Prom

When the school anthem was sung, memories from the past 12 years flashed by.

Playing table tennis with the $2 bats from the bookshop.
Playing freezer and pondan.
Singing the school anthem at the quadrangle with my power rangers school bag in the front.
Playing football for the school.

Singing hymns at chapel.
Singing the school anthem after chapel.
Football at the parade square.
Getting busted by Mr. See for bringing kickapoo out of the SAC.
Playing waterpolo for the school.
BB camps.
BB parades.
BB Bible Study.
Making films with BLT Productions.
Wrecking classes.
OEP.

I know mother tells me that I will feel the same way about the army when I leave, but I doubt so.

Scratch that. I shouldn't be so negative about the future, because after 12 years I have learnt to live believing that the best is truly yet to be.

And now iTunes shuffling has decided I have to listen to "If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time" by R. Kelly. My mac is wicked.

The End...

seems more like rounding off like opening out now, doesn't it?

but it is, in fact, BOTH!!!

Time flies, like a stray arrow shot by archers in Beowulf. I think I might just miss the daily annoucements to:

1. Look under your desk to check that you have no unauthorized material.
2. Check to see if the paper has the correct number of pages. But remember, DON'T read the questions!
3. Remember that colour pencils can only be used for graphs, diagrams, and charts.

Can't remember the others at the moment.

Life will not be purposeless these next few weeks (hopefully), even though this is just about the first time ever we all have had nothing to do, really.

Little Britain...

... tis a silly place, as King Arthur said in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Well actually, he said Camelot was a silly place, but they all mean the same thing in the end.

Anyway, Yahoo! news have excellently managed to verify this claim, by shedding light on some of the intricate laws which govern the land of Britain, including:

1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament
2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down
3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store
4. Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day
5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter
6. A pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet
7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the king, and the tail of the queen
8. It is illegal to avoid telling the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing
9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour
10. In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow
---------------------
gee, compared to Britain, Singapore seems like a fine city, doesn't it?
