One post till the last.


Yesterday was our school's annual Mandarin speech competition. Half of the finalist were our classmates, as expected. Other than the 抑扬顿挫, nothing was special actually, the tones were the same, the script were nearly the same, the message they were trying to tell us were simply the same, and the contestant were still no boys, as usual.

In the end, no highlights for the week seriously.

My teacher appointed me to make the wooden store-board (AS in storeroom and cupboard combined into a word.) a piece of stuff that isn't a sore eye. In other words, make it into a mini library. Of course, what could be better than changing it into a library? Actually nothing.

So the whole thing wasn't done, so i hope that i can get the job done.

At the end of next week, two movies were featured in the cinemas.
1.) IP MAN 2
The only thing i can say about this, who was the name translator? It made the guy they are talking a superhero. (Even though he is.) Like a comic book hero. Even KICK-ASS named KICK-ASS and i have no idea why it is rated 18......

2.) IRON MAN 2
Okay, so the names are quite similar, but they are still different. One's a nice guy from the start till the end, another just a genius weapon expert who wears awesome around.

When can i watch these movies? Don't know when but hope so.

They said: Classic Blockbuster always classic at the first movie, but in the second movie, it gets down. I don't know if there is a scientific law about it, but i sure it depends on the script, not the curse.

This is a short post and you knew it, i knew it, he knew it, she knew it, they knew it, we knew it, so make this fullstops an end.

Kinda empty this week......

I brought my camera to school in order to snap some pictures during the photography society outing, today, it deceived me. Why? The rechargeable battery went out of juice and the charger went out of order. I haven't even get to copy and paste the pictures into my computer. Not to forget there ain't any AA batteries at home either.

Back to school, nothing's really happened.

My Second Elder Sister is turning 21 at Thursday, i gave her a digital birthday non-animated card by mspaint. Due to the not-very-good school internet service, i was worried that i can't make it in time. Well, my worries were gone since it sent "perfectly".

After 24 hours, the bus for the photography society outing has arrived. About 25++ of the members "浩浩荡荡" went to the 皇家山, a park in front of the EX-British Colonel Administration Building.

First thing first, lunch, chicken rice+罗汉果+冰.
Then? When you got a camera on your hands, what else can you do?
With a click and a snap, and a long distance around the lake, (you can say this rather a photographing but an exercise.) lastly, to the over 100 years old building.

Finally i found out, my camera memory limit,
191 photos
is the card's full limit.

Every Friday night is our hostel movie night. For all those weeks, only a few movies satisfy us. Friday, 20 percent of the audience walk out from the "theater". Why?

The audio group made a mistake, one of them played a Hong Kong (Something starts with 72.) comedy and stopped it right before the official movie. (Some boring old Korean movie.)

Of course everyone would be angry. SO? Some went out to play basketball till the rain starts, some went to the canteen and have a meeting; some, went for a walk till the movie ends.

As the audio group came back, it is reasonable for others to ask them what in the world had happened. Another one of them is my roommate and he is the aggressive one. He refuses to say any and scold people who asked at the same time.

This is an experience of life that remind us. Don't make something entertaining into something unsatisfying, it would only bring less trust form others.

And that's is what i wanted to say this week.

End!

Cats

Cat, in Chinese: 猫; in Malay; Kucing; in French: Chat; in Hindi: Billi; in Korean: Goyang-i; in Japanese: Neko. Binomial named: Felis catus, why the heck am i talking about all this? Let me tell you a story.....

April 7, Wednesday, as usual, me, along with 邱泳铭 and 赵文豪 went to the hostel cafeteria for our "delicious" and "nutritious" breakfast, fried noodles with red bean soup. For our wallet sake, that's why we were there. (Usually, it was Milo/Teh and cakes/breads/buns/tarts/baozi/xiubao. )

Let's get in to the point, a couple of cats came into cafeteria. Since this place a paradise full with wasted food, nobody surprised with their existence, so were we.

For their interaction, the black cat with a bigger size, must be the mother, as for the grayish brown cat, though its sex appeal was unconfirmed, it must be the black cat's kitten. Which is VERY cute.

The felines came to an old wooden shelf with four layer or plank. Which is about 15 cm from the brick fence with iron flower bars, beside it was a table, well it wasn't important.

So, why were they there? Because the mother cat was trying to teach the kitten how to use the rack to jump on the top of the brick fence. With a hop and a skip, it was easy for the mother.

As for the kitten, i can't say it was a coward because everyone is afraid to try new things. It just wouldn't dare to jump even the first layer of the shelf. So the mommy for the top drop to the bottom, and to the top again, up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down and up just to demonstrate the jumping. So was our eyeballs, 20++ of students saw the whole thing too, like us, they chew the noodle slowly or wait while they're staring at it.

FINALLY, the kitten finally got to the level 3. It took about 10 minutes for its achievement with its mother's help. Next lesson, using the bars as a guide to climb to Level 4. The mommy pushed as the kitten tried to reach another bar with its little paws.

Fail, Fail, Fail, fail, fail, dropped to level 2, back to the ground, forced back up, watching its mom demonstrating, meow.

The mommy cat sighed. Very obviously, it is not like we speak cats. With a meow, okay?

Plan B, a gentle bite on the kitten's neck, the black cat lift its child, climbing all the way to level 4, it is like carrying a 6 years old kid climbing up the ladder, not stairs.

We were shocked and surprised.

Third lesson, jumping from the top of the shelf to the top of the fence. For a little kitten, it might be hard for it as kittens' legs weren't as strong as adult cats'. It was frightened. It crawl back down to level 3 even it wasn't good with it. The mommy cat chased its kitten back to level 4 and let it try again.

Another 10 minutes later. The kitten still can't jump to the top. Its mother can't wait any longer. It bit the child's neck, lift the kitten with its neck muscle, HOP! Jump while we are WA-ing.

First time, dropped for the weight. (This time is carry a bag of rice with your mouth and jump onto a platform 2 meters high. ) Second? of course not. But blacky just won't give up. With full force, the cats stayed at the edge of the fence top, lifted up its right hind leg, reached the edge of the tile, and SUCCESS!

It made it! The "audience" "cheered" silently because it would be awkward when a crowd of guys cheer for a couple of cats.

The "curtain" closed as the kitten were bit off the scene. Till then, we left after staying 20 minutes at the cafeteria.

This isn't a make up fairy tale, it is the real deal, real action of our bare eyes.
We all knew animals have their maternal instinct to protect their child, but, do we knew how the cats acts in front of their daily lives? The mother doesn't give up for getting its own child to learn the skill of climbing. It doesn't care how many times it takes to demonstrate for the kitten.

There you have it, the story about a cat and its kitten. Fin

P/s: I watched the J2z CDs and it was great because we can watch these memories after years and years, if we manage to keep it unharmed. Finally know how the gingerbread girl goes, and ya know, fun to watch.

Okay, times up, see ya next week, with the chapter 20!!!
