Its been a week, and I think my post is long overdue. Well, as you people might have probably inferred, the whole island story thing would've probably ended up as me being their god of sorts and so on and so forth, the classic ending of diabolical laughter (thanks Anderson for word choice) and power-hungry bloodthirsty thingums.
Which brings to mind the classic film, The Road To El Dorado. Loved it as a kid, love it now. About a pair of Spanish rogues (nothing about the inquisition) who stumble upon a map to El Dorado, find the place, are mistaken as gods and have many different things while they're there. Here's a clip:
And then proceeded to watch another animation by (I think) the same makers, Prince of Egypt. They said it sucked and all that, and the poster really didn't do it justice. Being a non-Christian myself, I could still feel impacted by the whole story of Exodus depicted in animated form, having watched another version as a kid, The Ten Commandments was its name, yes. Especially the Passage of the Red Sea bit. Priceless. Here are two songs I liked the best, Deliver Us, seen at the very start of the animation, followed by Plagues, the more wrathful one, personal fave.
Now let's do a quick recap of this week. Monday went to Jerry's house to play, where the sole of my shoe actually came off; thank God I brought my skateboard with me. I'd be limping half the way. Then proceeded for archery where my aiming was terribly off. Until I realized the sighter was off. After which I scored a few 10s. But like, whut the hell.
Tuesday I went for ice skating, along with Anderson, Kwun Tong and The Tan Wei Xuan. I will let my chat logs speak for thems- Oh, can't find them. Well. Besides TWX's incessant screaming and persistent refusal to let go of the yellow ledge, was also his complete inability to skate, which also led to something when the alarm thing rang, everyone cleared off the ice, leaving the helpless TWX (who had summoned the courage to walk along the ledge one round, but was halfway through) on the other side of the ring while everyone else swiftly skated off. I cannot describe the scene as it was, only that it left my stomach aching as I laughed maniacally leaning on the wall thing. HUR.
Oh oh then there was once he was so persistent to hang onto the ledge, when Kwun Tong pulled him back his skates were like. Sliding backwards, and with a "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" he soon fell to the ground with a thud. Guy came over, asked "Are you alright?" He said something along the lines of "WAH LAO KWUN TONG" then the guy asked, "him leh?" and pointed to me, rolling uncontrollably on the floor in laughter.
All in all, was a great trip. Should visit KLP soon, be it for ice skating, bowling, or just the chicken sticks Kwun Tong brought to our attention. But then went for fencing where we started out playing a bit of soccer and socializing a bit before actually getting to practice. Okay lah!
Well as for now, my grandad has cancer, there's blood all over my tabletop and I'm pregnant again. One of the above was a lie.
*licks tabletop*
Oh, WATCH THIS. Its SOOOOO sweet. Well, not the best word, but its the thought that counts.
And of course, the classic granny:
I swear I'm going to show this to my mom to persuade her to let me keep a cat.
Leaving for Hokkaido soon with Jeremy, turns out Greg, Kai Lun and Mr Law are also going there on the exact same dates, so we're gonna arrange something. And HUANG just got back from there a couple of days ago too. Teacher's friend also going there. Waaaah. But considering my dad's probably driving, I better bring all my homework there so I can make full use of the time on the road.
That was a pretty long post, but that sums up the past few days. And I'm really tired, had a couple of dreams; some pretty, some inspirational, some less than comforting, but eventually resulting in, somehow, a fear of falling asleep. Its like a "I don't wanna fall asleep, I wanna spend more time with you" kinda dumb thing.
Inhales and exhales sharply.
