Merry Christmas

I went out with Ivy today in an attempt to shop for christmas presents... its super crowded at vivocity and i wonder why is everyone so free on monday afternoon? haha in the end, i managed to get my fst exchange present ready and Ivy bought 3 bags of goodies for the children at hypermart... and its very torturing actually to buy presents for exchange when you dunno who is the receiver... but then, even if you know who to give, you might not know wat to get too... i am so troubled over the presents tt i decided to make it simpler and not give unless we are meeting for present exchanges... =p

my 2 year old children are so cute... haha they tried to sing christmas carols during class last sunday... even though its bits and pieces here and there, i really had a great time with them... its fun to see them grow! after one year, they can speak so well... i am so glad tt they are not blabbering so much now... haha

wondering how i am going to celebrate my christmas? haha though i can pretty much predict how issit gonna be like... but still, maybe its different this time... anyway more importantly is i have the chance to spend whole day with him! (i hope so) =) still feel happy and satisfied by just staying beside each other to spend the day... its ok to be boring bcuz there are still so many days to come... v(^^)v

JLPT level 1

so rare to wake up on a sunday and not having to go work... i quickly resumed to my studying area and was busy reading up the last few sets of grammar notes which i haven finished... :s after that, i went bugis slightly earlier to meet minhui and pauline for lunch at ajisen... den i discovered tt oh no! my da yi ma just came?!?!?! wat a timing to come? i was mentally prepared to be aching from the cramps during the exam... =(

1. Vocabulary - wat can i say? for certain sections, i was quite confident in doing... i know the words well and for those tt i was guessing their pronounciation, i was certain tt my answer could possibly be the right one... for the ultimate section of picking words that have the same kanji in different context, its a total flop... as usual, i could not recall the words which i tink must be words tt i nvr use or seen before? i just hope i can get over 70 marks if possible...

2. Listening - its a total mess! hahaha i did the past yr paper 2004 and i did pretty well... the reason being some of the questions were used in my japanese class... but this year's listening is really a killer... questions with pictures - the speaker was so fast i hardly catch anything?!?! esp the news reporting... sounds like wat u'll hear on japanese tv!!! questions without pictures was easier... at least there's more questions tt i tink i know wat they are saying...

3. Grammar - thanks for kanzen master guidebook... if not i wld really die for this paper... as usual the first passage is a killer... i took 20 mins to figure out wat the hell is the writer talking about? its so chim talking about ppl trying to track time becuz we cannot visualise time... something along tt line... the other passages were quite okay... at least from my point of view, i understood the passage... just hope i dun choose wrong answers... the grammar part is difficult for me... hm... some questions i wonder if i din study or i cant rem, in other words, i cant answer cuz i dunno??? just anyhow choose an answer... of cuz wat i studied did came out as well... but not alot though...

i cant stop myself thinking about it... whether i would pass or fail... but anyway the result will only be out in mar... still a few more months to wait... :s
