(NOTE: this is only a segment so maybe I'll record the whole thing once again on my own)
There is another video but I decided not to upload it since
1) repetitive lyrics
2) there are disses by some kids that are way too random

This is a song I wrote a while back...(Gr.8/Gr.9 ish...)I had left it the there until this year, when I finally decided to do some editing and make it complete. Enjoy! (NOTE: was actually impressed with my vocals this time ; btw ignore my rapid movements i was too into the song LOL)

Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as business executives. Now a rigorous mathematical proof that explains why this is true:

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.

As every engineer knows,

Work
---------- = Power
Time

Since Knowledge = Power, and Time =Money, we have

Work
--------- = Knowledge
Money

Solving for Money, we get:

Work
----------- = Money
Knowledge

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity regardless of the Work done.
Conclusion: The Less you Know, the more money you Make.
 

Alright...

  I am so pissed right now that I want to roar my head off (at myself). I never knew how literal the phrase "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!" actually is.
.
.
.
I am at the edge and if I mess up another test/other stuff, I AM GOING TO FAIL. I mean LITERALLY.
Even one of my teachers was like: I didn't expect you to get that mark. Tu vas faire mieux...
.
.
.
I am now imagining how my parents would react if they see my report card next week...
 

Alright, kind of lame, but I need to express how I feel after finishing 2nd place in my event (Hotel and Lodging Management) for DECA...

1.  GREAT...
Explanation: Yeah of course I do!

2.  SURPRISING...
Explanation: a) My first year in DECA b) Did not hear my name in top ten for oral/writing then suddenly, my name was called for second place (the other medalists were also surprised since they also did not hear their names...)
c) Kind of doubting if I really did win...LOL but I did...they did say Peiwen Chen from Victoria Park...

3. "IN YOUR FACE!!!"
Explanation: a) My parents were not supportive of me doing DECA in the beginning (especially my dad said that I shouldn't do business and my mom was like 'You're not good at Math!!' Lol...) not even mentioning winning something


Anyways, DECA was actual pretty fun and all you need at this point of time is 1) The clothes 2) Some 'BSing' skills

Songs I selected for this part of the Oral Portfolio:
MC Solaar
1. Les colonies

2. L'aigle ne chasse pas les mouches

 

3. Dégâts collatéraux 

 

Lyrics
 

happy canada day & my early b-day!!!
I always celebrate my b-day early XD

Headed down to Stratford today for an awesome production of Julius Caesar from the annual Shakespeare Festival, unexpectedly 'cause: a) I abandoned the idea long time ago
                                                       b) my parents are rarely into this kind of stuff, and does not know that I am a drama person ( in fact, i turned to one not long ago)
                                                       c) it is very very far
                                                       d) I recommended it as a sidenote yesterday, and my dad was angry at me   this morning for leaving the recommendation to the last minute
                                                       e)...let's just say that road trips during this time are rare in my family

It was awkward when I mentioned the place yesterday, and my mom later would be like:"Let's go tomorrow!!!"
---------
So for those who are patient & banal enough, here is the follow-up to this GREAT day..GO FIGURE
 

Your Result: Humanities

Whether it be philosophy, English, psychology or history that interests you, you are going to college to learn about the world around you and how people think. Though you may not be completely sure what career you want after school, what is important to you now is expanding your knowledge. You are creative and curious and want to take the classes that interest you most. You don't mind writing, and you're slightly obsessed with punctuation and grammar. You enjoy reading, and long hours in the library doing research sound appealing to you, and you hope to study abroad in Europe soon.

EVERYTHING was what I've been wanting for years, except the fact that college should be replaced by "UNIVERSITY" !!!! (In fact, I was literally screaming in my head in the Europe part...) Yes, I know, I have a crazy dream to fulfill but this just makes me want it even more. I am beginning to think that perhaps my mom is right, I should screw all the law stuff and be an official before an ambassador. =D Well, let's see in Gr. 11.

Also, my parents agreed to drive me to Birkdale for the Rotary Interact Open House! (a special thanks to patapoufe 's latest entry lol) I wish to atleast get something out of my head for God's sake. =D

I survived my commentary. - What I used to say     VS.        I ROCKED IT!!! - The mood I am in right now
    OMG This is absolutely funny for I had one hour of sleep, and went through in hurriedly before that, and even earlier , 30 minutes of panic....
    I was shaking like a leaf during the other presentations ( I would go last...since I'm doing Chapter 6) so I did the inhale-hold-exhale routine for a long time.....Good thing, the hyperness in me is strong...LOL
   Then by the time I walked to the front, the tension is me was....gone. Everything went naturally, and that just made my day----> the excitement of finishing, everything....

 

Il est mon âme et ma cœur. Il est ma raison d'être....
 

       C'est dans un édifice situé au monde miséreux, au-dessus d'une période ambigue, que se déroule l'action de Delicatessen. On y retrouve un groupe de locatoires – les carnivores habitent à l'endroit où touts les animals sont mis en danger. Ils s'échappent à la famine au grâce de leur proprietaire, un boucher étrange qui vend la chair humain.

       Histoire bizarre, direz-vous? C'est là le secret du succès de Delicatessen, une comédie noir qui est aussi une collaboration entre Marc Caro et Jean-Pierre Jeunet en 1991. Avec leurs méninges créatives, les realisateurs et scenaristes français ont raconté la fin de monde : le désespoir, la misère, la corruption et le plus important – les péchés comme la meurtre, le suicide, l'avidité et le cannibalisme, mais tous contre un peu d’amour.

       Au début de film, un homme qui est la cible de boucher échoue de s'échapper par cacher dans un poubelle. Peu de temps après cet incident, c'est clair que le boucher, Clapet (Jean-Claude Dreyfus) attire son cible par ses advertissements de travails en <<Les temps durs>>, et Louison (Dominique Pinon) , un clown d'un cirque fameux devient son nouveau cible. L'intrigue continue avec la rencontre de Louison et Julie Clapet (Marie-Laure Dougnac) , la fille myope de boucher, déclaration de leur amour a leur-mêmes, efforts de Julie pour sauver Louison par le raconte la vérité, boucherie d'une vielle dame par le boucher parce que il veux utiliser Louison pour les pétits travails, découverte de l’amour par le boucher, chasse a l'homme, mort de Clapet par ton objective de tuer Louison et une fin heureuse.

       Les personages dans ce film sont simple, mais bien construite. Les deux héros, Louison et Julie Clapet est les jeunes amoureux typique, mais rares contre un monde de péchés. Louison, un clown que le boucher veux manger symbolise l'humour, la simplicité et l'innocence. Il est toujours curieux et adore les compagnons. Julie Clapet ressemble à <<Juliet Capulet>> littérairement et actuellement. Elle presente la confiance et la courage. Porter des grand lunettes au commencement du film, elle est myope physiquement et mentalement, sans courage et tombé dans l'amour facilement. Mais, pendant que l’histoire developpe, elle commence de porter des lentilles de contact, symboliser que elle ne plus pas myope mentalement parce qu'elle se rend compte de que son amoureux est en danger. Clapet le boucher est l'antagoniste dans cet histoire. Il est impitoyable, fier, et impoli mais en même temps, dans les oeils de ses locatoires, il est le <<deus ex machina>> parce qu'il les aide de s'échapper à la famine. Il est aussi humain, un père qui aime sa fille mais déteste Louison pour la voler. Il y aussi les personnages secondaires, notamment Aurore Interligator, une femme qui essaye de tuer lui-même pour s’ échapper à l'obscurité du monde par les méthodes stupides, deux enfants silencieux qui répresentent l'espoir et Les Troglodistes, un gang composé de rebelles végétariennes qui savent les protagonistes.

       Pour établir un bon étage de film, beaucoup de renseignements au sujet de la séléction des couleurs et scènes ont ajouté. Noir et jaune ont devenu les couleurs principales pour illustrer la corruption et la désespoir. En fin heureuse, on peut finalement voir le ciel bleu. Il y a aussi les scènes comiques, contraster avec le thème obscur comme quand les bruits différents créer une rhapsodie impressionnante. Également, Caro et Jeunet ont répété la scène fameuse de film: quand Louison et Julie jouent des instruments musicales ensemble, illustrer que l'histoire a fini en cercle complet.

Yes, this is the first big movie of Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the director of <<The City of Lost Children>>, <<Amelie>> and many more.... Love his collaboration and Marc Caro...

My comments for the review:
1. Able to tell straight from the text that this is written by one of Vretanos' students. *hint* *hint* *nudge* *nudge* *wink* *wink* pay attention to the stealing of expressions + the SYMBOLS!! (name analysis....tsk tsk....use of scene...) specifically in the last 2 paragraphs
2. Able to tell that the writer is a good English student + a proud Shakespeare (RIIIx99999 WTF?!!) fan: "l'histoire a fini en cercle complet." <---come on, just LOOK AT THAT
3. Able to tell that the writer is a French lover, but still a noob. =D

Adieu,
