In Class

( This happened today in class, English period, while doing revision on Form 4 literature... )

Joshua : What does untrimm'd ( in Sonnet 18 ) mean ?

Benedict : HAIRY !!!

Scott : Hairy ?? ( laughs )

Kenneth : Mariah Hairy

Benedict : No ! It's Mariah Carey.... not Mariah Hairy... She's not hairy

Krishna : Why you've seen before is it ????

---------------------------------------------

Later,

Benedict: That's why she sang "Touch my body", not Touch my hair !!!!!

Donate, Please.... Pretty please with sugar on top....

Why am I smiling so happily ??? actually, I dunno too.... Well, it's most probably because I just got RM 50 note by a very generous man, at the coffee shops or dim sum restaurants along Gurney Drive.. Thank God for His favour. I managed to collect almost a full tin with loads of one ringgit too by 10.45.... and that's just 3 hours collecting. I actually enjoy flag day ( I get to walk all over the place.... ) That's because I love walking. This year, I joined Paalan ( my classmate of 6 years and schoolmate of 11 years ) and Kenneth ( my HSL ) to collect the money. We started off at Pulau Tikus Market then went to Gurney Drive. Kenneth decided to go somewhere else. Paalan and I collected loads along Gurney Drive and we had lots of fun too. Laughing all the way... My last year d......Sighs

It's so funny la

Just the other day at the Tapah resthouse, something really funny happened to me..... Well, I followed Uncle Choo in his car to the Hot Springs. So, I wanted to eat something... and I saw "Daily Fresh" , something new at the r&r ( to me ). So, I saw something that looks like chocolate ice-cream... looks yummy....



then ordered it...reached into my pocket.....and then......... I realised MY MONEY IS NOT HERE !!!! It was in the car in the booth...Uncle Choo & the rest were at Dunkin Donuts... ( which is really far-on the other side of the resthouse ). HOW ??????? I ask if the order could be cancelled... He said they had already started to make it. I told the guy to wait for a while.......

I ran like nobody's business to Dunkin and told Uncle Choo....... He lend me some money.... And I ran all the way back.... I thought the guy would come and look for me.....but he didn't ( relief ! )
Then I went back... paid ( They actually froze the thing... not throw it away ). I was breathing so heavily...... at least I now had ice-cream....

I laughed to myself as I enjoyed the ice-cream... funny things do happen.... when you're away from home and when you're least expecting it.......

Gender Equality

Just recently, I joined the HSBC Public Speaking Competition... Well, it's my dream to go to London for the international level but I didn't make it to the national finals... at least I got in the semi-finals... but that's not the point. The point is I spoke on an interesting topic "Gender Equality".... did some research...... The following below are some quotes on the topic above

“I do not wish [women] to have power over men; but over themselves,” by Mary Wollstonecraft.

“You don't have to be anti-man to be pro-woman,” by Jane Galvin Lewis.

“We have to free half of the human race, the women, so that they can help to free the other half,” by Emmeline Pankhurst.

“The test for whether or not you can hold a job should not be the arrangement of your chromosomes,” by Bella Abzug.

“When women thrive, all of society benefits, and succeeding generations are given a better start in life,” by Kofi Annan.

“The education and empowerment of women throughout the world cannot fail to result in a more caring, tolerant, just and peaceful life for all,” by Aung San Suu Kyi (1945 - ), Daw Burmese-Myanmarese dissident and politician; Leader of National League for Democracy, Nobel Peace Prize laureate

“Women have been taught that, for us, the earth is flat, and that if we venture out, we will fall off the edge,” by Unknown Author.

“The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says, "It's a girl,” by Shirley Chisholm.

“Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses, women for their strengths,” by Lois Wyse.

Well, the second paragraph of my speech went like that

Some of you are now wondering what am I, one of the male species, doing here in trying to promote gender equality. Let me explain, last week on the 8th of March, our world celebrated the International Women’s Day. “This year’s theme was ‘Women and men united to end violence against women and girls’. Well, here I am uniting hand in hand with the women to promote gender equality. I believe that women play an equally important role in the regeneration and renewal of our world.

So, I do promote gender equality...

but when it comes to public speaking and debates...

I believe that men are better !!!

You knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.

When I was woven together in the depts of the earth,

your eyes saw my unformed body.

All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
