A Shortage of Beauties at NUS (Faculty of Science)?

Brose laments on the lack of beautiful girls and fashion sense at his faculty. Anyone wants to refute his observation?

We can change the motto to “NUS Faculty of Science – Brains need no Beauty.” ... I used to have this theory that “A young and slim girl can’t look too bad.” The students in Life Sciences made me eat my words. ...

T-shirts, polo-tees and cargo pants seemed to be the standard uniform of the students here. The fashion sense of the students is appalling. ... Even my mum dresses better when buying fish and vegetables from the market.

T shirts, polo-tees and cargo pants are fine, so long as the colours don't clash, or they wear some "infantile" t shirt like elmo, hello shitty, or some wierd japanese sumo wrestler cartoon. that's the real turn off. then some would wear three-qtr cargo pants with track shoes and HIGH SOCKS! *arghhh* someone pls call the fashion police..

why do i noe so well? because i'm from fac of arts!!! *smirk*

not that art girls don't have horrible dress sense of course, (some can be overly appalling as well). but i think in general science girls tend to dress down too much, and arts girls dress up, too much.

bleah.

i feel your pain.....it aint any better in NTU Sch of Comp Eng.......and you can count the number of girls in the course with your fingers and toes..........

Put it this way, I welcome you to put your own photo up on the net and let all scruntise your aesthetic appeal. Please lah. When you are the paragon of malehood, Adonis of Singapore, then you come and criticise. BTW, I'm male. Funny how many guys critise girls for not being good looking.

Always I hear guy ard me saying how this girl is buang that girl is buang. But please hor, look in the freakin' mirror. So get yourself a chiobu girlfriend and when her friends secretly complain that her boyfriend's is buang and she's so "wasted", the come and complain here, ok, Mr Life Science. What goes ard will come ard.

Actually hor, I was hoping someone could post pics of NUS Science chiobu instead;that'll refute his claims ;-)

have to agree with hifi guy, but then again i'm female yeah...probable bias. But really, brose, you're supposed to be taking cross fac modules.

so why not take arts modules and pic up some girls there?

I mean, it seems that u've seen alot of arts girls around to make such a generalization, so i wonder how come you don't have dates with em?

This is disgusting. He got flamed so much that he took the site down :(

I'm not sure if anyone has observed, he copied parts of his 'farewell speech' from Bubblemunche! "The reason why I decided to terminate this blog is because the original reason for its creation and existence, is now gone. There is no point for me in continuing blogging anymore"

yeah, i was from NUS science too. For me, I didn't feel the need to dress up. Why bother when the rest of the male population in Science comes in bermudas and sandals too? It works both way...

However, when I had to go to Bizad for my human resource class, I made an effort to dress up.

Well, I graduated quite a few years ago, so I dunno how it is now. But heard that short shorts and skirts are appearing in campus.

eh, what, sial... the feller has to be good looking before he can criticize and comment ah

poor guy... got flamed till his blog shut down... wtf is this? wheres the freedom of speech!??!

My personal observation is that FoS has more beauties than FASS.

All right la, FoS got some good ones. But somehow FASS got larger % la. Hasn't that always been the case? FASS girls look better la. But why are people complaining?
Assume they care enough to comment as a true fact, else they wouldn't comment, preposition proven.
Logic:
If you don't dress to look presentable -> you won't look good -> if you don't care -> you won't argue.
If you don't dress to look presentable -> and still look good -> you won't care -> and you won't argue.
If you dress to look presentable -> you probably look okay -> you won't care -> so you won't argue.
If you dress to look presentable -> and still look bad -> if you don't care -> you won't argue.

So who's left to argue?
1) Those that don't dress, look bad, and yet care about comments.
2) Those that don't dress, look good, and care about comments.
3) Those that dress, but look bad and care about comments.
4) Those that dress, look good and just wanna act hero(ine).

2) and 4) no need to save, they're fine. One got luck one put effort.
3) can try saving, they may yet make it, maybe lack of guidance.
1) cannot save. Can't be bothered, still care so much.

So we recognise effort or just beauty?

Power of the masses.

aiyah, his only mistake was to not have said that both sexes in the faculty of science dress kena sai. And while we are on this topic, might I add that many FASS males look like they come to classes after delivering the morning newspapers.

you know just from reading this one realises that the lack of freedom of speech is not entirely the government's fault. one guy makes a stray comment and the masses jump on him like a pack of hyenas on a pound of flesh. Its more or less tantamount to suing him in court or dragging him thru the streets with his hands tied to a donkey's tail. The government seems to be merely following the general attitude of most Singaporeans in flaming anyone who voices a controversial or less than popular point of view. The simple fact that no one seems too perturbed by the fact that we're ranked 147 (one below Iraq, I believe) out of 160-odd countries in terms of media freedom speaks words in itself. Singaporeans simply have to change their general mindset towards people making less than politically correct statements if they are to expect any changes in this matter to occur.

or maybe people have to grow up and deal with criticism.

what? you mean you can criticize others but others cannot do the same to you har?
