lesson #146: nice guys

"So-and-so said that he's a nice guy." You must've heard that line before. I've heard it countless of times, I'm also guilty of having said it once in a while. But really. What does it really tell you about the guy when somebody says that he is 'nice'?


After much thinking, I've come into the conclusion that 'nice guy' can have three different meanings:
1. Nice = Literal Mr Nice Guy, carries books around for damsels in distress, pulls out your seat for you and opens doors, lets you go down the stairs first so he can't see up your skirt, and after a pouring rain he will take off his shirt and lay it down on the ground so you can step on it and avoid walking around a flooded patch.
2. Nice = Nice, just a bit insane.
3. Nice = He's nice because he's so boring I can't think of any other adjective to describe him.


Note: Based on field research findings, it has been concluded that Mr Nice Guy No. 1 is an urban legend.


Oh yes. Today the plan was to finish revising all Biz Law chapters but ended up slacking around. It's as if one part of my brain has fast-forwarded a couple of days and thinks it is already the holidays. YAAAAAAAY! Oh wait. Still have two more exams to go. Biz Law on Thursday morning and Finance on Friday afternoon. Gaargh.
