hiya people! i'm talking to amelia right now on the phone.. =) oh and we're singing along to the song on my blog... haha yup, that's how loud it is... nah, it's just that amelia's ears are really sharp... like a dog's... haha! =)
anyway, i was just told that my english has gone all weird, so thus, i'm back as strong as ever, as true to my resolution as possible, which is to type good english in this blog. it'll make good practice after all. thanks mrs. koh!
do you know what i have realised these few days? i have not been speaking good english. (okay so today's topic shall be all about the english language) my pronunciation and vocabulary isn't very good, and i make grammatical errors... well the good thing though, is that i know i've made a mistake! =) however, isn't it scary when you realise your mistake only AFTER you've made it? i've had this thought before, about what would happen should my english fail me? i can't converse in chinese very well, nor write a proper sentence in that language, what would be the consequences of my english dying out too? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
now i'm panicking... okay this has just spured me on to start reading the newspapers and books again. all right i confess!! i haven't been as good a kid as i should have been. i did say i would religiously read the papers right? well that went on for quite a while, or rather heh, a week or too, but erm well, that kind of stopped. sigh... okay okay, i know i have to do it, especially if i'm going to do mass comm or communications or whatever it is i'm going to do...
on to something else now... hey i'm currently applying for my music exam! THE final grade oh no! i'm nervous! my examination is in september, and gosh that's really near... besides, i've jsut started practicing on my pieces!! i stopped my lessons in march last eyar you see, it was the O level year. i've started again in january but oh, i don't have a talent with music. i need a few months to perfect ONE song, and now i've got only 9 months to put together THREE songs, scales and SIGHT READING, which by the way, i'm TERRIBLE at. haha i still remember that my grade 6 examiner told me "loisa, you have to brush up on your sight reading. you make it sound so painful!!" haha can you imagine that? he said it straight in my face! how subtle can one be? haha it wasn't exactly amusing then, although now it is pretty hilarious... haha
okay i've got to go to bed now. i'm working tomorrow! do you know what is so strange about this "job" i've got? well i'm SUPPOSED to be a miniature real estate agent, which means i have to do viewings, research, type out reports and so forth, BUT i seem to be doing much more than that! let me tell you what i ahve been up to these two weeks. i have changed lightbulbs, fixed air conditioners, attempted to stop leakages, painted walls, swept and mopped floors, scrubbed toilet bowls, put up wall papers... i've even taken my own study table, chairs and plants to spice up other people's homes! now what kind of job am i holding, you ask me. all i have to say is, i'm a real estate agent cum interior designer cum washer woman sum plumber cum electrician and goodness knows what else? oh why not include receptionist and secretary into the list? sigh... haha it can be pretty amusing if it isn't so tiring running roudn the whole of singapore, and you wonder how i have the time to blog right? haha, it's because i'm waiting for my music application's email to come in! okay, so i registered on friday, and i was told that it would take 2 working days for the mail to be sent to me... but ah well, i'm an anxious girl... haha... =)
ps: HAPPY BITHRDAY ZHI YIN!!
