corum.

No words can express how much I'm gonna miss this class.

Our constant digressions, the many weird jokes that we crack, the feminism(Poor Lucas) and the ever difficult question of "Where are going to eat today?". Haha

As Ms. Anne always says, it is fate that brought us together. Too true.

I'll admit I've never been a big fan of poetry. I prefer nice lengthy books that describe everything in detail whereas poems just seemed too short and never enough.

But after taking lit for 1.5 years I see that sometimes poems say much more than a passage can. The poet uses just those few words yet they manage to invoke so many different feelings.

Poems just aren't about words on a piece of paper, poems can be read out. And I like this way of looking at poetry. Yet, honestly, tell me how many people you know would attend a poetry recital. I'm sure many years ago it was more common, like in the movie "Dead Poet's Society".

However, doesn't mean it's dead now right?

There's this show called "Def Poetry". And basically it's a poetry recital but these people don't recite the old poems that we would have heard of before like Shakespeare's sonnets. Nope, these people recite their own original poetry.

Some of them are really good but here's one I really like.

I'd always been a great lover of books.

I've read plenty of books over time and always loved getting lost in the stories. It's like time would pass by so fast when you're immersed in some one else's story.

But since A-levels started, I think I'd kinda lost the reading habit. All story books that I seem to have read were just for lit class. Books were no longer an escape from dreary reality. Instead, books were meant to be read over and over again so that I can analyse the character, the setting, the tone blah blah blah.

I mean, I don't think I've read as many books as I used to (fanfiction doesn't count). Haha.

Yet today, I rediscovered the marvelous world of fiction =D. Borrowed this book from the college library and it's pretty good so far. It's called "The Last Concubine".

So yeah, yay for finding good books again. And I just bought two more books (The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest and Lord Sunday). Two books that I expect to be really good. Looks like I've found my reading drive again =).

Had a fun econs class yesterday! =D. We had to fold and staple paper. A better of saying it is that we formed a production line. So yeah.

Went for dinner last night. Thanks Lam!! =). Haha. Seeing as he is going back to swine flu central on saturday, so Trixie and I went for dinner with him. Not much, just basic catching up.

On the other hand, my mummy came to pick me so late. Due to a certain reason that I shall not mention cause she reads my blog so she'll probably ask me to take the funny story off!! HAHAHAHAHAHA. I'll leave it up to your imagination as to what happened.

Something funny regarding lit class. For some reason, the same people always end up in the same group. For example we have to split into groups of four to do a weekly revision thing for the AS syllabus. It was totally random and by luck as we drew lots. And guess what. It was Caroline, Lucas, Marcia and I. Quite funny as it's like the third time we've been grouped together randomly for lit. Must be fate =P.

Went to Bon Ton last night for Pui Yi's birthday.

Food was good. Company was good too =D.

BUT, thank goodness Amanda came along. If not, I would have been very 'bright'. Haha.


We're done with "A View from the Bridge" in Lit. Now there's only the analysis left to do.

Boo. I need a holiday. Truly I do.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. *Lit joke*

Doing first analysis for A View from the Bridge. After a nice two weeks with no analysis to do, it's back to the ever brain draining process.

Something that my mum told me today. She heard it in a sermon.

Men are about the target.

Women are about the process.

True no?

That guys always seem to focus on the goal. But that doesn't mean they actually know how to achieve the goal. And girls focus on the getting there but not the destination.

So which is better?

Eh, if anyone can download the song 'Sweet sweet sleep' by Ian Ball, please tell me!!!!

So looking for that song but can't seem to find it.

I've just finished watching October Road and I must say it's pretty good.(Thanks Sean for lending it to me! =D).

The storyline may not seem very ground breaking but the script is well written. In my opinion that is. The conversations that the cast has is both funny yet witty at times so that keeps me happy. AND, the soundtrack is nice. Downloaded a couple of nice songs.

However, I'm so disappointed that it was not renewed for a third season. Like there just left season two at such a cliffhanger. Even the 10 minute 'finale' that they filmed to sort of close the story was not satisfactory. I mean, how many issues can you really resolve in ten minutes of screen time?? Argh....I want another season.

And you know, my semester exam is in exacly one months time.

Ah well. Off to do some drawing! Haha. For lit class that is. Ms. Anne gave us homework to draw out the first scene from "A View From The Bridge: by Arthur Miller. Despite being in the arts stream I have absolutely NO artistic talent so it's going to be quite a bit of work to getting the set nicely drawn.

that's not my name.

You know you're really a lit student when you're reading a storybook and you feel like taking up a pencil and partitioning the chapters.

I swear, that's exactly what happened to me. I was reading this book "Marshmallows for Breakfast"(which by the way is quite good), when I felt like taking up a pencil and drawing a line to show that there was a change in the chapter. Weird right. But that's what you become when you've had to partition 38 chapters of Jane Eyre.

And guess what???

I drove out alone today. =D. To fetch my brother from tennis so it was a pretty short distance. But still!! And I don't drive so slowly anymore.

All plays by William Shakespeare. So many famous quotes from him.


Went to KL Pac today to watch 5 short excerpts from the four plays mentioned above. A was quite a last minute thing cause Ms. Anne only told us about it today during class so we were just decided to go tonight.

It was not bad. Could have been better but seeing as they only had three weeks to prepare it, it was quite a good play from the actors. Don't know whether it's cause we've done Twelfth Night in class but I realized that we were all(Marcia, Caroline, Kim, Adibah, Pam and Lucas) more critical of Twelfth Night than with the other plays.



I feel like I'm addicted to plays. Wanan go for Prom the Musical next week, then Bottom Top the week after. And we'll see what comes next.

Now if only my father weren't so uptight about it.

Went back to college today.

What for you may ask? After all it is a Saturday.

Well, the Sky Adventure Club organized an outing to the Agriculture Park for a SKY TREX ADVENTURE!!!

It was way awesome and time and money well spent.

The beginning climb up was pretty scary and some parts of the course were wayyyy high up. But it was fun =D. Nothing like being 17m above the ground and going from tree to tree with nothing but a harness as your safety feature. Haha.

And guess how many guys there were out of the 16 people who went??

2.

You read that right. For an outdoor adventure only two guys(Arthur and Henry) turned up. Guess that proves that girls are braver than guys??

My driving test that was suppose to take place on Monday is not going to take place. Some idiot at the office didn't submit my form.

Oh well. Guess I'll have to study my Psych test now.
