So the other day, LUCT had this 'Indian Club' performance during lunch time.. needless to say, me not being a fan of Indian music found it totally annoying, but that wasn't the point of this post.

the point was 'clubs'. no not those clubs where you have people dancing in the dark to electronic music under the influence of alcohol and the occasional drugs. i was refering to the social clubs that they had in our uni-college (why the fuck is it a uni-college anyway? can't lim kok wing be happy with just using 'college' till it gets a 'uni' status?? anyways back to the point)

clubs for races! i mean, what's the point!
i remember signing up for clubs awhile ago..one year ago to be exact..i joined the skateboarding club, and the music club..they're now defunct (i think) cos they didn't call me up for meetings anymore.. haha but thats another story

so yea, i was looking around the hall, checking out which clubs i could sign up for, and i realised that there were like 5 or more clubs that were meant specifically for races..

there was the Chinese club, the Indian club, the African club, Indonesian club, some country with a weird name club, and i think an Iraq club or something.. but yeah

seriously, what is the point of clubs like these?? what do they do at meetings?

*thinks*

----
1st Chinese club meeting:

Leader: "hello, welcome to Chinese club. I hope that you guys will stick around with us till the end of the semester, because we are going to be the best and the biggest club in LUCT!"

Newbie: "what are we supposed to do in this club? the people at the booth told me that i'd find out after the first meeting"

Leader: (whispers to aide) "Terminate him, now!"

No really, I have no idea what these clubs do. Oh wait i remember, they've organised some activities! I remember.. there was a chinese new year festival day thingy.. a moon cake festival day thingy..a movie week- where they screened chinese movies all week.. and that's about it..
the Indian club had the cultural dance the other day..and deepavali once.. and that's it!
I don't even know if the other clubs are around!

So anyways, these clubs organize all these sorts of festivals..but isn't that what the culture club + gang (music, drama, dance club) supposed to do anyway? i mean, its not like you need chinese to organize something chinese, why not let some africans dress up in some chinese costumes and do lion dances instead? i think they'd kick more ass as lion dancers (lol)

but separating all these kids into clubs of their own races, isn't that kind of racist? how is it benefitting to be in a club with people of the same race, but no ultimate purpose? i mean for example- the deaf and mute club, that's for all the deaf and mute kids to join, cos they're handicapped in the same way, and so they can understand each other, and therefore help each other.. but race clubs?
"we're the same race! how's that gonna help?"
"i have no idea!"

i remember, back in GIS when i was in the chess club, or the magic card club- there was a purpose! i learnt how to play chess better, i learnt new techniques and strategies etc.. there was a reason

but joining a club cos we're the same race doesn't make any sense to me..

shit, i thought i was gonna write something epic here, but i kinda missed the point :p

what's the point of race clubs again?

fuck it

haha.
