and wep has finally concluded.

actually, besides the LACK OF PAY, wep was actually a rather cool programme you know! it's a way to feel how the outside world is like, where there are no 4Bs, irritating superiors that nag at you and hidden cameras all around you so you can't break rules. otherwise, i made quite a number of friends there (not only RI or other schools, but people who are like 30-something-ish), and interacted with a number of people.

including a few ex-RI guys, one of which was a client of morgan stanley (or so it seemed).

he very kindly asked about the state of RI now, and i grimly answered, as honest as possible. the discipline had vanished, competition was no longer too friendly, theft and dishonesty was all abound etc.

he was taken aback.

i asked him why, and his reply left me stunned. he said, ri then was a wonderful school with wonderful friends, keen but friendly competition, and very very strong friendships and class spirit.

he added, that weekend he was due for a class gathering. imagine, he graduated from ri in '84! and they still make it a point to have a class gathering, 24 years from their graduation year!

i know and i trust 4B will (and can) match and even better that, but i'm just disappointed in ri as a whole now. i'm sorry i sound very evil, un-patriotic and an idiot, but i miss the school that was there a few years back.

anyway as usual i was bored, so:

morganstanley?!

what do you get when you mix a bunch of stirrers, a class-sick person and a lot of time?

a nicer photo of essentially the same thing.

anyway this was inspired by shneg, who wrote the names of all of us when he was bored in a classroom during oip.

jlpt lesson was unanimously disastrous for us, as we learnt that if you don't study for jlpt you might as well donate your $45 to charity. it was really screwed.

won't be around for the weekend.
