Yellow and Black Stripes


It presented the much required stress relief to me during the exams. Now I share it with the rest of the world. Watch, and feel in awe of

the master of self-defence,

the black belt of ridicule,

the Chuck Norris of India,

the Indian Tony Jaa,

the one and only: RANJINI KHANTH!



And part two:




L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see V is very, very extraordinary E is even more than anyone that you adore

L-O-V-E, by Mister Nat King Cole, everyone! *clapclapclapclapclapclap* Ah, the brilliance of the oldies. It's one helluva lot better than the Ashlee Simpson L-O-V-E(even if you do happen to hear me singing it in school, it doesn't mean it beats the oldies), and it should be recognized as so. Especially with the awesome trumpet solo in the middle, which was almost definitely done by a black guy. You see, white guys just don't have the soul to play the trumpet like that.

Anyways, today I was in Yellow Cab with Jeremy, Dylan, and Justin, enjoying our brilliant 18-inch pizza, when suddenly I heard another old favourite. Let's see how many of you know it. It goes:

I'm a-walking in the rain
tears are falling, and I feel the pain

wishing you were here by me

to end this misery

and I wonder
wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder why
wa-wa-wa-wa-why
she ran away
and I wonder where she will stay

my little runaway


The song is "Runaway" by Atticus. The other day, at Tzi's house, we were singing another pretty old one. Guess:

I wonder how
I wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree


Yeap, it's "Lemon Tree", as made famous by Fool's Garden. I think it isn't as old as the others, but still. And this one, which'll be the last one I mention here, you may have heard me or Alistair singing in class if you're in W or P.

When I was young Id listened to the radio,
waitin for my favorite songs.

When they played I'd sing along,

it made me smile.


Ta-da. It's Yesterday Once More, by The Carpenters. Alright. That's done, I guess. It's way too hot for me to comfortably continue sitting here and typing. Even with the air-con on. Which doesn't seem to be working.
