I've completed my twisters!
Today's vowel tongue twister:
As he gobbled the cakes on his plate,
the greedy ape said as he ate,
the greener green grapes are,
the keener keen apes are,
to gobble green grape cakes,
they're great!
For this course of Eng Pronunciation, up next is poem recital. It would be a 'Pronunciation Poem'. ;-)

Tongue Twister
I've gotta say this as fast as possible and as perfect as possible:
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?
This tongue twister is the /p/ consonant kinda twister. Next week I've gotta present a vowel twister. Anyone kind enuff to share a vowel tongue twister? It must be 4 lines and I can't seem to find a 4-line one over the net.
Funny, in the midst of doing the oh so technical fyp I get to twist with this. BTW, should I stress the /d/ sound in picked? Sounds a bit weird..Pronunciation course. hmm so that's why it is necessary to do so?

Unavoidable days
Beginning this month and till May will be the busiest months ahead. I have many unsolved things and more coming in. Why can't things be cleared one at a time? One is in the process, then comes next and another soon all waiting to be cleared as soon as they arrive.
Bad days, stressed days, hectic days go away... em..I have to make them go away by getting back to work. -_-"

Flu
For the past 2 days i was down with flu. Today, condition improved but kept feeling tired. The loratadine, paracetamol, and cough mixture makes me feel sleepy. Tired as it is, I am trying to open my eyes wide and pay attention to lectures. And ya, my fyp. Time is running out and i'm under pressure to do it. Drowsy... gotta sleep.

Random Facts to kill some boredom
Random facts about me:
1. Eileen once played rugby by herself. She went undefeated.
2. Eileen can judge a book by its cover.
3. Scotty in Star Trek often says �Ye cannae change the laws of physics.� This is untrue. Eileen can change the laws of physics. With her fists.
4. Eileen keeps her ID on the bottom of her right foot. Nobody ever asks her for her ID.
5. Eileen doesn't have a bank account. She just tells the bank how much she needs.
6. If it looks like chicken, tastes like chicken, and feels like chicken but Eileen says its beef, then it's beef.
7. Eileen invented the question mark.
8. James Cameron wanted Eileen to play the Terminator. However, upon reflection, he realized that would have turned his movie into a documentary, so he went with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
9. Eileen doesn't go on the internet, she has every internet site stored in her memory. She refreshes webpages by blinking.
10. Do you know why Baskin Robbins only has 31 flavors? Because Eileen doesn't like Fudge Ripple.
No.2 works well with me, erm...most of the time. No. 5 is quite true, until quite recently where it's no longer valid. *wink* No. 6 you've gotta believe. Don't trick me, I can sniff the difference. ;P
And a random fact for this blog:
ShortSweetIndulgence doesn't read books. It stares them down until it gets the information it wants.
hmmm...

Chipmunk'ed Day
Entering this final sem greets me with challenges ahead, especially when it comes to my fyp, that's final year project. The fyp journey had been a bumpy one, to put it in this way. So as a student, i must rise up and pick up speed fast. Real fast. Fast and not haste. It's tough when you have to handle tough and fast at the same time. Multitasking between lectures, tests, assignments and project when the year 08 approaches.
What to do when there are holidays coming this week? Catch a movie with my roommate. Yep, it's gotta be the chipmunks movie. It's such a nice break to shift my attention to something funnier and cute. I chose to watch this movie since I was the chipmunk fan when I was little. Gee, Theodore's adorable and innocent.
After spending more than 8 hours walking, shopping, eating and talking we went home. The next few days will be notes analysing days for my fyp (uphill task) and then, it will be Christmas! I look forward to these 3 days.
