I didn't feel very well when someone asked me a question this morning. It bothers me really.

BYE BYE N level English oral examiners! May we meet again! It has all ended!!! I was a bit tongue-tied for the reading aloud. But I think overall was all right. Let me tell you something which I feel so proud of,the examiners didn't prompt me at all!! I kept talking on and on for the picture discussion -I sorta cursed my brother during the picture discussion,I started off by saying,"as I scrutinize the picture....." and I continued by saying,"this picture reminds me of my brother whom I've last seen five years ago.....",however you interpret that sentence. It just sounded like a curse. Well,I was just trying to gain sympathy. LOL. I didn't know why I said that as well! It just blurted out of my mouth!I ended it with a statement which I forgot(haiyah I'm suffering from STM la!) and kept silent. One of the examiner then asked me,"do you have anything else to say?" no duh. ;P haha. They seemed quite pleased except for the older looking one. Quite scary. No smiles,no nods,no hmm-ing. no nothing.
First question of the conversation was,"How do you make babies happy?" (something like that)
I commented that we'd never know how to make babies happy because they couldn't speak,and signs of laughs,smiles and giggles are gestures that they're happy,but whether they are happy or not,we don't know,whereas if you asked how do you make ME happy,I would say like,getting straight-As..etc..I forgotten almost all. -.- Usually,people would make funny faces and funny sounds to the babies to amuse them. I also added that scientists could do research on how to make babies happy. However,it's not worth the investment. As they will grow older and if they remember why they are happy,they'll tell. lol.
Second was"If you have to take care of a baby,how would you make him happy?"
I repeated what I had said for the first question,and stated that the most important thing is personal hygiene and the environment and added that,I would take care of him and play with him. If I'm a mother and suffering from post-natal depression,I would not lose my temper and vent my anger on the baby.
Third was" explain how you feel when you first impressed somebody."
I talked about..haha! This is such a chicken-feet question..'coz I can fabricate stories! But I didn't FYI. I talked about the horrendous PSLE result and the secondary school result. What a huge disparity. Also,I talked about how my parents were impressed with my results.(which they never expressed,or maybe they did).
She went on and asked if my parents did praise me. I told her that my father is a man of little words. And my mom is not educated,adding also that both my parents are uneducated. They only knew that I improved and nothing else. You may not get the full picture here.
Last question,"do you think praises are important"
I said,no. They are just words from a person's mouth. What really matters is the encouragement and support given/received to/by peers/colleagues/parents/siblings. And sincerity.However,praises are only important to a small extent.

No use fretting over it since it's already over!! Well,according to Ms Sultanah,the trend of the oral is from easiest to the most difficult. I suppose the last day is gonna be the most difficult paper since the first 3 days were darn easy. I suppose they would test you on difficult topics like,environment,education..etc. yah.. so..GO READ UP!! Mine's over! Fret no more!

home sweet home. My fate is sealed.
