flawed work of art.

Never hurry a person who is already nervous about a test on the day of said test.
After having much trouble getting to sleep, I suddenly found yet another familiar lump beside my feet in the wee morning. that lump being my dog, furbs. this time, I was wise enough not to kick it so as to avoid any growling of any sort. however, the furbster decided to annoy me by sniffing consistently in my face until I got up and washed up. the day was bright and early and most were still in bed, wallowing in the weekend sunshine, but for me it was different, I had to sit for my ielts test. for your info, ielts stands for International English Language Testing System. you're probably thinking... well, it's just English, A for Apple, B for Boy, how hard can it be? the bottomline? it's not as easy as you think. when I told mum that as she was nagging about me being late and going on and on about me getting up early so that I can relax and prepare my mind state etc, she didn't believe a word. she said that I was as cool as anything and that it should be easy peasy for me. I think she was just furious that she couldn't get breakfast earlier or something, but she made sneer comments like, 'I hope you fail' and what not. thank goodness Godpa wished me all the best before I got off the car or I think I would've cried. supportive mothers, I tell you.

Overall, I thought the test was alright. the module I thought was hardest - speaking, was actually one of the easiest for me. but I did get stumped when the examiner asked me a question on nurturing childrens' abilities. she asked me many things on children. some a bit weird. like 'what was the favourite time of day when you were a child?' erm. playtime? haha. that wasn't my answer. I had a very much more diplomatic one. I like my examiner. and I think she enjoyed my humour since she smiled and laughed when I did jokingly tell her some incidents. she seemed like a really nice lady anyways. I was lucky to be the 2nd on the list, so I finished at erm 1 plus? some poor souls had to wait there till about 4.30. *blogger refrains from going 'nyeh nyeh ni pu pu'*

as mass in church ended, I felt that I might cry as I bade goodbye to my friends. sigh. but no such luck. there weren't many emo-poppers around. apu was MIA-ing. that maggot. eesh. I still remember my vodka lime, apu!

I had a nice dinner. supposedly my farewell dinner, so mum allowed me to invite fang along. yay! I had fun at dinner. although I kinda felt bad when I overheard mum scolding kor through the phone cos' he couldn't make it for dinner. I hope kor doesn't hold it against me. I told mum it was ok, but I guess she didn't have the same sentiments as me. anyway, we had dinner at danga bay's Lazio. yeah, pretty high class. I offered to.. no, not foot the bill.. I offered to ask for the bill but because I was too engrossed with talking, my dad did it for me. hyuk. and he also foot the bill.


one for the collection, beb.
