i'm a freshman.......again!

woohoo, never in my wildest dreams that this day would come, again......excuse me for being rather dramatic for something as simple as matriculation day, but yay! i'm 19 once again (and no, this is not a movie, it's real).

and there it was, the maze that i've been so confused about 4 years ago. this round, i was, in control, muahaha......and since it was arts matriculation day, i've put on my pure hazel contact lenses, put on my best shirt, pants and shoes, made my hair, and i looked convincingly like a year 1 arts student. i was only beaten by the girl with pink hair, argh, better luck next time.

and so i roamed across the MPSH with various seniors trying to promote their society/club to the confused year ones like yours truly. i saw museum club, VCF and many others that i was once so involved in. you know it was kinda weird having some senior explain the museum club bazaar to me cause i was the one who organized it last year......and you could imagine, when all was done, i was hysterically laughing my way off to woodbridge hospital.

and my matriculation card says that i'm in Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine. Well, i hope people won't get the wrong idea when i say i'm from medicine, this is my first year (for masters), haha.......

big-eyed monster

as i graduated, i had to walk through the whole maze of mumbo jumbo in MPSH 1 just to collect my mortar board and gown. it was just like matricalutaion day, just slightly better.

but wait. amid the whole mumbo jumbo, there were ppl who were promoting credit cards. when you were entering the hall, when you were in the hall, when you were exiting the hall, anywhere, everywhere, these ppl were omnipresent. their new pick up line? "sir, i'm not selling anything". apparently credit cards can't be sold.

the first few who approached me were males (or females?), i can't remember and i had no impression whatsoever of them. i smiled and moved on, the maze thing was confusing enough.

and then, when i had the chance to finally breathe fresh air after the whole mumbo jumbo, i was approached again. this time, by a big-eyed monster.

this monster had big green eyes, with nicely carved brows and perfectly fake lashes to go with it and like a venus-fly trap, i became dinner.

for the whole time, the only thing i remembered saying was no. no. no. but i gave my number in the end. looking back, how did that happened? must have been her big green eyes. and when i received a call a few days later, without the big green eyes staring down at me like a tigress toying with her prey, i could finally say "no!" with conviction and "neh neh, you can't eat me over the phone!" to go with that.

that is why, ladies, if u're ever going to go into sales, invest in the make up set and make sure u resemble a big-eyed monster. and also have a sexy voice when u call. it works.
