My new favourite animal is the penguin!! Not tt i dun like my old favourites anymore. juz tt this is added to my list of favourites. haha
Watched 'The March of the Penguins' ystd. I LOVE PENGUINS!! wahhaha. they make the best parents ever! they sacrifice so much for their young! n baby penguins are SOO cute!! my gosh. i feel like juz swimmin to antartica now to grab one to squeeze n cuddle! they are so so adorable! haaha ok u get the point.
u shld watch the show if u haven't. its a show with a gd mix of joy n sadness. its oso v heartwarming at times. it was sad when the parents die trying to protect the eggs from the cold. it was heart-wrenching when they showed how some of the penguins' eggs and life of the unborn chick in it gets taken away by the harsh weather. n even more so when they showed how some of the young chicks, aft surviving the numerous trials n obstacles, get frozen to death cos of the snow storm. wat almost brought tears to my eyes was the helplessness of the parents as they looked on at their hardwork n effort gone as their precious egg crack due to the cold winds, and their lifeless chick lying on the ground, frozen to death. they looked n nudged at them, but they would nv move again. nth tt i type here can describe wat i felt den. the 心酸 and 心痛. sobz.
but den again, of course there are joyous moments too. Watching as the chicks emerge from their shells, as they take their first step, as they waddle n tumble n fall as they walk, as they learn to be independent, i cant help but chuckle out w joy.
And when the family finally reunited, tho only for a short while, it was juz so heartwarming.
Though this show was about penguins, it resembles a human family too. the obstacles, the sadness, the joy.. and of course, the love. the love one has for his partner, the love a parent has for his child, the love tt makes one willing to sacrifice even his life for another, the love that can overcome all obstacles.
" The sound is deafening. But somehow, each of them will hear their mate's song."
i really tink u shld watch it for urself to be able to feel wat i was tryin so deperately to decribe here. its indescribable.
one part tt i tot was q farny was when the narrator was sayin that in order for the penguins to find each other in the enormous crowd, they muz rely on sound, not sight. hm... u mean they can actually differentiate hu is hu by lookin? they all look the same to me...
2) My favourite cooking apparatus
My favourite cooking apparatus now is the slow cooker. It used to be the oven when i was always at hme and had the time to bake. Now tt i'm in hall w no time to cook, using the slow cooker allows me to cook homecooked meals so much more easily. Usually juz throw throw everyt in den aft a few hours can eat le. whahahh simple n clean! hhahaah i feel like i'm a salesman for slow cookers.
