I managed to breeze through my tutorial's public speaking presentation without a hitch.. It was a dead boring topic, 'Chess in Malaysia'.. Even my friend Z once fell asleep when I practised it with him the other day :P But since I didn't have any other alternative, I decided to just do it.. All my tutormates were rolling their eyes by the time I presented the title of my speech.. But fortunately my tutor, Mr. A, was supportive enough.. After some of his coaxing, I went on with my speech.. At the end of it, he was fairly impressed with my 'confidence', 'liveliness', and 'eye contact'.. Woohooo.. You go girl.. hehehe..
I also brought back my laptop from the IT servicing centre.. The IT guy gave his final diagnosis : I need to replace my network card.. Oh well.. There goes my money for the house trip to Pulau Kapas.. Darn..
My friends are writing this round-robin essay which sounds very interesting.. Guess what the topic is? Boys.. Apparently both of them have been badly bruised while cruising the highway of love and they lived to speak about it.. And I've been cordially invited to join the club.. Hmm.. The prospect does sound inviting.. We all plan to have it published in Veritas, our college's newsletter.. But somehow the overall tone of the essay is somewhat.. guy-bashing.. I'm not saying that I don't agree 100% with what they're saying.. It's just that most of the time, I know why both members of the opposite sex do such things that normally irritate each other.. And to merely bash the general public i.e. boys because of a few unfortunate incidents is a bit too far off for me..
Well, OK, most boys have a few general characteristics which could use some improvement.. But I'm really having second thoughts about allowing it to be published.. Firstly, it sounds more like a personal rant than an objective viewpoint on the battle of the sexes.. Secondly, how can I write a few paragraphs that would distance myself from being anti-males completely while still holding true to the theme of 'boys are a waste of space'? Hahaha.. sounds sort of like an oxymoron to me :P
But honestly, there are some things in life that you just can't live both with or without.. Like sinfully delicious chocolate pudding.. Annoying siblings whose mission in life is to, well, annoy you.. And boys.. It's like, no matter how much you try to live life without them, more often than not you find yourself falling for one again.. It's like you're walking a huge circle to come back to right where you started at.. And you repeat the cycle again and again and again and again..
At least that's my observation.. My friends keep telling me that they're swearing off boys.. But frankly, if that was the case then what's the big deal with the whole essay thingee?
