Violent Workbook

wOOt!

went back to my mandarin class after almost 3 weeks of holiday (2 weeks declared school holiday and 2 days self-declared holiday)

My first chinese esssay ;)

So we were given photocopied exercises to do...arrange the pictures with a short description according to the correct order and so on and so forth lah!

then i came across a picture that doesnt seem so right...

hmmmmmm

it was about this stupid boy who ate too much and he became sick and PUKED a whole lot of stuff in bed...

can you see that??? lemme zoom in for you...

i bet there's carrots, watermelon, rice, cereal, vege and meat inside...

arghhhhhhh there goes my overactive imagination again!

since when did a primary 1 student workbook became SO GRAPHIC?
looking at the pic in class made me LOL-ed...it is quite disturbing actually...

My Life as a student

arghhh i m hopeless!! =(

Friday

As usual...went to my thrice a week mandarin class...and look what i learnt today...!!

"ni chi ta bian!"

translated (direct) : you eat shid

hehehehe...the teacher certainly did not teach us how to write that!
i just put one and one together and managed to make this sentence!

oh how proud i am of myself..! :P

anyway...after that...madam red sponge who just came back from macau brought me these!

yumm...

pls forgive my egg tart for looking a little squished...

it warmed up both my tummy and my heart =)
tq cola's mama!

i...

you

hahaha...now i know why the heart is always represented as a love shape ♥♥♥

ok i know the chicken heart looks a little gross...it was my dinner....

now stop looking at it!!

Something...

Enough of all the nothingness in my blog...

this morning i woke up and told myself...

i MUST post up something in my blog...

something...

anything!!!

MUMMY LOOK!!!

A Walk Down Memory Lane

Well well well...it has been my 3rd week at the mandarin class and i m still going!!!...

got improvement or not???

lao shi (teacher) kept on praising me on my improvement...ahem ahem ahem *kembang*

on wednesday i managed to sneakily take some pics while the teacher was busy helping another student...

look...!

no more blackboard leh!....now the students are using whiteboard with marker pens....tsktsk tsk how fortunate...

last time if you were caught talking in class the teacher might throw the chalk-dust-infested-duster at you and u will end up with a powdered face...and lets no forget that chalk might be hazardous to our health...tsktsk..how lucky the students today...

but this sight is a familiar one lor...

the teacher's desk with flowery plastic covers...heeheeheee

and another familiar sight...

the wooden tables and chairs full of graffiti and scrawlings such as PC LOVES GB ...or you could be using your ruler and cutting lines into the wooden tables...i wonder why???

i looked around the classroom and every single object inside it brought me back to days of old when i was still in primary school...reminiscing some of the events from my own school days...

and as i turned back to face my own desk...i looked down and the present was staring straight at me in the face.................

20 yrs ago where got use ciplak lesportsac bags to school neh????

My Nightmares Revisited

I was never Chinese educated...the ONE and ONLY chinese class i ever attended was during my kindy years where each chinese character i wrote was a big challenge for me...

so much so that by the end of my kindy years...me the 6 yr old girl told my mom that i DONT WANT to study in a chinese primary school...over my dead body!

my mom agreed maybe because i was a headache to tutor...wahahaha...somehow I just cannot make those chinese character strokes sink into my brain

last week...mr bf suggested taking mandarin night classes cos we r chinese after all...it is good to go back to your roots no? so i agreed ... 2nite was the first class

when we reached there...the place was full of white-haired uncles O_O!
its almost as if they were teachers pulled out from a chapter in my primary school life (17 years ago!!!!)

(we later learnt that they were retired school teachers)

and registered ourselves and paid for the registration fee.The uncle of a teacher pulled out a yellowish receipt book and wrote out our receipt...

doesn this look like a page torn out from your 20 yr old exercise book?!?!?!! i was like OMG when i saw the receipt book...where did he find it??? the museum

and look at the dollar sign ($) the last time we used $ was like when??? 1990??? DOUBLE OMG!!!!

So we sat down and he asked us to jot down the chinese characters from the whiteboard and we have to like write it down many many many times...

like so...

hahahaahahah...as i write every painful strokes...the memory of me learning mandarin in my kindy years hit me one by one...the agony...the horror!!!!

and to think that i m stuck in this class not for 1 month...not 2 months..not even 3 months .... its for A YEAR!!! and its not even once a week or twice a week...its THRICE a week....!!!

I M SO DEAD!

boohooohoooo MUMMY I DONT WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!
