OK I said I'd explain why we should Stop Discriminination of The Vertically Challenged. Let me begin today by describing the difficulties I have faced being not-as-tall-as-others-think-I-should-be. (Let me remind you I stand at 1.46m)
1. My dreams of being a prison warden were dashed upon realisation that there is a height limit to being one. I'd always wanted to be a prison warden for a while, I don't know why, but I think it's quite cool! And then I realise that you have to be 1.58m to be one, and I am quite far from that, so there u see, there's a deprivation of a job opportunity for me just because I am not-as-tall.
2. I cannot join the Miss Singapore Pageant which insists that you need to be 1.64m before you are worthy of representing Singapore. HELLO? What nonsense is this???? Who says one can only be termed as 'pretty' if she reaches the height of 1.64??? You mean we are like UNFIT to represent Singapore if we are below that specific height? What rubbish, really. At least for air-hostesses I understand, cos I have problems reaching the luggage thing above our heads, so it's quite impossible for me to help any of the passengers or anything.
OK ABRUPT ANNOUNCEMENT I NEED TO SLEEP NOW! Will continue tomorrow.

I think your blog has the potential to be the next 'XiaXue' kind of blog. But of course, your material is much more interesting. :) Keep on blogging and maybe you can land a job as a columnist. Haha. From what I know, there are no height requirements!
