So there is this guy who asked for a girl's hand in lecture some time ago and the thing caught fire online, guys might think "way to go dude" but the problem is, this girl does not know the guy. It just won't work unless the girl already know you and is already interested in you. But lucky for the guy he didn't succeed, cos he obviously just jumped into this by impulse. Incidentally, the lecturer who agreed to help this guy taught me before, he's a nice guy who tries to remember his student names, yes all the hundred of us. There are just not enough lecturers in NUS who are this devoted to teaching.

Traditional dates are not for students (unless your are rich) and that's that. Didn't hear about the news that movie tickets are going up to S$9.50 for weekend tixs? Well, now here's a breakdown of a standard dating package.

Even if they decide to go dutch, it's still cost you a Maths textbook. So he should be glad that he made quite a savings. And the gahmen still wants to romance singapore? Wait till I go onto the Standard Fiance/Fiancee Package and the Standard Marriage Package.

Things to learn from this episode. Do not ask a girl to be your valentine in public, especially when you need to attend lectures, tutorials and exams with the same people in the foreseeable future. Now the guy have a time bar of 3mths-1yr before he can go after a different girl. I can imagine what will happen should he go after another girl before this episode is forgotten.

Guy: Girl, take my hand
Girl: Dun wan, people dun wan your hand then you offer to me
Guy faints
