my future
:
"I ain't happy,I'm feelin' glad
I've got sunshine,in a bag
I'm useless,but not for long
The future is coming on,
is coming on
is coming on.
My future,is coming on
is coming on
is coming on."
- The final stanza (abridged) of Clint Eastwood,a song from the Gorillaz (first phase)
That's how I feel now.
Beside the Ronin concert,which I'm in not much mood to write (Vivi,how could you!),and English oral today,which was ok (that rhymed!),I've come to the topic of my FUTURE.
Wow.Big word.
I've been hiding from it for a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time.
And I know this because I don't even know what junior college I want to go to yet.
REALLY!
That aside,I know I want to enter theatre,(Broadway now seems so far away since I'm seriously talking about my future,oh no...)but I've got to find a place to study it.
Dunno yet,but it can't be Kyung Hee.
RADA perhaps?
That's in London,where everything's really expensive.
NIDA,in Australia?
Maybe.
Sorry Naomi,but you'll be alone for a while.But hey,that's what MSN is for,isn't it?
THEATRE ROCKS!
but of course!
I'm planning my module now!
Taking the University Of Plattsburgh's module as an example,there is a compulsory theatre core module,which will give me 13 credits.This core involves stagecraft,an introduction to acting,playwriting,three practicums(is that grammatically sound?),and a junior seminar.
(running total=13 cr.)
After that there are electives in performance.I have to choose two from creative drama,voice acting,movement study,story dramatisation,scene study,dance and creative process,acting technique and styles of acting.I think it'll be acting technique and creative drama (voice acting being the next best sub).
(running total=13+3+3 cr.)
then electives in production.i've to choose two from production design,visual styles in theatre,and one more which i'd never take and hence wouldn't need to type.
(running total=19+3+4 cr.)
then the electives in dramatic literature/history.two have to be chosen from the intro to theatre art,american drama,theatre history,performance and spectator,modern drama from 1880-1925 and world drama from 1925.i'll probably take theatre history (gasp!history!) and performance and spectator,the next best sub being introduction to theatre art.
(running total=26+4+3 cr.)
after that is the capstone requirement,where there is a compulsory senior project,which awards 3 credits.
(running total=33+3 cr.)
this will leave me with 36 credits,not counting the electives in theatre after that,which one needs to do to come to a total of 42.
both will be taken from the electives in theatre performance,namely acting with the voice and styles of acting.(DIE HISTORY DIE!)
a theatre degree will get me a job in acting,or theatre,or production,and stuff like that.
Or I could be a teacher.(Like Mr Sng. :$)
Nah,not an option.(I wouldn't teach for T.T. Durai's salary.)
I'll go into Singaporean theatre.There's lots to be done there.
I do hope I can get in.
(Inner Vivi:Don't hope,DO IT!YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!)

love?
:
DAMN YOU RUBY!
ARGH.
I'm in no mood to blog about the eldds session yesterday.i did that with the eldds blog.
back to the story.
DAMN YOU RUBY YOU EVIL PERSON!
ce period.
she kept saying things about mr sng,after i brought up the wanang relationship.
and she kept going,till it came to a point (which was quite fast) where i started feeling for the topic.
and i found myself going from pink,which is hard for me to feel,and the back of my head went pink too,and the people at the other table turned round and said,"i bet you're talking about mr sng.",and then it started feeling somewhat warm in my own skin,then warmer,then i began to feel like i had a fever,and then...you get the idea.
mr ang came round,and she continued,and i produced a strangled proclamation that ruby sucked.
she made me stare in her face and say(in parts),"I,Faith Sim,do not love Mr Joshua Sng,my ELDDS teacher..." and after that I found that keeping my teeth on my lower lip would not stop me from feeling the way i did,and i broke down and laughed.a lot.
and she went on.
"You're in debate or drama?"I said drama.
"He's taking debate right?Sad..."I said he took drama.
"No wonder!"X_x
OH DAMN YOU RUBY!
I politely (tried) to state that the lit students knew this was normal.
she asked if i actually secretly attended his lit classes and i was like NO!
whatever.
saved by the bell.
i am this pissed *stretches out arms*.

:
Ohhhh...
I wish you could meet my girlfriend,
my girlfriend who lives in Canada.
She couldn't be sweeter
I wish you could meet her,
My girlfriend who lives in Canada!
Her name is Alberta
She lives in Vancouver
She cooks like my mother
And sucks like a Hoover.
(small laughter)
I e-mail her every single dayyy
Just to make sure that everything's okayyyy.
It's a pity she lives so far awayyy,
in Canada!
Laaaaaaaaaast
week she was here, but she had the flu.
Too baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
'Cause I wanted to in-troduce her to you
It's so saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
There wasn't a thing that she could do
But stay in bedddddddddddd
with her legs up over her head!Oh!
I wish you could meet my girlfriend,
But you can't because she is in Canada.
I love her, I miss her, I can't wait to kiss her,
So soon I'll be off to Albertaaaaa!
I mean Vancouverrrrrrrrr!
5h!+!
Her name is Alberta, she lives in Vancouver
She's my girlfriennnnnnnnnd!
My wonderful girlfriennnnnnnnnnnnnnd!
Yes I have a girlfriend, who lives in Canadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
(And I can't wait to *** *** ***** again!)
That was random.
Today was whipped massive.
i have a feeling of imminent doom with mdm er.
Quite a mound of homework building up,
and then...
today were the auditions.
We took so long to get our butts in there (with or without ST)(or was it part of the plan),that Mr Sng told us to only do one scene,and so Scene 3 was chosen.
Which didn't involve me.
ah heck.
From what I heard it was seriously crudded up (yes,i didn't watch either,i was busying myself trying to find the ST) and that we have a 0% chance of being shortlisted.
Mr Sng looked oh-so-bored.Bad sign.
My experiment in science went well though.
I took three magnesium ribbons.Maybe that's why when I mixed it with hydrochloric acid it gave out lots of hydrogen.Seriously.Ms Thang said to put the splinter in when you felt a little bit of pressure,but I felt so much pressure I thought my hand was going to be sucked in.(Yes I now agree that it's an irrational thought.The test tube neck is only as big as my finger after all.)
The first time I put the burning splint in,it went pop but didn't extinguish.The next round,I put the burning splint in,which extinguished quietly.Oh well...
It was HOT.Seriously.If I went and became Gollum I'd have said,"It burnsssssssss us!"
end of school.
end of inspiration of stuff to write.

pie
:
Serve and Over The Wall were good.
May be going for ELDDS chalet ^^.
May be going to watch forbidden city :P.
Celebrating over how Science and History are OVER.
Wrote transgressive poetry.
Will now continue with crap of the day and stuff.
Had breakfast at The Cafe Cartel.
Somehow everytime I go there to eat I can't bring myself to finish.
Have decided I like 1984 and Serial Experiments Lain.
Disturbing stuff,those two are.
Lain has her annoying pylon noise and 1984 has its Ministries.
Anyhows.
Had to fetch bro to tuition.
Got an A-Cash card.
Finally.
Walking home,I sang to myself.As usual.
Trouble was that there were people walking around,and it's not too pretty looking at their reactions to It Sucks To Be Me,with all the voices done by one person.
I passed the house of an affluent neighbour I had yet to talk to while I was singing Christmas Eve's part of the song.
She was hanging up Happy Birthday banners and balloons,ostensibly for her young son,whom I caught glimpses of every now and then.
She stared at me when she heard the "I am Japanese" part.I looked away,and soon found myself skipping along to the song.
It isn't particularly visually appealing to look at a fourteen year old skip,even less so when the fourteen year old in question is 1.7 metres tall.
Happy ex-Pi day.(22/7 was Pi day.)

decomposition
:
It pains me to see how Kids Central has decomposed.
I'm not using that word wrongly.
In chemistry it refers to the breaking down of a large molecule into smaller molecules or atoms and is referred to as chemical decomposition.
Well...maybe I am then. -.-
Kids Central is dead.Believe it.
I remember when I was the age for watching KC.
I'd switch on the teavee,and watch stuff about stories from the other side of the world and beyond.
I'd know how the Africans think,or how Native Americans worked,and things like that.
Or it'd be some stop-motion show about a Doctor Otter going about his neighbourhood to help his people.
Or the extremely unappreciated (by people i've asked) between-show filler where there'd be this woman singing italian opera and fruits/vegetables cutting themselves up and putting themselves into animal shapes.That was kinda cute.
Then there was the downright irritating Mamemo.That genderless person with blonde curly long hair and a red jumpsuit.And his/her green cow transformable brother/sister and green cow parents.Living among SHEEP.Who don't discriminate against them.How nice.
According to their website,they were supposed to show the world through the eyes of a child.
Not happening.
But it was still good if you compare it to The Now.
Take the weekend shows.
Aren't weekend shows supposed to be the best shows of the week?
Far from it.
The following is taken from the KC telly guide for the week.And other sources.
8:00 AM
Henry's World II - Henry's Little Adventure / Henry The Cook
Join Henry and his friends on their carrot-fuelled adventures in the first stop-motion animated series ever entirely produced in Canada.
Henry's World is the extraordinary story of Henry Wiggins, an eight-year-old boy who has amazing powers whenever he eats his mother's mushy carrots. Carrots are Henry's genie in a bottle. Once eaten, he can do incredible and outlandish things that most of us can only dream about, like hurtling to Pluto or tunnelling through the earth.
But Henry's powers are a recipe for adventure… and disaster. Because he doesn't fully understand his gift and can't always control it, his unusual wishes are often granted with unexpected consequences.
Henry's powers remain a secret to all but his best friends – Fraidy Begonia, his pet dog Margaret and Doris the Dinosaur – who often fall victim to his misadventures. Everyone else in Henry's hometown remains blissfully unaware of Henry's powers, which are turning their world topsy-turvy.
8:30 AM
Clifford - Great Race / Tummy Trouble
Designed for children ages 3-7, the animated television series is based on the books of the same name and uses classic storytelling to present universal social, emotional, and moral messages to young children. These fun-filled episodes follow Clifford and his pals (both canine and human) as they play, discover and interact with each other and the inhabitants of Birdwell Island, learning that good friends are what life is all about. The stories are fun, gentle and kid-relatable — they deal with issues that kids are experiencing: whether it's bragging, not wanting to share or learning that telling the truth is the best policy. More importantly, though, they learn that the world is out there to be discovered with gusto.
(okay...it's still early...this is understandable...)
9:00 AM:KCDC TIME!!!During this time the primary school kids roll their butts out of bed and start applying superglue on their eyes.
(They don't phrase it that way...)
(No prizes for guessing why the KCDC hosts have to say "Thank you SO MUCH for joining us today!")
9:00 AM
Hi-5 Sr 7 - City / Country (Animals)
Hi-5 is an Australian children's television program first shown on the Nine Network in 1999 and now shown in 59 countries.

Five, a UK broadcast network, simply rebroadcasts the Australian version. The Australian Hi-5 has produced a number of CDs, at least five of which have gone platinum in Australia and a range of videos as well as games and puzzles. Hi-5 has won ARIA awards for "Best Children's Album" in 2000, 2001 and 2004 and won three consecutive Australian Logie awards in 2002, 2003 and 2004 for "Most Outstanding Children's Preschool Program". The American version was nominated for a Daytime Emmy in 2005 and 2006.

The Winx Club is aided in their battle with Lord Darkar and the witches by the super hunky heroes of Red Fountain. Tremendously brave heroes in training, Prince Sky, Brandon, Riven, Timmy, and Helia, help the Winx Club with their skills as trained fighters and their expertise at tactics. Even without magical powers, the heroes are always there to help with Winx Club win!
(I like Winx Club,quite frankly speaking,but it's HELLA VAIN!)
10:00 AM

Set in the Utopia of Shuggazoom as a cosmic changeover looms, the villainous Skeleton King is plotting to turn this futuristic planet into his evil empire.

Now, the five Super Robot Monkeys help Chiro hone his new powers as he evolves into the Chosen Protector of the Universe!
(I nearly died looking at the name of this show.Sounds really really really lame.At least they could have the heart to choose a shorter name.)
10:30 AM
Adventures Of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius
"Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius" tells the inter-stellar saga of a super-intelligent pre-teen boy inventor and his robot dog, Goddard. Together they undertake a daring rescue mission, battle evil aliens, save the Earth, and, perhaps most importantly, return home in time for dinner.
(Falling asleep yet?I used to think I'd grow into these shows,but it seems I've long grown out of them.)

Pokemon Sr 8
(No explanation needed.Arguably one of the best shows in the entire broadcast.)
11:30 AM
Masked Rider 555
An organisation known as Smart Brain is trying to take over the world using a force known as Orphenochs. Orphenochs are beings that evolved from humans when they die or are killed by Orphenochs.Not all humans evolve into Orphenochs and those that don't will wither away into ashes. Smart Brain however knows that this evolution process is flawed due to a genetic defect and that only with the help of the Orphenoch King would they be able to substain their Orphenoch forms.The Orphenoch King's whereabouts are unknown and in order for the King to mature, he must absorb a large number of Orphenochs and at his sub-concious stage, he would be weak and unable to defend himself against attackers. Thus 3 belts were engineered for Orphenochs to protect their king.However, once the Orphenoch King awakens that would be the end of humanity as we speak. The once President of Smart Brain ( who is the Goat Orphenoch ) did not want this to happen and sent out these 3 belts to his foster children so as to combat this menance to humanity.But little did they know that they have been protecting the Orphenoch King all along....
(555?Isn't that the number for notebooks?Ah well...First Masked Rider Ryuuki,and now this.)

Justirisers - Glen Sword
(No info found on this show.And I thought "Kids Central features local as well as internationally acclaimed children's programmes 47.5 hours on weekdays and 13 hours on weekends."If the shows are so "internationally acclaimed" then why can't any info be found on them?!)
12:30 PM

1:30 PM

(For DC fans.Period.)
- end transmission -
Understand now?Kids Central is now worse for wear.It used to be mainly for primary school children,but it seems more inclined towards those in the transitional age between preschool and primary school now than before.
I pity the younger generation.Academically smarter,but a more bored bunch.
It's a bit freaky being born in the dead center of the iGeneration.

i walk alone
:
eldds party on tuesday was WILD!!!!!
we had lots of food :P
and that included CAKE!!!
chocolate cake with lots and lots of cream!
i didn't have any.for some reason.
enter mr sng ^^.
we served him cake in our war-torn land.
what war-torn land,i hear you ask.
well...
considering that everyone was throwing cake at each other,and there were people posing for/hiding from cameras,i guess the land was war-torn enough for the whole of eldds.
soon or late it had to come.people who attacked mr sng.
they tried to throw cake at him.
he said in that delightfully deep voice normally associated with him,"Save it for the sec 4s."
he then said,"when i leave cedar i'll let you throw cake at me."or something to that effect.
which didn't happen.
they got his hand.
cream-filled hands aren't very visually appealing.
they nearly got his sleeve,which would have been really bad for him.
he wears clothes which are hard to clean.
i'll come back as many times as i can.
when he leaves cedar i'll leave him with a brown print of a hand on his back.
productions by lower sec!
ok lah...
graduation speeches!
congrats ms debaters!
congrats joyce aka ms congeniality!
and liyana aka ms japan!
and lucie aka ms czech republic!
and sneha shankar aka ms bubbly!
and reka and lilin and yingxuan and nisha aka ms vice president,ms president,ms secretary and ms treasurer!
and the new exco!
and gomenasai to arty for not winning!
i voted for you ^^!!!
stayed till half past six talking to liyana and joyce
kept visualising hokage funeral scenes.
i miss you all -.-
wednesday.
worked on presentation for ipw.
fiona asked me about mr sng.
i went pink.
according to them.
how couldn't i?
i mean...
ah never mind.
i'll let you have a nice hearty laugh out of it.
frankly i don't know why i go on thinking about him.
he's about double my age and then some!
then again,in revenge i asked my friends if any of them could confess to NOT having a crush on mr sng if at all.
two out of five.
one of the people who didn't raise their hands called one of the people who did a liar.
i'll never walk alone,will i?
dental appointment after that.
darn it hurt.
still does.
keh.
thursday.
stared at the moon (which was still up) while the noticeboard competition winners were announced.
didn't bother 'cos we wouldn't win anyway.
xiao jun poked me and i swore at her under my breath,though it was loud enough for people around us to hear.
contact time.
mdm er told us we got the last position among the classes in noticeboard design.
so what?
not like we're all from art elective or stuff.
besides,SOMEONE had to get the last.
but mdm er sent someone to go check on 2p (winning class)
*sigh*...the lives of people hellbent on winning.
english.
argumentative.
Being beautiful gives one an advantage.Do you agree?
(immediate response:HELL NO ARE YOU KIDDING?!)
(argumentative notes:do not be too emotional in the essay.)
(second response:remember your antithesis and how she succeeded.)
(response to second response:who got into anglican?how is that considered succeeding in life?)
i started by disagreeing,for i didn't see the wrong.
i said that bill gates,gandhi (not you,neha) and lee kuan yew were all not as beautiful as leonardo dicaprio (of "The You Jump,I Jump Show" fame),but they all led more complete lives.
then i said beauty gave a person unwanted attention.and added a story ^^.
once upon a time my aunt went to geylang.she was kinda pretty.a dirty old man came up to her and asked her what her fees were.
good example,no?
next reason.
beauty gives one a higher chance of being raped.which is the reason why girls are discouraged from clubbing.i then moved on to describe one of the overused scenes of tv serials.
sexy girl walks into bar.boys stare at girl.boys offer girl drinks.girl gets drunk.guy takes girl to hotel.guy has --------- -------- --- (IVS) with girl.
i love my examples.
then i moved on to explain that beauty was not as important as kindness.less people will remember katharine hepburn (who's katharine hepburn,you all ask.)(search wikipedia!) than mother theresa.
and the number of people asking who katharine hepburn is will remain evidence that mother theresa,as well as other kind people,will always be more famous.
i went on to say that beautiful people were sometimes stupid.
ms chile,i think,once had a person who,when asked which part of the world she wanted to visit,said rome,because that was where jesus christ was born.
stupid enough for you?
beauty can win pageants,went one of the arguments,but i rebutted by saying that it wouldn't last forever,unlike knowledge.and stuff like that.
i concluded by asking which,among beauty,intelligence and kindness,could be done without.(obviously the answer i wanted was beauty,but we'd probably all die of visual hell if that were completely true lol.)
pe.
*swears under breath*
5 rounds round track.
that guy was creepy.
i did what i do to all the creepy teachers.
sass them.
he asked why last week we were so good,but so rowdy now.
my reply,"Because we've got to run?"
he asked my name.
i told him,with one of those smiles i give when i accomplish something that previously gave me a lot of pain.
he said,"Pleased to meet you."
and i said,"Pleased to meet you too."
the rest of pe wasnt worth mentioning.
reading.
got hacked by mdm er.
told her i was afraid of getting my stuff wrong.
she replied by saying no one was perfect,and asked if i could name a perfect person.
i had someone in mind,but the model response was that there was no perfect person on earth,so i went with it.
joy.
guess i'll have to work it a bit more then.
science.
(i shall have to remember to bring my research papers.)
the smell was horrid.
and so was the state of the chicken stock + water + preservative mixture.
it had stuff growing in it.
i had to throw away the cling wrap.
the rest of the lesson not worth mentioning either.
math.
free period.
gail said i became more quiet after mdm er talked to me.
(quite frankly there was nothing much to talk about,that's why i didn't say anything.)
time went very quickly.
end of school.
blah.

yesterday!
:
the official script will produce sweatdrops on your head and ten thousand crows over it.it sort of did for me.(our script involves POPEYE!THE GUY WITH TUMOURS IN HIS ARMS AND A STUTTERY VOICE AND ONE EYE BLIND!)(and olive!gasp!no prizes for guessing who gets it.)
anyway.
friday,we were released at TWELVE!!!
then i went for an emergency eldds meeting.
turned out that balveen...well...something happened to her.
anyway,after that i got my hair layered!
YES,layered!
now it's sort of like orochimaru's hair.
BUT IT NEEDS TO GET LONGER!
whoever heard of hair getting longer after two days?!
oh well.
one and a half days left at time of writing to finish this off.
or to not go at all.
i have a bargain with mum.
if i can finish my work before the thing,i can go.
but note i have to do this fast.
time is very short,and orochimaru's outer layer of clothes is not yet complete.
HOW THE HELL DO THEY DO THE PURPLE BELT THING?!
my oro-sama won't have earrings.
i don't do pierces.
(though if i did have a bit more time i could insert magnets and use them as earrings.)
(that's how i go round with them,if at all)
SUPERMAN!!!!
coincidentally wore my black superman shirt.
(wore all black.except my slippers.same old,same old.)
invited dione.
who unfortunately was not informed it would be a formal function.
she was scared at first XD.
she asked why my dad got invited to private functions.
i told her,when you're in a non-government organisation for helping singapore,you get invited to lots of stuff like this.
well it's true!
we had too much punch.
it rocks anyhow.
dione liked the sauteed potatoes.
i had no special preference.
in the middle of her potatoes
and my punch and brownie (i didn't even touch it yet)
dad came and told us we had to go to the theatre.
couldnt finish waah.
oh well we went in.
me and dione were freaked for the first part.
the omni theatre takes quite a bit of getting used to.
the sound was good.
it was nice,but it hurts to look up.
so i moved round a bit.
but halfway through the thing,my bladder began a protest.
and i started counting towards the end of the show.
and everytime i said,"yes it should end around now"
superman would carry out something emotional and dash my hopes T_T
so you can imagine what happened when the show ended.
i ran to the toilet.
RAN!
thank goodness the toilet had toilet paper.
when i finally appeased my bladder (because too much fruit punch before superman is bad for you) i came out and saw dione coming towards the toilet.
she told me to go join track and field.
i told her the track and field teacher had asked me many times to do so when i ran in front of 2c,and everytime i refused.
we all got goodie bags ^^.
everyone had the same stuff.
so dad looked in his and found a little black box with a superman logo on it.
he opened it and found...
A KEYCHAIN!
(this is so like the anticlimax scene in cknd when numbuh 86 said,"the first one to send the code in will get...A KEYCHAIN!")
anyway.
not just ANY keychain.
me and dione had one each too.
i told her to open the box and look inside.
she did.
then i led her to the gift shop showcase.
and she couldn't stop staring.
the keychain costs...
go and see yourself.
then dione left us,and we went home.
OH LORD THE SHOW ROCKS!
but i'm better off doing my stuff for now.
so many things to do,so little time.

FEAR OUR SCRIPT
:
SCRIPT IS DONE!!!
thank you mr sng for letting us have one extra day ^^!!!
i haven't seen the official script yet,but heck,i'm not the scriptwriter-in-charge.
It borrows elements from a script that was purely done by me after this started.this script is very wizard-of-oz-like,and will take up the next lot of blogspace here.
after the birdie calls peter pan a loser,he starts wondering if he will be able to fly again.he says that this question is making him lose his mind,and he starts musing,"If Only I Had A Brain."
the seven dwarves soon appear,and they sing,"hi-ho,hi-ho,we have no place to go..."
it turns out that hermione granger's (known to them as the witch Harmonica) cat crapped on their roof,causing the house to become too smelly to live in.they muse,"If Only We Could Go Home."which gets Peter Pan's attention and causes him to go with them to find the Wizard Of Oz,I mean Hogwarts.Along the way they meet Charlie (of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory fame) who has no courage to face the media,and muses,"If Only I Had Courage."Of course,he joins the team,and they move on.
The final addition to the team is Mister Richard Gere,who is first seen asking around for people whose brothers are going on journeys.(See Visa ad for more information.)He wishes to buy them ten thousand birds.(though he can't do that,as you will see later.)He says he has not the heart to do any other form of kindness.He joins Peter's team after musing,"If Only I Had A Heart."
They end up in front of Hogwarts.Harry comes out and says,"Hi,I'm Harry Potter and I love magic."The team mobs them with their wants,and he yells,"SHUT UP WILL YOU ALL SHUT UP!One at a time."He,after hearing their stories,concludes that he cannot do their bidding,to which the team complains about something relating to cheating their feelings.He,however,takes them to see "someone who can help".
Along the way again,HERMIONE ATTACKS.She calls Peter's team a "motley crew",to which the dwarves respond that they can't sing very well.(This should only be understood by the 30-something people.Motley Crue is a band from the 1980s.)Anyway,she asks them if they know who she is,and the dwarves respond by saying,"OH MY GOODNESS IT'S HARMONICA!"harry asks her if she made her cat crap on their house,then he calls it disgusting,then he calls her a disgrace to the house of gryffindor.hermione responds with "whatever.let's fight.",before doing a kungfu pose.
harry,seeing that she wears black,uses the patronus charm and drives her away.good thing too.
neo comes out complaining that he isn't getting a good sleep,before harry confronts him and asks for his help.
Neo opens their systems and a new kazaa window.he downloads Courage.exe,Heart.exe,and Flying.exe (turns out Peter does have a brain.),and deletes CatPoopOnRoof.exe.He barely starts on the Flying.exe download when Hook comes to fight them.Peter,still biding his time,has an idea,and gets Neo to download AnimalTalk.exe to his (Peter's) system.Meanwhile,he calls out Cyclops,who,try as he might,cannot damage Hook.(Hook downloaded OpticBlastShield.exe)Charlie tries to get the Oompa Loompas to irritate Hook to death,but they were working,oh well.
Mister Gere tries to release his birds to poop on Hook's head,but he'd maxed out his card a week ago.The dwarves charge into battle with their pickaxes,and are subsequently stunned by Hook.It seems that Hook is invincible,but Hook's file has been successfully accessed by Neo,who deletes all the special ability files he has,and soon after,Peter's files are downloaded,and Harry disarms Hook.Peter calls out the most fearsome crocodile in the water to end Hook's life.It turns out,however,that Schnappi is the most fearsome of the crocodiles (implying that there is only one crocodile in the river),and Neo tells Schnappi to push off.Neo deletes Breathing.exe on Hook's system - the main thing that keeps him alive.Hook dies,and everyone is happy.Everyone cheers.Except Neo.
Neo states that next time,everyone should not use "password" as their password 'cos it's really easy to guess,and that they should be like him and use something like "supercalifragilisticexpealidocious",to which one of the dwarves point out that he has just surrendered his password.The script concludes with Neo saying something along the lines of,"OH CRUD."
So I tell you all,FEAR OUR SCRIPT.Fear Peter Pan and the Seven Dwarves.

:
FEAR THE SCRIPTWRITERS OF 2C FOR WE SHALL PWN YOU.
We have something.
Best.Storyline.Ever.
RAWKZ!
We're doing a large clash of the characters we know and love,in Peter Pan and The Seven Dwarves!
Trouble is,it isn't finished.We have one more day,based on our lovely director x monitress going to ask for an extension.
Captain Hook,the narrator,has hacked into Peter Pan's system.He thought that Flying.rar was Breathing.rar,and hence,deleted Flying.exe instead.He reasons Flightless Peter Pan=Dead Peter Pan,and does his evil laugh thing.
Simultaneously occurring,Peter Pan suddenly loses his ability to fly,and falls to the floor.He asks a birdie to teach him to fly,but the birdie calls him loser and flies away.
IT NEEDS FINISHING!

In style of Naomi's post,I shall introduce myself.
Rather random post,I know.
So is your real name Vivi?
Heck no.If you look,there are times when this fox spirit shows her tail,er,real name.
Are you Japanese/Korean?
I wish.
Is your father/mother Japanese/Korean?
Chinese.Both of them.
Where's Singapore?
Anyone who asks this question needs an atlas.Anyway it's just above the Equator,in Asia and above Indonesia.
Are you really 14?
Not yet.Two more months...Though when I was 13 someone asked me how many O level points I got.
What's up with you and anime?
