It's a one week break.Thank God for one week breaks.If they didn't exist, I probably wouldn't exist as well.Soooooo................
This is good, all my friends and I are home with the family, and our agenda is mostly the same:-
1. Eat a lot(of stuff that don't remind you of cafeteria food)
2.Sleep a lot
3.Be happy
My list would include also the following:-
1.Shop till I drop for Chinese new year clothes.
2.Watch plenty of VCDs
3.Read a lot of good story books borrowed from library
4.Go to bank.
5.Play computer games
Generally, my list includes stuff that don't require a lot of brains.However, I did help my brother Sam with add math homework just now, wonder if that counts against me.
Talking about shopping,
It's so terribly hard to get decent clothes nowadays.I scoured the whole of Mahkota Parade yesterday, and only managed to find one blouse.Everything is either too revealing or too 'old' looking.Wazzup with fashion? most of everything I saw either has plunging neckline, too little cloth, too transparent , etc. It seems that the theme this season is " Let's -just-cover-the-essential-parts".*exasperated moan*
Currently, to kill time, I'm reading this book called 'Scarlett' which is the (not too good) sequel to 'Gone with The Wind'.You see, Margaret Mitchell wrote GwTW, but died soon after ,so the (pumpkin headed) members of the Margaret Mitchell foundation hired another lady to write the sequel, which I now(hesitantly) read.the review can be given in the form of a make believe dialogue between the lead characters:-(Note: All conversation in Southern American accent)
Scarlett: Oh,Rhett
R. Butler: Oh' Scarlett, we meet again, in this horrible sequel.
Scarlett: oh,Rhett, the horror, the horror.. why couldn't they just leave us alone?
R. Butler: Darling, can't you see...... they did it for the money
Scarlett: Oh.. those heartless fools.They've killed off some favourite characters
Mammy: Like me.
Scarlett: Oh. Mammy, what are we to do?
Mammy: Nu'thin miz Scarlett.The public ain't no airheads.T'hey gonna figure dis out,and this dumb sequel ain't gonna see the light of day.

A Solemn Celebration
JANUARY 2005.
A time of sadness, a time of celebration.We live in a time when the world does not know which to do, to cry or to cheer.And so they do both.
This year, we celebrate the strangest of new years.When the average unaffected person does not know what to do, for the reason to mourn seems irrelevent, yet we must honour those who do.
Somebody downloaded Tsunami disaster amateur footages from CNN on to the desktop of this computer,and I was watching it just now.There was one from Phuket,where the waves came so suddenly that its full strength was not known till it hit the beach,where a few people were still walking about,oblivious to the danger.I hope they are safe.In the footage, the waves were engulfing them and a lot of people from the higher level beachfront were running towards them,trying to save them.The footage ended there.So we do not know.
Chemistry test on the 1st of January was pushed back to the 8th.So my complaint, God answered.To show He still cares, He still listens and He knows.
I spent New year in watchnight service FGA KL.After that, went over to Jo and Eunice's place for a slumber party.Sad, everything was sad and quiet.That was new year's day. Sad ,solemn and quiet. No countdown,no shouts,but I'm not complaining.I saw this footage from CNN that was showed in church while we were at watchnight service praying.
Did you know, there were so many bodies in Sri Lanka that the authorities could not embalm them properly,so what they did was just to spray disinfectant on the bodies piled up.I study this type of things,decomposition of bodies and the microbes that cause that.So that image hit me hard.
I've signed up with church missions team to go to Sri Lanka to help rebuilding somewhere in April.
French lecturer says,If you can't give much money, at least we can give our services.So there.
Test season is almost over except for French paper tomorrow.Au'revoir.
