WWBD: what would Bond do?

Target: I heart UTown sweets
Location: MPSH X, where I have no idea what is X
ETA: Afternoon 3

My bro went to the NUS open house yesterday and brought back some freebies.
I thought most of it was pretty okay...but there was one goodie that caught my attention.

This one.


I know the bottle looks like brands essence of chicken, but it rather nice, isn't it?
The "I heart Utown" was quite well designed.
But that is not the main allure. Its the candy inside that is very interesting. Every candy has its own unique design. I am actually very impressed with the effort placed into just making one gift.

Well, so when my brother brought it back, I thought "hey, this is pretty cool...so I decided to take one...then another... and another... before I knew it, it was almost finish.

And that was yesterday. So today, as I was going to school to study, I saw some people carrying the Openhouse bag. Then it hit me that the Openhouse was still opened. Then I thought to myself "hey, lets go get some candy...hehe...hehe...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA".

So I went to MPSH to get some UTOWN CANDY!!!!
I managed to pass through crowds of people disguised as a prospective student, getting goodie bags and acting like a new student. Its not like they would know or care, but who cares...I'm just saying this to build up the tension. Heck would I know where to find it...Then I trusted my senses, It should be where the faculties are...level 2.

As I entered the MPSH on the second floor, what caught my attention was the U Town booth. I knew it had to be there, otherwise where else could it be? So I walked over the booth, lo and behold sat bottles of UTown candy, right smack on the center of the table. I could just walk over and get it, but it would seem like I was just too damn cheapskate.

So I walked over and took a brochure. As a spy, you must always create a decoy. Decoys are crucial for the success and failure of missions, you can always over-plan but you can never under-plan. In a life as a spy, every decision is a life and death matter. If you want the candy, make it look like the candy wants you.

I took and brochure and briefly looked at it. Then i stretch my hand out to take a bottle. As I took a bottle, the lady at the booth suddenly approached me. The mission could have been compromised. Then she ask me, "Can I help you?"

At this moment, I knew I had to react. I had to. Experience in this line has prepared me for any surprises. I had to allay the suspicion. I looked at the brochure on my hand, looked through it and ask, "I was looking through this brochure and was wondering, what is this U town about?"

Well, I know it was a chessy question to ask. Almost as cheesy as "Am I dead, Angel? Cause this must be heaven!" But with my charm, I sure pulled it off. Of course, with that done, now I have to put up with her explanation which "frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn", now, go make me a sandwich. Actually I do give a damn, because a friend was asking me to apply for U town, I just wanted to use this quote from the 1939 film "gone with the wind".

But after hearing her explanation, well, I kind of didn't want to stay in U Town. Sounds like too much trouble, esp for a year 3 student who is going to graduate in 1 year. I had to make my leave, but she looked too enthusiatic in answering my questions to want me to leave. Damn my handsome looks, it just bring the girls to the yard and now they don't want me to go.

The fortunately, some smart alec girl beside me started to ask a smart alec question, "So if I do modules here, it will induce higher level thinking, right?". Why the hell do you want to take a difficult modules to stress yourself? its not like normal NUS modules wouldn't kill you. Look at the gullibility of freshies, I was once like then before, thinking that we can reach the sky, only to realise that the sky expands as fast as galaxies accelerate away from one another. But it created an opening and I took this chance to make my escape. Out of MPSH and back into the car.

Too much typing, too little sleeping, I be sleeping now. BYE BYE.
