Alice finally speaks!
I figured Angeline asked me to post on her blog because she knows how comfortable I am with writing and self-expression (not!) The last time I had too much to write, it was during my Engineers and Society paper and even then, I got a freaking C! Bleah.. Anyway, in order not to disappoint or worse still, offend her royal highness, here I am!
She's busy learning the Mass Dance now for her stint as a GL during Orientation Camp! Wahaha... GL of course, means Group Leader and what a GL does basically is... lead the group. Bet the freshmen will develop washboard abs laughing from her jokes and antics. Well, except maybe for those from Anglican High because according to her, they don't have a sense of humour!
More on lizards then, since I saw a baby one crawling (do they crawl?) under the dustbin just now. Angeline reckons they do us a great deal of good eating mosquitoes and all sorts of creepy crawlies. I beg to differ. Seriously, how many mosquitoes and bugs are actually stupid enough to fly or crawl near our slimy friends for them to devour?! Its like song4 yang2 ru4 hu2 kou3.. Hey wait a minute.. lizards are also a kind of hu3 so... Maybe I'm biased because lizards terrify the hell out of me. Yeah go ahead and laugh, at least I'm not afraid of cockroaches!
Read an article in the papers recently about a fight during an inter-JC rugby match. These two blokes supporting my old school (ACJC), allegedly hurled insults at the other team (SAJC), sparking off a free-for-all between the first two morons (formerly from ACJC and now national rugby players) and other two morons from SAJC (the coaches I think). While I'll never know what exactly happened, it reminded me of my time in school when I disliked most of the ruggers (and swimmers!) To me, they were mostly arrogant and obnoxious. Guess such people exist everywhere and as I found out, do too in university! (they're the ones with golden hair and sun-bronzed skin!) A friend of mine once asked me..
W: "Do you know why these guys all have many fine lines on their temples? Its because they squint too much.."
Me: "Squint too much? Oh, because they are always in the sun is it?"
W: "Yup, engaging in their idea of 'extreme sports' like beach volleyball, chillin' by the beach, posing and wakeboarding"
Me: "But they always seem to be wearing sunglasses don't they? So they won't need to squint..."
W: "Yes yes, but their sunglasses are always used as hair bands! That's why they squint so much!"
Text doesn't do justice to how funny this conversation was and I rather agree with his view, however biased and judgemental it might seem. Maybe not with the specifics but yes, 'beach hunks and babes' do irk me a little. What with the 'oh I'm so cool' attitude... Ack, rattled on too long haven't I?
