I EMBARRASED MYSELF IN CHINESE CLASS AGAIN ARGGGHHHHH!

忐忑
Now, how would you read this? First reaction is 上下，right? Who would ever think it's tan(3) te(4)? Okay what happened was, wu lao shi called me to read the passage in the textbook, and so I did. And then this idiom 忐忑不安appeared. I havent come across this word but I thought I always hear people say shang xia bu an. Thinking I was right, I continued reading nonchalently. And then everyone started laughing. (I could even hear Bridget's laughter.) Wu lao shi came to me and told me it was tan(3) te(4) and I was so embarrassed! It's like, havent I already embarrassed myself enough last year?

Last year, I came across this term 弟子规 or however you write it. I hadnt seen that term before and didnt know what it meant. So I thought it was a breed of tortoise or something and Bridget started circulating it around the class. And the another was the Chinese saying, "一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井绳". It actually means once bitten, twice shy. I thought it was "一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井条" and I actually wrote that on my script. Bridget, as always, laughed a lot, followed by broadcasting it to the class. Arghhhh. And now it seems like History is repeating itself. So much for learning from past mistakes.

Oh yes, Mr Swee revealed his age and as guessed, he's 21. He's going to USA to study in August and Im so envious because he's that only Singaporean who got admission this year. MY LANGUAGE ARTS TEACHER, YES. Gosh, I absolutely love him as a teacher and I totally dread Term 3 because he wont be in school by then. Besides Zhiliang, I think Mr Swee is the best teacher I ever had. I think many people dont really agree with me? But that's probably because you guys arent used to his way of teaching and his idea of independent-learning. If you do, you'll know what I mean by HE'S THE BEST TEACHER. I sincerely hope he's gonna enjoy his course in the USA for 4 years. All the best, Mr Swee! (:

Music today was fun. Bridget and I talked a lot and got caught many times. Haha since Mrs Kang separated us, it's only right for us to talk when we get to sit together. -ops- Oh gosh she probably misses my doodles in class and I guess I miss her singing in class? Argh now that we're separated, I can hardly teach her whatever Kimberly teaches me and she can hardly help me with my Math during class.

We had our 剧本presentation yesterday. Our group did a great job so YAY EVERYONE. Bridget, Daryl, Stephy, Reena and Melanie. We had an elephant of time
rehearsing at the romantic corner at zheng xin yuan. Laughed so much our stomachs hurt. I think Daryl did a superb job and YAY EVERYONE. Love yall to bits

Lastly, Jerrold is not cute. Hahahaha he innocently got banned from my cbox and that explains why he hasnt been tagging. I didnt ban him from my tagboard. I have no idea why he's banned.

Im gonna miss you guys terribly. The past 1 year has been a very enjoyable journey for me and I've had a lot of fun with every single one of you. Thanks for all the memories and I'll never forget yall, no matter where I am. Im sorry that you guys wont understand a thing at this point of time but we will break this news to yall very soon. As soon as we find the courage to. Till then, I love you guys!
