ooh. just back frm e french farewell party for m dremaux. and from fetching serene n cheukka home. i must admit the funnest part was when we were doing e wrapping. and all tt was missing was yunlei. haha:) brought back so many memories. esp when i was looking at the photos today afternoon.
anyways. the wrapping. so. ziwei n kai-lyn bought a present. and wrapping paper. so we went up to crystal's room [which is really cool! like this attic cosy corner:] to wrap it. no scotch tape to be found in the house! [wow. quite unbelievable] so we'd to figure out some way to wrap it without using scotch tape.
the whole scene reminded me of the farewell for the french correspondants too.. when we [me cheuk kai yun] were at kai-lyn's corresp's flat wrapping kai's pres [i think] and kai was "boasting abt her superb scotch-tape cutting skills" [quote yun] and yun herself was boasting abt her own superb gift-wrapping skills. which ended up really funny.
so. after many failed attempts to wrap it we finally somewhat succeeded with some cooperation. and kai-lyn's suggestion during e gift-wrapping "let's wrap it up with a telephone wire!" [after seeing e wire lying about in crystal's room] typical kai-lyn crap.. which i kinda miss actually;p haha
therefore the gift was wrapped. but the flap wudn't stay down! kai's brilliant solution: use glue! [and it refused to stick] so it was like a self-opening present. ah some things can't be adequately described in words but it was hilarious:) n really fun:)
mme faussat's son is so cute! n she n m quenot are hilarious:) n "drunk" jireh in denial. and deprived liangsi. haha so crappy. anyhow. must have tt outing real soon. after all e memories start coming back.
aiyahs i thought i'd forgotten abt french but after reading other ppl's entries on yest's paper i'm like.. crap.. wat if i really screwed up.. esp when i think i'm one of the very few who actually ventured to do the passe simple qn.. but i don't remember using much passe simple.. mostly description [therefore imparfait] and flashbacks to stuff tt happened in the past of the past [therefore plus-que-parfait]
someone reassure me i didn't screw up the paper. sigh. and hearing liangsi complain a lil abt how she forgot it was remplace par [i got it wrong too] made me a lil more depressed. n i felt like wanted to give up after the 1st 1/2h.. stared at compre qns.. din noe how to rephrase.. had no ideas for compo.. fabricate some pathetic narrative or go find arguments for the other one? hais
anyways. enough of french. now about pw. i have so many grouses i dunno where to start. haha. n i don't think i'll feel v happy if i bitch abt everyth i want to here cos.. well.. not nice. yeah. presentation. haha. watever. hope i didn't screw it up too badly. and the Q&A! e way they were nodding aft i finished seemed like "okay.. she can't give u anyth better.. forget abt asking anyth more"
and the file! very dissatisfied.. sigh sometimes i wonder if lyd was right.. abt how it wud be v diff if it were done in rg. i don't noe. somehow i don't really remember our projs being of exemplary quality.. *shrugs* can't remember.. maybe it wasn't though.. somehow i always felt that watever grp i was in we weren't v productive.
and i wanted to go join candice n siewjin n yaozong n junming for lunch or watever it is they're doing but no.. i have terp.. and then the presentation is nxt sat.. so more stress.. and tt also means reading up on PLASMA and FARADAY CUPS for the whole of nxt week.. i hate Q&A..
basically i've no free time. hardly enough. why do i get myself into so much freaking crap is a mystery to me. n i think i complain a lot.
just had listening. think it was okay:) hopefully:)
so. last paper tomorrow. in a last-ditch attempt i've been swamping myself in frenchy stuff until i almost feel like i'm in france! hais. so i'm taking a break for now. since i've just finished a paper. it has also made me extremely hungry.
hmm. so. 5 years of french. i can't really remember much abt sec1. mme gwee. besides e fact tt i sat w chris till she quit. n 1/2 e time i cudn't really figure out wat was happening so i'd just copy off her:D and i remember serene sitting with linda and they always made a whole lot of noise:p
sec2 n 3. m. yong. super nice. but lotsa weird stories:p n sometimes got a bit boring. and his roleplays! left me quite sian at times haha:) didn't really like them cos they were so crappy. but so nice of him to send postcard:) oh!! and his end-of-the-yr games and prizes.. i think e 1st french book i owned was frm him:) and all the feasts too haha yummy:)
oh and he went off to france for a while n m quenot came in.. he was hilarious:D n ser w her crush [rite? if i remember correctly] his horrified expressions at our pathetic french n freaky ideas [like locking sb into e cupboard until he confessed] n joon's command of e language:p still remember some phrase to do with a valley n joon kept giving the wrong preposition, one of which caused e valley to be climbing up the mountain or sth:p
and also tt time when we were throwing notebooks/dictionaries across e room behind his back n making a whole lot of noise
sec4. mme faussat. oh no wait actually i was assigned to m dremaux's class but the beginning was really horrible. like. cold envt. and french names.. virginie??!! was i glad i managed to escape to mme faussat's class. haha. altho tt was the super-power class.. with all the french shen2s..
well anyways she was really very hilarious.. i think every lessons i cud find a quotable quote from her.. tt also cos of crystal [lee]'s and ningqi's conversations with her.. but also remember she got pissed at us in the beginning cos we all weren't talking.. oh and she was also saying she'd become deaf in the moelc classrooms, just a matter of time:D
and in the middle of last yr we had the 4.30 class thanks to spastic rg's extra classes.. back to m. dremaux.. and with more french names.. ugh.. at least this time we cud choose..
so skip to this yr. straight 2-hr lessons. with m dremaux. well. wat can i say. at 5.30.. when i'm usually half asleep.. no matter wat time i sleep at nite.. o well..
oh. yes. and immersion. it was so so fun:) which reminds me.. oh dear.. still haven't met up to exchange photos! sigh. anyhow. i'm not sure i got along v well with my correspondant. but. besides tt.
well. guess tts all e reminiscing i'll do for today. hopefully i spelt tt correctly hmmm.. haha.. heck.. more french! tmr's gonna be freaking busy. 2h45 paper, to sch for pw, to ntu for terp. no lunch. well.
