Omigosh. It was a rather bad day today becos of two incidents.
First, it was by our Chemistry relief tutor. He's a nice guy. But i dont like the idea of him assuming what sort of person i am based on my looks. i wont blame him. Cos that is what most people do. That is also how the phrase "first impression" comes about. He said i look like that sort of people who will rush home upon the last chime of the bell to mug and study like there's no tomorrow. Gosh! Bet i surprised him loads when i told him i was in track & field. Oh well... This hasnt been the first time.
Second, it was another case of problem based on my looks. It was orientation for the J1s for track & field. Well, kinda late, but we owed them one becos we had to let them train for the National Cross-Country which was rather early in the year. But anyway, we played the game of guessing which secondary school we came from. There was this J1 girl, who said i had the look of a RV student and guessed i was from RV. Not entirely shocked, but i was sad to hear that. No no, i have nothing against RV. i am just sad that i lack the basic features of an ACSian. i dont know how to describe an ACSian to you, but i'll most probably know one when i see one. And i'm sure i'll be right with a 95% accuracy. The 5% will be just like me, someone in AC who looks like he was from somewhere else but there. Argh. This is saddening. But there's totally nothing i can do. There is nothing and no one i can blame, not even myself.
i'm highly superficial today.
