progress report epi. 3.....................FAILED!!!

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????

Both Sides of the Coin

Lets talk about THE SPRING .... again!!!....

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i heard someone shout...

went back to THE SPRING again yesterday...

ytd i found this...

Spring Time is Here!

The Spring is finally open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have been waiting and waiting for this day for almost a year i guess??? the jam was sooooooooooooooo long on its opening day (Thursday) and i really really wanna go cos i wanto claim my RM20 parkson gift voucher...hehehe...had to park at the shoplots opposite cos the queue into the basement carpark was much too long!

The spring here i come!!!! so excited!

i almost kissed the floor i walked upon...

u cant blame me u kno??? all those years...we Kuchingites had to pay air tickets to fly to KL just to get brand names like Padini,Esprit,Guess... just to name a few and to eat at places like Sushi King, Manhattan Fish Market...but now!!...now!!!....we have it all right here in Kuching!!!!

now there goes my bonus for this year and next year and the year after next.............its a girl's paradise and a guy's nightmare!!!...

girls, lets dump the guys at home and lets go shopping!!! =)

I smell a Rat!

When i got into my car after work yesterday...i smelt something unpleasant...
i endured the smell throughout the whole journey from my office to my home

and the first thing i did when i drove into my driveway was to get out and check every nook and cranny...my initial suspect was there could be a dead lizard in my car lor...or maybe someone accidentally dropped a piece of smelly tofu in my car

i flip over all the mats and sniffed and sniffed....nope no lizards or tofu

as i was just about to give up...i thought of looking underneath my car and lo and behold!!!!!! i saw something long,thin and black hanging out from under my car....next thing to do??? SHRIEKKKKKKKK

this pic only for illustration purposes.

nope thats not the tail..i was in so much shock i did not take any pic

it was a rat's tail!!!! O_O
the stupid stupid rat!!! of all the places to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Crime Scene

did you know how my dad got the rat out??? he had to unscrew my mudguard and so on in order to get to the stupid rat!!!

and the smell OMG............................and the worst thing was...the rat was already maggot infested -_-""" and the worst worst thing was....the rat's tummy had already EXPLODED (if thats the right term for it)

cant blame me lar...cos i did not drive my car at all during the weekends...the rat might have already been there on friday night...heeeeeeeee...i dont know

armed with TWO cans of aerosol spray i sprayed and sprayed the area ... :(((

my poor car........ no longer a virgin 'x'

i now have a vengeance for rats too...its 2nd on the list after cockroaches...i m so gonna get a cat!!

The Malaysian Sex Scandal

i guess that makes her his "personal lizard"???

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!!!

Pink Cotton was here!!...hehe

kekeke...new year's a coming....no more new year resolutions for me... i give up! =)

My Christmassy Post

Hello there............i m back again after the Christmas feasts and parties and presents =)

I meant to put up some very christmassy post few days ago but hmmm i guess the present buying got me carried away...

lets see now...i was at the Travilion Christmas Tree thingy 4 days before Christmas just to take pictures of the tree....here it is...

Nice and tall ...

and there were bubbles flying around...

after a while the "snow" came

the so called snow...which is foam la actually...

i was caught in the middle of the "snow storm" hehehe with my dslr....nooooooooooooo

i risked an arm a leg and maybe a dslr to take this pic...

hehehe it was the closest shot i could get

so should i still wish u all a Merry Christmas???

oh what the hey....its only the 3rd day of Christmas rite???

so...MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Tis the season to go shopping...

Look what i did to my nails yesterday!! =)

french manicure! this is my first time doing it...i think not so bad for a first timer...heheeh

so now when i go shopping i can flaunt my digits like this...

kekekeke...
have been so busy shopping for the past few days...
legs r tired...my brain is tired of thinking what to buy for who...
and my credit card n pockets also tired la..needless to say

so now i will need to have bread n water (maybe milk) for lunch for the next one month...

my shopping is around 90% complete already...10% consist of Mr Bf's pressie...hehe have to leave his for the last cos we were always out together when going christmas shopping mah.....so i hve one last day 2moro!

and now its pressie wrapping time...

i just love the colorful christmas theme wrapping papers....SO NICE!!!!
i just feel like getting all of them

so... armed with a pair of scissors,cellophane tape, penknife...i m ready to go a-wrapping!

I don get "JOKES" like these...

When an old friend come online and the first thing that came to his mouth was ARE YOU PREGNANT ALREADY??? VERY unfunny to say that to a single lady

When someone's reply to you saying u dont like wearing perfume is...THATS WHY YOU ARE SMELLY...UNfunny...

When a friend stares at your eyes (with a disgusted look...or was i imagining it?) knowing very well you are wearing color lenses (its only brown for g'ness sake!) and when you asks him WHY? he gives a sarcastic laugh n said nothing....UNfunny

When someone says OH MY YOU SURE PUT ON SOME WEIGHT!!!! SOOOO UNFUNNY!!!

When someone purposely go to a close friend of yours to ask about some personal info about you when he/she could very well have come right up to you and asked you...UNFUNNY!! and rude too!

When the only single thing a person ever asks you everytime and i mean EVERYTIME he comes online is...WHEN ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED??? once is enough!!! UNfunny!!!

I dont get jokes like these....DO YOU??? or maybe its just me being humorless???

now that's off my chest...lets prepare for Christmas! fa la la la laaaa la la la =)
