HAPPY (or sad) BELATED 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF BRITAIN AND FRANCE DECLARING WAR ON GERMANY!

Yesterday's assembly was plain crap.
It was given by these two Mediacorp Green Ambassadors who won this challenge.
Or rather, just one of them.
First off: her English is worse than some of the coffee-shop uncles I overhear. "Now girls, this may seem very serious but I assure you this is very, very serious" is just one of the things she said. I can't remember the rest.
Next: Her Ego is bigger than the Sears Tower+Empire State Building+Taipei 101+Freedom Tower, and we all know how big that would be. Throughout the entire talk, although they won it together, the talk was all about her. She was ordering her partner about like a lackey: "Go back! Forward! One more slide! Click!"
In the middle of the slides was a big picture of her and a little bit about herself. If that has something to do with Global Warming, then my English is lousy and my Chinese is great.
At the end was her email and - get this - a quote: by her.
I mean, QUOTING YOURSELF IS THE MOST EGOISTIC THING ANYBODY COULD DO. AND SHE'S NOT EVEN BLOODY FAMOUS.
God.
I got into VJC.
And then a few hours later that I got a letter from NJC saying, "Congratulations!"
Go figure.

~Today in History~
1944: The British 11th Armoured Division liberates the Belgian city of Antwerp.

~Quote of the Day~
Gaia was not built in a year, but it can be destroyed in a day.
-HER quote. HER very egoistic quote and it's not even bloody nice.

~REAL Quote of the Day~
I am sure that the mistakes of that time [the first world war] will not be repeated; we shall probably make another set of mistakes.
-My good friend Churchill in 1944 when asked not to repeat the mistakes of the first world war. Now that's what you call a quote.

~Useless fact of the Day~
A deliveryman from Ealing, England, crashed his van two hours after his bosses gave him a safe driving award. Talk about Irony.
