oral

today found out during el elect that our english oral exams are coming real soon. like in around 2 weeks time. *sad* my english sux lor..and the fact that i speak chinese at home doesn't help. Being quiet almost all my life doesn't help either. I can speak english, just that if u just give me a topic I can't. I blank out and start to get panicky. Sometime I know what to say but just can't put it in words. Like today, even the China students can speak better than me. lol.

Like the topic we were susposed to talk about, susposingly a easy one. Things u like and hate about your Homeland. Singapore. Things I like: 1) the food. the different culture and different food like roti prata, chay kuey tiao, and the typical coffeeshop food: mixed veg, wanton/fishball noodles, etc. Generally the different variety of food is never-ending, there are kopitiams, fastfood, restuarant, cafes etc. u will nv get sick of it. I also like that the food are generally quite healthy, unlike shanghai and the western countries: the food are super oily. eww. anyway there's this eat more fruits and veg plan, less gravy and oil campaign the government is implementing, so I like the food being reasonably healthy.

That's like the only thing I can think of that is real but since we're susposed to come up with 3, I like the shopping malls here too. Orchard Road is famous for it's rows of shopping malls and expensive branded goods. Some have been here forever, like Far East, and some recently built, like the Heerens. Orchard Road is also a tourist attration and a place for teens to hang out after school and for couples to date in the weekends. It is also a place where u can really feel the Singaporean kiasuism in getting the best bargains in Great Singapore sales and the busy life of the city, especially at night in the weekends.

Ok, things I would not miss if I'm out of Singapore. 1) The weather. The weather in Singapore is really too hot and humid. Especially for a person like me who sweats very easily and cannot stand heat. It is like summer throughout the year. I would prefer the weather of some other countries with the 4 seasons. (ok how to crap more?)

2) The stress. I think Singaporeans are very competitive and stressed. Singaporean's life are always very busy and filled with activities. In work, businessmen competes against each other to clinch business deals and to earn more money. In school, students study in school for the whole morning and afternoon only to continue studying at night back at home, causing them to be stressed and fall sick easily. Although only with competition will the society advances, I hope that there would not be too much competition as it may cause the adverse effect.

see..actually I can crap one..kind of anyway. But I can't do it when told to do it in class!! Here I just typed as my thought flow. Help. I think I'm gonna do really badly for my orals.=(
