Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant and vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Today, I sat on my sister's spectacles and well, a lovely thing happened to them.

The stringy thing that joins the prescription lens and the transition one broke! :O Marvellous. So she went off to the optical shop and got it fixed, like two hours after the incident happened.

Ok. That was not very interesting. But I'm trying to do History here! Ugh.

Sir Stamford Raffles v.s. Colonel William Farquhar

Personally, I think William Farquhar had bad start right at the beginning, clearly because of his surname. I cannot believe that its true pronunciation is FAHR-KER (obviously it sounds like a certain famous profanity)! I mean, there is a U there so it should be pronounced! Anyway he was Scottish, and perhaps the Scottish enunciate things funnily, like the way their kilts are funny too.


So, bad start, Raffles probably made fun of him, if the British even used that word at that time. But i really doubt so.

Oh, plus, since Farquhar caught like centipedes and rats, he should have joined Raffles with the London Zoo thing!!!! Unfortunately, Raffles had an ENORMOUS and STINKY flower named after him!!!!!! Famous yes, but ?!?!?! Smelly flower? Hmm. If the flower was named after Farquhar, it could have been uh silghtly more apt? I mean like. Bad word--> bad flower???!??!


OKAY i need to finish my SBQ and find chun1 lian2 phrases and mandarin rat idioms. AH and finish the art worksheet on the greek sculpture exhibition at the national museum.

At first i thought we would take a really long time to reach the museum but we got there in like 10 mins? It then dawned on me that we were in orchard and ergo very near to the museum because it's near plaza sing/istana/ymca/parkmall area which is near orchard and near our school! hee hee. Nice museum, and I saw a photo shoot taking place as we were leaving! Some model on the balcony plus a bunch of photographers on the opposite one. Anyway the sculptures were 0.o. interesting yet...... never mind.


HOMEWORK NOW. byes!
