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. :)
