Task 2

(e) She sat heart-broken on her bed.

Time seemed to have stopped ever since he left her. Every chime the Grandfather Clock rang out was merely noise; dusk and dawn made no difference. She couldn't remember when she had last eaten, or even when she last took a bath. Such trival things didn't even matter anymore, not as much as him.

Nothing could ever mend the black hole he tore in her heart, the hole that filled her with emptiness and agony, nothing to quench the thirst of the monster inside her, whispering thoughts she never wanted to think.

Covering her face with a pillow, nobody could hear her screams of hurt. She was lost and confused at that moment. He was her everything, how could he vanish like that?

Tears flowed freely down her cheeks, dripping from the tip of her nose. She gazed around the room, remembering how things were during the past eight months, the happiest months she had. Polaroids and Neoprints they took together plastered the wall by the window, a carbon memory of the previous time spent. All the notes and letters he sent her were stored safely in the shoebox in her desk drawer, along with the knick knacks he sometimes surprised her with.

He used to tell her that that, together they were invincible, that they would face this world's troubles together.
Who was to stand by her now ?



(b) The room was badly decorated.

'Oh. My. God.'

I knew I should never have given my mother permission to decorate my room. Why didn't I trust my gut sense and not cave in to some sweet words and cakes ! (I highly suspect those cakes were laced with chemical 'agree-with-everything' though.)

You see, my mum always wanted a daughter that's just like her, Pink and Princessy, one who enjoys dressing up in horrible pink mother-daughter outfits and going for 'tea parties' with other mother-daughter duos, where they'll chatter over senseless women things.

Yes, disgusting is such an understatement. I know.

However I'm the complete opposite of my mum, like black and white.
I must be my mother's worse nightmare. Pink is non-existent in my world. Make that bolded, underlined and highlighted. All my 15years, my mother had been trying to girly-fy me.
Thank god all her schemes had been unsuccessful ! I would positively die inside if i had to wear floral printed pink frocks and prance around the garden with my basket singing with the birds,butterflies and woodland folk.

Anyway, as we were saying, my room.
It was a complete disaster, trés catastrophe.

The very first thing that hit me like a train full of bricks were the walls. They were, as you would have guessed, PINK. Horrendous baby pink to be exact, enclosing in on me. They were bare of the posters of my favourite bands, and instead replaced by posters of ponies.
yes PONIES !!! Sweet mother of pearl !

However, the worst was yet to come.

There was a fluffy pink wool rug next to the wardrobe which was, thankfully, wooden mahogany brown. Pink (again) fluffy slippers peeked out from under the bed.

Worse still, were the matching bed spread and curtains. White, lacy with pink flowered embroidery all over !!!!!11!!1!! Jeeezes, flower embroidery ? That was over the limit.

There's only so much I pink I can take, and its the size of a pink mentos. I must have had a seizure then and there (and fainted on the pink rug ), cause i cant remember what happened next. This is what too much pink can do to a person.

WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS MY MOTHER THINKING !

uhm yea, these past 2 weeks.

oh hai guise.

Yes I know I haven't been doing my English Homework, but see I was busy kicking the butts of evil martians from Neptune who wanted to turn this world into The Land Of Asteroids. ( something like our Sentosa, but only for martians. What a horrific thought !) This was an extremely important job that the Humanitarian Protection Against Martians entrusted to me and I had no other choice! It was either English homework or protect our beloved Mother Earth !

Of course, being selfless I chose the latter. You may now all thank me for being able to breathe and live, and maybe enact a statue in the park to thank me.

This is a valid reason for not doing my homework, right ? :/

**
yea well, of course none of the above happened. I was too much of a lazy bum to do homework and kept getting distracted by the Forum, MSN and Facebook.
Short attention span much !

Anyway, I'm going to do the Tasks now. Sorry for the delay and enjoy reading :)
