hHmz today's the first day of term3. Think I was in a foul mood today..just wasn't my usual self. People would usually gain weight during the holidays, but I do think it's the other way round for me! But it's really not my fault, I can't stand home cooked food. First lesson we had was with Ms Oh the relief teacher. Gosh she was so grumpy and fierce, and she's only teaching P.E! Not as if we needed to train for NAPFA mah..
The rest of the day was still ok..but I was dozing off by A.Maths lesson. And it's high tide today..arGhz..even worse. Then the story doesn't end here..we had our Prelim Oral today. Of all teachers I had Ms Loh as the examiner. Heard from my seniors she was a strict teacher..she even criticised ShuYi the top N' level student when she took her for orals! I was already freaked out b4 I read e passage & looked at e picture. And I was one of the first few..wasn't mentally prepared at all.
Don't know about the other teachers, but Ms Loh was rEalLy critical. She was so particular on pronounciation & grammer. During the exam I pronounced the word "origin" as or-ri-gin, but she corrected me on the spot & said it was supposed to be o-ri-gin (the stress was on o) I was like...erm....okay......but it was rather discouraging to tell me that straight in my face for another 2 times. or-por-tu-ni-ties is supposed to be o-portunities..I was like wondering y was she so particular on stressing the "o". And it's not flame-ma-ble, it's phlegm-ma-ble. Whatever...she even noticed whether I used the correct tense during the conversation!! Gosh I really do not have high hopes of scoring high now.
But I must say that I was rather calm, though a little nervous. hHm cos I was like praying to Him at the last minute =P Of course I prayed for a nice & lenient examiner..that I could speak fluently..blah blah...but most importantly I promised Him that no matter who the examiner would be, no matter how difficult the picture or conversation topic may be, I would give off my best just for Him. I hope I did.
Pray that tomorrow can be a better day. At least the Eng oral is over, one load off my mind. Pray that the chinese girls will make full use of the remaining few days to preprae their MT Oral. =P jiayOu!!`
i left my footprints (:
