The Legends Of Zelda XVI

(Reissued from June 8 2005)

Hmm.

Today, we had initially gathered for the Design Seminar thingie on the 2nd floor of Block Q in anticipation of entering LT Q-10. However, due to the presence of several foreign individuals (people whom I am unfamiliar with), our admittance into LT Q-10 was somewhat delayed.

For that period of time between 8:50 and 9:10 before Garry arrived, I had managed to procure a can of ice lemon tea and discovered that Alvin had arrived during my absence, and beside him was Tijah and Zelda.

Soon after, Tijah, Alvin and myself (still drinking from can) had become engaged in a loose conversation, and Zelda just hovered around the perimeters, occasionally pouncing into the conversation with either a small statement to reinforce the previous statement (notice that she does this a lot of times), or simply bursting aloud in laughter. This is the sort of behaviour which justifies the (many) reason(s) why I am writing this post... She is just damn irritating.

As I was wearing a shirt provided by the pub, which had three illustrations in the order of left to right: a big "I", a pint of guinness and a three-leaf clover. If anybody has the least amount of sense, they might interpret this sequence of 'icons' as the sentence: 'I Love Guinness' or 'I c(love)r Guinness'.

However, upon noticing this perculiar t-shirt being worn by the grand master of indifference (moi), Zelda ventured forth to ask me some stupid questions something:

Z: 'What's that??!!' (pointing to icons on my shirt)

C: 'It's just a simple t-shirt design' (reverts back to state of indifference by slurping on my straw)

Z: 'Yeah, but what does it mean?'

C: '...'

Z: 'Why does it have a three-leaf clover on it? Isn't a four leaf clover lucky? Why did they choose a three-leaf clover??'

C: 'Uh... dunno'

Z: 'So do you know what it means?'

C: 'I'm not sure.. it's just a t-shirt design, yeah?'


Notice that at this point in time, I'm just trying to keep my answers short so that she will not find some sort of reason to ask me more questions.. also I never looked her in the eye during the whole conversation, instead being engrossed with my can of ice lemon tea.

The ploy worked!

We proceeded up to Block M Level 6, due to some lecture hall booking problems, and we ended up in the big studio and we then awaited the task to be given to us by our lecturers.

Soon after, Zelda started some sort of attempt to try and appear smart and witty by telling a joke. I guess her joke failed altogether, because she was to only one who laughed, and I yawned ever so conspicuously, much to Alvin's approval - he gave that sort of grin which said:

"Dude... you are so evil"

Indeed I am.
