AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Monday, October 12, 2009


EXAMS ARE OVER.

Today was the last paper, Chinese, which was unbelievably easy. I say easy as in easier than I expected. I finished with half an hour to spare, and spent the time reciting a) 50 states, b) pi, c) periodic table, d) Macbeth, e) san zi jing, f) Gettysburg Address, g) Winston Churchill speeches, h) capitals of the world, and i) WWII. It doesn't sound very fun, does it?
But anyway, enough about exams. They're over and we can't do anything except go and celebrate. Just now, my mom and I were at NTUC and we saw Kim Ng filming that programme about cooking in seven steps or summat like that that my mom watches. They were blocking the way and we had to stand there and wait for ages before they moved.
ANYWAY...you know all this furor about Ris Low and her lousy English? I don't think it's her fault. I just think she's a Singaporean.
I mean, plenty of people speak like that. It just so happens that they're not beautiful enough to win a beauty contest. You can't fault a Singaporean for speaking like a Singaporean. And no one's English is one hundred percent perfect, anyway. As you're reading this you'll probably find a few grammatical errors or punctuation errors here and there. (But nut speling erors! My speling is gret!) Some people may be 99% perfect. Ris Low is perhaps 30%...? Maybe less. But a lot of people speak worse than that. Wouldn't it be funny to see somebody commenting:

Ris Low cant speak. I better than her way more. BOOMZ!


Sorry, I'm not very good at imitating lousy English.
So...I don't think I have anything else to say. Have a happy holiday.

~Today in History~
1943: The new government of Italy sides with the Allies and declares war on Germany.
Moral: Italians always change sides, so don't be happy if they join you first.

~Quote of the Day~
America can always be counted on to do the right thing – after it has exhausted all other possibilities.
Winston Churchill. Go America!
