day 2

haha the thing jireh wrote about his stanford experiences is really really funny. but reading it just confirmed the fact that i'll never win the damn competition :(

well day 2 was not much better than yesterday. haha not-very-nice guy was better today. i'll give hime 3 niceness points: 1 for taking the initiative and saying hello and good morning to me. 2 for striking up conversation about low chor meng's biceps and 3 for offering me his seat. but i'll take one point away cos yesterday he was quite mean! our mentor was teaching us some stuff about the lacZ gene so he asked whether we've learnt about that. so i said er no. (for the benefit of the rg girls in the bench. really! ok and also cos i can't remember what ariff chan taught us) and when i said that, not-very-nice guy threw me a positively dirty look and asked in the most patronizing tone: do you take bio? ouch. that really hurt. oh well. but i'll forgive him since he was nice to me today. so we're all good. haha i actually quite like hanging out with everyone at the attachment except for the charmer. he's called david by the way and most unfortunately speaks a lot like marlom. (unfortunate for marlom) yikes. yeah but it's cool talking to everyone except when they start calling me an african cos of my skin colour (and season hasn't even started!) hmm and i walked all the way home from biopolis :( :( :( it took about 35 min... jaywalking down a large road, past the oh-so-familiar red house and stinky white house. ugh bad memories of walking home. and i didn't meet the ice cream man.
