Give me your vote to make this blogmosphere a better place. *twist* #justkidding

After having a luxurious hiatus, it's gonna be back to school and to updating this blog. 

Sorry for disappearing 'cause I was too brain broken from exams. 

So, anyhoots! I finished off my holidays with an interesting trip with a paintball game with the Boyf and his friends, finally starting on my driver's license and a beautiful event at Suntec City. 

Y'know, blogs nowadays can quite mundane. Like, O.M.G. check out my purrtey nailseseseses or this food needs a close up. Seriously, I'm getting bored of it. 

I'm gonna launch a series of vlogs that are different and fun! Most importantly, I will try my best to make it interactive. 

SO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT, WHAT YOU REALLY REALLY WANT! 

Just kidding but I really do wanna know your views and what you wanna see.

By the way, tomorrow's due for this awesome event I went for on Thursday. Beautiful GIRLIE things to see. 

MUST.CHECK.IT.OUT.KAY.GUISES!

Signing off,

Mandarin

.. scares me.

I teach Mandarin too but the really basic ones.

Because I speak with an horrible weird accent.

I didnt used to be scared of the language. As a Gemini, we embrace languages. I also remember how I got 80/80 once in primary 2 and my friend said I cheated -.-" Then, the language got harder and harder. Even though my method was to memorized the entire 华文词语手册 (ci yu shou ce) weeks before my Mother Tongue Examination, the language started to scare me.

Its like there are more and more words introduced to me in a span of seconds and these words were not in my 手册 or my textbook. I felt like I was in a maze and these words are chasing and I need to find a way out. It was in Secondary School where I began to shun the subject.

I cry while doing worksheets/workbook in every Mother Tongue lesson. I cry while doing my exam. As I advance into another level of Secondary School, I started to punch (toilet) walls. I was fucking frustrated at the language; at how I couldn't read those characters.

Soon, I lost all interest in this beautiful language. I picked up Malay instead. It was not a bad idea considering we were encouraged to be bilingual however, it made it harder for me to blend in with the Chinese. My Hanyu Pinying is still very strong (as it is English based) but I still get frustrated when comes to reading and writing.

Sometimes, I cant believe I made it thru Secondary School. I only gave up and took Chinese Language Basic (CLB aka Chinese Language for Bodohs) for O levels. I dont know where I stand. CLB was too easy but the GCE was too tough. I know my teacher was disappointed that I want to drop Mandarin. Mdm Peng, 對不起.

Now, whenever I kbox, I try to sing Mandarin songs. Most of it were already memorized by me beforehand, some I just "lala" over, others I just sing with the Analog on. Dont get me wrong, if Koh and I were together alone singing, I usually will pull a sibei angry face and throw the mic on the sofa when I get frustrated with not being able to read the words. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO USE THE NON SIMPLIFIED VERSION OF MANDARIN, runs through my head all. the. time.

Found an old old entry!

You will think that after 6 years of leaving high school, I will have old photos deleted not wanting to have any memories of it. Sure there were silly mistakes and things I've done that I obviously am not proud of. But those were my growing days. I learnt from mistakes (esp hair cuts) and thank the advices I got from teachers who showed their care/concern differently.

I've found an old entry on my high school memories and things I did when teacher is not around/bored. Long gone were the days I blog about my own personal life and its gonna change. Believe me. Like Charlieissocoollike, I am having a mid life crisis. Okay, he had a mid week youtube crisis.

Enjoy!







Remember your Secondary/High School days? Or your graduation? Pity me that my batch of graduates didnt have a Graduation Dinner or Prom or whatsoever. However, I really feel like going thru old pictures of my school days with you.
