i wonder if it is just me, or is the new RJ a lot windier than the old campus? of course this question only applies to girls, seeing that the guys don't have to suffer the same consequences of an algae flare skirt. and also guys don't notice these things. they have bad peripheral vision and poor hearing and overall lousy sensory function. except if you're talking about food, then you'll realise that guys suddenly have very acute senses of smell, and can detect anything edible from a distance of up to 5 rows in the lecture theatre. that's guys for you; no point asking them about the wind strength in school.

anyway, the thing about the wind- i think bishan is on the whole a lot better ventilated and even without aircon in our homeroom, nobody's had to take out foolscap pads to fan themselves during class like how we used to during physics tuts in the miserable half classrooms in mt sinai. at the same time, i think that now it's a little TOO windy, especially along the corridors of the school. on friday me, walker and fishie were crossing the 'forbidden corridor' outside the chem labs on level 5, when suddenly this HUGE gust of wind blew by, and walker, who was in the front, got the full blast of the wind was directed at her skirt and made a very audible "FUCK" which i'm sure everybody on the level heard. so we quickly took shelter in the alcove outside the lab doors, where all three of us were laughing like mad. it's a good thing the guys had trooped off after their communal visit to the single toilet cubicle and weren't around when the incident happened. anyway, for the rest of the day, all the girls in our class walked around with one hand bunching our skirts up in the front, hoping to prevent further ahem, unintended exposures.

i guess the wind is ok when it's blowing downskirt (ie in a direction that blows against your body) but when it's blowing upskirt, that's when walking to and fro classes becomes a test of one's ability to predict metereological changes and make the mad dash to class before the next hurricane strikes. like really, there isn't a marilyn monroe in every girl.

if only we were allowed to wear jeans to school everyday; all our problems would be solved.
