Fantastic Tal. Best of luck. I was on my high school math team many ages ago, but I was not that good.

Hey, congratulations! :banana: This is really something to boast about. Here, I am struggling with these trigonometric ratios which is considered as some of the basic things of math. :p Anyway, good luck with the next round!

Ummm....what have I got to boast about? Oh, I finished the farewell poem I was writing!

Lying inside my math book, perhaps feeling sad for those it is going to bid a farwell. Or perhaps eager to express itself in front of them, and to wish them a good luck with their up-coming life. Or perhaps indifferent, thinking that it is just another farewell poem, a poem which has to bid a bitter-sweet goodbye....

*edit*

I am supposed to be happy. Entering college for people must be a good part of life. :D

Yes, it is :nod:.

In an Invisible mode. Just kidding. :p Actually, it's a bit personal (written for a group of people and has things in it they would like to be kept in the cupboard), otherwise I would have loved to share it, no matter how bad my poetry is! :)

Great news, Tal! :) Congratulations and best of luck for the rest of the competition!

It is always nice to see our little ones doing so well!

You know, I asked because I like your poetry :nod:. But if this is personal, I'll just wait for the next :D.

And when will we start seeing your works? ;)

On an unrelated note, but very much on topic: Today I made a report in under an hour, that's the fastest yet. I was under some pressure, but I still felt proud that I was able to do it so fast. Preliminary feedback suggest it is quite good too. :D

Okay, so I was able to use my other reports as reference, it's still not an easy task. Typing as fast as I could. It was only a small report, 3,5 pages, and more of a summary of the previous reports. Now that I think about it, it isn't anything to boast about at all, I should have done it in less than 30 minutes. :flare:

On to the real boast of the day.
I woke up on time, even though I forgot to set the alarm! What a difference with yesterday when I managed to sleep through three classes before waking up and deciding it was no use to go and attend the last lecture of the day, since I'd only get in for the tail end of it. Fortunately, I didn't miss that much, as apparently, one lecturer overslept too.

Thank you for your confidence in my skills, but I fear you might be deluded :). I'm terribly impatient with myself, and if something doesn't come right after the first (second, at least) try, I'm put off it :(. If, one day, I'll surmount my fear of "not-knowing-where-and-how-to-start", I will send my first written piece to you first :nod:

My boast --- I went to the shop with money and I resisted Pringles!!
Yay for me!


---silly I know but thereyou go my greatest weakness has always been pringles I can smell them 2 rooms away.

How I love pringles, Paprika are the best, so delectable.

Ahem, as for boasting, last week, I became a mod on this great and wonderful forum, and today I pushed this red button and the entire forum disappeared. :Confused:

Did you know I can predict the future? :)

Yay Bakiryu, ! Dont you just love cooking , I know I do!

Very good too, but the pringles paprika are just the best,the lays paprika for example pales in comparison.

and roasting my own potatoes is way too much work when I'm watching a film.

Can you still get the Paprika Pringles? they are my favourite but i havent seen them in years!

echh well to each his own I guess but parika is so ordinary mind you I tell you what is fantatsic but Ive never seen them anywher but egypt chili and lemon crisps. If you ever vist egypt make sure you try "chipsy shut-ah wee lay-moon"

Oh, I love cooking, (since i don't have to eat what i cook :lol: )

(Main ingredients: tabasco sauce, more tabasco sauce, red pepper, black pepper, and cayene peper! :flare: :bawling: )

:lol:

ah right your like my sis then, she eats jalapeno peppers like fruit :goof:

<3 jalape&#241;o. (People cry when they eat my food!)

note to self... dont eat anything cooked by Bakiryu

people arent stupid enough to try hers.... :D :p

But Ive seen people break down in 'macho' competions with her while she is just cooly enjoying her jalape&#241;os and these boys and occasionaly men have had to run off to thebathromm or burst into tears with the pain.

:D:D But I just love baking and cooking generally I have a mother hen gene which includes the feed'em mentality.

Did I mention I made a pan of stuffed vine leaves last week that came out perfection, my first ever attempt I was SO proud, :nod: when I get back to manchester Ill get my flat mate to send me the piccy to share, course I didnt tip them quite right but still it was very yummy :nod:

Macho spice-eating competions are fun (says the winner). There's something fun in watching grown men cry *laughts*. I'm trying to make my food less spicy thought. (Never cook spicy chocolate cake again! never!)

Had 4 Ferrero Roches in the past 7 minutes! :D

(OK, admittedly, I am feeling a wee bit nauseous...)

...wow. That's nuts. A lot of nuts. :p
