salut!!
heh. that's hi in french. i had my first french class today. it was quite fun, though the words were a little hard to pronounce. struggle. and there's no word 'it' in french. everything has a gender. chairs are feminine, and walls and ceilings are masculine. the OHP is masculine. a page is feminine. Le is the masculine word for 'the' and La is feminine version. so it's something like Le wall and La page. it's quite hard to explain and i dont quite get it still.
anyway, today's the first day of school. SIGH. i cant stand the way the school system works. it's screwed and problems are aplenty. [by the way, i think problems are masculine. haha.] how can they say that the classes are full when more than half of the cohort doesnt have enough subjects to fulfill the number of credit units required to complete the semester. how can they say that they dont have enough lecturers when in the first place, they take in so many people each year. sometimes i just feel like slapping all the admin people in the general office and smashing all the computers that allocate subjects to us. the admin people are given more than 3 months to do the time table for us and yet they cant do a good job, leaving hundreds of year 2s and 3s crowding inside the general office getting the forms to add/drop subjects. if they were to be less lazy for the past few months, all these chaotic things would not happen. students would not be bugging them for an answer and they would have to go through the whole process of reviewing our damn timetables again. and in the first place why do they want to have this stupid system in school where almost eveyone has different timetables. this just further complicates matters. and they make students worry about their future when it's not even the student's fault. we passed all our subjects last sem so this sem we have the rights to take all the subjects we're supposed to have. WE PAY SCHOOL FEES! how can they not give us the classes! haiya.. they're just so screwed up and not good at admin work. no wonder they're in design school. bleaugh..
i better stop talking about my school's administration if not i'll really slap them tomorrow.
i shall talk about happy things now. april's coming to an end, which means that may is coming. quite many things coming up in may. a few exciting birthdays, of which mine is one of them. a few great dinners, YMLF bbq and stayover at somewhere, ahlian's wedding [time to activate the other CHP], 2 public holidays!, gum surgery, youth aflame etc etc. oh yes. and the 3rd cousinc night out.
rights. me needs to rest now. work is over and now school starts. tired!! and i've got to go school at 9am tomorrow for genesis talk. sian man. think i'll just sit behind and fall sleep.
conclusion of the day: the french are nasal people
fact of the day: the french do not know why french fries have the word 'french' in front of it. just like french toast and french manicure. but they better know what the french revolution is.
Au revoir!
A bientot!
