Recipe #5- three divine layers of....

Greetings human! 



How are you guys feeling today? It has been a while since we have posted anything. 
Without further ado, let's dine in to three divine layers of STEREOTYPES today! 
(stereotypes- it has nothing to do with music or types of stereos, just so you know) ^^

Stereotype according to our Professor Google can be translated as "a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing" 

Oversimplified image. Idea. Person. Thing. 
Honesty is the best policy. Sha personally thinks that it's normal considering the common first reaction towards our first impression or knowledge about a person/thing but not to the extent of projecting it through our actions. Izzy on the other hand nods along to the idea and thinks that it is quite inevitable to run away from stereotypes nor having none. 

BUT

IT DOES NOT SIMPLY MEAN THAT YOU SHOULD. IT'S NEVER OKAY. Getting to know a person with the presence of absurd filters brings nothing out of it. 

Reminiscing and flipping back through the book of past or even the present, we must have had some sort of stereotype installed at the back of our mind or being a victim of one. 

Sha, being a beautiful Kelantanese girl has always been a victim or the recurrent stereotype of which she is always perceived as a person who would always "STICK TO HER OWN GROUP OF PEOPLE" simply because she is from Kelantan. The "Kelantanese" tag on her image sometimes can repel a lot of great potential friends because of this stereotype. Nonetheless, she broke the stereotype by being super-friendly with everyone to a point that people were dumbfounded to know that she is actually from Kelantan. YOU GO GIRL!



Moving forward to Izzy, she once upon a time had an absurd stereotype towards people's music preference. Those were her EMO, rebellious, teen angst, post-hardcore and dark times. Anything outside her cup of tea will be considered as "mainstream, meaningless, fake" and the list goes on. You get the idea.  She managed to break her own stereotype when she got out from her own "inner-struggles" and started to accept other things in the world realizing that "one man's meat is another man's poison".
