Twenty
So, in the spirit of Japan-ness,
I borrowed a Japanese grammer book.
I have been looking for it for some time now, you know.
But the second chapter is so complicated!
Needs time to digest.
.....
So, here I am, reading this email I just got that goes like this (I don't know if you guys have read it or not):
Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August.
>It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.
>
>This will cultimate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles
>of Earth.
>
>Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am . It will look like The
>Earth has 2 Moons. Don't Miss it.....
>
>The next time Mars may come this close only in 2287.
>
>NOTE: Share this with ur friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see
>it again
>The first thing I thought was : "How do THEY know the people we know won't be alive by the year 2287? Kalau ajal belom sampai macam mane?"
The second thing I thought of was: "Ni mesti bedek punye". I mean, I don't really believe everything that comes into the email. With no proof, I stand unconvinced. I'm a skeptic sometimes. I mean, the only chance I'll believe this is if Channel5 News reports on it or whatever. Then I'll believe. Because they can't be wrong, right?
Of course, not everything needs proof. But...
But....
Egh. I don't what 'but' lah. I'd blame my fasting and say I'm too tired to think, but the thing is I'm just having a writer's block. I'm plain stuck, is all. What else about seeing Mars and about emails that I can possible talk about??
So I should probably talk about something else.
I love reading. I believe I read well. Not as in pronounciation or anything. More like, you know, I read a lot.
And I love writing. I also (would like to) believe that I can write fairly well. Biase biase nye kind ah.
And I love drawing too. But drawing is the one thing I'm not entirely satisfied with.
Drawing a person (you know, like a cartoon) is not as easy as it looks. I think I do the shape of the face ok. And the hair I draw is ok, too.
But the eyes! And the nose! And the mouth! They're extremely difficult. I have yet to learn how to draw them properly. For now I just draw two black ovals for the eyes and lines for the mouth. Pathetic.
And the fingers! Allah made them a work of art. In fact, they're so beautiful and so delicate I can't seem to draw them right. What do I end up with? PPG kinda hands. They look like paws.
And don't even get me started on the legs!
And they way you position the 'people'!
