Anand was being his usual retarded self today during speech and drama class. Mdm Faridah made us do this thing where you say something and someone else has to continue the story until it turns into on terribly retarded story.

David: Long ago, there was this Pharaoh who had this mistress named Santanumun and a preist. The preist fell in love with Santanamun and decided to meet with her in secret but the Pharaoh found them and was furious so he put a curse on the priest and locked him up and basically bury him a alive. Santanamun was devastated and committed suicide. (in case you haven't notice, it's a rip off of The Mummy)

Li-Vern: a thousand years later there was this guy who was locked up in jail, archaeologist named, O' Connel who have claimed to have been in the tomb. Then there was this librarian, Evelyn and her brother Jonathan. Evelyn craved adventure while Jonathan was money hungry.....

And so the rip off version of The Mummy goes on until...

Anand: Then it all went black because the DVD player broke. So then the boy who was watching the video, Wee Jin decided to change the channel and he watched Spongebob. Spongebob had to go out of the sea and get on land to do a mission but he dried up when he was out of water so he went back into the water and looked for Mr Crabs and Mr Crabs gave Spongebob a job mopping the floor. Wee Jin got bored of the show and change the channel to Phantom of The Opera. He saw Erik strangling Raoul with the rope and he got scared so he changed the channel.

Zhi Le: His mother came and scold him because he spend too much time channel surfing so he turned off the T/V and looked out the window. Suddenly a book fell in front of him and it was the "Book Of Life". When Wee Jin opened the book he read the instructions that if you write a dead mans name inside he will come back to life, suddenly some one tapped him on the shoulder and it was the "Angle of Life". (If you didn't watch the show, this is a rip off of Death Note or in Zhi Le's story Life Note.)

And the story goes on involving some politics because Wen Chuan started talking next so i won't write it down in case some people get offended.

Derek: And then Chuckie (the murderous doll not Chuck Winnie) went to spy on Bryan watching his cereal box. Chuckie wanted to kill Bryan because he stole the 10 trillion dollars he stole from the bank and he needed the money to get some plastic surgery because he was so ugly. "This will be easy," Chuckie said, "look at him, he's obviously retarded, what kind of boy watches a cereal box." But of course Chuckie didn't know that there was a T/V in the cereal box.

Don't ask how Bryan and Chuckie and the T/V cereal box came into the picture cause I don't really know myself. F.Y.I. this is the kind of retarded things we do in Speech and Drama class.

Today Mdm Anne told us a story which really changed my perspective on life.

The story starts when mdm was working in a law firm 7 years ago. One day a new guy entered the firm, a young man, just out of coledge. Her 2 co-workers and herself will always bully him since he was the new guy in the firm. Everybody in the firm loved him and practically adopted the guy as their younger brother. He was a shy person didn't get out much so, every Saturday, Mdm and her friends used to take him out to town. Mdm will purposely call his house at 9 a.m (because she knew he would be sleeping, lolz) and tell him to get dressed and ready to go on Saturdays.

It was a Friday. Mdm was already late for a class and she had a lot to do so she left early. One of her co-workers left for London with her boss for a bussiness trip and the other also left early with her because she was also buzy with work. They were all already so buzy so her friend and herself decided not to go out on the next day. On Saturday night, her friend and her family decided to pay her a visit. They were talking all night in the living room when she didn't realise that her hand phone was ringging non stop in her room. When she finally answered it and it was the new guy's brother. He told her over the phone that the new guy had fallen into a river and drowned. Mdm was in shock and handed the phone over to her friend. Her friend was already crying when she announced that they had to go to the guys house for his funeral. Mdm was in shock, she didn't want to believe that one of best friends had passed on but when she got to his house, she saw him in the coffin and next to him was his greif stricken mother, crying and talking to him. She couldn't take much more and left.

This got me thinking, what if someone I knew died tomorrow?
(touch wood) What if my hand phone were to ring right now and someone told me my best friend had passed on and I never got to say goodbye, never got to say how much I loved him/her, how much I would miss him/her when they were gone or how much I hated him/her for leaving me?(touch wood) So right now, I wanna make sure that everybody I know, knows that I love you, and that you mean so much to me, and that I NEVER want to be without you.

I hope this will help anyone who reads it to realise how grateful you should be able to love and be loved, to learn how to care and not to hate, but most of all, to be thankful that you're alive today.

Love is a powerfull thing.

Happy feat === so CUTE~~

Today we watched "The making of Happy Feet" for English. I was hoping we were going to watch the movie though, but of course we didn't.

Funny quote's from the movie:

(mumbo screeches, trying to sing)
penguin 1: what's he doing?
penguin 2: I think he's singing...
penguin 1: Oh, I heard an animal do that once, but they turned it over and he was dead.

LOL!!

Sea lion: I'll be back... I know where you live.
Penguin 1: It's called land, rubber butt.

ROTFL!!

Penguins: jump together ready 1... 2... 3...
(Penguins jump, except one)
Penguin 1: Okay i can do this i just have to trick myself. (Points at the sky) Ooo.. look at that! (Turns head toward sky) Where? "Falls" off cliff.

LMAO!!

Producers opinion: Its like "March of the Penguins" in Riverdale.

lolz

Of course its much funnier to watch than to read off some random blog. =)

Finlay updated.

Okay, everyone has been complaining that i don't update my blog fast enough, so im gona update it now.

Hmm... lets see... what should i blog about...

Okay, On Saturday I went to my cousin's(on my dad's side) wedding dinner. Honestly, by far it's the best wedding dinner i have ever been to. It was a simple ceremony, in a small restaurant (forgot it's name =.=) definitely my kind of wedding. They rented out the whole place, got a buffet table set out, booked a band (they played love songs through the night very romantic =) ) and had a 5 story wedding cake made from cupcakes so everyone could eat it =)

This is exactly the kind of wedding i want to have if i was ever so lucky to get married in the future, a small ceremony with family members and close friends, not the super fancy million dollar wedding some people have in ballrooms.

The bride was dressed in a skin colored ankle long dress and her groom was wearing a long white sleeved shirt with a vest and a black tie. The night ended with karaoke as the band played love songs with and some brave volunteers dedicating songs to the bride and groom.

I wore a spaghetti striped black dress and topped it off with that necklace Soo Ann gave to me on my birthday, the one with the diamond 'V'. it was a nice dress but it made me look shortER (notice the capitalled 'ER'?) than usual so my mum insteed i wear high heels that night. but the problem is, I havent wore one of those in such a long time i was WAY out of practice. My mum had a good laugh watching me struggle in high heels. Me vs. high heels round one, loser, me. =.=''
