i like the lake house only for one thing, it had lotsa nice songs!

here are several quotes from yesterday:

during C(haracter)L(eadership)E(ducation):

ding: blablabla. you have the option of returning the $10 to its rightful owner, or donating it to a charity that obviously needs it more.
andrew (new aussie guy who's joining our class on an exchange programme for a month): ding dong bell, i think you should just take the money.

chinese teacher: 你们认为这样做是对吗？
andrew: (even though he doesn't understand chinese) yea!

here's a joke (if you could call it a joke...) told to me today, courtesy of edwin.

there was once a fish trainer who had a special ability - he could command a fish to move in any direction with just the point of a finger. one day, a man approached this trainer and asked for his guppy to be trained. "alright," said the man, "come back in 2 days". and so after 2 days, the man went back to the trainer. the trainer pointed towards the left, to the right, and finally in the centre. the fish followed suit. "amazing!" exclaimed the man.

the following day, the same man brought a goldfish for training. the trainer enjoyed similar success with the goldfish, but the man was still unsatisfied. "do it in a reservoir," challenged the man. the trainer complied, and brought the goldfish to a reservoir. he pointed towards the left, to the right, to the centre and towards the heavens just for fun. unfortunately, the goldfish, which had jumped very high up, plummeted back down into the reservoir at such a speed that it disappeared forever!

the trainer, saddened by this tragedy, trudged home a guilty person. he went into his toilet, turned on the tap, and guess what came out?















WATER!!!

i wanted to kill edwin after spending 3 whole minutes listening to his 'joke'. grr i was expecting something good from such a long joke. then he played a prank on me. it's a good prank to play on your friends if they are as silly as i am. i don't think it works well with text so i won't bother describing it, and anyway that gives me the chance to play this prank on other people!

today we did a very naughty thing in class. we ran away from our chem teacher! first, we tried to lock our classroom from the inside, but realised that our back door was unlockable. so we turned off all the lights in class and hid under the tables. of course there was a lot of sniggering going on, and when our chem teacher came in, he looked puzzled. ok fine i couldn't see his expression but i would imagine he would have been confused. unfortunately someone broke out into a laughing fit and we were found out!

maths (or is it math) test tomorrow prevents me from blogging extensively. i will, however, bring you the quote of today.

teacher: have you heard of the famous line in Romeo and Juliet? it goes "methinks ... blabla"
kevin: wait, didn't that come from jar jar binks?

AHAHA go to www.yougotpenged.blogspot.com (my class blog) and watch the videos in the latest post. you don't have to be a soccer fanatic to appreciate the videos.

i've taken down my persuasive speech that i posted yesterday cos there's a section in the marking scheme named 'audience response', and i can't possibly have my lame puns fall dead on my classmates who've read that post can i?

so, for those who are sorely missing my inspiring speech, i shall placate you with keira knightley pictures.
anyway yesterday i watched pirates of the carribean and i think johnny depp is very funny. especially when he talks in the funny cannibal language. sample: pooky wooky shup shup. savvy? completely incomprehensible. but i do recommend that you watch the show even though its storyline is kinda pointless. after all there's keira knightley for the guys, orlando bloom for the girls and parrots for animal lovers.

i learnt a new word while reading Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee

OBFUSCATE

1. To make so confused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understand.
2. To render indistinct or dim; darken: The fog obfuscated the shore.

and here are a couple of ppcoc (pasir panjang church of christ) pictures


















PPCOC youth. can't see much though (any bigger and the picture becomes very pixellated)

this is my favourite golden oldie song. yay.
incidentally it is also the 'greatest song every written of the century', but i think no one can really judge this kinda thing.

In My Life - The Beatles

There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends
I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life
I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more

what's yours?

let me tell you something about my favourite number, 11.

when i was young(er), i preferred 5. i believed that 5 was the best cos it was the 'middle' of everything and thus the most powerful. actually it's just the middle of 1 & 10. nevertheless, i persisted that it was the greatest number on earth.

(<---- obviously photoshopped (by LEE CHUAN YAW aka john nash aka ronaldo aka shakespeare) -.-

but i have been enlightened, and now i like 11! simply because two ones are better than (one) one. 7's not bad but when i think of the number 7 i think of david beckham. no thanks

bored i am. yoda i am not.

let me bring you the quote of today (not quote of THE day cos that implies that i will have to quote a quote everyday which like, totally sucks!) *val-speak: a language spoken by dumb girls, usually blonde, comprising of high-rising intonations and additional meanings to the word like and totally. kevin did a funny presentation.

back to the quote
a few weeks back-
me to faris: eh clear your tray la
faris to me (jokingly): eh you think i malay i troublemaker isit?
today-
faris to me: oh no! the chinese is coming. better clear my tray

humm. i got limewire today after considerable deliberation (pun intended). after the bad experiences with kazaa...

well it's good to have a blog, now i know cos one can rant and rant and rant and waste time when there is time to... . time. which i have now cos there was no third lang today

what does capri-sonne mean?? wikipedia is taking awfully long to load.

ah! ok sonne means sun. capri refers to some nice italian island. so maybe when you drink it, you get the feeling of being under the sun on a beautiful island. perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

see that pic on top shows a 'nutmeg', where the ball is pushed between the opponent's legs (evidently.) this causes great humiliation to your adversary. yay! i have an unhealthy obssession for nutmegs, cos it's so satisfying when i manage to pull it off.

who could be in this pic?----->
