 A better version of the candle
 This is the club placeLast Friday 8/6/07 , daddy took leave. He brought us to RSYC (some club) to have lunch. Remember the napkin folding, Yeah. We did just that. The waiter was *impressed*. I ate veggie with thousand island sauce, bread with butter dipped in warm mushroom soup. My mom nearly scolded me for dipping it in. Says its impolite or something. I thought thats how you eat bread with butter. --" I ate steak for main course. But they gave such a generous proportion that I almost could not finish. I know it pays to be generous 'cause 善有善报。But hor too generous also no good hor. I was too full for dessert. Too bad. Next, to the School Health Centre. Great! Just what I need to ruin a perfect day :( I was there for my back check-up. Well, they said there were no need to come until next year June after checking me. Thank Goodness. Am I glad to hear that. I am sick of coming back to this place. >< Now, to the library. Sigh...I needed some Literature books and poetry to do my Lit PT. Yep... and although I love books. The library at Marine Parade is not exactly my favourite place. I just can't seem to find the books that I want or need. >< Getting me fed up. Hmmp! Anyway, borrowed 4 books: The Teenage Memoirs, The Drowsy Hours (Susan Pearson), Poetry for young people (Langston Hughes) and Einstein, the girl who hates math (John Agard). Interestingly , I found the Merry-Go-Round Poem in the poetry for young people. I shall write it out since I am in the mood to. Where is the Jim Crow section On this merry-go-round Mister, cause I want to ride? Down South where I come from White and coloured Can't sit side by side. Down South on the train There's a Jim Crow car. On the bus we're put in the back - But there ain't no back To a merry-go-round! Where's the horse For a kid that's black. This is other poems I found interesting from Einstein - the girl who hated maths. Humorous enough (: Archimedes' Mother Speaks to the press I knew he'd follow a mathematical path. Don't ask how. Mums just know. Besides, he always spent such a long time in the bath, tracing spirals and segments on his olive-oiled skin It became a family joke - the way he would toy with soap, calculating its volume, testing its equilibrium. You could say I was a patient Mum. By the time he'd stepped from the bath he was glistening with parabolas, or so he called them I just knew when I heard the news of someone running stark naked through the streets of Syracuse some mathematician according to rumour - I just knew it could only be my Archie, my bath-loving doodler, running in the altogether, inviting the world to join him in his EUREKA, EUREKA! Improper Fractions Just because our numerator is bigger than our denominator is no excuse for calling us improper. Don't make us laugh! Let 15/2 be rewritten as 7 1/2 This give a fraction great satisfaction and we like to think it's proper transaction Beautiful poems :D After borrowing them, I rushed to my piano lesson nearby. Mdm Lee drilled me on my 3 pieces and scales and sight-reading for about 2 hours. I was worn out totally by time I came back. *Sigh* I still have homework to do. -- <3 Elaine |
