I freakin hate socialising and networking!!! Yeah I know.. but that's what AIESEC is all about. I mean, it's not that the people there are not nice. Everyone's so nice and friendly.. but it's juz that everyone else seems to know at least 5 other people there, and I know only one. And everyone seems to have some common topic.. and everyone seems to be so comfortable with each other.. but not me. Hell I really hate trying to make small talk when you don't even know what type of small talk to make!

Ok hmm. To be fair, I think some of the people there do not know each other very well either, but they were real good at socialising.. you know.. the type you know for only 5 seconds and they start talking to you like they had known you forever. But that's not me. So if you had been to Lau Pa Sat juz now, you would have seen a very intimidated KS sitting at one small corner trying to remain as inconspicuous as ever. Only that she failed the inconspicuous part. A few very very friendly people noticed this weird girl they had never seen before hiding in some small corner and came over to try to talk to her and make her feel comfortable. Except that they didn't know she's most comfortable remaining silent and listening to others talk. Sigh. Nvm.. tried to make more friends. Hey that's what Aiesec is all about isn't it!?

Ok so I chatted with a Susan, and a Pim, and a erm.. Lisa, and of cos not forgetting my exchange girl from NY Lindsay. Oh wait.. let's go back. Who did I say I chatted with? Susan.. and Lisa.... and Pim.. and aww shucks! Who's who now?! Damn! It's freakin embarrassing when someone you chatted with a while ago walks up to you to chat again, and u clean forgot her name! Urgh! And it happened to me not once... but many times!!! Damn.. that's what happens when your brain gets an overload.. try remembering the names of 100 people you juz met in the course of 3 hours! Ok I'm exaggerating.. maybe erm, 50? No no.. okok.. I think it's more like 20. Yeah. But my point is, it's juz IMPOSSIBLE!

Sigh.. but of cos! There's this one name I definitely remember. Jingwen. Erm.. it's a HIM btw.. wahaha.. a male called Jingwen.. Great! So now I know a female Jingwen and a male Jingwen!!! So cool! Yeah!! Doesn't this juz bring to mind the Paris VS Paris couple?! Hiakz... should I try to create a Jingwen VS Jingwen couple?! WOW! So cool! It's the latest trend! Shit.. I still can't find a guy called Kah Suan.. Damnit.

Oh anyway this Jingwen was telling me.. this girl jumped from his Hall 3 block yesterday... and she was still holding her mobile as she was jumping. Think she was talking to someone on the phone before she jumped. :X His analysis was.. probably relationship problems or results. BUT.. guess where this girl jumped from........................... the 2nd storey. And what the hell was she trying to attempt?! Suicide Breaking a leg. Which she succeeded in doing. Walau.. wanna jump mai hum lar. Jump from the highest level lar... whichever level that is. Though I'm not sure how tall the Hall 3 blocks are, I can be pretty sure it's not 2 levels. And in anycase, you can always go elsewhere to jump. I know for one, Hall 9 is 6 storeys high. That's not counting the hill. You wanna jump go jump there, confirm will achieve more than breaking 1 freaking leg. Yeah before the government throws me in jail for encouraging suicide, I better add this: all the above are meant as jokes. You jump from anywhere, yeah you might be trying to kill yourself. Have you ever wondered what might happen if you fail? What if you break a leg? Then you might become crippled forever. What if you injure your spine? Then you might become a vegetable. WORST OF ALL! What if you SCRATCH YOUR FACE?! Then you become DISFIGURED! FOR LIFE! Unless you have the money to engage Woffles Wu for a lot a lot of corrective surgery and skin grafting that is.

Uh back to the networking session. A whole load of Angmohs there... so totally hard to mix with them. Read this guy's blog about how locals love to get angmoh boyfriends... his name is Caramon Yeo? Or issit Carameo Yeo? Something like that.. In his blog he mentioned this Angmoh guy who managed to get a damn lot of local girls to bed him.. all willingly (according to Mr Angmoh). Wow.. the way he says it is freakin demeaning to local girls! There are girls who don't go for angmohs ya know? Like me. No common topic. Here's an example:
Angmoh," You watch OC?"

KS," Erm OC? Oh is that the one Tom Cruise acted in?"

Angmoh," Oh never mind. Err... you watch the Amazing Race?"

KS," Oh yeah! It's the one where they all run around a shopping mall trying to get stuff isn't it?"

Angmoh," Oh err.. not really. Oh you heard the latest about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt?"

KS, still trying to gek smart," Oh yeah. This one I know. Erm. Angelina divorced Brad rite?"

Angmoh," Oh you must be talking about Jennifer Aniston."

KS," YEAH! That's her! I dunno why I said the wrong name. Slip of my tongue."

Angmoh," Haha yeah it's ok."

KS, really trying very hard now," Oh I watch a bit of AI! Do you watch that? I like Clay and Kelly. My friend likes Carrie Underwood. But I feel this season AI has no special person that appeals to me a lot. How about you?"

Angmoh," AI? Oh.. uh.. I didn't watch that."

(-_-") So much for trying to make small talk.

Urgh and something really pissifying.. I juz realised this cutie from Finland is leaving Singapore soon! And this was only the 2nd time I was meeting him! Damn! So he came over, and KS was staring at him dreamily.. and desperately trying to wipe away the pool of drool on the table... and he said," Have I met you before?"
KS snaps awake. "Oh yes! At this LC gathering at NTU. You remember? You were presenting something, telling us more about Finland!" KS starts babbling.
Cute guy," Oh really? Hi I'm XX. Nice to meet you." Shakes hand with KS and moves to next person.
Damn.. I think he came over to say hi to me only cos he was enroute to saying hi to someone else beside me. How sad can my life get?! Boohoohoo.. and I juz realised this cutie sends a lot of emails, with his mobile number attached, to the aiesec group email I'm in. See lar.. lazy to open Aiesec email lar! U dunno what u have missed. Urgh!! And he had been here for the past 11 months. ELEVEN freaking months! Shit.. didn't make good use of the chance.
Urgh.. did I juz criticised some ang moh for making demeaning remarks about locals? Nvm.. forget I ever said that.
