In Flander's Fields
IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
one of the most memorable war poems ever written, it is a tribute to the men who fought and died in the terrible battle of the Ypres Salient in the Spring of 1915
Indian Food
guess what, the school finally got rid of the Indian Stall!! Woots! Well Done! At last!! This was the stall whose Uncle doesn't know how to count properly. He will look at you sadly and ask you what is your change! Plus, he looks soo saaddd..that you'll feel very guilty if you're trying to cheat him. Moreover, he takes the food like super slowly..there was one time where i asked him fir some potato wedges and he goes like 'ook'...and hence proceeded to get a plastic bag and slowly pick 7 wedges from a plate. The bugger did it so slowly and deliberately! He was choosing each wedge with care! shit, i didn't know people took pride in picking wedges. Almost grew a beard waiting..
well, at least they got rid of it and the new Indian stall looks spankingly good. Went to try the mutton briyani and well, it looks better than it is thats all. Its quite aromatic due to the blend of curry leaves, saffron and coriander. The mutton was rather stale and the curry was tasteless. Still, the portions were good and the briyani rice was nice. Plus, they gave a papadum( Indiah cracker) that i foolishly crushed when i tried to keep it on my plate after the wind( basket!) blew it away. Still, the whole set looks a bargain at only 2 dollars!
Click!
i watched the much anticipated movie 'Click'! Starring Adamn Sandler and Kate Beckingsale (what a babe, but she is married) and its about this guy who asks and gets a universal remote controller that can control anything. It can manipulate colour, time and objects and it has the complete functions of your tv remote. Well, i shan't spoil the show for u (unlike how i did about King Kong; refer to earlier post) but lemme put down what I would do with a universal remote controller!
1) For one, i'll shut my brother up!! Keep pressing the lower volume button until cannot press already!
2) Change his skin colour to green and contrast his body size to make it super fat for comic effect; i can call him fatty!
3) okok, rather mean haha..lets see..pause time so he has enough time to play maplestory to his heart's content
4) Pause the traffic lights so that they are always green hahaha! Then i'll never be stuck in traffic again
5) Slow-mo when a hot babe walks by hahaha
6) When too tired to study..pause time to take a breather( man, i always wanted to do that..)
7) Fast-forward through boring commercials that disrupt tv shows just when they get to the exciting part..
8) Fast-forward through time when waiting for the chefs to cook my food haha. ( chefs in this case can be anybody!)
9) hmm..i'm running short of ideas...what would you do??
Runaway
This is an awesome song by our very own local band Electrico!!
Truly Julie, in another day
You know it really isn’t far away that I’m longing to be with you
You’ll be waiting for another sun, but that’s when things begin to come undone
There’s sense that’s running in the air, and that’s the time that you should never dare
Running away you can’t pretend, up to the door and back again with me
I know
Running away it drives me wild, even someone who makes me mild like you
I know
There’s a place where eveything is free and everyone is just like you and me like i’ve never seen before
But i would never ever wanna go, to a place unless you told me so, then you said that you wanted more
There’s a sense that’s running in the air and that’s the time that you should never dare
*one thing i like to know: who the heck is julie?!
The Bell Tolls..
prelims...i had 4 papers in 2 days! I duno how they plan the bloody time-table.Almost died. Monday was Gp ( write essay, n do a compre about blogging..ugghh) and Econs ( write 3 essays). Tuesday was math and E1( Shakespeare and Other Authors, means write 3 more essays) so technically i wrote 7 essays in 2days! Never wrote so much before! And my hand was cramping up most of the time. But hey guess what, i think i'll do ok...except for E1( i know shit about Duchess) and for once, i actually tried and succeeded to keep within the time limit for the essays!! Was real impressed haha!
I was also quite pleased with Math(surprise surprise!!) I thought i would be stoning most of the time due to lack of brain knowledge. On top of that, on Monday Night, i was actually watching WILD WILDS WEST on TV!! Was procrastinating away my only night to mug for Math and guess what, when the show was over, I FELL ASLEEP!!! but hey, God gave me a favourable paper! I actually did ALL THE QUESTIONS though i bullshited a bit and anyhow whack quite a few hahah! But still, i got some random answers and for once, i have a serious chance to pass it whee!!

Ultraviolet
i went for the Planet Shakers concert on Saturday and it rocks. But, it was very short. I like travelled all the way to EXPO and it ended so quickly. But their new album rocks!! Totally. Yet, i dun get it, the theme of the concert if Ultraviolet but there is nothing that has anything to do with Ultraviolet in the concert. Strange...
