For speechcomm today, we had to do a speech on two objects that represent us and that we put under our pillow like how that nutter, Alexander the Great, did (bg info: he conquered at least half of Europe and all the way to India before he was even 25 (or is it 20?), hence his title. He was fatally poisoned at 28. He was also a homosexual but that doesn't matter, he's not Alexander the Gay, now is he? In the movie he had this really creepy relationship with his mom played by Angelina Jolie...) That pretty much freaked me out, because hello??? I have no idea who I am!!! I was pretty much like a stuck rabbit inches away from looming gigantic vehicle headlights...or however that phrase goes.
Oh one thing I do know is that I am impulsive, but I couldn't think of anything that represents impulsiveness. I can now, but it's too late: Showing the class all my receipts from clothing stores all over Singapore. Anyway receipts are certainly not important to me, so what would they be doing under my pillow? (nothing beats AtG, though: He kept a book and dagger under his pillow. How uncomfortable is that, huh? He never thought he could impale himself by accident when he was tossing around in bed?)
I pretty much screwed that speech up but it's non-assessed. Another reason why I forgot what I was going to say: I had the sudden, urgent need to pee. It was that damned can of green tea. :P
Today's lesson was much like a therapy session. We were made to explore the depths of our person and tell the others about our past experiences and so on. I told some porkies: for example while I do resent my parents for forcing piano lessons on me I have never hated playing the piano. Also while I did fail Grade 1 exams twice when I was in primary 1 and 2, I passed my Grade 3 as well as my grade 5. And also I am actually unbelievably awesome (hohum do you see my head growing bigger?) at playing the piano, I just hate following the boring classical scores and I suck at the aural sections when you have to sing the notes which you're supposed to have memorised. And also I do not suck at rhythm.
But if I had said all this, there wouldn't be any reason to have a grade 5 certificate under my bed and I was running out of ideas fast :P
My mom is flying off soon, at 1.05am later. Parentless, for a week! But I am a responsible person *smirk* I will not trash the house or burn it down, do underage drinking, play with fire, etc.
I'm going to get my guitar this weekend, hopefully. Let's see whether I'm better at it than the piano, eh?
