There. Done.

The (potential) last paper I will ever have to sit as a student ended some 2 hours ago, and I am here again in Law School. Not because I cannot tear myself away from the greatness that is (Law School), but I found it nice to walk down from Camden to Waterloo with my housemate M and good friend D. Yes, a long way, I know, but still, the air was balmy and the sunshine so lovely, I couldn't help but find it so much better than being stuck in a stinking stuffy Tube train at 3 in the afternoon.

On a slight side point, the exam could have gone a lot better, given that I found that I was groping in the dark for some answers. Nevertheless, I did the best I could, and hopefully I came to the right conclusion for said questions. From this day on, it'll be all down to prayer and hoping for the best.

Have just had an interesting discourse with the Mok, formerly known as the Mok Ness Monster, about why Asian men can only attract a certain set type of Caucasian girl. In his opinion, they tend to be of the pale, hipbag-slinging, mousey variety*. (Asian men take note: Before his thesis hits the shelves, I'd just like to say that what the Mok says does carry some weight. After all, it was only after we witnessed no less than three couples walk by did he note the distinct similarities between them. The hipbag, odd gait, regulation short-short haircut - the signs were all there. We had just never seen it before. This brought out a whole slew of anecdotes and nostalgic remembrances on both our parts as we trawled the Internet (handy resource that it is) for past loves and not-so-loves to substantiate our points. Surprisingly, when the situations are reversed, things are very hard to forecast. After all, you have so many stereotypes when it comes to Caucasian men/Asian women, it's astounding. In fact, there are even sub-castes, much like the SPGs and gold-diggers of the early '90s. I guess that despite being able to argue that I am in pretty much the same situation (race-wise, not hipbag-wise), it's a tough call because when the situations are similar, yet so different from one another.

Cutting the discourse short, I think it would be prudent to lay my figurative pen down. The last word on today is that the end of exams has come and it's time to let my hair down for once. Also, it's amazing how much you can learn about someone after spending a couple of hours sitting next to them in the computer room. So, for the record, we have decided that indeed:
"Asian men can ONLY attract white girls who are (a) mousey-looking, (b) have dirty-blonde hair, and (c) cross-body utility hipbags. Short haircut a must."~ Mok, on Asian men who have Caucasian girlfriends
Hm. Makes you think, really.
