My Class Project Group (1998)
Well, firstly, I need to explain what is a Class Project Group (in case some people don't know). In every classes, we are required to do presentations and projects for the modules which we take and thus, we are allocated into sub-groups to prepare and present the projects. This three poor fellows happen to be stuck in the same group as me for all the modules (GOD help them!) and thus, were subjected to all my nonsense and crap (it's a miracle they didn't go insane). At the time this photograph was taken, we were doing our 'Valuation' project and Shufen and I had just returned from taking "exciting" photographs of funny-looking buildings in Bugis, while Eng Chen and Rachel were slogging away at the library for information. This photograph was taken near our school's Central Library due to the fact that we had too much film to waste (Smart and attentive readers will notice that the photograph was taken on 11/09/1998)
From Left: Shufen, Ah Zhong, Rachel, Eng Chen
Shufen: This poor girl has just returned from a "tiring" trip to Bugis, which involved eating chocolate ice-cream, dripping the cream all over my stuff, and then putting the blame on me. Most of the photographs of the buildings in Bugis were taken by her (under my supervision of course), and she was actually so nice that she later helped me do my part of the work in the project, which involved typing and thinking (both of which I can't do). Observant readers would have noticed the "Chinabowl" hairstyle that she was sporting at that time and this was due to the fact that she had just a bad hair-cut the previous day (later in the week, she spent more money on another crappier hair-cut, but I should not elaborate on that as I am grateful to her for helping me. Furthermore, I do not want her boyfriend to come and beat the crap out of me for saying the "truth" about her hair).
Ah Zhong: Yes, that's me sitting on the railing looking like a clown. They actually wanted to push me down but couldn't bring themselves to do it after looking at my pathetic face. Voted unanimously by everyone as "The Laziest and Most Useless Member in the Group", I'm so bad that I couldn't even complete my own share of the work and had to beg Ah Fen to help me do it. Real likely candidate for the "DIM's List" award.
Rachel: Tired girl who was worn out after a "fruitful" day's search at the school's Central Library with Eng Chen for information. I believed she used a system called "osmosis" to look for all the information and this process involves closing her eyes, lying down on the book, and waiting for the information to diffuse from the book to her brain (some "uncultured" people actually call it sleeping). That explained the reason why she was looking so tired (man, hard work pays!).
Eng Chen: The only guy in the group who does REAL WORK. Could have being a real likely candidate for the DEAN's List award (which is where they put all the students who can score "A's" as easy as they can drink water), if not for the fact that he was "burdened" by my idle presence in the group. He is also the only guy I know who have this on-standing morbid phobia of anything associated with typing. Put him in front of the computer with something to type and he can give you gibberish (I am serious!). Also known as "Lobang King" because he have so many smart friends around and this ensures a sturdy supply of model answers for tutorials to everyone who knows him.
