It's the summer hols, here at SMU. Hence, life around is at its dullest, especially since the tribal dance beat- band practice under our study room, has FINALLY stopped.
The profs are touring the world for various seminars and the only people left here at the School of Economics, are us-the wearied and tired Masters students, and people from various companies having their training sessions/seminars.
To make my dull day a little more fun, are some nut cases that loom around the building. I shall endeavour to pay my tribute to them
1. The fat gulti lady at subway-( For sure she does not eat at subway). I visit subway every single day for my lunch and dinner. While the other sweet girl, Grace, has got my order down top to bottom(parmesan oregano 6 inch bread, no cheese-toast, all veggies except pickles, honey mustard sauce and a little chipotle south west, and pepper + Ice tea(small)), this lady always attempts to know my order, and gets it all wrong. "Ah its you, honey oat bread isn't it!". I sweetly decline all her guesses. And finally she adds, "and a coke lite!!".
This is all a little frivolous, but on a daily basis to face her, changes my mood from bored to irritated. Its a change nonetheless.
2. The metrosexual tamilian chap at subway- Clearly in his thirties, but thinks he's 18. Very Very gay. On his bday recently got his hair coloured blonde first(did a photoshoot)..then changed it to beyonce bronze. I was pleasantly(open mouthed) surprised to see his new look, and complimented him, and asked him the question that was begging to be asked.."So how come you decided to go for this look?". He replied, "When you're young la, you got to try all these things no..". Hats off to him. I quite enjoy his company. I get my dinner sub(all of the above with an oven roast chicken breast) made by him everyday.
3. The tamilain security guard with the purple eyes- She looked the typical tamilian, black eyes, curly hair, bindi, glasses, on the healthy side and I used enjoy my hello's and goodbye's and "unga saapda vanga?" "saapda aacha?" with her.Until one day, I stopped dead in my tracks. She had gotten herself new purple(light mind you) contact lenses. "Cool!", I told her, "Matches your shirt!"..what a thing to say..
Well I could go on..but i go to get back to my thesis.
Also picked up the Nokia 6230i phone. Not bad. 230 sing dollars..about Rs. 8000
