okay, i'll update for the sake of keeping the blog alive
=)
latest updates:
decided to go for the oral
Tamil teacher looked me up halfway through school just to wish me luck,
telling me to read the little letters I've learnt
(this is just between us yeah? i totally forgot the alphabets, or whatever you call those curly things!)
shannon ( he's a guy, stop thinking it's a girl!) looked me up when i was having F&N
turns out they're letting off way WAY early,
at 12.20 -.-
my oral starts at 2.15
so i met shannon outside his class, and we proceeded to chong pang to get our asses off to Christchurch
damn, thank god he was there!
so many other people.
and i swore if shannon wasn't there I'd just leave
we were seated in two's.
and there were two groups
the school was freaking complicated
the guy kept saying stuff then changing his mind,
oh wait, that happened like... 10 times?
then he was calling the names to see if we were seating according to the sequence given
and me and Shannon realized,
EVERYONE had Tamil names
karthik,gopal,muni(?), letchmie,bala
etc.etc.
and we were like the only ones with english names
lol
when the exam was ABOUT to commence
some skinny dude, sporting a thick moustache strode in with the
*indian accent* "yeah! i'm hip. i'm cool" look
me and shannon burst out laughing,
and got hushed by the teacher
okay. silently,
i was praying he wouldn't be my exmainer.
i would be too distracted looking at the thick bush on his face!
guess god found it funny,
and decided to place him and another fat dude with a round beer belly
and a disgustingly tight baseball cap to examine me.
the school tried to save time, so two people would do that silent reading thing
and the teacher found it fascinating that i was examining the prayer room instead of reading
lol. like what the hell.
i could only identify the first word.
great huh?
the first word had 2 letters!
it was like the only word i could remember
it says one. or something
it occurs in many reading thing
like, one day"
then the second word i could only identify the first two letters
THEN CAME THE NIGHTMARE!
my turn was called.
i made my way to the other end of the chair-fied area and the first thing,
i started laughing
the guy called me prasilla
and went, something something in tamil.
i could only make out the two english word he said,
pracsilla -.- and i.d
so i was like already laughing,
he had the typical indian accent, and his head was wobbling to the left and right
rofl.
i was like wth! so i just shut up tried stifling my laughter
then he said something in tamil and i was like,
*blink blink
then the bushy moustache said okay, read
and i jut went "oru"
and "uuuuhhhhhhhhhhh"
"pa? me? ma?"
sorta like guessing
then the examiner was like,
"its okay, read letter by letter"
and i started laughing
then they realised i couldnt read
so the baseball head suggested to go on to conversation
damn, his way of speaking tamil damn fast
either that, or i'm just slow
then i didnt even understand what he said
so busy moustache decided to interpret,
he said"*tamil word* means help
so i was like
"oooooo"
then like 2 secs later
"wait, help what?"
then they decided i was hopeless and said i could leave
but the funny thing was,
they were discussing to award me marks for effort
they were saying that infront of me-.-
shannon was laughing his ass off.
he said he should've done the same thing too
they told him that they were worried for me, since i could only say one word
lol
whatever
like i said,
i have my defects
me and shannon were arguing why chinese couldnt be our second language
i mean, i'm so much better in chinese
zZz
