Hahaha... Email from my sec4 class--
"Angry and hungry are two words that end in '-gry'. There are three words in the English language. What is the third word? Everyone knows what it means and everyone uses it every day. Look closely and I have already given you the third word. What is it?"
Any guesses?
FUN FACT OF THE DAY (this section for Chengwei): Eskimos buy fridges to keep their food warm. Don't ask me why.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again-- not worth it. Keep your head up and that smile on your face okay?

Humanz sweaters arrived today. Or should I say, Huixin and I lugged the plastic bags of sweaters back to school today. T-shirt printing guy: "Ni men mei you nan tong xue lai bang ni men na ma?"
Hmm. Obviously we didn't know what we were paying for--
1. If you never thought white could exist in different shades, look at the white Humanz sweater.
2. Our expat tutors' pronunciation of Chinese names is immortalised at the back of the sweater-- Ruomei's name is now "Roo-mei":)
3. The sweaters were obviously printed today or late yesterday, because the silkscreening thing wasn't dry when the sweaters were packed. So when you take it out of the bag there's this putrid smell of whatever-they-print-shirts-with. And when you unfold it the "paint" might stick to the sweater.
4. The sweaters are huge. The guys nearly all have XXLs or XXXLs
But...
1. The finish of the black one is way nicer!:)
2. The white one has a pretty blue gradient.
Ahwell. Timely arrival-- we take on the icebox AVT tomorrow for Othello. Which I haven't done:\
FUN FACT OF THE DAY. Chengwei only just found out today that Eskimos, like us here in sunny Singapore, actually go to school and live in houses. Her naive mind =) thinks eskimos can only live in igloos without toilet facilities (hmm. how come igloos don't have loos?) and that the eskimos go hunting and fishing everyday.
Quotable quote: "Hah... You mean they're just like us?"
Quotable quote II: "Where do eskimos live arh... Antarctica?"
Zhuang Hui shaved his head yesterday, either to (i) freak us all out or (ii) "get into mugging mode", whatever that means. In any case it does mean that dear Jean is gonna get an Armani 'do!!:)
Interesting snippet of conversation--
Joel: "Zhihong, have you seen Zhuang Hui around today?"
Zhihong: "No... (sees shorn ZH walking beside Joel)... OH."
Quotable quote III is from Mr Perry, after realising the shorn sheep was from his CT group: "OH GOD."
Augh. Sparred french history with Zhongkai, and realised how much I didn't know. Or rather, how little I'd thought through the stuff. And that I had no idea about the sequence of lousy events until I did my lovely timeline:) Apparently the French of that time liked to fight alot. When the sans-culottes weren't killing people in prisons, then the French army was off somewhere waging war against the Brits/Dutch/Spanish/Prussians/Austrians.
All you poseurs out there take heart! Poseur-ism (haha) dates back to the French Revolution. Some sad people adopted aristocratic prefixes to their surnames to make other people think they were nobles from the second estate.
Some favourites: d'Anton, de Marat and de Robespierre. How ironic.
Hmm. I should read Sandman.
Death, the second of The Endless, you are
responsible for ending all lives and taking
them to your realm, from which no one ever
returns. You are bright, positive, happy,
optimistic and enjoy everything about life, but
that does not mean your silly or stupid. You
can lay the smack down when you have to!
Everyone loves you, and they don't know why.
Which Endless are you?
