Music: LOTR 1 track number 17

Watch out for the tunes in the 2nd and 4th minute of this one. Its the kind of music which suits those "we've come to an end, but theres still a new journey awaiting" feelings. LOTR, whatd you think.

Over the past months, I have observed the presence of several laws of male-female interaction. In addition to that, I have observed that these laws are always observed.

1) When a guy looks at a girl and a girl looks at a guy, and they are friends (the extent of which is of secondary importance and relevance), the guy would always have to be the one who walks over to the girl. No doubt about it, never the other way, 98% of the time, with 2% deducted just to qualify the statement.

2) Girl never calls guy. This law applies if and only if law 1 holds true.

3) Length of skirt is inversely proportional to length of chatter per unit time. Not that I want to be a pervert or anything of that sort, but for me, length of skirt is the only true, constant discriminator of the extent of which a person is a neo-liberalist or quasi-conservative. (Note that neo-conservative is not used; most girls are liberalistic and not conservative these days, and so we are primarily concerned with modern liberalists and *conservative* liberals) As such, a lot of implications, most of them valid I must add, comes along with the length of a female’s skirt.

4) I never get along well with neo-liberalists nor quasi-conservatives.

5) When something *peculiar* happens, particularly if the happenstance is of a slapstick nature, girls will always giggle. When this happens the guys would tend to look at each other; A small number would smile.

6) Girls are more dirty-minded than guys in a female-dominated environment. They get more vocal about things which, ok while not in essence dirty, reveals certain sexual tendencies which should really be kept to one’s self.

7) The probability of people thinking a male and a female are an item the moment they talk more than their usual ‘quota’ of times, or in fact if any mere thing like carrying some books for her occurs, is 75.36543682340128%.

8) I hate all of the above 7 laws.

It is certain that there would be more parts to this, but these would do for now. Law 3 is a weak one which I admit suffers from over-generalisation. Relationships with females for me are bounded by laws 1 and 2, as well as to some extent 8. Laws 5, 6 and 7 are irritating, but you get used to it. Law 4 is a fact.

Take all these with a pinch of salt. I am pretty sure you disagree with some of these *laws* as much as you’ve got your own set of observations; indeed, it’ll be interesting to hear some of them.

Just realized serangoon gardens is a beautiful place to dine in. So beautiful in fact, that Im going to make it my HQ for dinners. My view was restricted by chomp-chomp in the past, but Joel recently brought me to café cartel in a nearby backstreet. Under-the-sky seating, big tv, very good environment, free-flow of bread, some fantastic potato wedges (no, actually it’s the sauce)…

Had class cip earlier on (Sunday). Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

We were doing flag day, with some daffodil badge for sale too. You know, its actually quite amusing how some people alter their trajectory by two steps for every step you make towards them, or the way some would hold up their badge to me like a cross to ward off the vampire.

Rejection is a terrible feeling, but I reminded myself that I tend to be one of those who reject those flag day students too. Heh.

The day saw, if I recall accurately, the first time a girl treated me to a drink, or indeed, to anything at all. Think its some chrysanthemum tea with some bitter herb, for accompanying her to make a police report because she lost her donation bag. Could’ve been prevented but wahlau eh, think she took out her money faster than I took out mine. And when I insisted it was allright, I can pay for myself, her charisma which earned her a VP position in the SC left me overwhelmed. Ouch indeed.

It is noted that with me, girls talk more as time progresses, and I talk less, and sometimes when I disappear to the behind they would fold their arms across their front and continue talking, as if to an invisible being.

A movie came later. Open Water. We were disgusted with the show, and it is the worst show I’ve ever watched. In fact the audience was disgusted with it too; I had the feeling that if they had eggs they would throw it at the screen. $8.50 to watch two people in the open sea for one and a half hours! And they didn’t even show the sharks eating them up! It was only later on that we thought we had just caught a preview. Will check the papers tomorrow. But anw its still bad as a preview. Some nudity btw, wasn’t aware NC16 would show a female’s whole body.

Took neoprints later on. No wait, forced to take. !@#$%^W@#$!Q$^@. Females don’t seem to realize that if they laugh less whilst drawing all those things on the photos they accomplish more. Indeed, they don’t seem to realize that guys would actually do a better job drawing the stuffs.

The mini-class outing confirmed what I had been thinking of for some time now. The males in my class are support males, theres no alpha-male: and that’s actually essential for group cohesiveness. 5 guys in my class, including me, and all support-males. Many supportive roles, but we primarily played the role of the honour guard: seen in the formation we walked, seen in the way communication was done (girls dictate and give orders), seen in many many little things.

We often got bullied. Lol. The girls bullied us into buying popcorn for them, the girls pressurized us into taking neoprints. In school too btw. It’s rather peculiar: in all areas they expect us to be the gentleman, and theyre very open about it. Its like: “Oi whatre you doing here, be a gentleman and queue behind..” “Guys go treat us popcorn..” All done in good fun of course, but we guys are always glad to acquiesce. One quote stuck with me: “How come your walk so ahead of us…We get kidnapped then how..?” Lol.

Wish I could show you the neoprints.

Well it was fine, it was fine. One girl punched her fist in the air and triumphantly declared, “Our first mini-class outing!” (Actually second). Well its fairly easy for us guys to go along with that gang, but a couple other cliques weren’t there. Cant be too optimistic; the inclusion of them could very well make things worse. Or a lot better. There was talk about some true class outing after the promos, Wild Wild Wet or the equivalent, we’ll see how things go.

And theres still more to look forward to! 1a03 outing coming up this friday, as well as a history field trip—to a musical (or opera?) at the last Friday of the term. And not to forget, the London-paris history field trip at the end of year holidays! I darn well am praying they get enough people to go.

It’s time for me to get a digital camera. I’ve saved up a lot of money over the past few months despite seeing my expenditure rise by at least 50%, no joke. (Sec sch say $3 per day, plus $5 for the occasional dinner; now average of $5 a day plus $15 for the occasional dinner which isn’t so occasional already; $20 to $40), and Ive got some cash left over after depositing a large portion of it in the bank.

After thinking about it for some time, I’ve decided to forego some items like a better hi-fi set for a digital camera. Will be launching a full-scale inquiry into this matter, would want the best deal for my money. Need to capture down certain memories in pictures.
