Well duh!

darn! i think i did really bad for chinese oral! oral makes up an extensive component of 40% for the marks of my chinese EOYs. so im pretty screwed. lemme share with you why my instincts tell me so.

first of all, i read not fluently at all! agrh! im like that whenever and where ever im nervous, so i forgive myself for this fault.

secondly, i read a few words with the wrong intonation... haiz, it's always quite impossible for me to master the correct intonations for chinese characters. im feeling so lousy..

thirdly, during the conversation, my examiner, lin lao shi giggled several times eventhough i had not said some joke.. so that means she was laughing either at the way i pronounced the chinese words or i had totally used the wrong words. oh, im so goner!

fourth(ly), she asked about 3-4 questions in all... all you know what that means...

fifth(ly), there was a question i couln't catch very well, i dunno if it was my hearing problem or whether i really didnt understand it. haiz, she had to repeat it for about 3 times before i finally understood what the question was. i think she was getting impatient!

finally, although i can accept that my reading's horrid and my use of words isnt that great, she hinted that i had not given enough info. she asked me that dreadful question at the end, whether i had anything to add on. n i was was like HUH! and my mind went blank as sheet. all i could muster was a no. heck! so there goes my marks, downer and downer! if you dunno, when the teacher asks that question, it means that you had not said enough and you had to really add on. im very sure that i had said whatever i knew about the matter. i bet i said all the points, but sadly, i couldn't express them well at all... haiz...

okay, depressing things aside, let me talk about something happier.

this week, without anything, esp exams and er jie to compete with me for the com, i have been fantasizing with philippine movies. oh, i noe that's so bad cos i have been watching quite too many of them through this week. the first movie i watched was really touching and pointed to me the reality that married filippino maids face when they go back to their homeland. the movie's called anak, watch it and you are really in to shed tears! p.s, watch it with a box of tissue beside you and water too, to replenish your tears. yeah, you might think that im exaggerating, but no, it's really to that extent! haha, maybe you counld say that this movie made me sadder than happier. but the end was really fulfilling and thus i was happy in the end!

majority of philippine movies are known to be romance themed, and i have really enjoyed the movies that i've watched so far. good stories, good acting. the cast look really great too, the girls are eye-candies and the guys are just cool! haha, but i noe that it is rather unrealistic to have such a perfect match for every relationship, so im still on my right mind. :)

okay, im off to watch my show. :)

Mental health day

today in school, it was announced that next week's the health week for school. so we will be having health 'enrichments' in place of morning run. yay!

today when dad came home, he shared with me a farnie joke! since it was supposedly the mental health day today, his office had this joke circulating around and my dad shared it with me.

in the mental institute, there were 2 patients, one boy and one girl. one fine day, they went for a walk around the institute. they came to a pool and the boy got in, sadly, he did not know how to swim and was drowning. the girl jumped in and saved him on the nick of time. the following day, the matron of the institute came to praise the girl for saving the boy. and added that the girl was now declared mentally stable for saving the boy and could be discharged from the institute. however, she said, it was unfortunate that the boy had hung himself in the toilet. the girl ingenuously replied, 'oh, he didn't hang himself, i hung him there to dry! by the way, when will i be discharged?'

LOL this is so funny!

Vitas

vitas is just one of the best singers. a pity that he's russian, so majority of the songs are in a alien language to me. he's a great singer man. i just heard one of his songs and now im hooked on him. lol
i never knew the song ave maria, but after hearing vitas sing it, i love it! his voice heavenly. he also puts in a lot of feel into the song! :)

Madness

this a super freaky, the guy is crazy! i dont care if you dont understand what he's singing, it's france i think. just listen!

it makes my hair stand....



this guy's vitas. his song is really nice. well, it's supposed to be something like the phantom of the opera kind of music. yeah, so he can really sing. :)


haha, nat this is the taiwan vitas! you might find it farnie..


this guy's adam lopez, and he is currently a Guinness World Record holder for singing the highest note by a male — a half step above the C in the 8th octave (C♯8), or a half-step above the highest note on a standard 88-key piano.
