Why I Think Malcolm has a Crush on Ruixian
I introed Malcolm to Ruixian (who I apparently give tuition to even though she doesn't even look like she needs tuition) the other day on MSN because Ruixian wanted to go to RJC, and although I told her that it's hard for someone not from RGS/RI to go to RJC without taking Higher Chinese, I wanted to show her that it's still possible to get into RJC without taking HCL. Why do I think Malcolm has a crush on Ruixian? Because he goes slightly insane with her around, or when her name is mentioned. Examples to follow. But well, he was behaving so bizarrely in his first conversation with Ruixian that she actually made a post all about him! Yup, with snippets of the MSN conversation as well! It's entitled 'A Rocket Through Me', dated 07 Nov 2006.
I told Malcolm at the start that he was invited into the conversation because he didn't take HCL and yet still managed to make it into RJC. He nicely spoilt my plan to convince Ruixian that she can get into RJC without HCL by saying 'i dun have HCL... but... i got 1st for my chinese in RI in sec 3! >.<'. Sheesh. But of course Ruixian didn't even get the idea that he got in because he's from RI (affiliation), and instead decided that it was because 'people don't have HCL but got 1st in chinese'. Bleah. Both kuku de. Seriously. And what's up with the name of her post? Please please please don't tell me the rocket is Malcolm.
Ok now I cannot stop laughing.
Malcolm then proceeds to make really bizarre statements in the conversation. This is one (in my opinion that is) of them 'xianYES IFU WAN MEDICINE U MUST GO RJ'. Malcolm has already explained to me why he says this is the case. He says that most of the people in NUS medicine are from RJC. I agree with that. But being as I explained to him, the high % of people in NUS medicine being from RJC does not mean that you need to go to RJ to get into NUS medicine. Most of those in NUS medicine came from RJC simply because RJC is (or at least was, in our year and before that) the school that had the most triple Science classes. Since you had to take all 3 sciences at A level standard in my year and before to get into NUS Medicine (not just Chemistry like now), it would be highly likely that RJC with so many triple science classes would have a high proportion of their students going on to study Medicine next time. This compounded with the fact that you actually have to do decently well in the A levels to get into Medicine, and that you can't normally get into RJC without good O level grades (meaning you'd be more likely to get good A level grades as well), means that people in RJC doing triple science (the requirement for entry into NUS medicine) are also likely to score will in the A levels (another requirement for entry into NUS medicine), and hence many of those in NUS medicine are from RJC.
Hence, I felt, and still feel, that in order to get in to NUS Medicine, studying in RJC is not a requirement. As I stated in the MSN conversation, my brother is from NJC and he's in NUS medicine. I also think that if you're a girl (hence NUS doesn't really want you in Medicine, they have admitted it themselves), and you're not from RJC, and you're taking triple science, chances is that you'd have a post in either the student council of your JC, a post in some CCA/ECA, or both. Thus chances are really really high that's you'd get into NUS medicine, perhaps even higher than if you were a girl studying triple science in RJC, simply because an abnormal proportion of students in RJC take triple science, and not every single one of these students can hold posts in their CCA/ECA, or even be in the student council.
So basically I thought Malcolm was a little mad. But then again, who doesn't go off on the wild side every now and then these days? Hmmm.. Then I take a closer look at the statement, and realise, eek, he's calling her Xian! Know her for only 5 minutes, hasn't talked to the other sisters of hers (their names all start with Rui, so they call each other by the 2nd part of their names), and he's already calling her Xian! Waaaaa. Even I don't call her Xian. Hmm... but that's coz I think Ruixian is a nice name, and Xian sounds, erm, weird.
His insanity about photoshopping a degree can be read about on Ruixian's post (which was probably the reason why she even blogged about him in the first place?) so I won't bother to discuss it here. Malcolm then goes estastic when he finds out the post is actually about him 'omg she admitted the post was abt me!!!', but not before admitting that 'omg... i am going to check if xian replied... i must be in love with her >.<'. And then in response to my question on Puffy's blog about what he is looking for in his future partner (this post also made coz of that Ruixian >.<), he goes and says 'oh yeah... thats a nice to have criteria for future partner' in response to me kidding that it's good that 'at least she (Ruixian) lives so near you can send her home all the time'. Er? As I said in the MSN conversation, 'future partner' kinda = wife, and I'd be really sorry if his wife doesn't live with him >.<. And then Malcolm goes on to say that one of the most important criteria he has for his companion is that she doesn't 'run away'. Errr. He later admits that he doesn't really know why he even mentioned run away. I suspect the mere mention of Ruixian drives him insane.
But then again, Malcolm claims to always have been insane. I insisted that he is usually more normal, and challenged him to name an incident where he actually appeared to have lost this much of his mind without being under the influence of Ruixian. He couldn't, or wouldn't. Then, while waiting an infinitely long time for the 173 to take us home, he comments that maybe they discontinued the bus service. So maybe it IS possible that he doesn't have a crush on Ruixian, and just sometimes goes into fits of insanity, because we took 173 to get there in the first place just 1 hour before.
Of course I could say that Malcolm has made a deeper impact on Ruixian than I thought he would have (gee.... talk to him ONE time on MSN and HE gets a post.... know me for 5 years and I have to write one for her instead o.O), and that she has also affected him more than I thought she could have (ok maybe he's just bored). Goodness knows. But now I can always suan Malcolm, and call him a paedophile =P.
Oh did I forget to mention that Malcolm nudged Ruixian on MSN by mistake, decided that she nudged him, and told her he was playing game and would talk to her later?
Insanity I tell you.
