The Great Shu nu Challenge: the Prelude

It’s really getting rather depressing how the guy’s opinion of Wk and I has dropped to such abysmal levels. They seem to think that I’m some hua chi, money-grabbing kinda gal who is always keeping her eyes peeled for cute/hunky/semi-naked/muscular/uniformed/basically any guy within the 10-40 age group. How they got this impression I have totally no idea. But I’ve a feeling Wk has got something to do with it. The other day SC actually asked me in all seriousness whether or not I’m really like that…Sheez…
Here are some scenarios to illustrate my point:

Scenario A: Because I fell sick the previous night and also because the clinics are extremely cold, I wore a ¾ sleeve knitwear type of blouse to sch. It was very hot in the afternoon at the bus stop.
WQ: wo3 kan4 dao4 ni3 dou1 jue2 de2 rue4. (he purposely said this in Chinese because in English it just seems wrong.)
SC: Aiya she purposely wore that just so that guys can say that she looks hot.
Me: ……

Scenario B: We were walking by Jh’s swimming pool.
SC: Look Jamie! Got guy swimming in the pool!
Me: ……. (+ sweatdrop)

Scenario C: On the bus, since Wk, Zh and Fay were sitting together on one side of the seats, I went to sit on the opposite side so that I can talk to them. Who knows the guys all sat on their side of the bus, leaving me alone on the other side, between 2 secondary sch boys sitting 3 seats away from me.
SC: See where she sits, prefers the boys to us.
WQ: Even the young ones can’t get out of her clutches.
Me:……. (+tears)

Scenario D: I found a white coat button on the floor so I picked it up.
Me: I found a button, whose is it?
Everyone: (checking their white coats).
WQ: eh! I think it’s mine.
Everyone else: ohhhhhh wowwww (hoots and made other gossipy noises)
SC: Wah no need to take things so fast la, still have another year together mah.
Me:….. what have I done to deserve this?!!!

There are also many many many many more scenarios, dating back all the way to Emed and maybe even Radiology, which was just 1 month after we all knew each other.

As for Wk, I dunno how or why, but she became known in our CG as the Queen of Contraception, just because she revealed some knowledge in that area.

Anyway, on Friday I was really getting quite distraught and bewildered by all the wronged accusations flung at me, so Wk suggested that we can act shu nu one day to convince the guys that we’re quite prim and proper. I gave a noncommittal grunt because well, I think of all the ideas that Wk had over these 3 years, this was the most ridiculous. Then she had to issue me a challenge, in front of SC some more, to compete who can be the most shu nu for the day. Winner gets a treat from the loser, the guys shall be the judges. SC kindly volunteered that even if the winner is quite clear cut, the judges will collaborate and vote 3-2 so that it wouldn’t be too embarrassing.
Naturally, I wasn’t very happy with the treat clause, since the silly idea was hers and the only reason why we will be doing this in the first place was the guys’ faults, I suggested that maybe we could persuade the guys to give the winner a treat instead.

Oh well, seems like there’s no turning back. The contest will be on Monday. Meanwhile, you can start to place your bets.
