Green, Pink, and Yellow

Can you name the colors in English? Yes, you’re right. Blue, red, yellow and so on. By the way, I have a funny story about the colors. Do you want to hear it? Okay, listen to me carefully.

            One day, an English teacher was explaining about colors to his students. 

            After he had finished explaining, he asked his students. “Who can make a sentence using the words green, pink, and yellow?”

            Kris the cleverest student in the class, quickly raised up his hand and answered, “When the yellow morning Sun comes, I see a beautiful girl wearing a pink dress walking through the green grass”.

            “Great! Kris, you are a very good student.” Said the teacher.

            “Me, me, Sir” Niel, The most Stupid student in the class said while rising his hand. And then said, “I heard the telephone was ringing green…..green, then I pink up the receiver and I said, “Yellow, Who’s speaking there?”

Kick My Ass during Flag Ceremony

It happened when I was still in junior high. That day, august 17, 1995, and I had to be at school before 7 am but I woke up late. Everything was I rush that morning. I skipped breakfast so that I wouldn’t be late at school. I had to perform in the ceremony since I was a member of PASKIBRA. Because I rushed through everything, I didn’t pay attention to what I wore to school. This proved to be an embarrassment for me. During the flag ceremony, almost all student were laughing. I didn’t know that they were laughing at me until one of my teachers told me that instead of wearing a uniform, I wore my home short which were in the same color as my uniform. What made it worse, it had a “Kick My Ass” sign written on its butt. I swear that was the day that I won’t ever forget for the rest of my life.
