AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Thursday, February 25, 2010


Well.....
Happy belated Invasion of Iwo Jima day and raising of flag on Mt Suribachi day!
For your information, Iwo Jima means Sulfur Island. Although I daresay you'd have known that by now if you've known me for a while.
I know that nowadays if you hear from me via this blog, it's like once in a blue moon (which actually does exist, by the way. It's what they call the second full moon in one month.) but I'm quite busy with school. On Monday we end at ten minutes to five, on Tuesday at three o five, on Wednesday it's...weird, on Thursday it's 1615, and on Friday it's...I don't remember what it is. But, basically, to sum up, I never have time to come online anymore, let alone blog.
What about the weekends, you ask? I would, but I'm much too lazy. SO you can take all my reasoning in the previous paragraph and throw it out of the window and just use this much easier excuse. And this excuse, by the way, does not help when you're explaining your undone homework.
Well, in case I didn't tell you, I did manage to get War and Peace for my IH option, and I'm very glad I managed to get it. It. Is. The. Best. Lesson. Ever. Just yesterday we stimulated a war, where Singapore is divided into three parts, Westland, Middleland and Eastland. W invaded M, and M asked for our help, and so we had to justify our cause of action and think of what the enemy would do. The situation escalated when W captured 30 of our people, including the Prime Minister's Son (however did they manage to do that?) and were dropping one off every ten minutes from the top capsule of the Flyer.
Our group's proposal was very simple: Go to War. Why? Because W invaded a sovereign country who was at peace, and that country asked us for help, and in addition they provoked us, who have absolutely nothing to do with the war (yet), by taking thirty of our citizens and dropping them off. Which is quite stupid, if you ask me. Our course of action was going to be 'wait for the US to come and help', or 'wait for the UN to sanction the war', but then we realised we had superior air power (Changi airport, Paya lebar air base) and superior naval power (Changi Naval Base). So we came up with a whole plan of invasion (advance into the CBD area because that's where the port is, at the same time distract with an attempt on Sembawang air base which is in M to distract W's troops while a commando team can be sent in to rescue hostages, build a defence line somewhere in the middle of middleland that should not be run over by enemy forces, bomb Tengah air base, send our destroyers in a flanking attack against the industrial estates in Woodlands and Jurong so that they will not be able to sustain a full scale ten year war, say, etc.) but that, sadly, wasn't needed.
Tomorrow is cross-country. It's compulsory for everybody, girls and guys and staff (although I can't see certain members of the staff running...) and the girls have to run 3.3. Yes, I want it to be meters as well, but it's kilometers. The good news is that I'm not going for it. The bad news is that it's because I have my Grade 7 piano exam tomorrow, which sucks, which I'm going to fail.
Heh, it's funny I'm writing this down because I'm currently also doing a Chinese compo now which is probably graded and I also have my bio project, which is definitely graded, and our group is not getting anywhere on that front. It's a four front war I'm fighting here, people. God knows how many more are going to be added.
So if a few months from now you see me - or actually, you see my brains all over the wall - you'll know how that happened.

~Today in History~
1945: Turkey declares war on Germany. Yup, for three long, hard months they were at war with Germany, sitting on their bums and suffering. Way to go, gobble gobble gobble.

~Quote of the Day~
BZZZZZ and that's all we have time for. Next time...there might not be a next time.
