apple to bed ???

while i was thinking of how to do management individual assignment , i do recall some memories though it happened one year ago..

Back then, i was in my form 6 life at STK Kluang. We were having our our "Tekmenso" "Teknik Menjawab Soalan STPM" on April 07' .

Then me and my gang sat at the last row chit chatting. Then Rachel one of my besties suggested that we play game.. where it started from Apple ..

apple -> sweet -> candy -> colourful -> rainbow -> rain -> cold -> clothes -> ESPRIT -> expensive -> money -> shopping -> Singapore -> Orchard Road -> shopping mall -> girls ->
period -> pad -> Kotex -> Night safe -> Sleep -> bed ... and so on...

From this game we have used the word association technique.

my besties !! the girls ooishee, joyce, me, joey , rachel , daniel (left) kah arng(our senior)

jacky n lihuei our senior too..

my besties !! from left : me, joey, rachel, joyce, ooi shee

spite ! spite !! spite !!!

of course we don't do this when we go FIT . If not....

today while i was accompanying my boyfriend to see his advisor ...

me : hey .... look at the time is 2.53p.m alrd...and we're now at FCM only.... i thought u got an appoinment at 3 p.m ?

wen mau : ya... u asked the third time alrd... so what ?

me : hur ?? i thought u got to be punctual when u need to see your advisor don't you ??

wen mau : yeah ~~ but you know.. last week i waited for her about an hour outside her room..but no one replied me ! then i have to go back to hostel to e-mail her again .. U
know one la.... from FIT to guy hostel very far de leh ~ now only 2.50p.m won't late
de la .... even late for 1 minute also can't compare to how long i wait for her last week
lor....(ad populum appeal to spite)

from the conversation wen mau has used ad populum appeal to spite . He is not in rush to see his advisor because he thinks that even he's late for a minute can't compared to what he has waited for his advisor for an hour last week eventhough he has make the appoinment earlier.

La Tomatina, Bunyol, Valencia, Spain

Have you heard about the tomato festival ? ? As i browse the yahoo webpage today i saw this article about Tomatina :

La Tomatina festival in Spain gives new meaning to the expression 'playing with your food'. For most of the year Bunol is a ho-hum industrial town, 40km (25mi) from Valencia, quietly going about its own business. But come the last Wednesday of August, the town's streets turns into a salsa riot, with over 20,000 revellers pelting each other with large, red, squishy tomatoes.There are lots of theories on how the festival started; one is that it began in 1945 with anti-Franco protests, although any link between Franco and tomatoes remains ambigous. Another theory is that it started when two friends had a stand-up knock-down argument while sharing a meal. The argument quickly reached food-throwing proportions, infected acquaintances and nearby diners, moved out into the street, spread through the suburbs, progressed to neighbouring towns and eventually wound up as an annual event that attracted 'mata throwers from all corners of the the world.The most likely explanation is that it started as a juvenile class war between bare-footed Troskyist macarras and el-ivy leaguers staying at Papa's summer house, the latter passing the former in a provocative way - that is to say, within tomato-throwing range. Like gangs of adolescents anywhere, it soon became a point of honour and a mark of tribal loyalty to make a stand at the tomato-stained barriers. As the event turned into a national event it lost its hostile political edge and became, instead, an unbridled Dionysian riot of flesh-baring bodies covered head to toe in tomato goo.The standard uniform is an old T-shirt, old shorts and eye goggles. T-shirts with bullseyes printed on them are not recommended. Nearly 140 tons of tomatoes are trucked in from around the countryside and the argy-bargy begins with the firing of a rocket. An hour later the end of the festival is announced with the firing of another rocket and the clean up of the tomato-slimed streets begin. What is La Tomatina?The Tomatina is only one of the celebration of a week long festival with musical bands, fireworks, food, and over all fun. This is a war were there are expected to be no winners, but where all have fun.

From this article i've thought that if you're living in Spain the spanish will eventually invite us to the La Tomatina festival because they will think that if you're livinf in Spain so you must follows the tradition of Spain. Hence the ad populum Appeal to Tradition has occur.

simile and metaphor ~

Flint

An emerald is as green as grass,

A ruby red as blood;

A sapphire shines as blue as heaven;

A flintlies in the mud.

A diamond is a brilliant stone,

To catch the world's desire;

An opal holds a fiery spark;

But a flint holds a fire.

by Christina Rossetti 1830-1894

Incendiary

That one small boy with a face like pallid cheese

And burnt-out little eyes could make a blaze

As brazen, fierce and huge, as red and gold

And zany yellow as the one that spoiled

Three thousand guineas' worth of property

And crops at Godwin's Farm on Saturday

Is frightening---as fact and metaphor:

An ordinary match intended for

The lighting of a pipe or kitchen fire

Misused may set a whole menagerie

Of flame-fanged tigers roaring hungrily.

And frightening, too, that one small boy should set

The sky on fire and choke the stars to heat

Such skinny limbs and such a little heart

Which would have been content with one warm kiss

Had there been anyone to offer this.

by Vernon Scannell

From the poem Flint by Christina Rossetti the poet has used the simile concept where the usage of the word "as..as"

whereas from the Incendiary by Vernon Scannell the metaphor concept has been used. for example "That one small boy with a face like pallid cheese '' and "And burnt-out little eyes could make a blaze " etc..

from critical thinking simile is
•A simile is a special form of comparison – where you compare the current subject, object or action to some other idea that creates an image.
•It usually takes the form:
–“as ___ as ___”
–“like ___”
–“___ than ____”

while metaphors is
•A metaphor is a part of a sentence that creates a comparative image in your mind, without using comparative qualifiers.
