I’ll just start us off here with a quote.
‘Hello, I’m Henry the rooster. Since this is the Year of the Rooster, the kind folks at Ikea have asked me to say a few words. Did you know that in Sweden, roosters are creatures of nobility? It’s true. Here the roosters don’t get any respect! We’re always referred to as a chicken, a chicken! (Clucks) If I was a Swedish rooster, I’d be sitting in my Ikea living room, listening to Abba; and a nice blonde hen would be giving my drumsticks a massage, Swedish of course. I know you’re saying to yourself Henry, you’re a talking cockerel. But it’s-‘
The rooster stops talking here and the Ikea ad person starts talking. Yes. I don’t know why but I suddenly had this mad urge to do the whole thing in. Yes.
So anyway, that’s just a sub-point. Today I am here to talk about…Stuff.
Stuff is Me. I am Stuff.. :D
Gawd I am so mad.

The Cockroach Incident
Let’s see, Thursday we had another one of those mad tests that Chenlaoshi likes to give us, ie sihan. So everyone was writing very nicely and stuff, I had finished mine as I din’t know what to say to my stupid penpal about coming late to wedding dinners in Singapore. I mean, like come late then come late larh. Not like it’s my fault or something.
Then Chenlaoshi looked at the clock and said very nicely in Chinese, ‘Five more minutes.’
Adeline said something that shouldn’t be said on air very loudly and then sped up her writing speed.
So then after that, Chenlaoshi was like telling us to hand in. I handed in with XL and I only heard Samantha screaming out, ‘There’s a cockroach in the class!’ or ‘Coackroach!’ before the entire class screamed and basically went mad.
I was in the front with XL and Chenlaoshi and had a very nice view about everything because the place where Samantha, Rachel and Supranee sat just exploded as Samantha screeched and stood on her chair, proclaiming to the class that there was a cockroach in the area around her stuff.
Rachel leapt out of her chair remarkably quickly for someone of her size and basically made a lot of noise as Supranee and I moved in for the kill.
Adeline did one of her Adelines, ie screeching very loudly (amazing for someone of her range) and got onto her chair and then, of all things to do, CONTINUED WRITING HER SIHAN.
Yes, so Supranee and I were looking for the cockroach around Sam’s and Rachel’s stuff, when the cockroach made its appearance again. This time, Adeline shrieked her head off, producing a shrill scream that any railway train would have been proud to produce and scarpered from her chair.
She told me later that she wanted to hand in her sihan. No one’s going to buy that story, Adeline.
We found the cockroach, I couldn’t squash it but Supranee did and then we had it cleaned off her shoe and it got stuck onto mine but then we dusted off the shoe and disposed of it nicely.
Now that we got that over and done with… time for another quote!

Things not to say on your first/last date:
‘You look like my mother- I LIKE!’
‘Doctor says that the itch will go in 6 months, don’t worry, it’s just fungus!’
‘If you join the pimples on my back, it says Marry Me! Hahahahahahahaha….’

Debatology
We went to her debate on Friday, she did quite well, aside from the fact that I was grinning madly at whatever she was saying.

So anyway, Adeline is angry at me now ‘cause I pushed her too far. :’(
Okay we made up. Hahahahahahaha
Now that’s the end!
