I did 2007 JLPT4 test!
I did 2007 JLPT4 test. Ahhhh I think I didn't do very well, although I got a secure pass. Here's the result.
Vocab - 96%
Listening - 70%
Grammar and Reading - 73%
Overall - 78%
At first I really freaked out because I thought you need to get 60% pass in EVERY SECTION. Because there weren't many qns, 2 more qns would make that 70% fall to below 60% (Listening). And the thing is that this is only JLPT4! I intend to take JLPT 3! Anyway when I got things cleared up, I think I should take JLPT 3 because there is this website that lists down all the vocab so I'm quite sure I can get near 100% like what I did for this test. So I can afford to do not so well in the test haha.

SPENDING
Woots! I bought many many stuff for JLPT Listening! It costs like 15, 20, 30, 30 respectively. (20% discount on top of it) Actually was supposed to mug today but was bored. So I decided to head down to that Taiwan bookstore in Bras Basah (Got to know them thru World Book Fair). That's when I bought all that stuff. I need those so much! When I tried the past year papers, I couldn't understand the Listening section at all! Heck I couldn't even find the question it was refering to!
Anyway, I found out that the difference between the 30 bucks and the 40 bucks (they look exactly the same) is probably because the more expensive one gives the CD!!! I got the casette tapes. Cause I didn't know the difference except that the price difference. (Thought they labelled it wrongly.)

Japanese study session at mee meep's
Yay finally a study session! But I was so tempted to show mm and nel yaji to kita and Iljimae. So exciting!! We had macaroni and salad but I think its not enough (Lunch is the fullest meal u noe.) Den mee meep told us of a show she watched the day before. Its kinda like Oliver Twist. Its called Bai Bai Xiao Xue. Apparently bai bai means byebye not white white (suddenly chi's cutesy byebye flashed into my mind. ok being random here.) Sounds like a touching story, will try it. (Think I saw it on crunchyroll). But mee meep tends to summarise at cetain points, quite lol. Anyway hope to have another japanese session again! Think I will sign up with Bunka. Hehe!
Tennis with ehjay mates!
Played tennis with aga, fitrah and yt! It was so overdue. but we met with some problems. First aga couldnt find her membership card. Thenwe decided to go to yt's country club instead. When the bus finally arrived, there wasnt enough seats for one more person! And the stupid driver dun allow us to stand, nor to share seat. wth! In the end aga and I cabbed there. Grrr. And the bus wait was so long as well. Can't stand such inconsiderate ppl. Rules are to be followed but some flexibility is expected as well right? The driver expected one of us to just go down. Mad la he. Can't stand the older generations. Somehow, it was exhausting. I dunno whether its the heat, the lack of sleep, or just tennis. And the stupid crow has to go "Ahhk! Ahhk! Ahhk!" when we did sth ridiculously wrong. Like from manga. When we went to aga's house, we tried playing her violin. Woots so fun! Feel like picking it up as well! Then we almost watched 2 girls 1 cup again cause Aga was intrigued by my post and Fitrah was so on. HAHA. Thankfully Starhub blocked that site. Anyway, I just realised that the laptop that she got free when she signed up with starhub is the model that I wanted!!!!!!!!!! Damn should have signed up then as well. On the other hand, its good I didn't cause it blocks some crunchyroll videos as well.
Super Junior Concert
Ok, I'm kind of regretting it now. I wanted to go because I wanted to go to a concert. But I have no idea how to sing their lyrics, (believe me, I've tried looking at the lyrics) and I'm gg with a group of ppl that I dunno except one. Im not gg to join them in their chase as well cause I wanted to ride an elephant etc. But when I checked the guides, it seemed that there were only temples! Like, quite boring. Then my father told me elephants are in Chang Mai. Daaamn...Im in Bangkok. So kinda rushing now, listening to their concert songs, memorising their damn-hard-to-even-pronounce-what-more-memorise songs. Hope everything will go smoothly. Hais. Anyway I got my mum to buy me a Canon camera! i think she thought I was gg to buy a damn exp one until I said its 300. 300 is for a580 and 340 for a590. Think I may just add in 40 more for a a590. Hais wanted to get a canon one long ago, even b4 my japan trip, but no cheek to ask. When my mum said that we alr have a camera I told her that it was a lousy one, although its I think 7 megapixel? Cuz the thing is that the brand matters the most. So I repeated the same sentence that I always tell her, "pa always get cheated because he dunno.." Ya he always get ripped off because he's such a computer + technology idiot. For me I got ripped off for this damn laptop.
Crazy speed at Macs??
Speaking of laptops, I brought my mum's 7 inch one out on Saturday, cause I had 6hrs to spend before gg to clementi cc for hairdressing. (P5 having NDP preview thats why). Omg Tudou.com loaded so fast at Causeway Point Macs! Something is seriously wrong with my connection. It slowed quite sometime ago, and now its really slow. Think my com is gg to die on me. ARGH!

iljimae the robin hood!
OMG. Youtube iljimae RIGHT NOW. Its freaking awesome. I just wanted to try this new drama uploaded on crunchyroll, and the first 10mins showed him robbing a rich man's house. So I decided to watch on. Then the next 2 episodes focused on his childhood, when he witnessed his father's death (he was framed and killed) and the whole story was very tear-jerking. Actually, I wanted to blog last night to complain, because after his childhood part, IT BECAME VERY DRAGGY. I wanted to kick his butt (ok, no offense to lee jun ki fans) and ASK HIM TO BE ILJIMAE ASAP because isn't that the title?? But I couldn't stop watching so I couldn't blog. I'm blogging now cuz I can't find ep 13 anywhere, even on the china websites. When china websites say they don't have it, there will not be any elsewhere as well. RAAAAHHH. Anyway, he has turned into Iljimae by now, and he went to train as he realised that his wits itself is insufficient.

Yaji and Kita
Ok, I just watched Yaji and Kita, The Midnight Pilgrims. Its like this gay comedy, and its damn strange. One moment we see Edo men and women milling around, the next we see two weird guys going "HAHAHAHA" on a motorcycle on a runway, then the next a test on pills/drugs??? Its strange and the jokes are ridiculously stupid. But somehow its just DAMN FUNNY. ahahhahahha! Nagase Tomoya is just hilarious! Can't stop thinking of his weird skipping. Somehow I think Ty will like it. HAHA.
And they got stopped for exceeding the speed limit of 40km/h on the HIGHWAY. LOL what the hell! Anyway hope you did spot Sawatari-san from Gokusen dancing in the background. He's the one with the Elvis Presley hairdo and is alway making trouble for Yankumi, To better aid your memory, here's his picture.
Anyway, speaking of ty, she sent a weird sms ytd, "Bukit Timah tmr?" and I was like what?? Sent to the wrong person? It arrived out of the blue. And at the same time I was smsing mee meep and Nellyn on Monday's study session at mee meep's house which is at BUKIT TIMAH. I thought, "Waaa! How come ty can guess what im thinking now. So scary!!"
Hate myself again for not taking up Japanese earlier or as my 3rd lang. Should I hire a private tutor?? I see how private tuition is great from my own exp. But the money....I feel liek going to Japan for a year and just mug Japanese to reach JLPT 1. But the money again.....I'm always not doing what I want because of money, making myself miserable.
