Speak(Type) Good English

I have made new changes in my blog last night. Can you see what it is?

Look again.

Here's another clue. Look at the "Links" section.

I'll save u from the torture and tell u the answer. I(!) have reverted the whole blog to writing good English again! Note that I am typing in good English. Heehee.

SO! I dont really know what to say now.

I have added a few new links to different blogs. One of them, Home Sanctuary, is actually quite good. It gives you a little task to do everyday like household chores, and clearing out of the wardrobes etc etc. It's actually for women who have children and a home. But since I have a room to myself which I clean and tidy up on my own, keeping up with the little tasks they give each day will give me an incentive to tidy up the little bits which I would never touch on my own. I hoover the floors every week, and change the bedsheets on the average of once a fortnight, and do the occasional bit of dusting but that's about it. I highly recommend this blog for those who own a home. *grins*

And Attack of the Redneck Mommy is really good as well. I really like reading her posts. It might be a bit too vulgar for people but i think her posts are absolutely hilarious. She basically talks about her life, and her kids. But she talks about it in such a way that it makes me laugh so much.

Other than that, I have been inspired to use up every single itty bitty ounce of talent or strength I have in me. Like drawing, writing, playing piano, and I dont know what other talents I have, but if I do find it, I'll put it to good practice.

This post is so 'I' orientated *unsettled that I have become so self-obsessed*

"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me". "
-Erma Bombeck (American humorist and writer of 15 best-selling books)

racial discrimination

myra went to cuboid land by accident yesterday and she experienced racial discrimination for the first time in her short little pyramid life. all the cuboids either looked away from her haughtily or look right AT her haughtily as if she doesnt have the right to be there. and most of the little cuboids stared at her and would have pointed if they had arms. she felt so alone. poor myra. there she is..:went out with ryan yesterday after the last of my computing exam to celebrate the lack of computing for the next few months. lol. it was good fun, we went to rock city diner and watched phantom of the opera(the new movie version) it was the first time i watched the movie all at one go. and it was amazing. andrew lloyd webber is a genius in music.

so anyways, after i took the bus to newcastle in the evening, i was walking home from the bus station and three chavs (people who are unbelievably racist and lvoe to pick fights) were walking towards me and talking and staring. and i was like "they cant be staring at me" and looked behind and when i looked back, the one in the middle had a mocking smile on his face and sounded like he was saying "dont worry we're not staring at u" (i had my music plugged in so i wouldnt be able to hear anything) i know it's a stupid wee incident. but i have countless other incidents where people stare at me unabashedly (so RUDE!) or they just sorta, look haughtily as if to say "u dont belong here"

there is this other incident. i was in a full class during one of my free periods doing computing. and i was surrounded by little kids. and one of them was like shouting to another kid right over me. "pull out a wire from the girl's computer!" (i was using a computer at that time. so were they) and he did that loads of times. and as far as i can see, i was the only girl there. i got madder and madder cos it's as if he expects me to not understand what he was saying (that little *beep*) and eventually, i said really loudly "pull what wire! what wire!" and the guy who he was shouting at to pull out a wire from my computer quite sheepishly said "that one" and pointed to one of the main wires of my computer. the little *beep* just went all haughty on me. oh well.

ryan made me a daisy chain on wednesday :D here it is, all pressed up for me :Pto end on a cheerier note, here are the pics me and ryan and natalie (another girl from my computing class) took on monday (i think) after my 1st computing exam.and here are the pics of just ryan and me :P in common room on monday.in the art room during health and social care revision on wednesday. (the day he made me a daisy chain!) ^_^"To live anywhere in the world today and be against equality because of race or color is like living in Alaska and being against snow."
-William Faulkner(American author, regarded as one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century, was awarded the 1949 Nobel Prize in Literature)

post for yesterday (and today!)

was studying for my computing exam yesterday. was doing past papers and everything. and i must admit i was rather successful. :D cos i did two papers. lol.

myra was studying for computing yesterday too. but she gets distracted easily and ended up having ice cream instead. that little glutton :P.computing paper wasnt too bad today. the doing of past papers really helped to relax me and make me more confident. it was loads harder than the papers i did. and there was a beast of a pseudocode question right at the end. the question went on for ever and ever. and it was worth about 20 marks. that's about a third of the paper. (full marks is 65)

oh well better stop thinking about it. have to concentrate for the next papers on next wednesday which is mechanics and english.

uncle paul bought a new fish. it's an airawana (hope i got that right) lol. and here are the pics!and a few nights ago. i found out something really cool! (for me anyway) lol. and here is the pic!see anything interesting?

look again!

ok i'll tell u. they are the same colour! orange! :D lol

i know it's quite stupid but i still think it's pretty cool to have colour co-ordinated toiletries :P

i hate blogskins. :(

for yesterday and today i have been screening and swimming about blogskins.com, sifting past piles and piles of mediocre work and finally choosing this really perfect blogskin. and THEN when i finally got CLOSE to getting it, i had to go to bed.

so i went to bed.

and then i woke up, went to school, etc etc. and came home. got onto the com at about half past 7. and guess what? blogger wouldnt accept any of the code from blogskins.com! :( it's now half past 9 and i've resorted to sitting here complaining to all who will listen.

this is not fun! those skins were really good. they said something about the code not being fully formed and such. so those who are more techno savvy. help meeeeeeeeeee!

i'm at my wits end. and i am too annoyed to even LOOK at them. HMPH! thos who are willing to help tell me and then i'll give u a temporary password or something. i dunno. or just hand me a solution.

it's such a shame the code wouldnt get on, cos today was a brilliant day.

Happy Mother's Day

today is Mother's Day in Singapore. Got this from laozhabor's blog. i read it and found it really sad. i mean that portrays the worst son or daughter ever. but i'm sure we are all guilty of a few things down there. so. yea. [it's a teeny bit edited]
