its about time..

i took another exam last saturday..

and im proud to announce that i passed.. with flying colours.. ok.. not really flying colours.. but 73% to my standard is really really above the par that i've set to myself.. its one of those exams that i really though i'd fail..

see how i surprise my self sometimes..
im so very the 'masuk bakul angkat sendiri'...
muahhahaha..

...... its the 3rd exam i took this year.. and its the 3rd one that surprises the hell out of me.. the 1st 2 are for the diving cert.. (kira exam juga la tu which i got 98% - again... 'masuk bakul angkat sendiri') and truthfully, i dunno why am i exposing my self to examination when i can enjoy non-excessive-stress life to the fullest..

1 thing about me is that i hate classes.. the whole thing is just excruciatingly painful.. i can barely concentrate.. my concentration all goes to my eyes.. *jangan tutup mata.. jangan tutup mata* while trying so hard to keep my biji mata in place and not having it rolled to the back of my head..

it has always been like that since last time.. but surprisingly my right hand has its own mind.. it keeps on jotting notes whatever the 'laoshi' is saying.. word by word.. those important ones la.. yup somehow, my hands managed to pick up which is important.. and which is not..

so ganjil my hands..
hmmm.. i wonder if thats a good thing.. might come in handy one day.. *evil laugh* - if u know what i mean.. if u think 'ewwwwww' then i cant help ur thinking..

why so very the dirty one??

anyway.. just to give credit.. i wouldn't have made it without the help of my 2 beloved sisters.. for translating.. and for teaching me to pronounce words i'd rather not pronounce.. and for showing off their ability to do what i hoped to do one day..

wo jiao selina.. wo shi ma-lai-xi-ya ren. wo bu xua sheng. wo gong juo le. wo de gong juo hen mang. youshi bu mang. wo yeu liang ge waiguo peng you. yi ke shi meiguo ren. yi ke shi zhonguo ren. blah blah blah blah blah blah xie xie..

crap!!! and that is only 5%.

mind you.. when u read it.. read it without the intonation.. its all straight intonation for me.. which could then totally mean a whole different thing..

hahhaaha

ooya... didnt i tell u what was the exam all about??

hahah.. it was mandarin for beginners.. and no.. i still cant converse fluently - and not even 'not-fluently'.. speaking mandarin with me is like cracking the code.. nothing like the da vinci code.. but its code all the same.. pinyin is totally out.. spelling is out..

i had to repeat EVERYTIME to my friends and my sisters here.. its BEGINNERS LEVEL-la.. no hard core conversation.. ok maybe there is.. but NI HAU MA.. is not conversation..

but im good to go to the next level..

so.. again next level is only equivalent to darjah 2 punya level or even lesser than that.. so, dun go conversing in my in hanyu just yet..

wo bu ke yi chiang hanyu..

hehehhe..
in time people..

in time.
