?

I didn't prepare anything actually. Just spoke my mind there and then.
