"My speech today will be about the environment.

Personally, I think that men in general have been mistreating the environment. It does not matter how, really, because in the end, all that we do will add up to be a consequence we wouldn't want to deal with. What irks me most though is the fact that we are all aware of what we are causing to the environment. Yet, instead of trying our very best to avoid causing further damage, we try our best to ignore this verity. We all complain about the loss of the quality of life through the damage of our environment, and yet each one of us, in our own little contented ways, contribute daily to that destruction.

Having affected the environment, on a larger picture, we have affected the Earth as well. As quoted from Chief Seattle's speech, Home, "Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the sons of the Earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves,". After reading that sentence, I found myself in a state of realizing that our ignorance has been a mockery to our Earth itself. A mockery to men, to us, to the world. I realized that even our littlest action can influence ruin. Another quote from his speech, "All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected."

So, I say, if all of us were to work together, put in a little more effort, and just care, every corner of Earth would be a beautiful place, a safe place. At the very least, we will know that we tried, that since Earth does not belong to man, we have been liable enough to deserve a place on Earth."

Hahahahaha lol. That was my speech for English lesson sometime last year. Full of enthusiasm and drama, eh? I remember how I was always very confident and happy during English in sec4. There was a certain emotion Mr Viknes made me feel everytime he walked in and taught us. No I am not a freak. He just made me feel at my best, and his jokes were always very sarcastic and somehow thwarted. Apparently, he was also, the only teacher I was afraid of disappointing. I did not even care or think about how Ms Loke/Mr Tan (my FTs) would feel if I did badly. Huahua! Sadly I'll never find that kind of classroom comfort now that I'm in MDIS. The lecturer wouldn't give two wits even if you were choking and gasping for air during his lecture. Gah.

It's a cruel world, period.

Ok that spelt colourful more than cruel. Anyways, I don't know if you guys watched the Closing Ceremony for Olympics '08. Even if you didn't, I assure you - you did not miss anything big. Unless you consider fireworks a once-in-a-lifetime issue, of course. Seriously, I expected a lot more. Kudos to the people dancing and beating the hell out of the drums though. I just did not understand what Leona Lewis was doing up there. And, Beckham. What the heck dude? Go back to your wife lah brudder. I'm not being prejudiced or anything like that (though I'm sure half of you twits out there will think I am) but they should have.... you know what they should have done?

They should have put Shah Rukh Khan up there, with him singing Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. *dance dance shake shake*

HAHAHAHA I LOVE YOU BANANAS ♥♥♥
