I've realised that NTU is a rather humourous place. We have humourous people, people who are the subjects of other's humour, not so humourous people, Xiao Ming, and Amos.
If you're wondering why I'm using the name Xiao Ming here, I'm actually using it because Xiao Ming is a universal hero to all primary 1 to secondary 4 kids who take chinese. Why do I say so? Who is the protagonist of all your chinese stories? Yes! The humble XIAO MING!
If you believe the stories written about Xiao Ming, he has seen countless windy and sunny mornings, (feng he ri li de zao shang) and been through all sorts of adventures that mostly depend on how proficient your chinese is. In other words, the better your chinese, the more fun Xiao Ming has.
It also happens to be the name of a certain lecturer. That, I assure you, is a mere coincidence. Ok that had totally no relation to my topic whatsoever. I just had to put it in.
As for why Amos is separate, I believe he'll tell you any day that he really is a unique person who can joke quite well. I second that. He recently increased his score from 1 to a 4. That makes him 300% more humourous! Unfortunately 300% of 1 is not a lot. Especially since its out of 10. Still fail. Try harder next time Amos. Lol. Nice hair anyway. And Happy 21st Birthday.
However I've also realised something about the humour in NTU. Its predominantly cold. Its not the kind that makes you laugh your head off. Its rather the kind that hits you as totally not funny, then you start laughing. But even when you do, its sounds like the kind of laughter when you realise that the female protagonist in your chinese story is called Xiao Ming.
Not very funny at all indeed.
