I've found a friend who died for me

hellos, its been a while since i last post. agreed?
lols anyway no one comes around so nvm =D

anyway i here blogging is cos im sick...
got flu, fever, cough, dizziness, body aches and runny nose...

speaking of runny nose, lemme share with you a poem
Mr Yoong gave us about english...

title is THE IRONY

Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant;
No ham in the hamburger
and neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
And no one knows what is in a hot dog,
you can be pretty sure it isn't canine.
English muffins were not invented in England;
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted.
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly.
Boxing rings are square.
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads,
which are sweet, are meat.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth,
One goose, two geese,
So one moose, two meese?
Is cheese the plural of choose?
One mouse, two mice; one louse, two lice,
One house, two hice?
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth?
If the teacher taught, why didn't the preacher praught,
Or the grocer groce, or hammers ham?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables,
Guess what a humanitarian eat!?!?!?!?!??!
Why do people recite at a play,
Yet plat at a recital?
Park on driveways and drive on parkways?
Ship by truck, and send cargo by ship...?
Have feet that semll and noses that run?
How can the weather be as hot as hell on one day
and as cold as hell on another

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down,
And in which you fill in a form
by filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!
how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(which of course isn't a race at all)
That is why
You get in and out of a car, and on and off a bus.
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible.
And why is it that when i wind up my watch
it starts,
But when i wind up this poem,
It ends.

Nice poem eh?
haha looks like english also has its wonders, like maths =D
anyways, very sian now.
see ya soon =D
goodnights
