An interview with Xin man

Now , I am going to record a interview between me, the journalist and Xin man, my primary school classmate. I am interviewing him through facebook.
Me: Have you read the stories" Lamb to the slaughter "and"The way up to heaven"?
Xin man: Yes. i found them quite interesting.
Me: So , in your own opinion, do you think Patrick , in Lamb to the slaughter, deserves to die?
Xin man : I don't think so. Although Patrick might have done something unfaithful or wrong to his wife, his wife do not have the rights to kill him. No one has the right to end another person's life!
Me: Then do you think in "The way up to heaven", Mrs Foster caused her husband to die intentionally? In another words, do you think Mrs Foster caused her husband's death?
Xin man : Yes. Mrs Foster killed her husband indirectly.
Me: What do you think is the main problem happening between this two couples?
Xin man :Deception. Mr Maloney(Patrick) betrayed Mary and turned his back towards her, out of anger, Mary killed her husband. While in the other story, its a different statement. The problem between this couple is.......,eh, it is not mentioned but we can actually conclude that Mr Foster actually did not want his wife to be happy. And in the end , indirectly caused his own death.
Me: So how do you think couples can maintain a so called healthy relationship?
Xin man : I think they should go out regularly and think for each other so that they can maintain this you called healthy relationship.
Me:Then do you think Mary deserves a punishment in court?
Xin man: Yes. After all , she killed someone!
Me:What about Mrs Foster?
Xin man: Same goes to her. Although she did not really "killed" her husband.
Me: So do you think Mary and Mrs Foster would feel guilty for they had done?
Xin man: For Mary , maybe yes.But for Mrs Foster, NO!
Me: Why?
Xin man: Mary killed her husband in a state of rash while Mrs Foster "killed" her husband without any feelings.
Me: Ok . Thank you for sharing the time with me.
Xin man: Don't mention it.

what I feel about the Multiple Intelligence test


I took a multiple intelligence test and discovered that I am actually an interpersonal person. This means that I am good at group works, or working with others. I am also a kin aesthetic person and perhaps that is why I love sports. This multiple intelligence test had made me know what I am good and bad at. I am , eh, not so good at visual/picture smart . Being an interpersonal person, I am going to conduct an interview with a friend or family member. Find out his/her opinions about crime and punishment or the necessity to communicate in a relationship. Record the interview down.
Before I end this post, I am going to emphasis that the test was useful in letting me know my strengths and weaknesses.

Cross country--A lesson I will NEVER forget

24 February 2010, all of us were waiting nervously for the race to start . "3,2,1" and all the secondary ones were running with all their might. Jack , Yuxiang and me were quite confident that we would win the race as we have always been the top few passing the finishing line in previous runs.
We had been running steadily at first and then we came to this loop where we were suppose to run towards the gate when the teacher REDIRECTED us to the other way and cause us to run an extra 700 meter that others did not. When we started running back to the original route, we discovered that half of the secondary one cohort were ahead of us. Yuxiang , being the best cross country runner in the secondary one cohort immediately speed up to catch up. Jack and I were left behind.
When I almost use up all my strength ,about to stop. I saw this girl running ahead of me.I thought to myself,"I cannot lose to a girl!" and sped up . However, as I go nearer to the finishing line , more and more girls began to appear ahead of me. Although, I would really like to stay behind them to peep at them but I was representing the class but not an individual. So I just close my eyes and dashed all the way.
When I finally reached the finishing line,I have no more strength to even stand up. I was extremely upset when I know that I did not even get into the top hundred!
This is a lesson for me and 1o3,DO NOT TRUST ANYONE IN A RACE!!!!!! EVERYONE IS YOUR ENEMY! (just joking)

Similarities between Way up to heaven and Lamb to the slaughter

I am posting this post about the similarities between Way up to heaven and Lamb to the slaughter now. First of all, a short lesson I have learnt after reading this two stories: MEN SHOULD NOT TREAT WOMEN BADLY OR ELSE SOMEDAY THEY WILL TAKE THEIR REVENGE!!!!!!!!!
I both stories, the wives were treated badly by their husbands and were suffering in their lives. However , they somehow found a way to kill their husbands in a way. Both woman are extremely clever and had created a so called alibi and escaped law. In my opinion , although husband should not treat their wives badly , but that does not give the wives the rights to kill their husbands.
A warning to all BOYS reading this post- BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU CHOOSE YOUR WIVES!

I got into NCC

My worst nightmare-----I got into NCC! I do not know why did I get into there although I put it as my forth choice. Life will be tough for me for the next few years. God bless me!
My classmate-Yuxiang has been mumbling by my ear, asking me to join cross-country with him.I told him I put it as my second CCA option and he was extremely glad and now he is extremely sad. I know that I am not the only one who got into a CCA that I do not want to go , but I still cannot help feeling low.
However , after the first training of NCC , I found out that NCC is actually not as harsh as I aspected. The people there were quite nice though and I met a number of new friends here.
And now I am looking forward to my next training......
