Today, a pregnant cat was discovered in the house.
In the kitchen, to be precise.
There was a hullabaloo when my mom went down to the kitchen and a brown streak flashed past her.
It is now confirmed that there are no sign of newborn kittens around the house.
There have been numerous cases of creatures crawling around the landed property situated in the middle of nowhere.
First, there was a huge bird that flew in through the window one day.
Then, there was the neighbour's toy dog that escaped through the gate and found its way into the living room.
Of course, there was also the infamous case of the kitten in the engine. (Note to all animal lovers: nothing to worry about, the kitten was uninjured and managed to escape. However, a few years ago a rat wasn't as lucky. It found itself inside my dad's car's engine and it was ripped apart. A man was later paid to take the rat out.)

Do I sound like a newscaster?
Anyway.
Tomorrow is children's day. Coincidentally it is also my parent's 16th wedding anniversary. And there's no further elaboration, so we shall just proceed to the next topic:
GROUSING ABOUT THE 400 WORD LIMIT ON THE STORY WE'RE SUPPOSED TO WRITE.

How the hell do you expect me to write a story when there is a four hundred word limit? I mean, the poem itself (The one we're supposed to write a story on, Mid Term Break by Seamus Heaney) is already just a bit less than 200 words!
Jeez. How I hate word limits. I bet for this story, like so many commonwealth essays before it, I will be spending more time cutting down on words than writing the damn thing.
There is really no need for word limits. How are people expected to write good stories if you have a word limit? There is usually no limit for proper stories, so they can't really put a limit on these sort of stories.
Therefore I've decided to type the story out. Because, as I told Joy, if I write it out, it will be several hours and many, millions of cancellations before I finally get it done. It will look much messier than my usual work is...and that's saying something.
But of course, so that we don't get on "dear" Mrs Sushilla's nerves, I shall have to write it out on foolscap paper later.
Well, I'd best be getting off to write my essay...or I won't have any time to cut down the word number to the stupid limit.

Oh yeah, and the F1 race that everyone's been talking about. How could I have forgotten that? I watched it until lap 29...I was lucky enough to see Nelson Piquet's crash. And of course, Massa's pit stop accident.
Poor Ferrari...Maybe they should ditch the green light operating system. I mean, with technology like this you can't be sure whether the guy just pressed the button accidentally.
And after that, when Raikkonen (Jing Yi is seriously weird. First she goes repeating Raikkonen's name over and over again, and when she remember's Massa's first name (Felipe) she repeats that over and over again.) crashed out with 4 laps to go Ferrari's hopes were extinguished.
According to Raikkonen he crashed 'cause he was tryin'a overtake Timo Glock. Bit stupid really. He just shoulda stayed at fifth place, then at least he could've gotten some points.
There goes Ferrari's hopes.

What is the friggin' problem with writing a story during Chinese?
I mean, it isn't my fault that the goddamn lesson is boring, right?
I bet if it was a Chinese story I was writing, she'd just walk past without commenting. But No, the moment she sees me she goes and bloody confiscates the story.
I HATE HER.
Anyway, sorry for my ranting.
Nothing happened today. Nothing interesting, anyway. (Hey, I just composed a rhyme.) So, my parents are back. Bye.

Today, was a particularly boring day.
Not that boring, really, compared to normal days.
But still.
1st lesson: Literature. We were herded to the library and made to do a timeline of Romeo and Juliet.
Yep, folks, we're doing that crappy love story for lit. (By the way, they define "comedy" as a play with "a thread of joy" running through it and a happy ending for "most of the characters". Therefore, we can classify Romeo and Juliet as a comedy as it has a "thread of joy" (the lovely dovey stuff) and a happy ending (for everyone except all the dead guys).)
And then we had Chinese. Which, thankfully, was rather boring. Which is good.
Then there was P.E. And we played...uh..."softball". Technically not softball, since we didn't even have a field to play in. It was raining like hell and the wind blew two goalposts down. So we pitched (UNDERARM, not overarm!) at some cone while the people with the (SPONGE) bats "bunded" it back.
I couldn't even really whack the ball properly. Bunding is decidedly not fun.
Then we were taken up and made to stand right in front of a goalpost, sideways. We were to face Mr Yeo [aka Super ultra papaya head] and when he threw us the ball, we were to whack it into the net. Geez, are you sure this is SOFTBALL?
Ah well. 100% batting rate, though. Though it was pretty easy. Still.
Then came recess. Fried food Wednesday! We went to play volleyball. My arms are still red.
Maths was next, and with it, plain, pure, FUN. I introduced Mr Tan to his new buddy, Patch the one eyed smiley, rubber, super-destructive ball.
Let's see. First it was just bouncing the ball and catching it, then it was throwing it into the air where everyone could see it (everyone except Mr Tan, anyway.)
AMAZING! IT'S A MIRACLE! He actually scolded me! (Ok, so he didn't confiscate it, but still, it's a start!) He said something along the lines of "it's distracting me". Although I've edited it so that normal people like you and I can understand his English.
After that I threw it into the cardboard box next to the dustbin twice. He didn't even bat an eyelid at the racket I was causing. Then I tried the dustbin, but missed and it flew out. I ran out and got it and he didn't say anything as usual. Another experiment, another success!
Then it was physics, and with it boredom. I HATE PHYSICS. There isn't much to say.
For English we had a report writing test. The scenario was some classmate getting caught in the bus and being dragged for several metres. The details were absolutely unclear. I shan't even try to explain.
(That reminds me, if you're looking for some explanation to why my tagbox is being spammed, here it is. During English yesterday Sushi penalized me for reading a bit of the wrong question and asked us to come up with a volunteer to sing. So I didn't want to sing. Besides there were two choir members in our group! So poor Pheo went up instead. Sorry...)

Today's the twentieth of September.
Sixty four years ago, in approximately one minute (14 40), Major Julian Cook's men are going see the boats that they are going to board to cross the Waal river to take the important Bridge in one of the greatest phases of Operation Market Garden.
Approximately twenty minutes later (15 00) they are going to board the boats and sail across the river, using their rifle butts as paddles, become perfect targets for the Germans and get blown to pieces.
And yet half of the battalion will make it out alive and fight the Germans on the north side of the bridge. And in approximately two hours and eighteen minutes (17 00) the Germans will break and run onto the bridge, towards the southern end where the Americans are waiting to cut them into pieces.
And approximately sixty four years later I'll be wondering why I'm typing all this.

Let's just liken this situation to the Literature test. The students are Cook's men. The teachers and the tests are the Germans. The River is the duration of the test. Those who drown in the river won't make the passing grade. Those who get over the river and rout the Germans will.
Currently I feel like I'm one of the drowning ones.
I suppose it's all my fault, since I never studied anyway. But then again, I've never studied for any of my tests and I still did reasonably well (if you exclude Chinese, anyway. Chinese I study.)
But this one is different. This is bloody Chinese Cinderella, a book, I'm sure you'll all agree with me, that sucks.
In a sense I don't hate literature. It's the stupid book and the stupid tests that I hate. It's just like World War Two - I don't hate the war. It's the stupid Nazis and stupid Hitler that I hate.
Bad example, huh? Alright, scratch that.
Well, sorry about the rambling, folks. But I really have nothing else to ramble about. Doggone Review tests. They're just typical exams disguised under a nicer name.

1944: Assault on Nijmegen Bridge

~Quote of the Day~
"I have never seen a more gallant action."
-General Browning, describing the actions of the soldiers who brought the boats back across the river to fetch the second wave.

Hello, guys. Sorry for not posting since the sixth of september, but I was kinda busy. Anyway,

HAPPY START OF OPERATION MARKET GARDEN DAY!

So. Today's the 17th of September, 2008. Sixty four years ago Montgomery sent his British First Airborne Division [Gen. Roy Urquhart], the American 82nd Airborne Division [Maj. Gen. James M. Gavin], the American 101st Airborne Division [Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor] and the Polish first parachute brigade [Maj. Gen. Stanislaw Sosabowski or summat like that.] to attack Arnhem, Njimegen and Eindhoven respectively. [Polish attack Arnhem too.] The plan was to take the bridges so that the XXX Corps could run over all of 'em, cross Arnhem Bridge and the rhine, and take the Ruhr, the industrial heart of Germany. It was all supposed to be finished by the end of three days. The result?

Out of 10000 odd Brit paratroopers that went only 2000 were evacuated when the operation ended 9 days later.

Bloody hell, I say. Monty was quite a bit of an idiot on this one. Junior officers offered him evidence that two Panzer Divisions were residing at Arnhem [they were] but Monty ignored this vital piece of information and made 'em continue.

Anyway. Today we played softball. Or rather, uh, "super ultra papaya face man"'s type of softball.

Rule number one of his softball game: Tag nothing but the home base.

Rule number two: Bat with a tennis racket.

Rule number three: Do not be stupid and [when you're fielding] put someone at the home base. You need her to run around.

Excuse me, but it's the exact opposite of softball. Or even baseball.

Today I had one of the most fun maths lessons ever.

See, Fanny was playing with some string, and Lemon scolded her. He went on about not being biased and whatever crap. So I decided to test him. I took out some string [Leftover from Geog Test], tied a paper clip to it and attempted to fish my pen from the floor. He didn't notice. It didn't work, either.

So I tied my G2 around the string instead, and tried to throw it around the table leg. It finally hooked on and I had a long time getting it off. I made a racket and everyone was staring at me, but he carried on droning.

Then I tried to lasso my water bottle. A dismal failure. And still he didn't look. Weird guy.

And when Fanny took up the string again, he immediately started blasting her. And he says he isn't biased.

If that's true, I'll score a hundred for my Chinese review test.

~Today in History~
1944: OPERATION MARKET GARDEN STARTS!

~Quote of the Day~
"I not only approved...I insisted upon it. What we needed was a bridgehead over the Rhine. If that could be accomplished, I was quite willing to wait on all other operations..."

- Eisenhower, about Operation Market Garden. Sounds like he's trying to blame himself from giving the go-ahead for the operation.

11. Do you tend to make a relationship complicated?
Never been in what you would consider a proper relationship, so I don’t know.

authoritative, bossy, annoying, arrogant, holier-than-thou attitude, those kinds that are like e.g. “WWII started in 2001!” and when I correct them they go “Oh, I knew that already!”. And then some.

30. Do you have a crush on anyone?
Nope.

31. Have you ever done cocaine?
If I do that, I’ll be arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment or even death. But I’d already be dead, anyway, courtesy of my mom.

Nah.

38. Do you have a life?
No, actually. I only exist to answer stupid questions like this one.

39. Have you ever think someone died, when they really didn’t die?
Bad English again, I see. No, I’ve never envisioned someone I know dying, although I envision soldiers in the battlefield dying, when they aren’t dead, since technically they aren’t real and thus aren’t alive in the first place.

40. What is the reason behind your profile song?
Band of Brothers is the best ever show!

If you're smart enough you'll figure out that it's WALL-E I'm talking about.
Me, Genevieve, her cousin, and her two Naval Base Primary School classmates/friends went to Yishun Golden Village to check it out.
I guess it wasn't too bad, although the first part was a bit slow moving.
Boy, are those humans fat! They can't even walk. Which is not possible. And hopefully not going to happen in 700 odd years time.
Anyway. It was a pretty short affair, since straight after the movie we went our separate ways. I ended up lounging at Junction 8 for roughly one hour or so. First I went to Bishan Library, just a few metres away. Then I went back to J8 and ate a McFlurry. Then I went to Popular. I had just read the first few pages of a book when
RIIIIING!
[ok, so maybe it didn't ring. More of VIIIBRATE! but that's besides the point.]
My phone. It was my brother, telling me to go back to the traffic junction [ which was where I just came from. Roughly.]
GAAK. So I walked back and waited for them.
You know, they were supposed to be free from the doctor by four forty five? They came at five plus. Y'know why? 'Cause the doctor sent them to one clinic, who sent them downstairs to another room, where they took their time re-explaining everything the first doctor had already told 'em.
Jeez. Talk about being unefficient.

~Today in History~
1939: Britain and France declare war on Germany.
HAPPY "BRITAIN AND FRANCE DECLARE WAR ON GERMANY" DAY!

~Quote of the Day~
Soldiers of the Reich! This day you are to take part in an offensive of such importance that the whole world may depend on it's outcome.
-Adolf Hitler [The whole world may depend on it's outcome, alright...it just wasn't the kind of outcome Hitler expected.]
