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.
i'm in a freaking bad mood. hah. 1st. pw. 2nd. french crap. don't noe la.. i think its mostly pw tho.
okay. so we didn't rehearse b4 presenting in front of mrs cheong. given tt i added all tt stuff last nite.. a bit bound to get into trouble yeah. and given tt zj only had a cursory look at the presentation b4 we started. so of cos the clicking was terrible. esp for mine since i added stuff. and then somehow the animations were totally screwed up, such tt the points came out in halves [miraculous huh] which was actually quite hilarious at first but after tt i was wondering how it happened.
n i totally screwed up the question-answering. somehow just blurted out the wrong thing n had to attempt to save myself [rather unsuccessfully i mite add, just ended up confusing mrs cheong]
yeah. so given tt the whole op was a fiasco and it was spposed to be better than the 1st one.. um.. yay? esp all tt freaking time i spent last nite.. so annoying
oh one funny thing. when we [my pw grp] n matthew [frm e other pw grp] went to look for mrs cheong in e staffrm, matthew thot his grp disappeared when they were actually waiting outside. so later when both our grps were at the classroom junming got a msg frm mrs cheong "we're at 2-6. matthew is with us." given tt we were ALL at the classrm n she wasn't in sight tt was quite funny:D
anyway. so it didn't help tt ser called me twice for fun [and my batt was running low] and my mom was asking abt e op when i had low batt. n later ser didn't reply to my smses asking where they were so i'd to call her n ting [who both didn't pick up i mite add] got rather annoyed. but at least aft i met them it was fine for those few hours.. at least.:) thanks for a great time:) tho SOMEONE as usual kept whining abt SOMEONE else. bwaha:D diaoing time! but i've probably done enough of tt today.
so. french. n i thought no problem with french class n pw on monday cos usually french is at 5.30. but no! dremaux says tt he has invigilating in e morning n classrms are all occupied in the evening so we've to have class in the library which closes at 5. um. yay? since i've to be at pw oral presentation frm 12.45 to 4.30. so i got quite pissed off again cos its like.. hmm.. this is partly my fault i haven't started revising/anyth.. n i really need help for essays esp which he's doing on mon. SUCKS.
wat with
1)pw
2)terp
3)french ao's
4)cip form in by fri n the real cip to do
5)work attachment
how is tt possible tt post promos seems as stressful as pre promos?
today was.. quite fun too!:) yay. watched matrix revolutions. [for those who haven't watched n don't want me to spoil the show, skip the nxt 2 paras]
i still prefer the 1st matrix somehow. well. reloaded didn't live up to expectations. revolutions. mm. i dunno. how could they kill off the hero n the heroine! tt was so tragic. hmph. i wud have wanted to see them fight somemore. haha. tho i thot the fight btwn agent smith n neo was quite dumb actually. since when do pple fight and rise in perfect spirals.
thought their "APUs" [watever they stand for] are quite funny n cool:) tho during the scene where they just showed the nice formation of APUs n watever machines i was quite amused n was like "hmm.. okay.. pretty formation.. yay.. watever.." and haha at least they didn't have much time for love scenes. tho i thought just for that scene where one of the captains [or commandos or sth?] was slashed across the face by lotsa sentinels, they mite have rated it nc-16. haha. it was so gross.
speaking of which, after i read some stuff online i find tt some stuff was cut out of reloaded? either that or i forgot [which is actually kinda fast] cos they had something about a "ghost" [whom i have no idea who it is] and niobe kissing persephone [is tt her name?]
ah. then went pooling. which was kinda fun cos i haven't pooled in like.. 6+months. how sad. and actually found somewhere which doesn't mind having u in wearing sch u. so much easier than changing. bwaha:D my aiming is quite pathetic haha. with me n siewjin against her, grace only narrowly lost.. so we were like.. go join shaun n dasheng.. can promote her to major league liao. n siewjin n i took like 1/2h to finish one game how sad is tt. haha.. she was like.. "cannot make it.." the whole time
hols = pw, french aos, terp, work attachment, cip, dunno wat else [in chronological order] bleargh:( wish i weren't so busy. doesn't seem v attractive to me. but again if i didn't have stuff then i'd probably be super bored. aah. but at the moment, bad mood cos its like 12+ i'm tired i wanna go sleep but i've to fake stupid grp evaluation of sources by tmr n i think my minutes are quite horrible:(
ooh. quite a nice day:) actually i dunno why also. haha. i was kinda surprised mr toh made me sing sop1 for the song but tts fine by me.. although my voice was in quite a horrible condition today didn't sound the way i wanted it to. relegated back to the front row. how tragic:P o well.
and during e break i ran over to visit my mom [who happened to be talking to mrs cheong] bwaha. trust my dad to rant on and on abt chorale.. it was rather hilarious actually later mrs cheong was telling me she's glad she's not e chorale tcher.. who wud have to face his tirade.. and sed he got very worked up [sigh] typical daddy. o well. hopefully she accepted my explanation n doesn't like go n pass on my dad's complaints or sth. i guess if she waters it down it wudn't be so bad.
somehow i think the car breaking down was quite amusing:D like suddenly.. oh! no more car. haha. so i was hanging around sch n sort of catching up with ppl e.g. jiahui selene mingjing. quite fun:)
and it was also very interesting hearing abt wat e tchers said. i mean like. hmm. with abbb i'm considered a "strong student". by mrs cheong. haha. okay. watever. at least she was nice:D and ms tan's "heart-to-heart talks" with pple who won't be able to take chem s but want appeal. erps. hmmm.. -quizzical- and mr chan [ter yue] sed i'm hardworking [or a gd student or sth to tt extent] compared with last semester's "looks dazed and lost in class" .. HMMM.. very suspicious..
and mr chan [cheow hwa] who says he only remembers me asking him ONE question n nothing else [well tt was only bcos no one else in e class knew how to do] and my dad sed he was v pitiful cos he was saying nobody answers him in class when he asks if everything's alright.. tt kinda happens during every class just tt i guess the rest of the tchers gave up or sth.
and mrs lim!! hahahaha.. her comments were e most amusing.. apparently when my mom sat down she sed 'oh!! u look so much like clarissa [or maybe its the other way round i forgot] demure, cultured, soft-spoken, gentle, etc' u get the idea. i was laughing my head off in the car. i'm "well-behaved". dunno wat else.
one of them sed i'm usually v quiet in class but once in a while will start whispering to my frens and start talking a lot. somehow i bet tt was ms jeanne tan n its probably serene's fault cos she always talks so much. she sed i was weak in organic chem [i don't think so!!] and energetics [yeah this one i admit i somehow can't do e qns during exams]
french yesterday was quite funny. yes jireh shuddup abt my pathetic rephrasing will u :p i still like e avocat thingy:p
after listening compre
liangsi "wat was that avocat thing?"
m. dremaux "avocado?"
jireh "oh so he hired an avocado to represent him in court?"
so my mental picture was this huge fruit [like those cartoon fruit thingies] with hands and legs and eyes holding a briefcase striding into court.
hmm. today's "class breakfast as bonding activity" was quite hilarious. given that it was in place of a phys tutorial cos most of us forgot to bring tys [i really really thought we didn't need tys haha.. just remembered to bring e tutorial only] so someone suggested we have bonding activity [brought over frm e civics EQ thingy bwaha:D]
and mrs cheong seemed so set on making sure the class bfast thingy materialised.. -amused-.. anyways i think we needed it la.. the way we're so segregated most of the time.. heard so much stuff frm her it was quite interesting:) and i can't imagine why she doesn't want to let us know her bday.. weird.. oh and i [okay my whole class]
speaking of bdays, didn't noe ms tan's bday was yesterday! ahh.. quote eunice: "we should have made her happy instead of pissing her off" and no wonder she was wearing contacts. haha.
argh. now i dunno wat to do abt job attachment. don't know if i want to go. don't know what i should do abt choir. don't know about holiday. help. :( decision making time! my worst nightmare. blah. oh and i would gladly drop bio for french a's just that i think my french has been deteriorating steadily since beginning of e yr!:( and it mite not work out v well either. bleah:(
bah. not very satisfied with results. keep feeling like i haven't reached my full potential. or maybe i'm just getting stupid:S or my class pple [esp e guys] are phenomenally smart. [which is true but that's kind of besides the point]. put it this way, i believe i'm capable of better. throughout the whole yr i've never been satisfied with any marks.
ah i sound like this super-competitive exam-crazed maniac. forget it. somehow ABBBB3 just doesn't cut it. esp when i missed A for chem by 1 mark! *screams n pulls hair out* bah. annoying. n maths was full of careless mistakes.. hopefully phys wasn't another whole lot of rubbishy mistakes as well. cos i thot i could get a higher b instead of a mid one. watever. n i feel like dropping bio.. its so tedious to study and so hard to get results [for me anyway] talk about a very lazy clar.
i should just thank god i can take s papers. yup. but its just expectations of myself from myself. was falling asleep during french. was thinking it'll be quite cool to study in france and come back and be able to speak french fluently like a native! like.. total immersion.. not like last yr's thingy when we could fall back on english most of the time.. but the price to pay.. haha.. learning everyth in french? mmm.. hmm... haha..
haha i love gerald durrell's "my family and other animals".. was laughing like mad last night while reading it.. his family members make the most hilarious remarks! my mom must have thought i'd turned into a hyena.. practically howling with laughter every few minutes:D nice stress relief
pleasant surprise today!:) i had a great time tonight.. had dinner w leeting n xuwen n hannah n grace n guanzhen [whom i didn't noe was going to appear actually haha] and it was hilarious.. wat with ting buying a happy meal [oops hopefully pple won't think the worse of her for that:p] n us all having lotsa fun with the little car haha;D and xuwen stealing food + drink from everyone cos she had mac's for lunch
and after that ting xuwen hannah n i went on to westmall.. none of us possessed a pen, of which ting was quite anxious to get so she could pen something on pam's photo. so we decided to go to popular. and had a hilarious time there. partly cos of ting's silly remarks and my sarcasm [or ridiculous remarks made with a straight face] whichever way u choose to look at it. i guess it encompassed both.
anyways. 1stly she forgot to bring my present. of which the only thing she would say was that it was "made of goblin's silver" and had something to do with "the quiet sound of cats' footsteps", watever that meant. and accused me of not having read enough children's storybooks to noe wat she meant. sed she got it from some goblin's book. in which i replied sarcastically tt it was SO obvious which book she got it from. so i wandered over to look at enid blyton's books. and actually found a book entitled the goblin's workshop or sth like tt. ah basically we were just having lotsa fun being silly.
and after that i decided to measure my height from this hanging chart [which obviously wasn't at the correct height] and happily sed "oh look! i'm 1.6!" so leeting took the chart off and positioned it somewhere at my waist and sed "oh come on u're 2.something!"
so. we wandered from children's books to teenage fiction. and then leeting walked into the chinese children's section n sed she needed those books cos her chinese was deteriorating terribly. in which i sed i consoled myself with the fact tt at least she turned to her left instead of the right. ["preschool books" was on the right]
ah actually after typing all tt out it sounds quite dumb. nvm for my own amusement:) so later we ended up at shop n save. n then leeting wanted to buy some dried satay fish thingy. n xuwen didn't want to buy for herself cos she wud get sore throat. so hannah was like "oh pw issit" and leeting asked "ur pw is about sore throats?" the look on xuwen's face was priceless. [in fact she gave quite a few priceless looks thruout the night] so she patiently proceeded to explain that "for my pw presentation, unlike yours, my group has to open their mouths and speak. so, if i buy that i'll just eat and eat and might get a sore throat, which would somewhat affect the quality of my presentation". something to that effect. i forgot the 2nd part of wat she sed so tt's a summary. rather poor one tho.
think there was somemore hilarious stuff but can't really remember. its been a really long time since i've laughed so much on an outing.. must be something to do with orchard road.. haha.. tho actually i think i've laughed a lot during some lecture or another.. with serene.. well anyways i never knew xuwen was so sarcastic/ridiculous too. despite being in the same sec 3 n 4 class. n i enjoyed myself so much seems like there hasn't been a time as good. but again it always seems so at that point in time.
anyway what matters is that i had tons of fun!:) its quite surprising how u can manage to have a great time with pple whom u least expect it with. not that i was expecting to be bored/anyth but yeah just didn't think it wud be as fun as it was:) so clar is happy!:) and on a high. even with the thought of terp tmr. haha.
heh. i'm quite sick of open house actually. maybe i should have gone to join OH team. don't know. hardly see anyone around except chorale pple. not that they're not nice. but well. seems like its a pure-choir week or so.
and it was a v pleasant surprise!:) my book! haha.. quite amazing how candice could buy the exact book [okay not the exact book but the author anyhow] tt i wanted/was planning to buy.. quite cool:) made me happy anyway
oh n it was also a pleasant surprise tt mr toh praised sops for being the most prepared/confident among the sections.. kudos to val n tiff!:) bwaha
anyway i think i sound like i've gone mad but i'd rather hurry up n get results back.. the wait seems interminable.. but again if i screw up everything i'll probably be very unhappy n wishing tt i nv got results back. aiyah.
oh i must make sure i watch all the dances [dance club, rhythmic gym performance] and every faction's cheerleading! :):):) after being deprived of the cheerleading cos of choir prac [still remember it was e day b4 finals tt why cannot pon] i must see it tmr! whee~ hope it'll be a nice day
n i must buy all e books i want by this weekend yay:)
my poor legs are so tired from ~5hrs of standing thanks to choir [sectionals in a TS without chairs; combined in LT standing in front of mr toh w/o chairs] i had to come home n lie on the bed n recuperate. still very tired legs.
oh n i forgot to add, jireh's n amogh's emceeing = hilarious n so crappy.. ah well.. at least it's fun:)
ooh surprisingly pw was quite amusing today.. we were all so bitter n being so sarcastic abt it.. raphael's crappy comments especially.. then we'll all add in our crap and start laughing n laughing.. and somehow i have no idea why but they found my typing very hilarious.. esp zj.. she keeps laughing at me! hmph. ah anyways so i was typing out the report cos couldn't find e diskette then e keyboard was making lotsa noise and i was just staring at the paper and not at the keyboard/screen which they all found very amusing. oh well.
n i very intelligently totally forgot about 1+ being peak hour so decided to take shaun's advice n take bus to get to orchard.. which ended up taking us 1hr.. to walk frm sch to bus stop n taking e bus. ugh. luckily chris n lyd came over to meet me!:) whee~ at 1st was rather quiet. don't know why it seems to be becoming a habit. until lyd started complaining i wasn't saying anything. so i reverted to my usual caustic self [if tt's accurate hmm i must go ask chris] n enjoyed it. somehow i feel like i've been repressing my usual sarcasm and trying to be a nice person cos not everybody takes sarcasm very well esp if they don't know me. wonder if that's accurate too but i just realised it today i think. i miss being sarcastic. okay i think i sound like a madwoman. haha:D oh well
okay. yay. so i totally screwed up bio. spent ~50mins on mcq. haha. how stupid can i get. and they didn't give us a recommendation! ugh. 30marks. main paper i was left with 1h40+ for 95marks. n i think i chose the wrong essay question. just realised how challenging it was when i was writing a). by then, too late. left ~10+marks blank. yay. hope for c.
was glad [and pleasantly surprised] that my classmates were so on about watching seabiscuit;) but i was kinda disappointed by the show. guess its better not read the book before watching. cos u get preconceived ideas. and when they aren't fulfilled.. well.. disappointment. the rest of them really enjoyed it though which is great:) but i didn't really.. think the book's descriptions were more graphic.. imagination!:) mm.. i want to buy some more real horse racing books haha.. somehow true stories are more.. heartwarming?
had a lot of grouses about characters and how they were portrayed and wat the director should have included but i guess it wud have dragged to 4hrs:p but it was really nice having a movie on horses:) and the horse races! fun:) exhilaration!
disappointed didn't get to buy my brave new world frm kino cos by the time we finished dinner it was like 10.10 n kino was closed! -sigh- so near yet so far.
doesn't help i've pw tmr. cos mrs cheong has so many complaints. FIFTH draft. like.. wth.. i'm totally SICK and TIRED of looking at that stupid report. and editing. and cutting words. basically i'm in quite a foul mood now dunno why.
plus i've to go and do sth abt my TERP. n i think choir pple will be after me for attendance soon. :S my life is full of unpleasant things. haha okay fine so i'm being really pessimistic n everyth..
!! -v annoyed- messed up math. stupid careless mistakes. theta, cos graph <1, 3d trig, graph sketching. CRAP. it might just cost me an a. which is horrible! grr. dunno wat else is wrong:( wonder wat my percentage + percentile's gonna be man. ugh.
ugh.. someone tell me how i'm gonna do chem s paper.. aahh... actually on 2nd thoughts maybe it was cos i was too stressed abt getting a to do s paper to think properly. and i dunno how much stuff i've gotten wrong. hopefully don't minus more than 20marks so i can still scrape my a. haha. hope. i wonder if phys/chem was better. guess we'll have to see e marks.
watever it is i shall make sure i ace maths tmr.. ugh.. my grades are terrible this yr:S
sigh and i spent most of yesterday slacking. bad clar. esp when i look at past yr promo papers n freeze in horror. for every single subject! ugh
haha. i'm done for. yay. totally screwed up my french orals today. it was how traumatising. hellish. watever. i came out, my hopes totally dashed. [or as wat i sed to chris, i went in weak kneed, came out ready to collapse]
so i think the presentation was okay.. but i kept looking up n down frm my cards to the examiners.. haha.. and i think they were quite interested in the pics. which is good i sppose. kinda glad faussat was our invigilator haha she's nice at least. glad she wasn't e examiner if not i'll totally freak.
come to conversation. when do u usually eat cheese? judging frm my experience last yr, i guess its aft dinner like a dessert. why? guessed tt it'll spoil the dinner if taken before. haha. i have no idea. really. how pathetic is that.
so is cheese in provence a v impt industry? i dun tink so cos it doesn't produce v well known cheese. so i sed maybe its known for their port [haha]. cos all i noe abt provence is tt its near the sea. and marseille's bouillabaisse is v well known. total crap la.
then i elaborated that rhone alpes is probably more cheese orientated cos it produces more cheese and more of those AOC ones.
so he went on to say oh so cheese is a symbol of france.. wat else is there? so i named wine, fashion, maybe the language cos they speak french n everyone else speaks english, mostly.
then he says.. oh.. wat else is there? poor desperate clar who is having a mind block can't think of anyth else. and if that weren't enough, he goes on asking.. oh.. then wat product in spore really reminds u of france? besides those in the categories i've already mentioned.. and i'm like.. i really really can't think of anyth else cos i think those 4 categories encompass everyth.
and i dug my own grave by mentioning singlish as the symbol of spore.. [which was the nxt qn] cos serene got it as her conversation topic the last time.. n we were talking abt it b4hand.. so he started raining more questions on singlish.. is it impt? is e speak gd english campaign impt? should we scrap singlish? can we? blah blah blah.. on and on.. for like ~20mins.. or maybe 15+.. i can't remember wat the time was when we started. altho there was this huge digital clock on the table. just noe i ended at 3.27 [according to tt clock] and it seemed like eternity.
worst oral i ever had man. or so it seems. when i'm put in a spot n really have no idea wat to say. and when the examiner keeps raining questions on u without stop without pause without any break to like calm down or sth.. i was so desperately rattling off stuff i had no idea wat i was saying n no idea if i was being grammatically correct in the manner of tenses/gender agreement/etc.. -groan-
finally i think all my steam is let off. -heaves a huge sigh- someone tell me it wasn't as bad as i thought? haha. and they taped it and the tape's gonna go to cambridge.. um.. yay? my mom asked "they played back for u to listen?" i think if they did i'd die of shame n embarrassment at my crap la..
ooh yay i finally got the tagboard up after dunno how long.. n i've just spent ~3h doing french oral stuff. hmm. wonder how necessary that was. hope i can ace it tmr.. haha.. questions tt i can answer n i possess e necessary vocab for.
i'm wondering if i'll end up sneaking out on my bday to go watch seabiscuit anyway haha.. but i'll probably be freaking out for gp n stuff. ah well.
*sniffs* all i have = lots of tissue packets [no more box] and water jug to accompany me in my room. ow my throat hurts:( and i think my voice has hit a new low. ughs. wat a horror.
but anyways i'm glad i skipped today haha.. crappy pw n bio lect n chem tut.. luckily it wasn't too much stuff if not i'd have dragged myself to sch. *sneezes* i wonder wat they did hmm.
why do i never learn my lesson. grumbles. this is all my fault. it also doesn't help that i counted 29 topics tt i'm unsure of. if this is not big trouble then i dunno wat is. haha.
sch's mad.. its like we're spposed to get a's to get s papers n there're dunno how many topics to study n everyth but no we still have to go to sch and they teach non-promo stuff i'm sure anyone will listen. how dumb.
-back to my fruit-lunch- how miserable. hopefully i'll be fine by tmr. tho i wudn't mind skipping stupid single blk pe with poon. with her idiotic olympic council crap.
added note: i seem to be floundering in a sea of hopelessness. like staring at the topics and wondering how i'll ever finish. or feel sufficiently prepared. which of cos doesn't help cos it gives me less incentive to get well. -clar thinks- why bother getting well when i can't finish it all anyway. silly way to think but i seem to feel worse after all.
this is absolutely queer
using internet explorer i see different comments and on opera i see something else
but anyway hallo jireh:)
sigh i hate promos. why must we have promos. my classmates [and various other frens] freak me out and i don't even know if i can finish everything in time and remember everything properly:( ughs. i will try my best tho.
and then today thanks to serene telling me this hilarious thing abt changmou during chem tut i started laffing really hard and then my tcher was like "[she cudn't remember my name so she went : u! nxt to serene!] i expect u to get an A ah!" then i was like. wat? and stared at her blankly. in which after a pause she sed "i noe u can do it. and serene too. so i expect both of u to get a's." hmm. okay. watever. if i remembered tt correctly. maybe cos i always almost don't listen to her tuts but just copy down ans when i see a need to. oh well.
and my french is slipping!! ugh. i need vocab.
well i'm in quite a foul mood. not much reason for it though. i guess i'm just being.. me. hah. so 1stly i was quite annoyed with the show. which was really not worth it. i really have no idea how pple can say its nice. guess its a diff of opinion. n maybe i wasn't in the best of moods when i went into the cinema in the 1st place. ah watever i shall just write everything i want to.
complaints abt tltr:
dialogue was very stiff. actually i was wondering why gigi leung was speaking like tt in the 1st part n wondering if it was just me when jane said the same thing. but i guess she improved after a bit.
it was really irritating the way they kept repeating what each other said. i mean fine u're trying to show they're connected and meant for each other and wat not but really.. that's really overdoing it. and tt also goes for the way they keep missing each other just by a few metres. and turning left n right. repetitions really got on my nerves after a while cos it got so predictable. also gigi leung just kept crying which was really annoying too.
hmm. yeah. so since the whole story was about how they kept missing each other by a few metres it wasn't particularly nice and the ending wasn't all that bad to me anyway. maybe i was just too numb by then haha. [apologies to pple who love the show i think i'm abusing it quite badly but tts just wat i think]
but there were quite a few funny parts n touching parts too. like the way they were apart going for job interviews n he was playing e song for her n she was reciting the poem. yeah i shan't elaborate too much
anyways okay so i underestimated and thought i could get to moelc in time. well due to unforeseen circumstances i ended up having to take a cab. i didn't think it would cost $8.60 *raging* but i suppose at least i got there in time.
1st part of french didn't improve my mood any cos i got back french prelim result slip n it was calculated wrongly [i didn't noe then] so i was quite angry at myself. and disappointed? in a way.
so anyway i should have watched pirates of the caribbean which at least everyone agrees is nice so it should be nice [hmm i hope] so that was a huge waste of time and money. but my rage kind of subsided after watching a bit of holland v haha.
