Elk... Saturday, July 09, 2005

Ok, so malay oral officially sucked. It was so bad i could cry. But of course i just smiled like an idiot. It was like watchin a plane crash. Or more recently, a bus blow up. Yeah. It was over before it even started. The reading went quite ok i guess, but i made a lot less mistakes while practicing. Nervousness is such a pain.
The conversation, however...to the invigilators, it must have sounded like i just started learning malay last year. I had all the ideas in english and couldnt translate them or i just forgot terms in malay that didnt have english translations either. I was on the fence. Either gape and um like a moron, or use english. Of course for question 1, only option 1 was available. For question 2, i was so gonna jump out of my skin.

And later, after the exam, i thought, hmm, i fell like havin some refreshment. So i came to this fruit shop, picked out one of those baby coconuts($1), and gave it to the guy to open la. So he unwrapped the plastic and started chopping. Only then i realised all i had with me was 20cents. Thank god the guy was about my age and kinda blur, and didnt penetrate the coconut properly yet. I practically yelled "wait!" , throwing my hands out like a mime, ran through something that supposedly said "i forgot something i needed to buy" although i knew i was somewhat incoherent, and ran away. At least he didnt look angry. Maybe it would take a few moments before it got to him. Heck.
