Konnichi-wa, everyone!

Well, not much in the site has changed, except for the music. (Yet again) I was getting tired of Avril Lavigne (Don't get me wrong;; I love her) But considering I own everything Avril stored in my room, and every song she created on my computer, I got tired of listening to the same thing on my website. So guess who's it now? Jesse McCartney!! Yay!! Have fun singing 'Beautiful Soul' with him ^^.

Well, what happened to me today? We went to another field trip to Queen's Park and City Hall, and that's where Parliament is (I think?) I was taking pictures of every statue and painting of dead politics I could possibly find, and writing down every fact that the tour guide gave us *nerd* I can't help it. I couldn't believe Social Studies could be so fascinating. Alex and Puji were like, "This is so boring" while I was like "Lookit that! And that! OMG, what about that?!" I can't help it. They were such cool buildings.

In Queen's Park, there was this great, huge, building. We learned that the old part of it was made outta wood, and the new part was made out of marble. Why marble? It was called 'the new part' because it caught on fire. So the new architect chose marble to build it because it was fire-resistant. XD I learned so much stuff there. Haha.

But what really interested me the most was the nail mural in City Hall. I only remember that it was made of 100 000 nails, because I was too busy being fascinated and playing with it XD. How do you play with a mural, you might ask? Well, you insert a penny in one of the gaps of the mural, and it makes this really cool jingly sound, and trickles down. I checked more on it on Google and here's what it said:

Mural of nails: The nail mural on the east wall is called "Metropolis". It is artist David Partridge's winning entry in an art competition held in 1974 to select a permanent work of art. The mural, which complements City Hall's architectural style, is a symbolic interpretation of a great city, or metropolis. Created from 100,000 common nails, the mural is made up of nine panels, each weighing about 180 kilograms. The circle of massed copper nails in the centre symbolizes the heart, or downtown core, of the city.

We went to so many more places on our trip...But I think that's too much learning for one day. *geek* >.< I'm prepared to cool off my brain with tommorow's Water Gun Fight. So many people are after me, it's kinda scary... ~_~ Well, I'll tell you if I come out alive. I do have my weapon;; A 2 L water-filled Coke Bottle with holes punched on the lid to spray people with. (I know. It's sad. I misplaced my water gun somewhere.) XD Well...Toodles!
