If looks could kill...

Posted by Branden Ho

So school's been in for a while for me now.. All's been fine and well and suitably boring. There is one thing though, that i just HAVE to grouse(some I adore, but heck, grouse seems more appropriate) about. There are "peacocks" who saunter about the lecture halls as if they hadn't a care in the world. Distracting.

*peacocks: people who just have to make a fashion statement, however good or bad. No reference to brain size here, mind you (go ahead, but dont tellem).

Specimen 1: Ankle-Covering Furry Boots. I could hear her feet choking from where I was seated...

Specimen 2:  Deep V-neck body hugging gown. Think.. Oscars, red carpet, limousine. Ladies, please, do not get me wrong, I am all for plunging necklines, and elegant gowns, but in SCHOOL?!?! You are hampering many hot blooded mens' feeble attempt to pay attention to that cleava.. er i mean.. lecturer. Not to mention the hurt you afflict upon the less well endowed.

Specimen 3: BIG FRIZZY HAIR. There are people who actually need to look at the big white sceen on which pictures and words are projected upon to learn. Please, get out of our faces. (Its pretty funny, the seat behind him is consistently left empty). If i ever am forced to sit behind him i shall make him balance the Guiness Book of World Records on his head just to keep the damn thing down.

Specimen 4: Singlets (almost always from New Urban Male). Brrrrr... Nuff said.

Specimen 5: Sunglasses. Unless you're from Bollywood, please, leave them at home.

Specimen 6: That hot girl in the back of the room. Thank your mother for such brilliant genes, to be specimen 6 is your birthright. You're just plain distracting. omg. the chair melted.

If you have to make a fashion statement (or a fashion faux pas for that matter), do in on Orchard Road or somewhere else where someone would actually give you the right type of attention. Someone might actually find it artistic or something.

oh and miss specimen 6, come sit beside me;  its cooler here, and no - its not the air conditioner.
