What I needed all these years-music,plugged

I need a MP3 or MP4 player. Yes, I still don't have one. I need some music blasting in my ears when I feel bored, discouraged, lonely, or not in the mood for studying. I truly believe it will fire me up. It's like a micro person or band or musical instrument in your ear, and if there is a good lyric and rhythm, it would be a very nice experience. That's the lure of portable music-for me. Others would put the volume to full blast just to hear the instruments. And some would listen intently to catch the lyrics. And some just enjoy the rhythm. Yet there are a few that can't hear it, I'm glad I haven't met one yet.

If I would be given a choice, I would like either an Apple ipod(any one) or Creative Zen's MP3 and MP4 players. I'm not fussy about the capacity. 8GB or above would be awesome though. 160GB? XD. I just want good sound quality! With Definitely a good birthday present. But I shouldn't hope too much.

I'm not sure whether they're all still selling, though.

Anyway, if I jammed it up with a Skull Candy/awesome headphones.....perfect.

A Series of Unfortunate Events

Nah, not the movie Emily Browning and Liam Aiken starred in. This one is real.

The past two days have been quite eventful ones-in a negative way. I have been ditimpa (evaded) with some less than joyful events. But I wouldn't say they were terrible for me. Some of them were like adventures for me. What's life without challenges? dife?

Before I relate the stories, let me count the number; 1....2....3....4...5...6. Alright, six events-miserable yet challenging events.

Yesterday,

1 My pants got pulled down. To the knees. Epic joke of the year done on me so far. Actually, I pulled someone's pants down earlier but not THAT low. So I don't blame the fella for taking revenge on me, in a friendly way. It really was funny. We're even now dude. Fortunately, school had ended and only the boys saw and some other not so lucky ones. Hey, it's embarassing! I'm using all the guts I have to post this up. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I want to prove that it really was a series of unfortunate events.

2 My shoe was thrown into a dustbin. I still haven't got into finding the -** that did that. But I don't mind. Still, it caused me a slight inconvenience especially because it happened like 5 minutes after the pants thing. By the way, if you're wondering why in the first place my shoes aren't on my feet, it is because I'm not allowed to wear shoes into class because my class is the COMPUTER LAB. I did mentioned this in one of the earlier posts. Anyway, when I found out one of my shoes was missing I searched the shoe rack, the drain and in the class.I even dreaded that it would be on the roof. Then a student came along to ask me a question-where is the monitor. I said the monitor left. Funny how the person didn't notice my lopsided posture because my shoe was on while my other foot was wearing only socks. Anyway, I noticed a dustbin nearby and I knew the plot. I won't mention the manner my left shoe was rescued but I will tell you that my shoe smelt okay-it smelt of whitener-after that episode. Yep, I stuck my nose upside down to catch a waft of its odour.

3 I was locked out of my own house. Crazy? Ya tink? Scout meeting was over early so I walked home only to be forced to climb into my house like a thief. Making matters worse, the doorbell didn't work. Anyhow, my mom wasn't in. The car wasn't inside.I actually would have happily waited outside of my house for my mom to come back.? But I figured that if my mom was out then most probably she was at school waiting to pick me up. I was too late to inform her before she left. So if I don't inform her I was home, she'll end up waiting for an hour and finally getting pissed and the circumstances will become devastating. There are two ways to inform her-telecommunication or I walk back to school. I considered the former which was the fastest way. Telephone! House telephone? How am I gonna reach the house phone when the house is locked?Windows! SNap, a plan. I have a cordless phone (thank God for cordless phones!) in the house that I might be able to reach from the window. All my windows at home are netted so all I have to do is undo the netting so that I can reach in. And it just so happened that the netting to this particular window was done from the outside instead of inside. Remember, God is good, and he always will make a way. In the end I succeeded without tearing my pants and called my mom. Wow.

4 I - into - - - - into - --. Sorry, but it was a terrible experience.

But at least yesterday there was a smile. Haha.

Today

5 I went to sukan only to find out that I was cancelled from my running event. Great. I was already slightly late so I had to sit in a bus filled with emerald (I'm in Ruby house) marching members, PBSM and prefects. But it was pretty fun cause there a few friends there. Reached the stadium and found out I didn't have a number. Which means I am kind of like a useless reserve. But it wasn't so bad. I just hanged around with my friends instead and even managed to take a visit to the Paroi swimming pool which was a 3 minutes walk away from the Paroi Athlete Stadium to see two friends who were in a swimming competition. Nevertheless, the sports day was awesome. I saw many fast runners. Imagine a runner as tall as me beat a runner a head taller! J-super fast!

6 I think I miscounted. Or, I forgot. Erm...sorry can't remember. But the main stuff are above. That's my series of unfortunate events this year. Do you have yours? Please share.

Honestly, I liked the change that came with these so called unfortunate events. Like I said, it was quite like an adventure.

RockMelt

Melt a rock and you get RockMelt. haha.

If you still haven't, check this browser out, it looks pretty exciting and useful for those who need to keep in touch with their peers and families. A socialite's browser, I would say.

Based on Google chrome, but sadly it's popularity has gone down slightly. But I would tell ya all to give it a try.

Pn Poga says...

Passed up my commonwealth essay a week ago and I got it back yesterday-marked. To my surprise it was reviewed by my sis' English teacher-Pn Poga. But then, she's the panitia for English, right?

To be honest, I kind of liked my essay...till now. I finally see it from a different point of view; it is actually quite FUN! Well, her remarks on my essay weren't the main cause. I just read through the whole thing again and criticized it like a normal reader would do." this writer ah..." I didn't have the energy or motivation to do that when I wrote it. Another factor was my friends essay. It was totally awesome Jus!

Anyway, first I had a super interesting beginning in my head for weeks and when I sat down to write it, everything burst forth and reached a dead end. That's the problem when you don't plan the plot. I was literally hoping that some idea would pop up in my head while I was writing but it just didn't happen this time. Eventually, I cracked my head, staying up late at night and it all produce a exciting-turn-monotonous essay. SIGH, this experience has discouraged me a lot. Thus, I decided to buck up and read more. Simple, but for me it's hard because not every book's storyline is as exciting to me as the grammar, no offence though.

Okay, here's some random thing that just popped into my head. I'll like to ask those writers, whether you have experienced this:

You had many ideas all along so when you sit down to write you'll try your best to include all the points, right? What happens when you just can't fit a point in? I mean, for example you have lots of points but there is one point that you thought of that is very important. So when you write the essay or script, you put in all the points and left out the important ones. And the situation of the essay makes it in such a way that if you put in the point at that moment, you'll either go out of topic or the points you put in earlier wouldn't make sense or that important point would look awkward sitting right at the bottom of that paragraph. I'll give an example:

Larry killed the men and ran off. (sorry that's the simplest I could thing off.) He walked down the lane looking behind him. finally he swerved into a dark alley and entered the tunnel leading to Rob's place. Once inside, He was shocked to see the place in a state of commotion.

okay, take that example. Now, let's say I forgot to add in another character which is very important for him to come out at that scene. The character is Larry's college old friend that was at the murder scene and went along to Rob's place. It is a lame example but doesn't it seems that I have reached a dead end and I'll need to rearrange the story? I mean, I can't just put "random fact: Larry's partner bill was with him during the murder", right? Wow, it's difficult to explain but I hope I didn't confuse you. So please tell me, whether you have experienced this?

But my reading didn't start off really well. Today, I learnt a new word: castrate....and it's disgusting. Now I'm getting ideas for my next essay....heh heh.
