-Sad Trials of the Invisible Human Shield-

Jonathan was spotted venting his frustration on a hapless, defenceless Super Bishi Bashi machine at a major shopping centre in downtown Singapore today. When queried, the disgruntled 19-year-old refused to comment, merely muttering "these damn dice...." between clenched teeth.

Sources close to him, however, shed some light on his despondency. Apparently, it was at that same building a week ago that he was unwittingly used as a shield of sorts, a screen to protect a close friend of his from the advances of a lusty student from an eminent institution in the States.

The girl in question, according to a close friend, is herself the subject of Jonny Baby's affections. The maligned LSE student, set to start his 2nd year in October, feels very used and, to a certain extent, hurt. To make matters worse, the girl herself recently embarked on a relationship with someone else, news that apparently JB has not yet been informed of, and which is certain to deepen his dejectedness.

Just the tonic he needs as a farewell gift before he jets off to Australia tonight to visit his sister, then.
