I think there really must be something wrong with the lecturers in my college.

Today, Annette and Marylin told me that Miss T, our economics lecturer, had talked bad about us behind our backs. Apparently, she told what we told her about accounts class to Mr J, that his class is boring, he's very strict, etc. We had only told her all this as she seems to be really interested in knowing about other lecturers but we never dreamed that she would backstab us. Granted, we didn't exactly bad mouth him in front of her, just facts (his class IS boring. I fell asleep again in his class today. or that could be coz I'm full after lunch), and I've always defended him in front of the others, simply because I know people that are stricter than him (my parents) and I really his dry sense of humour.

And who told us all about Miss T's evil deeds? Miss K. I've never really trusted her after the incident but since she's leaving now, there really is no need for her to eliminate rivals, right? Office politics and all? Adults can be really scary.....

Our current law lecturer that teaches us Tort is as hilarious as Dr Pau. His teaching techniques are different, as is his way of telling jokes. I thank god that law remains as the subject that never completely lost its appeal.

Annette is really very hilarious, hehehe. The other day she found that she left her bag when she was at the bus station. So she had to take the college bus and went back to college to find her bag. Marylin was helping her asking around for the bag but no one saw it. Then Annette sat at the table occupied by Dr Brendan, SS (won't mention name, you'll figure out why later), and Marylin. She laid her head on a bag and sighed. Then she thought that the bag looked suspiciously familliar. No prizes for guessing why.

That's not the ONLY thing she did this week. She had lunch with S (in case you forget who S is, she was the one that bugged Marylin and Annette to switch the presentation topic) at Pizza Hut. Annette told me that throughout the entire lunch and the journey to and from there, S kept bugging her to tell how many slides they are doing for the public lecture. When Annette said she didn't know, she text messaged Marylin instead. As if Marylin will tell her. Since she didn't get a reply, she became pissed. Annette said that she was so alarmed at S's expression that she deliberately stood apart from S when they were crossing the road in case S had "funny ideas". LOL. Only Annette could turn an unpleasant situation to a funny one.

Annette also ended up as Marylin's saviour yesterday. You see, Marylin had an admirer, SS (yes, the very same person i mentioned above) who wouldn't stop dropping hints that he wanted to date her and annoy her to hell. Well, i don't have anything against SS, except that he showed his move too early in the game. I mean, we just knew him for a few weeks (he's actually our junior, having just enrolled) and he's already asking one of us out. Knowing us, the devils we are that prey on funny situations at others' expense, how can something unpleasant NOT happen to SS?

We didn't do anything TOO bad actually. It's a stroke of ingenuity on Annette's part. She really must stop having them so often or she'll come down with brain fever.

SS came and sat with us in the library right after we talked about Marylin's situation with SS. Just how awkward is that? Annette told him not to come near any of us anymore in a humorous way. Marylin and i burst out laughing for no reason at first ( i never said we are sane, did i?) but when we saw SS's cluelessness we laughed even harder. Annette took out a book, The Japanese Production System ( of all things) randomly from the shelf behind her and told him to look up page 59 and a word in a particular paragraph will clue him in on why we were laughing at him (there is no such word, except maybe INSANITY is in that page. she was just pulling his legs). HE ACTUALLY LOOKED UP THAT WORD IN THE PAGE. We just laughed and laughed at his cluelesssness until he got quite fed up with us. Annette lied to him earlier that no one passed the law test he sat earlier and he actually got up and find Dr Brendan to confirm whether it was true. He had to be pretty gullible for falling for Annette's tricks. So we continued to laugh at his obvious naivete and in the end he said he had to go (annoyed at us obviously). Annette said he was welcomed to. He stalked off and we congratulated Annette  for getting him out of our hair.  We later found out from Dr Brendan that he was pretty upset over what happened. Wellll....let's just say that i might take him aside and give him some pointers on how to ask a girl on a date and NOT to make a move too soon. Anyway, on a more serious note, i found a rather shocking thing from Marylin. Apparently S had told Dr Brendan that i did not do ANYTHING to help her for her presentation. The BITCH. She was the one that didn't bother attending classes and approach me and Fei Yi for discussion about the presentation and she DARED TO STAB ME BEHIND MY BACK!!!? If i have less self-restraint, i would have strangled her everytime i see her. Grr!

P.s - Today i finally bought two heels that i'm going to wear on the presentation. Now the only problem remaining would be the clothes. I really must go on a diet. *sigh*

Yesterday, most of us law students wore blue as planned (that excludes Annette, Sing Koon and Marylin. I don't care what you said Marylin, what you wore is NOT blue). Why do we have such dress code on the particular day, you ask? Well, we sort of noticed that our law lecturer, Dr Brendan wears blue most of the time. So we decided to wear blue in law class to honour our esteemed lecturer (are you coughing while reading this, Annette?).

Anyway, we told Miss Karen about it and she decided to join in the fun. When Dr Brendan saw her, he went "Let's go on a date!" I think Miss Karen nearly fell over in shock.

Dr Brendan exhibited his mean sense of humour again. When a lost student came to our class and asked whether it's the CAT class (Certified Accounting Technician, for those that didn't know what it stands for), he replied, "No, it's the DOG class". The poor guy was too flustered to know that he's been duped.

We had fun in accounts class too, unexpectedly. Instead of learning contribution margin, we learned history of languages and how to properly pronounce a french word. For example, "Jacques" is pronouced "shark". Ah, the wonders of french words.

That all happened yesterday. TODAY'S fun is to watch Annette squirm in economics class due to certain "facts" (i'm sorry, Annette but it really is amusing. Call me a sadist). Oh, and I saw a cute trainee doctor from Holland when I went for my doctor's check up. Brown hair and blue eyes will never be out of season.  

P.s- I finally got my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Yay!

Sometimes, I really wonder how I have so many crazy experiences in college when  I have a relatively normal life in school.

Last week, my law lecturer planned to have a public lecture regarding equity and judicial precedents. Somehow, i ended up with the other group, opposing my two best friends. The speaker in my group, S (not mentioning name) had chosen equity at first but later decided to bail out.  My friends wanted to stick with their topic, but  S pestered them throughout the weekend to change the topic. Her excuse is that both of them have relatives they can turn to ask for help but we don't.  That is bullshit, by the way. S herself has an aunt that she's quite close with that she WOULD ask for help, whereas my friends wouldn't dream of asking their relatives for help, part of the reason being that she hadn't seen her relative since last christmas.

So, to be fair, my friends asked the law lecturer to choose the topic for us. Wanna know what S did? She didn't come to college on the day, claiming high fever and she sent a text message early in the morning to ask me to ARGUE with my best friends to get the topic, giving the excuse above. For someone that had a high fever, she had the strength to send a text message to me in the middle of the class to ask who get the topic.

Now that she had the topic, she didn't attend the classes for some days and left me and my friend, Fei Yi wondering what we should do other than looking for articles aimlessly.

Whew, got that off my chest. Moving on to what happened this morning.

My law lecturer did a funny thing again. When Marylin told him that she saw a banner of Lexis Nexis (a law website) hanging on the premise of a fitness centre, he did a weird aerobic dance for us, citing all the law lords and parliament acts that we learnt.  Let me tell you, the whole floor could hear us laughing. We even collapsed in the lift afterwards from laughing too much. When Annette and I told Miss Karen about it, she laughed as well and she said she might ask him to do a performance for the a level night. 

By the way, he sent a text message imploring us not to tell anyone. We told him that we had told miss karen about it. His only reply is that we are pure evil. And I agree.

Nothing abnormal happened this week. Well, if you can count my normally strict accounting lecturer cracking us up for half an hour and my law lecturer bringing chocolates for us normal.

Seriously, I always thought that Mr Jega has a great sense of humour, making some occasional wry jokes (albeit related to the lessons, but a joke is a joke, right?), but I really never see this coming.

We were talking about what we should do if we have to do a food hawker's accounts, when there is missing documents (invoices, etc.). These hawkers usually do single entry accounts in note books. All of a sudden, Mr Jega asked us whether we kept a diary.  He said since there's a chance that we will be famous one day, we should include his name in our diary. We can't help it. We burst out laughing.

Plus, we learned that he could cook 58 types of soups. Before your jaw drops open, let me explain that when he said "58 types", he meant that the 57 types of different flavours of soup from Heinz. Guess what's the 58th? It's bak kut teh (a type of chinese soupy rice) that he bought in food stalls. His definition of cooking is pouring the powder/bought soup into a pot and reheat it.

Oh, the chocolates from the law lecturer? We pestered him for chocolates since monday, and it worked, coz he brought ferrero rocher today!
