AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Friday, August 14, 2009


Whatchamacallit
I had a very suitable title for this post but I've forgotten what it was.
I do not want to talk about the interview, so I'll go back to National Day celebrations in school.
The National Day celebration was, to put it nicely, crap. We did that stupid Sing Singapore at St Nicks thing, and afterwards while the weeny, cute, oh-I'm-so-young-so-you'll-have-to-give-me-special-privileges Primary school kids got to go home, we had to stay back while the teachers went down the line to pick out all those not properly attired "Red".

This is not red.
This is not red.
This is red.
This is not red.
This is not red.
This is not red.

You get the point.
About half the class was caught, and when Le Yan came back she was seriously pissed.
Needless to say, it wasn't really fun to be listening to somebody grousing about the school, but I'm pretty sure everybody felt that way at that moment.
Although none of them went to break the school magnet in half and throw it away.
Then for the party after school, Priscilla went somewhere else and Vera dropped out so it was just Le Yan and I. And her primary school friend Jeannie.
We watched the Old Pink Panther and the New Pink Panther (coincidentally, it's Steve Martin's birthday today.) and played Pet Society.
The National Day Parade was okay. But the flypast was less than satisfactory. Just three F16s? And just one simple formation and that's all?????
And one of the MPs dropped his bayonet during the segment! Poor guy. He's bound to be rapped.
I got 22.5/25 for my Land Supply/Water Resources Geog test. I would like to thank Genevieve and Trini for their half an hour crash course before CCA. It helped a lot.
I have too many things to do and too many things to say. SO I'll end off with my dream.

One night I had a dream about this dog walker who's kinda like Rob in Life's Get Fuzzy. He has an assistant dog walker (I thin his name is Jackson. No relation to Michael) who has to quit for some reason. So Rob goes to this forum like the one in our school and there're a lot of dog walking enthusiasts there. Two guys get into a fight and are whisked away. They end up in this hut with this old Jap guy who takes out a sleek Motorola phone and says, "Honey, I got the kids, we'll be home in Nagasaki in one hour." I groan, "Oh crap, what's the date?"
August 9, 1945.
Looking out of the window, I see two bombers. One big bomb falls and the entire thing goes boom. "DUCK!" everybody jumps under the bed. I walk out and look at the red cloud then take out my digital camera. CLICK.

~Today in History~
1941: Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt sign the Atlantic Charter of war stating postwar aims.

~Quote of the Day~
In war, whichever side may call itself the victor, there are no winners, but all are losers.
Neville Chamberlain. One of the only sensible things he said.
