Alan Menken

Who is he, you may ask. He is one of my favourite composers. He composed mostly disney songs.

Alan Menken (born July 22, 1949) is an American musical theatre and film composer and pianist. Menken has collaborated with several renowned lyricists including Howard Ashman (1950-1991), Tim Rice and Stephen Schwartz. He has won eight Academy Awards.

songs he've written:

almost all my favourite songs. some of which are now used as our school bell. yes. school bell. which doesn't make sense as the chorus is quite long. maybe they should put for recess only or something so we can all be happy when we hear it. hearing it every period is so... i'm sure i'll get tired of it somewhere during april? haha. i hope they'll change songs monthly. haha. but now ppl are like humming it. its like stuck in our heads. example. amelia. ahaha. she was humming to me Edelweiss*i think* when i met her. haha. i hummed along. you know what i think they should have someone saying " teachers, your period is over. get outta the class. *you know in mulan? she was on the roof. after nailing the bad guy on the roof, she was muttering get off the roof?* yeah. in that kinda tone. so..

"period is over, get outta the class, get outta the class." *long pause* " unless you have double periods"

hahaha. it would be funny anyway. Anyways, okay. enough about school.everyone has posted multiple post in the short 3 days i was in gramma's place. i was sick last week. puking, diarrhea, stomach cramps cause i had the bloody monthly*first day*, massive headache. pure torture. if i was holding a secret, you know like in the spies movies, and that was their way of taking information was like that, i would have surrendered the information. haha. usually i'm fit as a fiddle. then when i get sick, everything comes at once. if i had flu, i would usually have cough and sore throat at the same time. ahaha. weird person i am.

• i survived the sick day
• in EST, michelle said she read somewhere that this guy said he came from the future and WW3 was gonna happen when we are 22. and his previous predictions were all correct. haha. and the world is gonna end at WW3. so if we are gonna die at 22, then no need to study so hard la. we all dying anyway.
  
• does anyone else but me find humour in this sentence, "if the mothers want to marry their daughters, the present their daughter to a BALL." funny? no? hahahahhaha.
