The Good, The Bad, and the Lee Weng Yew

26^th November 2006, Tuesday.

Venue: Sixth Form Computer Room in Lounge.

Time: 8.30am.

The gallant editors of GISEYE decided to make today a suitable date for a couple of interviews, to update our blog, and partly to get our sorry behinds off the couch of daily life.

The first person who was interviewed is a very eccentric person indeed, and may only be judged by his superior intelligence, based on empirical evidence and theses that he has not even deduced yet. Below is the interview that your daring editors… well… dared to do.

FROM THE EYES (see what we did there!) OF WENG YEW NOT GOING TO PROM

What are you known as?
Clement. You can’t say this in your blog...

Are you taking part in the prom this year?
Not at all.

What are the grounds of your decision not to partake in the prom this year?
For that kind of money, I could comparably spend my time better. For example, I could get better food and not waste hours doing nothing at prom. And if everyone realized that, we could all just go out and have our own get together and spend our time more enjoyably.

Where?
Undecided. Anywhere beats prom. From past record, all the proms have been very extremely disappointing disappointing.

Would you say that those who attend are ignorant, such as Ben Bradley and Clement Chew?
They are not maximising their utility due to ignorance and irrationality. Partly a result of peer pressure. For example, a man called Verun agreed that prom is very boring but that the after prom party will be extremely fun. The irony of that statement is why don’t you just take that 120 and spend it on an after prom party during prom, thereby getting better food and not having to spend the entire night listening to crappy performances.

Black Shirt Mondays?
No. they are the highlight of an otherwise dull evening.

So will we expect you at this after prom party?
No. the after prom party will be too late. If I go to prom, I will be stuck with some of the pesky lower years.

Our next interviewee, is a somewhat frivolous lady from class 13S, who has kindly consented to this little interview. She has even provided a photo for us to use, albeit it being a side-profile, which shall appear may in the future.

FROM THE EYES (see what we did there again) OF ELAINE IS GOING TO PROM

What is your name?
Elaine Lai. Ben thinks he’s so funny. Maybe I should change my name to Elaine Truth.

Are you going to the prom?
Yes.

Despite several statements by unscrupulous people, what are your reasons for going to the prom?
I guess to spend time with my friends, especially Yun, cos she’s leaving. Verun will be a traffic guy holding Yun’s plane back.

Why did you originally plan not to go to prom?
Well you see, before this, I went to SEASAC, which cost 1700 ringgit and then camp, which is going to cost 400 ringgit. That’s already quite a lot of money.

Wouldn’t 120 ringgit justify the glory of being with your friends?
That’s why I’m going.

What is your opinion on such people such as Weng Yew who said that we are ignorant people to attend prom?
Oh my gosh! He sounds a bit radical. Just because people are going to prom doesn’t mean that they’re ignorant.

Do you think that the statement that an after prom party will be better than the prom itself is true?
It is more exclusive.

Do you think peer pressure is one of the main causes of people going to the prom?
No.

Are you asking anyone to prom?
No.

Thanks for your time.
You’re welcome. That was a useful waste of my time.

Both interviewees offered to pay vast amounts of money for the privilege of getting interviewed by GISEYE, however as humble, honourable, gifted and supremely talented editors, we declined the offers and instead would just like to say a short word of gracious thanks to both our interviewees Lee Weng Yew and Elaine Lai.

Guest Writer ‘I enjoy short days’ Ben Bradley says:
Yes our interviews were methodical, and weren't rather funny, but with calls from persons that a proper blog is one that updates everyday, we have little choice but to fill up this online column with this sort of filth. In particularly this short aside. Apologies. Take break and return five minutes later to continue reading alternative reading materials. May we suggest, the cleverly named ‘Zimo’ by Zim, or the mysterious surrealism malingerer ‘ohsoimba’ (Yi Xuan claims he is a fan) by Rusty, or the noble knowledge-based Weng Yew fansite ‘kingandee’ by Andy, or indeed, finally, quite the supreme overlord of Sixth Form blogging ‘The Great Blogging Experiment’ by Weng Yew.
