I swear... sometimes, the most entertaining form of passing time while traveling home is the people traveling home with you. ((see July 20th 2007 entry))
So this lady was standing right in front of me (like, very very close to me even though I'm sitting and she's standing), reading her book when a seat beside me was freed. She was very quick in moving to the seat (seeing as how close she was standing in front of me) and to my surprise, she stood before the seat instead of sitting down. She waited a good 10 seconds before sitting down beside me.
A friend suggested she was actually waiting for the seat that was just vacated to cool before sitting, which made sense. But still... weird!
Pfft... I can go on for days about this girl.
Confusion does not equal sophistication:
She was telling her friend about the animes she's watched and how she don't like those popular fighting shonen (boy) animes like One Piece or Naruto. She said she watched Bleach though. Which is as popular, fighting and shonen as they come. But hey, to each their own.
Next she said she likes the shojo(girl) type with the romance and the lovey dovey and the flowery flowery pink bubble background. Suggested Tales of Saiunkoku and kinda threw a bucket of ice cold water over her friend's head by saying her friend might not be able to get it with the recent Odex problem here and that the show is more sophisticated.
But to my knowledge, Tales of Saiunkoku is about this gay emperor who turned straight from the awesome powers of the female protagonist. Of course, the rest of the imperial guards and man-servants and court ladies fell in love with her too.
Her Uni life vs Her Life Before:
Then she went on to complain about how her only entertainment before university was playing PS2 games and now that she's in uni, she can't do that anymore. Like, I managed to finish Suikoden V just recently (when I'm in my last year in uni) didn't I?
I don't get her.
Her Poly life vs Other People's Poly life:
So the girl, turns out, she went to both JC and Poly (in that order). She talked about her current project report and was bitching about how she didn't have any good friends from Poly because everyone's cutthroat and backstabbing. There's even a guy who copied her report word for word and handed it up. Luckily for her, the lecturer knew about that guy's antics and penalized him instead.
But, isn't that what people do in JC more often than Poly? Seeing as how many of the "cream of the crop" went into JC instead of Poly (heard many horror stories about JC students. Didn't wanna go to JC coz of em) and how the JC people in uni stabs people's back and cuts people's throats, I would say a fair number of em comes from JC. I had the bestest bunch of friends in my Poly days!!! <3 you guys!!! (not that my only 2 friends from secondary school and my uni friends are not good of course. Hee...)
(Interesting side note: she's gotten into this lil accident back in Poly when she kinda screwed up the making of a paracetamol tablet and like, the machine totally went off and shut off the making and released noxious fumes and she was gagging and choking. From then on, she is forever known as The Gagging Drama Queen Who Screwed With Paracetamol. Okay, so that's the title I gave her but you get what I mean. :P)
This guy in punk getup was blasting his iPod through his puny earphones while he was standing a few seats away from me, so much so that I could (and did) actually tap along to the bass line. (I <3 bass. *pause* Not the fish!!) And when he sat down beside the lady who didn't sit down instantly, I heard what he was blaring. Kelly Clarkson's Behind These Hazel Eyes. Imagine my amusement. I literally cracked my face open grinning at that.
