Yesterday, I watched Howard Hawks' musical, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, for the Film Studies module and if you've watched it before, you'll know that the fiancee of the Marilyn Monroe character is a very nice and gentle but rather dorky and awkward guy called Augustus Esmond. Well, the funny thing was, when the character was first introduced at the beginning of the film, some guy sitting behind me in the LT said, "Hey, he looks like GY." Some of the girls around him began to giggle. And I began to think, "Yeah, he does resemble Dr Y..." and after that I simply could not look at Gus again without smiling to myself =)
Then I met Joan along the corridors after the screening and as expected, we began to talk about Dr Y. I haven't seen him for some time and I really miss him, and Joan misses him too! Yes, we all know he's not the most dashing and eloquent person around, but he's got his own kind of charm, haha. In fact, BOTH my HT research question and my Asia Moderns final term paper topic have strangely arisen out of a casual conversation I had with him during the summer holidays, so I guess I'm really indebted to him in many ways =)
