guailan man gives me a guailan look as i slide the window open. guailan man paces out and back in, pokes his laptop a little more, guailans his wife, strides over to peer out of aforesaid window beside guailan me, peeks at my notes and mutters.The GMan: Walter Woon. Currently ambassador to Germany!
Guailan Me: Yessir, no sir, I'm not aware of that sir!
The GM: So what are you studying, law? I graduated there long ago. With my wife (jibes energetically in her direction.) I wanted to get to know her so I pretended to sell her books. (Leans forward.) You know when boys try to sell you books they want to get to know you.
GM, acting cute: Yessir every bit the sly lawyer you are!
A smile sneaks across his face as he wags his finger at me. But he gives himself away asking how busy school is just before he leaves and looking suitably unimpressed when I mention open-book exams. Ha. Nothing like an Old Punk. Feels like something my dad'd have done. Oh well. Anyways WW's finished with his German stint and is currently ambassador to Belgium.
ION. Going through Hindu law notes and finding out I once read them quite thoroughly. No, this isn't a gripe about how I've managed to forget both what I've read and that I've read it, but more about how I've forgotten my (almost-certain) glee over how Hindu law is environmentally friendly. These dreams of mine, they're good only for dying. : )
