.: Uncle Toby Misadventure :.

Yesterday was a terrible day, judging from the fact that I kept meeting into XX. (Now it is not safe to name. So from now onwards, I shall use XX to play safe. haha!) My luck to stay in the same hall as XX, my luck to be XX's Hall neighbour (but XX dont even know till now. Phew!), my luck to be XX's tutorial clasmate... damn. (A27ers, stop laughing at me about the laptop incident !)

Misadventure #1: At Library 2
During the 3 hours break before Maths tutorial, Xin, CH and I went to Lib 2 to do our Maths tutorial and print the Maths Text. By the time Xin and CH came back from the photocopying shop, it was almost time for tutorial but we hanged on a little while to do some bits of the tutorial before going off. Suddenly, XX came into the Reading Room and asked CH...

At 1515 hours
XX: Hi.. Are your going to the Maths tutorial now?
CH: ...Later on. Soon bah...
(Xin and Juan continued looking at tutorial.....)
XX: Orh okie... I'm going as well. I thought it's about time so ask you whether you are going or not...
(XX looked at CH...hoping for CH to say the words...)
XX: .......
(Knowing that it's a forlorn attempt and walk away...)

At 1523 hours
We packed our stuffs and getting ready to leave. (Silly CH even tried to use his bag to block XX's view) XX saw us came out of the Reading Room and immediately closed his laptop. The moment we saw what XX was doing, we whizzed off as though we just saw a ghost. Before XX could open his mouth and call us, we had already run up the stairs, heading for the exit. The moment we stepped out of the library, the three of us started burst out laughing hysterically...
When XX finally reached the tutorial room, he was panting quite heavily.. guess he did try to catch up with us... haha!

Misadventure #2: Foc interview
It came as a shock to see XX outside the interview room, waiting to be interviewed and It's even a greater shock to learn that XX was interviewing for PROGRAMMERS! Haha! No.. If you have thought that i tekan XX, you are wrong! (Even though i very much love to.. ..) But of course before the interview, his fate was already sealed for good. The 2 ACPs from year 1 were warned by us about XX's glib tongue and XX's past history. I put aside my misgivings for XX and let the juniors judged for themselves. XX entered the room and of course didnt seem to be too pleased to know that i was one of the ACPs. Well, as usual he displayed his glib response to some questions that we asked. XX talked about how he "admired" the programmers during the FOC that he went to and how much effort the programmers put in and were appreciated etc. His long winded answer again. XX "embarrassedly" told us that he was the ex-chairperson of the CBE protem. And when we mentioned about the canvassing and the money, XX seems quite reluctant. And after that, he still dare to say " Oh i know hard the FOC this year the seniors paid alot. " !!!! Still have the cheek to mention about this year's FOC. Cock ur head!!! I didnt want to ask XX too much question and let the others to interview him.

I only asked him about 2 to 3 questions.

My first question was asking XX about commitments especially during the Dec and May- July holidays. And I knew it! XX replied that he would not be free during the Dec Hols as he would be away for overseas holidays with the NTU travel service club where he is the Travel Director. XX kept saying that he would be busy and said that if we need to recce for program's venues, he would not be able to make it. --- commitment problems as usual lor...

My second question was asking XX what other subcomms he would like to join beside the programmers. of course, he said no and only wanted to join the programmers. smart. But since he didnt mention what else he wished to join, then we cant give you another position in other subcomms if no ACPs wants to take him.

When we ended the interview, XX asked about how many programmers we would be recruiting and "kindly advised" us not to recruit so much programmers because he personally felt that the more people there are, harder to control. Of cos, I "kindly explained" to XX that we need the manpower because afterall we do not want to strain our programmers if we have insufficient of manpower and more people to backup after what we experienced this year's FOC. -_- and XX knew he couldnt say much and said " Fair enuff..", left the room. Ha!
