They say many things can alter one's luck-be it walking under a ladder or having a black cat cross your path. These little incidents bring about bad luck, they claim, and lead to Lady Luck deserting you. Others carry lucky charms with them wherever they go, hoping these small items actually bring good luck to them, Whether they actually work is anyone's guess. But what about a haircut? Does cutting one's hair after a long time actually alter one's luck? Does it symbolise the removal of the past luck, be it good or bad? Well, John Bow was about to find out.
Back in his hometown for the holidays, John made a bold decision to cut his symbolic brown locks. His decision was based on the fact that his hair interfered with his face while studying, and that it would affect his concentration during the finals. Back in Sunway, his luck seemed to have changed. For the worse. While he had always aced his Econs tests, he somehow fluffed his trials. For English, John managed to score a magnificent 100% for practice, but during the trials, reality bit him hard. And that was not the end of his misery.
It was safe to say John had a decent social profile in college, but that might all change now. His new hairdo brought upon unwanted attention, and with it came unnecessary rumours. Many claimed his hairdo made him look like a girl, a weirdo and what not. And with John perpetually seen with Hans Basil, it only substantiated those rumours. Will he brush it aside? Or will it deflate his confidence and crush his social life?
Speaking of rumours, did Jay Dic unintentionally create one for himself? Blurting out how much he missed and loved another guy was definitely not normal. Then again, nothing was normal with Jay Dic.
Snaya Dival's luck seemed to have changed for the worse too. First, she lost her boyfriend. And while she managed to deal with it initially, loneliness seemed to have caught up with her as she now battles being single while trying to uphold her image as being the reigning Sunway 'Queen'. And as if having her car totaled over the weekend wasn't bad enough, she had to endure a nerve-wracking shopping trip by herself as she was stalked by a pervertic psycho. Were all these signs that things are now turning for the worse for Sanya? Has Sunway University College's "It" girl fallen off her throne?
While some may be facing bad luck, Lady Luck decided to even the field and shine on certain others, like Hans Basil, Nick Ivans and Sue Anne. Hans had been struggling to put his priorities in order and as a result his studies had been backsliding. But, he seemed to have received some divine intervention as he suddenly planned out a study guide which he had been abiding to. On top of that, he seems to be getting lucky in another field, one where he has perpetually courted controversy. Time will tell if his luck persists.
Nick Ivans, depite knowing almost everyone in college, always felt the bitterness of being alone. His tricks and jokes, once a crowd pleaser, seemed to have fallen flat and hard as he tried, he never could revive them. While luck deserted him in his entertaintment aspect, it repaid him via another-one Nick had the misfortune of having experienced the dark side of before. Maybe this time he'll get lucky in that area.
Sue Anne had been complaining that she could never get any studying done. Whenever she forced herself to, distractions got in the way. Whenver she shoved those off, her mind wandered. When she put her mind to it, the words never seem to enter her brain. And so she resorted to whining and complaining to Hans, who could not help her as he himself was stuck in the same predicament. However, Sue recieved a pleasant surprise as she scored joint highest for the Accounts test, usurping even Jay Dic. No studying and highest in class? Some people have all the luck.
What about Angie Flo? Things seem to be pretty quiet with her these days. And will luck continue dealing its hand in the lives of these people? Or will they soon realise that luck can run out as easy and quickly as it first appeared...
