Well, I've decided to start bloggin everi single day again. The reason is because it can improve my English and hopefully get me that A1 I need for the 'O' Levels. But I'm not going to write long entries like those of an essay. I'll try to keep it short and simple, and end with a quote each time. Hehe, not bad eh?

Anyway, my English oral took place today. I was really nervous and I was shaking when I had that 10mins to read the passage and see the picture. Well, I felt that I did pretty alright and hopefully I'll get at least a 35/40.

I started off my reading nervously, but I managed to calm myself down after the first sentence. I went slow and steady after that without much difficulty. The picture description was odd; I wasn't given the chance to start describing it. There was an immediate question. After they asked 2 questions, I started to describe the picture in as much detail as possible. I felt that I managed to describe the picture as well as the theme in the best possible way that I could.

The conversation was just me telling lies and bullshitting, haha. None of the things I said came out right. The question was something like that, "Have you ever been to an unexpected place?" I didn't know what to say, so I just did what I'm good at, which is crapping all the way. This was what I said "When I was young, about 5 years old, My parents took me to somewhere on my birthday, but they didn't tell me where, so I was pretty excited about it. We took the bus for awhile before reaching Sentosa. That was the first time I actually went there. My parents brought me to places like the Underwater World, Fort Siloso, Asean Village and many others. It was an enjoyable day. At night, they told me that they book a hotel room, so that my family and I could celebrate my birthday. That was totally unexpected and . . ." It was something like that, my crapping juz went on and on. Then, the next question came, "Will you prefer to go to a familiar place or somewhere new?" So my crapping went off again, "I'll prefer to go to places where I like, for example, beaches. The reason is because I can do my favourite activities there, which is canoeing and kayaking (now that didn't come out right at all. Since when did I ever do those things? L0L!). Although those are my favourite activities, I don't do them like every single week, it's more like a monthly thing (YEA RITE!). I like visiting places that I've never been to as well . . . " I won't continue as there is way too much crap in it. L0L!

The thing was that after every section, the teachers would say "Good." I have no idea if that's a good thing or a bad thing. According to Miss Tang, it's bad. So I assume that my oral can go either very good or very bad. Man, I don't even know how well I did and that is just so . . .(can't find a word to describe, sorry lah! =P). I realised that while I was speaking my natural accent was really strong. That was really bad, I don't want to sound like I'm some fake/poseur American, but I can't help it. It's not like I want that accent, but I don't know how to get rid of it. Maybe it might actually help me as I may sound more professional to them. I saw them discussing quite alot too as I was leaving, I'm just hoping that I managed to bag home the A. But what's done is done, it's over and I don't want to think about it any further. I'll just have to concentrate on the rest of my subjects for now.
