Journalism Tutorial

... means time to blog.

I shall do a feature article on Teo Sue Anne.

The Life Of A Frou Frou

"I don't like Selvan," she proclaimed, before I even asked her anything.

She settled comfortably in her plastic chair in the computer lab, humming to Rain by Breaking Benjamin, which she was listening to via her funky blue earphones. She had inserted her memory card of Halo songs into the computer's reader when the tutorial, surely enough, turned out to be boring.

"It's not just Halo songs," she whined, protesting.

"I'm listening to LaggyQ," she said. LaggyQ was the nickname she gives the group LAGQ, which stands for Los Angeles Guitar Quartet.

Asked if she played the guitar, she replied by squinting and holding up two fingers close to each other.

Cool, I said. I told her that I played the guitar. She said that she knew that.

We revert to her favourite topic - Halo. "Halo is just a really cool game," she stated. "It's the storyline. I'm just attracted to the story. Basically, in the game, you play as this super soldier called a spartan.

"There were 75 spartans who were kidnapped by the government when they were six years old, and tranied. At fourteen, they had to undergo a very risky operation that surgically augmented their reflexes, eyesight, hearing, size and strength, etc. But because it was so risky, less than half made it out alive."

Wah, so cool. I didn't understand. I trusted her on the coolness though. Things I didn't understand had to be cool.

However, she said if she found out that Halo was satanic, she would not play it any more.

"But it isn't laaaaah."
