chinese
i love my bibi. :) he's so encouraging and cute. :)was just talking to yuklun about chinese characters. it reminded me of what happened this afternoon when i was on the bus home. haha. passed by this florist. and the signboard says (in huge chinese characters): 花生美集。so i thought. hua sheng? sounds like peanuts. then. wait. beautiful peanuts congregated together? that sounds wrong. so i took a closer look. crap. i was reading it in the wrong direction. i was supposed to read from left to right (which is how you read chinese characters in singapore, just like english). not right to left (which was how i read it). so it was supposed to be 集美生花. then i felt smart. that's it. now at least it's not peanuts. then, after five seconds (during which i was silently applauding myself for figuring out the chinese puzzle), i realized something-- what does it mean?!??!?! haha. but too bad. it was out of sight by then. and i still haven't figured it out yet. haha. this is funny. ooi. someone explain that to me. the peanuts thing make more sense actually. maybe it was an orchard growing peanuts.....
oh yes. depressing week. feeling quite terrible. think a lot of people don't really like me. :( sigh...
i think xinqin's gonna cut me out of her dance. :(
i'm going to fail french test.
