Hey Gyardo!
You know what happened with my speech? Well I didn't get to recite it, because we had a long test and we did not have any time to recite. Thank goodness though, since I'm not even done with my speech! xD It's pretty hard to think of a good one, and it must be realistic. Still, my first speech was decent and I did receive an applause. :) The Statistics test was super easy! Took me less than an hour to finish it without doubt. And good luck with your test!
Yeah, white rice is softer. My favorite kind of rice is Basmati rice. Ever heard of it? Well it's like plain white rice but thinner. They taste really good too in my opinion. I remember before I disliked black rice because of, well, its color; but now I realized that it's not that bad.
Yeah, almost all of my family relatives live in different parts of the world. Some live in New Zealand, Australia, Italy and so on and so forth. Although, I didn't get to meet them yet personally, I just heard of them. My aunt, uncle and cousins from Canada would usually send a package to us filled with clothes, food, medicines and other household needs, and they're not seen or common in our place. :D And believe me, once you start surfing, you'll pretty much get tired easily since you have to paddle against the current and must catch a good wave. And then, it is up to you if you want to stand on the surfboard or lie down on your chest. I almost got dizzy after doing a few tries. xD
