» わたしのこと «


The writer does not intend to but tends to make silly remarks that make others laugh. Sometimes she enjoys this unintentional trait of hers, and sometimes she detests it. But nevertheless, she loves to laugh at silly things, both good and bad, mostly little silly things, because she finds that life is too short to spend it sulking away. She also tends to be sarcastic with her words because the subtlety of dry humour makes her laugh even more and lightheartedly at those who "just don't get it."

    The Aftermath of Wally's paper

    Friday, April 28, 2006

    I just learnt that Wally is quite a derogatory American term for someone's stupid or dumb... Thanks to Kim's aunt and uncle who braved the bad weather and heavy traffic to get us down to our 9am paper. It was such a long ride (about an hour) that we started chit-chatting and singing to Gold 90.5 fm just to make ourselves feel better. At about 8:50-ish, we were still crawling through Clementi... and it's strange but we saw this guy running along the road towards school in the rain. Was he really going to run all the way to school? I was so relieved I wasn't stranded at a bus stop or something, nor stuck in some traffic jam and be the one driving because by the time I reach school, I wouldn't have been fit enough to sit for the paper.

    Anyway if you were wondering, yes Kim and I did reach school on time... actually we were a few minutes late but when we ran into the lecture hall, we found Wally standing there looking at the clock. Oh. So he waited for five minutes for the latecomers. That's strange of Wally isn't it? He gave extra time to those who came in late because of traffic and weather conditions.

    Back to Wally before I forget... hmm who the hell came up with that nickname for him? *Stares questionably at Faith* When I first heard it, I thought it sounded a little intimate, like someone's favourite pet or something. Then again, it also sounds like a penguin or maybe the big fat hamtaro on Kim's bed.

    After having had a few hours of sleep the night before the paper, Kim and I were so braindead we had a long chit-chat session which started in the Arts canteen all the way to her room, and eventually we were sitting on her bed. Thus I found out the reason for her inability to study at home. Talk about not having a proper table... Her bed is glued to her table which is probably not the size of a proper table and is semi-converted into a mini-altar and half-dresser, which is stuck to her mini TV, on top of which sits her cable TV box. And of course her TV is right next to her computer. Actually it sounds kind of like my room. My table is so cluttered I sit on my bed half the time when I'm home and my bed faces the TV (complete with cable TV box, DVD player, VCR) and the table which my laptop sits on most of the time. Talk about distractions.

    From time to time she has to help her nine-year-old sister google information for her project, which is exactly what I would be doing if I were home. My mother and sister have no qualms about entering my room like it was a common hallway... then the slavehood begins... as if nobody else was computer-literate in the family. And then sometimes, my mother would take my sister on shopping trips and if I were home, they would tempt me to go along. Well, usually the answer would be positive, even though I knew I would end up carrying all the bags.

    Pretty much everything after Wally's paper got deconstructed.. my plans to study that afternoon were whiled away chatting with Kim. Eventually, talking became slurring and we almost fell asleep on the sofa (er yes we moved out of her room 'cos her air-con was making us feel sleepy). Of course we made plans to study at least one day before our last papers, just so we would feel good about ourselves I suspect.
