Michael Jackson

This is a repost regarding the King. I totally misjudged him when I was "young and foolish". Now that I've actually listened to all of his hit songs, I know what they meant.

When you hear, "but, the kid is not my son" (Billie Jean) or " The fire's in their eyes, and their words are really clear, so beat it" (Beat It", what will be your first reaction? A grin, a smile? A nodding of head to the beat or maybe you would dance?

For me, the first reaction is to (don't laugh) start singing. Either I'll move my feet in a pathetic attempt to imitate MJ's moonwalk, or I'll mouth the words (yes, I try remember).

Michael Jackson's life had three eras, the childhood, the inspirational years and the not-so-inspirational years. Everytime I take those annoying facebook tests, they always put me under the childhood years. Well, I find that time a very disturbing time for Michael, as he was put through a rough childhood and a belt-wielding father, Joe.

I admire Michael Jackson's music, see his dancing and grin, and read his history and feel pity for him. I'm sure you've all admired the superstar and his legend.

To me, he was a prodigy. To me, he was an inspiration, someone I look up to. But from me, and on behalf of all my friends, I hope he rests in peace.

R.I.P, Michael Joseph Jackson, from 5I.

NE show

The NE show was very boring. The most intresting part of the show was probably the long queue to the toilet. Rika, my close friend who was supposed to be my partner, was absent on MC. Luckily Sofia (another close friend) offered to partner me. The first part of the show was the Red Lions jumping down and the activities. Then, we saw the "terrorist attack" which was so fake. Then I went to the toilet for almost 20 minutes before finally going back. At last, my mother came over and I gathered my things and headed over to Nan Hua's side. I stayed with them for the rest of the show before it started to rain. That's when I realised something : I had left my poncho on my seat at HPPS's side! My mom made me don her poncho as she opened her umbrella and controlled her class. In the end, we headed to Nan Hua Primary and after all the children from my mum's class had gone, we took a cab back home.

Ancient Civilisation

This is on the English topic we're doing, Ancient Greece. In Ancient Greece, the women can't do ANYTHING. If I lived there, I would be extremely unhappy as I have no assets and I would have to be married early so I can depend on my husband (that is so disgusting, what was wrong with the Greeks?).

The men could do whatever they want whereas the women couldn't, they treated the women as good-for-nothings, only useful for bearing offspring, sewing, cooking and doing all the household chores when the men led a terrific life.

I think it serves the men right that they have to act as women in plays. They were the ones who weren't reasonable, so I wonder why the Greeks didn't call those boys (who played women) names. They deserve it.

The women in those times could not ask questions, and neither could they talk too much. That isn't fair at all and I think I wouldn't be able to survive in those times, for I am extremely talkative (but now I'm in the middle of Yan Yan and Sonia, and I can't talk to ANYONE at all...).

I don't know what grudge men held against women in those times, but all I can say is that I'm glad people like Amelia Earhart, Margaret Thatcher and Florence Nightingale appeared, because if not, I'll be sitting at home doing household chores.

Class Librarian

It tickles me to think that Mrs Tay chose me and Rika to be the class librarians only because we were in the same group...and then she moves me next to Christian!

Mrs Tay says that she is going to make us take back our books. To all my friends: THE BOOK NUMBER IS NOT ON THE SPINE OF THE BOOK! I don't understand: It's on the inside!

Leave the checking to us, please, and don't complicate things. I am always the book number checker whereas Rika records everything.

It's nice to be class librarian. It's not boring and you have the privilege of borrowing and returning books first so you can choose which ones you want.

I love books and I like reading but I must be on my bed, lying down. I have perfect eyesight even though I am ALWAYS doing something to spoil it. If I'm not lying down to read, I'm using the computer for 2 hours straight without stopping... :D
