Romance in 6N: Chapter 3

As students hurriedly rush to their next period in the short 5 minutes allocated, two students leisurely take an enjoyable stroll through a corridor. Content in the presence of one another, their blissful happiness contrasts starkly with the stress weighing on all the other students around. It is indeed heart-warming to see such a fortunate couple being there for each other. With the power of this love, surely no obstacle or trial could stand in their way. 6N would-be romancers should look to this model couple for inspiration =)

Romance in 6N new character.
Character role: comic relief
Character background: A solitary figure, wrapped in his private emotions of lonliness and despondence sits in a corner and stares into space. Thoughts chase each other through his mind but one thought rises above all -- where is the love of my life that will enter my world? As his eyes flit across the LT, they fall upon heroine tricia and in that instant something within him clicks.... And so, the competition begins.

The Science of Romance in 6N (Special Edition)

Referring to Yong Sheng's post:
Gerard(refering to yiting):"She's all mine!" Using your own words as far as possible, analyse this quote.

People say that affairs of the heart cannot be easily explained by rational concepts. That is all too true, so I shall not try to. In this post, I am going to attempt to recreate the circumstances under which this famous quote (if it wasn't famous before, it is now) was uttered by Gerard.

The quote "She's all mine!" suggests a challenge hidden between the words, a staking of claim over a prized possession, a locking of antlers as two dominant males attempt to take down the other in order to achieve breeding rights. Gerard apparently feels that his claim is threatened, and is reiterating it forcefully, with the "!" to reinforce his point. And since Yong Sheng appears to be the only one so far who has heard this quote, it seems that the quote is meant for him, putting Yong Sheng into the role of a new rival male.

The possessive tone apparent in the quote suggests that Gerard may be overly possessive of Yiting, which is rather unhealthy by general opinion, because if Yiting happens not to be the submissive type, it will result in stress and strain in future relationships, creating numerous, but significant horsts and grabens, ultimately resulting in a large fault as wide as the African Rift Valley, or even enmity, which can scar a person for the rest of his life. As the saying goes "If you truly love a person, release her and she will come back to me (i.e. a rival, for which we already have a candidate)." Or something like that.

The "all", though important, is not absolutely necessary in the quote, as "She's mine!" will roughly have the same effect. Roughly. The "all" indicates that Yiting is able to be divided (suggesting that she is not prime material, and has several factors. No offense intended, but according to Gerard, that's the truth of it), but Gerard is apparently not willing to share her, especially with Yong Sheng, which I believe is unhealthy, as friends should always share good things (yes, Yiting, compliment) with each other.

In conclusion, I would like to advise Gerard to:
1) Be less possessive of Yiting, start the relationship on an equal footing
2) Share her with Yong Sheng

And that is my humble two cents of advice which I give as a friend, despite the fact that the question asked for an analysis and not an opinion.

PS No offense intended to anyone mentioned, or anyone not mentioned at all (i.e. OCC)
=)







PPS Some people have given me feedback on this, burning a lot of my mana. And the last part about OCC may be hard to get. So I shall analyse it.
I am apologising to all whom I offended, including OCC. even though he was not mentioned.

Romance in 6N: Chapter 2

While all of u have witnessed a long intriguing piece of literature in chapter 1, i shall now present all of u with a short but equally intriguing quote.

This happened last friday.

Gerard(refering to yiting):"She's all mine!"

=)

Romance in 6N: Chapter 1

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the usual noise that fills the classroom, therein lies a space of quiet occupied by two figures sitting closely together in concentration. As you move closer, you see that our hero chinny and heroine tricia are sharing a moment of privacy together. Chinny patiently explains the mathematical concepts of vectors while tricia listens in rapt attention. They are in a world of their own, a world with just the 2 of them, where all the distractions around them disappear from their awareness. As you watch this couple, you know with an unexplainable certainty that a deep and profound romance is slowly but surely blossoming between these two individuals.

We are, all of us, just storybook characters...

Hi everyone! happy new year!
I'm feeling bored this day before school starts, so I would like to post that I've been working on the first instalment of Saga of 6Nations, which is...more than half done. So that means it can probably be done by...the end of January? which will give you guys a more complete idea of what it's really about...the List of Characters.

We are, all of us, just storybook characters...
The seer asks, “I wonder if there’s such a thing as free will in this world.”
“Well, you yourself said that your visions are not set in stone, and the future is…um…gooey, watery, runny,…fluid? And besides, it’s been scientifically proven that there is no such entity as Fate.”
“There may not be Fate, but there’s the entity known as the Author.”
...our limit of intelligence lies only as far as that of the Author's.

haha. feel insulted? =)
and lastly, I would like to ask this question that's been puzzling me:
"If pigs don't fly, what is their purpose in life?"

goodnight.

Row, row, row your boat

Day 2

"In the depths of winter, I finally learnt that within me there lay an invincible summer."

Albert Camus

Woke at 6(i think). Getting adapted to the cold really quickly(or so i tot). Daringly walked out of my tent in just shorts and a shirt. Was the only person to do that, other than our aussie guides =) My cold resistance rocks man.




Anw, i forgot to mention that a few other aus ppl had came to join us on our paddling down Murray(pronounced Ma-Ree) river, while peter didn't come along. He had papers to mark, being head of the school. The people who joined us were Rob and Leia. So we had breakfast, bread with spread, and then got ready for paddling.





We're using one sided paddles, unlike the 2-sided ones we use for kayaking. and the canoes are also open -top ones, as u can see, unlike the close-top kayaks as well. It's 2 ppl to one canoe, so Meiting asked to pair up with me. We were taught a few basic skills for paddling(cuz it's slightly different frm kayaking), as well as how not to capsize if we hit smthing side-on, and took sometime getting used to the fact that the front person cannot steer much. The front person is just mindless horsepower and the back person(which was me) has to steer.



The scenery was so beautiful in the morning, with the clear blue sky cloudless and the trees standing tall by the riverbank. Looked just like one of those pictures u see in the calendar. lol. So after that we got back to dry land.And were then asked to go for a swim, to prepare for capsize drill. Rob said that if were alrdy wet, we'd be less likely to not want to capsize. lol. And damn it man, the water was totally freezing lah. Like ice water like that. I stepped in, shivered, and turned numb almost immediately. Drifted out witht the current, then swam back to shore. After that, watched the other grp humji frm the freezing water haha. They went in only a bit. Went to do capsize drill after that. Which was damn fei. Me and Meiting chose qte a bad place to capsize in, like some dirty place with weeds floating on them. And the moment i went into the water, all my body functions disappeared lah. like i just totally froze and forgot how to swim for a split moment. That was how cold the water was. Anyway, we then went back to shore and loaded our bags on. Cuz we were doing journey type canoeing, meaning we dun hav a base camp and we just keep moving down the river and kep finding new places to camp till we reach our destination. cool man. so if we capsize, our stuff will gg. haha.




Yup, that's my paddling partner Meiting. She's like the only girl i can find who's shorter than yt. haha. And so we started paddling down the Murray river, starting frm 1820km from adelaide, the place where yt went. lol. Brendan and the aussie ppl are damn pro and natural man. They just paddled down the river, looked out for and took any suitable place to stop and then they'll use it. They hav no fixed place in mind so it made our journey very flexible. pro man. unlike those kind of paid guided tours where they hav specific destinations.




Paddling down the river with trees on both sides was nice, damn nice. really beautiful. and u get to see a lot of birds overhead or water hens swimming in the water. and there're a lot of fallen trees by the sides of the rivers and they're dangerous cuz they can capsize u if u hit them. We made a random stop for lunch, and then paddled again till we stopped for dinner.

The first photo on top is our stop for lunch, and the second, our campsite for dinner. Nothing eventful, cept i learned how to do the j-stroke! It's a stroke where you can do one man paddling on just one side of the canoe and the boat wun turn , instead of going in circles. yay. and learned a bit of gossip abt meiting when our teachers, Ms Pang and Ms Lim paddled over. haha. They're the ones in the background of the photo of me and meiting. Anw, we went for a walk after dinner, when it was alrdy dark. Attempted to spot animals, witht the aid of Brendan's red light, which is less harmful to the animals' eyes compared to the white light we use. Found nothing though, so we went back to the campsite. And went to sleep. haha.
