Spectacular Embarassments:

Victim of circumstance #1: Kin Ching
Incident of which the above was victimised: (as related by Kin Ching himself) "That day some people was giving out shampoo samples outside the school gate, and there were some idiots who poured those shampoo samples onto the long benches of LT4. Unknowingly I sat on one of the benches which was well-shampooed during Physics Lecture. The rest is history... but luckily that shampoo is relatively colourless and not that foamy... imagine it is colourful and vvery foamy... all I need to do was add water."

Victim of circumstance #2: Eu Jin

As everyone expected us not to know what to answer, Yunxi bravely answered the question with so much accuracy that the lecturer didn't know what to say for quite a while."

Victim of circumstance #4: Imran
Incident of which the above was victimised: "During one of the chemistry lessons with the other class, Imran, Jack and Eu Jin were sitting behind this girl and Imran started talking about her.
