The crucial moments...

Yesterday, 4th Nov, it was a mad rush of Chengyu, trying so hard to grabble everything and filling up my memory capacity.. Time really flies when you don't want it to..Although, I don't really want the Chinese exam to come, there is a part of me that compels me to get it over and done with.. I could only blog my thoughts today, partly because I was studying and partly because I couldn't get connected.. I think God wants me to study.. so I resigned to fate..

Today I will merge all my thoughts..

Yesterday, 4th Nov, I went to school to run the last leg of the race with Miss Yue.. I call it ' The final Sprint'. Oh, and I'm loving every moment of this! For in a way, this struggle has made me feel more alive than ever. I have no answers, but this is by far better than having all the model answers which aren't mine, and don't fit me.. ;-P

I begin to wonder why TPJC got so many mosquitoes.. I think maybe cos the school is green..( resembles a forest) At the benches, I got bitten once again... I seriously think they are attracted to the St. Ives cream I apply on my leg.

Miss Yue ended the lesson by telling me I need mental preparation... Hmmm easier said than done! ;-P

I think nervousness comes when you want to achieve something so badly such that you are afraid something will get into your way and make you fail… After all we are humans right? Humans are made to be ambitious so it is only natural to feel that way.

Miraculously, that night I slept soundly.. I think I was mentally exhausted. Miss Yue’s method worked. Now I know how to overcome Insomnia! *clap clap

5th Nov
Reality check…the exam is in 1 hour..
Ok! Don’t panic.. Somehow I just can’t seem to convince myself.

I hate sitting in the hall. I perspire so hard and the air con is at its full blast. I feel like I am living at 2 extremes.

I did question 1 for the compo about betrayal.
Once again, my story revolves around dance.. My story goes like this…
I was preparing for a dance competition with my best friend and she cut my dress so that I couldn’t perform.. She said that in a competition there would only be one winner and that winner would be her, I was too good and she was afraid to lose to me so she cut my dress… blah blah !
I ended with the sentence,” wo zui yao hao de peng you chu mai le wo!” Hoping that I won’t get out of point…hehe

Paper 2 was terrible. Some chengyu I studied came out in other parts of the paper but not at the multiple choice sections.. Only 1 came out.. something about being fussy..
The compre was comprehensible and so was the summary. There is this question in the compre that ask if the writer agrees or not. I didn’t know, so I took a gamble and said he agreed.. I hope it is correct!

Everyone said the paper was relatively easy except me. I think I have let Miss Yue down.

With a heavy heart, I went with Daijing, sarah and xiao ai to Expo for the food fair.
In the MRT, Xiao Ai saw her ex-classmates and she spoke to them. Sarah said she speaks funny.. haha

Guy: Bye! Have fun ah!
Xiao Ai: You have fun also!

There were a lot of old people and I feel as though I was competing with them for food. So I told sarah that I must say I am coming through.. But then again they don’t even know English so sarah said must say siam ah! I said must say wa lai liao! (hokkien for here I come) hahaha.

The place was so crowded.. Daijing and Xiao ai tried a lot of samples though.
Then we shared a bowl of sharks fin soup. Not bad but Xiao ai put a lot of vinegar.. So it was rather sour. At first I thought she was putting in light soya sauce..
We saw Joseph.. He was selling jam.. So funny!

There was nothing much there, so we went to the Airport. Sarah did not join us..
On the way to the bus stop, I saw lots of dead and squashed snails, Yuck!
Xiao Ai kept chanting saying she very hungry.. and we stuffed her mouth with mini donuts so she won’t speak. At the overhead bridge, we saw some police looking through video cameras.. Then sarah and dai jing wanted to be in so they walked very close to the camera. They didn’t know what the police were doing..hahahah

Xiao ai: A! what you all doing? Why walk so close to the camera? The police very smart ah! Catch people speeding like that.
*Sarah and daijing looked blur (they really thought they could be in crime watch or something)
Xiao ai: Huh? You all don’t know ah? Call yourself JC students somemore!
*Sarah and dai jing- embarassed

While waiting for the bus, we saw some huge white birds in an open field.
Sarah said the birds came from America.. Those are migratory birds.
Then we started laughing.. except sarah!

Xiao Ai always talking nonsense..
She said: By the time the birds fly to Singapore die already la! (* flapping her hands like a bird) The birds migrate here because of the bush and kerry war is it? The birds scared wait they (bush and kerry) shoot each other and accidentally killing them!
I: then instead of snowing.. it is raining with white birds!

Hahaha.. Sarah called her father just to confirm that those were migratory birds!

At the Airport, we did lots of reflection.. Through experiences, we learn about things and how to handle sticky situations..
Xiao Ai said I very analytical..hahaha.. And what I predicted came true the next day. I think I am highly psychic.. Once again, my mum went out and I had to eat out.
Haiz! Outside food is so unhealthy!
