Teriyaki Millionaire? (A Random Post)

What do you think would happen if Slumdog Millionaire crossed teriyaki?

I'm not 16 yet; I don't have the right to watch the show. Neither have I read any summary of Slumdog Millionaire. But considering that Slumdog Millionaire won 8 awards at the Oscars, I decided I should make a random post about this great movie.

Teriyaki and Millionaire - do they mix?

Maybe, just maybe, if teriyaki mixed with Slumdog Millionaire, the movie would be about a teriyaki chicken seller in India who goes out of poverty after selling his homemade, trademark chicken, and finally becomes a world-renowned millionaire.

Maybe he would meet this girl that is a staff of Mos Burger in India, and they invent a very special burger - Indian Teriyaki Chicken Burger.

Maybe the Indian Teriyaki Chicken Burger becomes a favourite in India, and everybody loves the burger.

Maybe the teriyaki chicken seller and the girl become the Indian Teriyaki Kings, and they are hailed as Nobel Laureates.

...............................................................................................................................................

I think it is a great pity that I cannot watch Slumdog Millionaire. I have read from blogs all over the world that Slumdog Millionaire is a great, inspiring movie about poverty. If only I had been born earlier...

But seriously, if Finding Nemo was the hit for the kids, then Slumdog Millionaire would, definitely, be the blockbuster for the older generations. Considering the great amount of awards this movie has won, who will be able to prove this statement wrong?

DISCLAIMER:The above post is not meant to insult the directors of Slumdog Millionaire, the editors of Slumdog Millionaire, the artistes of Slumdog Millionaire, or the movie Slumdog Millionaire itself. The above post has been written to emphasize the greatness of this spectacular movie. If this movie had not been great, I, definitely, would not have written this post.

Collide - Howie Day

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

When I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide
Don't stop here
I've lost my place
I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide

You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide

I'll won't start with an intro.

I dislike introductions.

They don't really work.

So I'm gonna go straight to the point and start my blog. :)

Alright, so I joined NCC in school as my CCA, and for the first few trainings the officers cut us some slack. (I don't expect this to happen next training because you know what kind of reputation NCC has.)

On Saturday, NCC arranged a *free trip for all cadets to go to Singapore Flyer.

*2009 Singapore Flyer Promotion - Free tickets for first 2009 customers

I - in fact all of us - thought it would be very interesting. But the 30-minute ride was simply boring. It was just walking around in the capsule, looking at everything and taking photos.

I then realised that I looked really weird in my NCC uniform because it was oversized. And then I found out my toes were hurting. All that for getting into NCC.

And now I'm rushing for my English Compre Test and some Maths Test.

Life at RI is hard.
