Of Mice and Men

I guess I'm really getting the hang of this blogging mood. No, no one died and gave me the blogging bug

Got Amir the Weasel to survey my blog. ok sorry so I'm evil-no-surprises-there but hey I like your blue braces. Serious. Surprisingly he found it nice, considering he tends to be blatantly harsh in his critisism.

So began our usual but rare conversations online. This was after I met him earlier on in the day to sit in with him in the opening speeches and such. And yes was he ever so animated in coveying his thoughts and feelings about taking his first module with noobes like me gawking to his every word. Oh, Daryl David the guest speaker made a really great speech..... in spite of being a has-been. Shut up matbloodz. What? He said, "Even if theres a cure for cancer, people will still know me from the host in The Pyramid Game." totally nailed it man.

Anyway, I couldn't help but to bring up my verbal diarrhoea regarding certain guys I encounted to him. In short, I was commenting on how there were terribly poseurish peeps in existence, especially when they were the only smartasses in the whole LT with a laptop typing away during the lectures in mock interest- No need for jealousy I have one too-when the majority of the peeps behind them knows that they're on MSN.

I mean, I get that the guys are as enthusiastic as me. I should know, they're the only other people I've ever heard of (besides me) who plans their timetable weeks in advance and prints out every bits of info of a Freshman. But theres a very fine line with being enthusiastically prepared and showing off! I don't hate them, God knows we may have things in common. On the contrary I think I really want to get myself acquainted to them. To which Amir replied "that's why you shouldn't go around talking about people (too late i've blogged it) coz if they get to know you'll be in an awkward position (well hope they don't).. people all have alot in common la.. its just tt people CHOOSE to look at the differences instead"

Deep.

In IM: -
Amir: cmon la.. everyone human can get along with another, whether jock or nerd or whatever. its the universal human spirit.. cmon man ur in fass studying social sciences. (ooh real deep).
Me: Yes and the fact that you're one of my really good friends is testament to that. Im spankingly goodlooking while you're.... nice. =) (what? i like his blue braces. nice)
Amir: HAHA
Me: Ok.. so im spankingly goodlooking AND humourous.
Amir: rolls eyes.

Damn I'm good.

After all the epiphany I'm getting, still. You can't help recoiling in disgust when some girls in the LT wore hipsters so low they had hideous cleavage in unmentionable places. Or you can't help telling your best friend "Oh God look! (points!) You can spot a geek a mile away" as the poor fella trudges awkwardly down the LT steps at the other end of the room to find his seat. Or when some fat Ah-Lian-looking girl literally stomped down the steps finding her seat you audibly said "Damn. When she walks the ground shakes".

Guilty as charged.

On a lighter note, matey and I had lunch with the big yellow taxi aka Xavier, who seriously needs to clean his cheesecake-attacked bag. Poor fellow. Also I bumped into Haresh on the way to McDonalds at Engin Blk. Only he could get me stunned after calling my full name from behind. Met up with me placer friend, who still hasn't matriculated yet. We bitched, had dinner (or rather he), before sending me home in his new car, still bitching. I love new car smell.
