Today, I was reading this article by Trixie Kwan's column "All A Girl Wants ..." -
They Don't Know the Truth, about recent Durex global sex survey. Malaysian fairs only 6th on the global bottom ranking. In her article, she mentioned that most Asian countries also fair low among our western counterparts.
It made ponder for a while.
Just recently I was also reading Adeline Yen Mah's on her book,
Waiting the Tree. In her book, she recollects her thoughts and observations in the UK. She mentioned in one of the pages, a comment made by her boyfriend, "Chinese love for food, likewise European love for sex". I think it made sense.
The world has rotated its course. The younger generation of Asian community is going after western civilisations; while the westerners are discovering the awe and wonders of Asian hidden heritage. The uniqueness of our Asian heritage and cultures are deep into our roots and in our blood. That's what make westerners so immensed with the rich cultural background and its diversed people of the Asian continent.
I sometimes pity our Asian people who are keen on western cultures, feeling that these are the first class superior culture to be followed; whereas shyed away from our very own root that was shared among the same colour and people who share common trait; perceiving it to be inferior and shameful to be acknowledged or mentioned. It's just sad.
We are different. That's why we are Asians. We don't need to out-do with foreigners with regards to sexual activities, nor put up with other illicit misbehaviour that our western partners take pride in. We are just plain different. No one should play judge or even question our own pride in our daily life.
