Maggi: Thanks Gloria...
Felix: I want to watch The Witches of Blair... Friends say it's a good one.
MichaelC: I told Maggie - Australia voted yesterday to stay with the British Commonwealth and keep the queen.
MichaelC: So no republic for us.
Ying-Lan: I read the news on Newspaper this morning.
Felix: We have a republic government..
MichaelC: So we spent $84M to stay the same!
Maggi: Won't ask how you voted.
MichaelC: I voted yes for the republic.
Ying-Lan: I do not understand why you keep the queen... she is far away from you!
MichaelC: But i really don't care.
Maggi: that was expensive.
Felix: Who is your queen MC?
Maggi: his wife of course!
MichaelC: People are really afraid to change Ying. Our queen is Queen Elizabeth - the Engosh monarch.
Felix: lol
MichaelC: English monarch.
Maggi: if he knows what is good for him...:-)
Felix: By the way, does anyone know why Elizabeth I used that white facial mask?
MichaelC: What are laughing at Felix?!
MichaelC: No. tell us....
Maggi: my remsrk mc.
Ying-Lan: But you are different from British....
MichaelC: Oh - I get it (the joke)
Maggi: which you wisely chose to ignore...:-)
Felix: because maggi said your queen was your wife... But that was not the meaning of my question.
Ying-Lan: You have the same queen with British...
MichaelC: Well yes Yimg. But there are still a lot of Bristish migrants here.
MichaelC: And people like the romance of monarchy I think.
MichaelC: Like when Diana died the WHOLE WORLLD was upset at the death of a princess. It's like a fairytale.
gloria: bye guys..for now..
Ying-Lan: bye
Felix: Can anyone here answer my question?
Ying-Lan: Which one?
MichaelC: Which question?
Felix: why did Elizabeth I used that white facial mask?
MichaelC: I don't know.
Maggi: Sshe wore a mask?
Maggi: when?
MichaelC: Is this a joke Felix?
Felix: yes....
Felix: No Michael,, it's not.....
Maggi: oh...well tell us the ant=swer then...
Felix: I dont know the answer.. I am looking for it.
MichaelC: Oh - done a web search?
Maggi: I am not sure if she really wore a mask or just lots of makeup.
Felix: Havent you seen any picture of Elizabeth I using a white mask???
Felix: yes Mc, but no luck
Maggi: no I hqven't...her face is always white
MichaelC: Yes I have - it was probably just a beauty treatment.
Ying-Lan: I don't think she wore a white facial mask...
MichaelC: Women do strange things to look beautiful!
Ying-Lan: But she looks as the same in the past 10 years.
Felix: I am talking about the FIRST Elizabeth ying, not this one.
Ying-Lan: I am sorry.
MichaelC: Elizabeth I from the 16th century.
Felix: right MC
MichaelC: :)
Maggi: oh...back then they used piles of powder.
Ying-Lan: Soooo. why you need Elizabeth I to your queen? Did she pass away?
Ying-Lan: Soooo. why you need Elizabeth I to be your queen? Did she pass away?
MichaelC: Our current queen is Elizabeth II.
Felix: i've heard that that mask was made of silver powder from a Wales well.
Ying-Lan: got it.
MichaelC: You seem to know a bit about English history Felix.
Maggi: Remember they didn't bath oftn Felix.
MichaelC: I used to but I've forgotten it all.
Felix: I don't.. I just got curious after I watched Elizabeth
MichaelC: I see.
Ying-Lan: He got information from Movies...
Ying-Lan: It is nice way to learn by watching movies.
MichaelC: How come you have the time to watch 2 movies in a day?
Felix: I like to watch historical movies ... I watched Joana D`Arc last weekend.....
Ying-Lan: Only need 4 - 5 hours, we have 24 hours in a day.
Felix: on the weekends MC.
MichaelC: How many hours do you sleep Ying?
Ying-Lan: YOu know,,, sometimes, I did not do anything,,, but time pass by so fast.
Maggi: time marches steadiloy on...
Maggi: stedily
Maggi: steadily
MichaelC: Especially as you get older! The years are getting shorter.
Maggi: what a lousy teacher...:-)
Felix: I have to stop in the time.. I am always doing something.
Ying-Lan: Right!
Felix: what is lousy??
MichaelC: No Maggie. Just a lousy typist/speller.
Maggi: the older you get the faster time seems to go by...
Felix: error... I hate to stop in the time.
MichaelC: lousy = bad/terrible
Maggi: time is always the same but it is relative to our references
MichaelC: Pronounced with a 'z' sound (louzy)
Felix: I meant to be doing nothing.. I hate it.
Maggi: do something you enjoy and poof...it is gone
MichaelC: Or be bored and time d....r....a.....g......s......on.
Maggi: do something boring and it just drags...
Maggi: hehehe

MichaelC: I mean ' say the same thing at the same time.'
Felix: but I didnt understand it
Felix: oh gottcha

MichaelC: Snap the card game: 2 piles of cards , 2 people turn over one card at a time and when they match you say 'SNAP' and take all the cards.

MichaelC: Kids oove it. The easiest game in the world. Im usre you have oit with another name.
MichaelC: Kids love it.
Felix: When I am doing nothing I am watching TV or a movie.
Maggi: like Garfield...now who is the lousy speller?
Ying-Lan: I am a lousy speller.
