Lesley here. I hope no-one's come down with anything since the class party, except for Jillian who has pulled a muscle or something related to that - get well soon, Box!
Tweed's internet has been down for some time, therefore she will not be posting on the MySpace that I share with her. We post anonymously, Tweed as 'Tweed' and I as 'Cat'. Don't let the cat out of the bag and tell people who we are if you leave comments (I think you can, even if you don't have an account). I've already added the link at the bottom of blogs from our classmates, so you can take a look if you like (I've been trying to work on the layout, so excuse me if it looks like crap).
I have been drawing a lot and thankfully for me my old style of drawing is gone. I have only one picture up on dA besides all the photography I've been doing, so if you want to check up on where I've been to and what photos I've taken you can head to my dA page (I will add the link after I post this entry).
The class blog seems really quiet, so try and post if you have the time. Hopefully we'll soon see more posts here!
Please read Of Mice And Men (hereinafter referred to as OMAM) and The Merchant Of Venice (hereinafter referred to as TMOV. OMAM is really interesting yet so poignant at the end. It really opens your eyes about what life used to be like (and possibly is like). By the way, don't listen to any of your seniors if they tell you it's about gays. I read it, and it's not really about gays. It's about friendship and hardship and all sorts of other ships.
TMOV I haven't started on, because it's the edited format with lots of silly notes that spoil the entire book. If you asked me, I'd rather read the unabridged version. This version we were given to study has NO OLD ENGLISH and that is a sad, sad thing indeed. They spoilt the entire book with notes. I'm going to have to slog through it and then I'll post and tell you how things went (it doesn't even seem to be a play, for crying out loud).
I went overseas to Australia sometime before and I returned just a week ago. I went to Hobart (the capital of Tasmania) and then to Melbourne. You can check out the photos I've been taking on dA as I have mentioned. The trip was awesome. The weather in Australia beats Singapore by a long shot. A very long shot. Hobart was a lot nicer, though. It was more natural and less polluted.
I went to Bruny Island, which is just off Hobart (you take the ferry there from Hobart). It's practically a wild island. Even the Hothouse Cafe on the island has a peacock running around inside it, so you can see what I mean ;) Also, I took a tour to Mt. Fields National Park. I have a feeling Ms Goh would want to bring us there. She'd tell us what sort of rainforest it was, and all sorts of geographical facts. It really is a rainforest, and there was a path which the tour guide led us on (you aren't supposed to go there, but some of us went, anyway) that showed you the top half of the waterfall. Being an abandoned path, it was, of course, very dangerous, and I nearly fell off one of the ledges (it's a loooong way down). When we got back to safe ground I found (the horror, the misery) a leech on my shoe. Thankfully it didn't reach my skin before I scraped it off. Ouch.
Did you know leeches are EXTREMELY stretchy?
I also went to Melbourne's Victoria Market. I bought antique music boxes there (they're quite small, they fit in your palm) and a host of other things. Wish you all were here, or that we went to Australia instead of Malacca, and did more interesting tours (like Bruny Island).
Take care and enjoy the holidays! I'll be going to HK soon. (More clothes shopping.... ugh.)
