Tea with MOE

Just came back from Buona Vista. Could have been playing LAN with Eddie Cai and Ginway, but realising that Eddie was a "bad influence", Zhengxian and I decided to go for the talk instead. Eddie vigorously tried to tempt us to play, but we stood our ground. Had to wait for Zhengxian for a brief moment, as he originally wanted to rest at home. Saw my senior heading to the overhead bridge. Initially thought that he was going as well (which explains for the overwhelming response). Turned out that he was going to NUS.

Went there early, with medium security around us. We deposited our bus passes in exchange for visitor tags. Saw the Desert Rose's name. What a pleasant surprise. (actually half-expected her as well). Looks like she is not here yet.

The talk lasted for 1 1/2 hours. Felt n0nchalant about this, as teaching does not really appeal to me. Regardless, if opportunity comes (and grace), I will not miss it. Sat near Nic tan, Sng and Sx. At the end of the talk, I finally saw the Desert Rose. She truly lives up to her name, wearing a simple red outfit.

I still do not comprehend why after these many months, I still find her attractive, despite encouragements (or rather discouragements) from friends to move on. She must have been pretty smart (i.e pretty and smart). Dared not woo her now, as I'm scared of breaking whatever fragments of friendship that I have with her; And she needs to study as well, and do well....cant be a bad influence. Even if somehow I manage to be successful, it won't last long under this testing times of exams. Anyway, my head tells me that I have to concentrate on my subjects, to upgrade all my kings to aces. Forget about her.....temporarily. Am thankful that I get to see her everyday, and that she is safe and sound.
