A (Big) Dream Comes True

Today...I took a great leap and possess a silver unevenly rectangular box that holds within it...the power to preserve light.

As you might remember from our physics lessons in high school, everything we see we see because there is light. So this box of mine can capture a moment's light and give me the liberty to choose to visit the photo printing shops for developing the light on some glossy paper.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I smugly present to you (drums, people, drums!)...my Nikon Coolpix L11!!! 6.0 Megapixels, ISO 800, 2.4" LCD and 3x optical zoom plus a really cute mini tripod, 1GB Nikon memory card and some free photo-printing card all for the price of RM385!!! That's the deal you get when you have people like Cai Xia with you to do the bargaining.

Ok la, nothing too fancy but hey! I've been wanting a camera since ice age! So now that I've got one, though not a very canggih one la, I can now devote my free time (or whatever's left of it) to photography!!!

Yay!

(calms down)

Now I have to do my work.

Our Red Herring

RED HERRING: irrelevant diversion.

(As found in The Little Oxford Dictionary, my little friend.)

Joshua Phua is one. A good one at it too. The class clown of my class who is always surprising us with his remarks and implications of how everything can be related to a certain taboo topic that involves activities behind closed doors.

I salute thee in some ways for your creativity, Joshua. At least he makes the class laugh a lot.

This is an example of how surprising Joshua's wit can be:

Setting: During Grammar tutorial today, Ms Wee was giving examples of broken English likely used by UTAR students.

On white board, the example sentence: He nervous.

Grammatically, that is wrong. We should add a verb in between "he" and "nervous".

Result: He is nervous.

"Nervous" is an adjective.

But no...

Joshua: "No, "Nervous" is his name, so he is Nervous."

What in the world, Joshua...

Smacks forehead, signs off.
