my mom told me to go down to the dining table to complete some chinese cloze passages, and offered to help me
with my substandard chinese.
i have spent 37 minutes checking out the meanings of all 4 options to 3 questions. everytime i ask my mom what a word means she goes "check the dictionary"
oh yay that helps!!! by helping me you mean ordering me to check the dictionary? whee i didn't know the dictionary existed!!!
then i got so frustrated with chinese i wondered why i wasn't born and bred in China. saves me a whole lot of trouble since mandarin would be my first language. but no not really i would struggle with english.
then i check out the meaning of 墨守成规 in the dictionary and i don't understand the meaning given.
so i asked my mother about it again and she said "read it out"
so i read. and i asked her for the meaning.
"well, does it mean ....?" (tinge of annoyance in her voice)
"if i knew i wouldn't be asking you"
"but i don't understand what you just read to me"
okay, i'm sorry.forget it. i resorted to checking the english-chinese dictionary and it says "hidebound by convention"
what on earth. why must they use such profound english?
yea i get that hidebound = conservative/narrow....inflexible?
and convention = 1. agreement/contract... 2. rule? 3. meeting?
maybe i should just take my pick and come up with my own definition of the.....what. proverb? phrase? o.O Narrow meeting!!
how am i supposed to know! i'm sorry for being so asinine and useless. oh gosh this is such a torture. i need my A1 for Chinese Os.
i've given up asking my mom. she's all like "can't you see i'm baking! why are you asking me now!"
so much for asking. ok if you're baking why did u get me to come down!
i still have no idea what 墨守成规 means. oh geez. 
doesn't help that my house has ALOT of distractions. including my mom's blending machine that's whirring.

p/s: hoodstars is so gay. i might switch:P

i feel like i'm about to fall asleep infront of the keyboard but i've got letters to pen so um, this is sort of a way to keep me awake.
this week in a nutshell: i am gifted so are you!!! it makes the previous days pretty much insignificant.
really, i'll choose the course over wasting time going to the marina barrage. anytime. or the URA (been there in p6). but anyway! we tried making the best out of it by entertaining ourselves. and i have a whole load of candid pictures in my camera of my classmates.!!!!
but most are of the crests opening at the barrage place.

the course has been fab and i like it i wish school would be like this everyday. i don't even mind going back at 9 and walking in the dark is FUN:) not spooky when u have lots of people with you... i've learnt too much to list and i can't be bothered, really.
cried a river today and i wont spoil it for other people:]:]




i love my friends they are (Y) <3!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OOMPA LOOMPA<3<3<3 i luv ya:):)
i have an urge to empty my bowels. i sound like eugene:P


p/s: carry on playing your mind games by your own, cuz i'm sick of them.

Thank you
