Here's a topic my dad would disapprove of.

Hi friends,

Before I get to that just want to talk about Celia's birthday party. Actually I wanted a nice super long post but sadly I'm becoming a lazy pig. Furthermore, there was some problems with the photos and I can't get them onto the computer. So I'm just going to say that the party was a BLAST!!!! Xin Ying,Clement, Mingrou, Danson, Qian Wei, Evelyn, Celine and I attended. Totally fantastic, had all of us laughing like mad monkeys. I think one person that made the day really, really funny was Clement. *evil grin* xing zai le huo...>:P The sweet hunt, water balloon fight, youtubing, and the section where Clement was really entertaining (no offence), was crazy. Anyway I want to thank Celia and everybody else for a great time.

So now I'm going to post something random because I don't know what to post - that is how "colourful" (not in the way that English teachers like) my language has become. And how my thoughts change. Was just thinking about it when I decided to post it. Hmm...here's an example: these are the answers that I would give during different times to the same question.

Question: Describe your feelings about different subjects.

WAIT- ALL TEACHERS, THE RED 'X' IS RIGHT THERE, CLICK NOW!! Or if you want to, just read the Primary one version.

Primary One answer: (in cute voice) I like English. I like Maths. I like Chinese. *cute grin*
Primary 2 answer: (in voice that is slightly less cute)I really like English! Maths is quite nice lah. I don't really like Chinese leh...but still quite okay lah.
Primary 3 answer: (in a voice that is far from cute) English totally rocks!!! Maths ah...I kinda like it but maybe not as much as English? Chinese? Well I don't think I like it that much but it's still quite okay... [dui bu qi, chen lao shi (peps)]Science, I totally love it!!
Primary 4 answer: (in a voice that is SERIOUSLY NOT CUTE)Tell you man, English is so damn cool!!! Maths, don't ask me about it, it (what you do to a lollipop)! (Miss Tan, I AM REALLY SORRY I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY) Chinese is alright, not as bad as Maths but it still (what you do to a straw). (chen lao shi (nhps), wo zhen de hen dui bu qi.)Science is pretty cool...
Primary 5 answer: (in a voice that is JUST DAMN ANYTHING BUT CUTE) Boy, English SERIOUSLY ROCKS, IT'S SO DAMN FRIGGIN (sorry) AWESOME !!! Maths, it really stinks like _____ (Mdm Sha, I'm really seriously sorry, you know what just click the red 'X' right now.Or actually, a couple of seconds ago.)Chinese is quite alright, but it still stinks. (Sheesh, chen lao shi dui bu qi!!!!! nin jiu jia zhuang mei kan dao ba...)Science, well, it's kinda cool. Then again, maybe not so cool? (Mrs Peer, just pretend that you didn't see the second sentence. Then again, sorry...)
Primary 6 answer: (in a voice that is NOT CUTE, SO NOT CUTE, AND YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT CUTE, DAMMIT!) Well, English didn't rock it like last year but who says that it doesn't kick (another word for donkey)??!!! No matter what it will always kick (another word for donkey)!!(Sorry Mrs Goh for the first line...) Hey, Maths doesn't rock...but it doesn't mean that it stinks, and it doesn't mean that it sucks! It sorta stinks but not as bad as last year, in fact much nicer than last year. Nowhere near last year but nowhere near English. (Mdm Sha, SORRY....I will accept rotten eggs...)Chinese is actually pretty okay, maybe even cool...Science is also kinda cool, in fact I sort of like it, maybe not as much as Primary 3...(Mdm Teo, I'm sorry...)

Firstly I want to say that no matter what I'm totally grateful that I have such fantastic teachers every single year and ALL of them rock, I am thankful for their dedication, effort, guidance and patience. THANK YOU.

The only feeling that can describe how I feel now is really, totally guilty. For two reasons: the descriptions that I don't want teachers to take to heart and some of the inappropriate words used. But that's how my language has changed since Primary 1, and maybe I can't help it. Maybe I can. I don't know how it happened, it just changed "naturally". All those words just jumped and made their home in my speech. But hey if I were to stick with the Primary 1 descrption all the time people would think that I'm some really weird person with the brain of an octopus controlling my speech and thoughts. I have no idea what an octopus' brain is like but I don't think it's very normal. While the change in my way of talking isn't very good I think it wouldn't be nice to have the brain of an octopus controlling my speech. No one talks in the Primary One way now right?! Even if your speech isn't peppered with words that shouldn't be there WHO TALKS LIKE THE PRIMARY ONE ME. It will naturally leave me, those words that I use that aren't supposed to be used, I guess, but I doubt that I will be making much effort to change it.

Ooops.
