Update: Chinese oral test is over. LOL. I literally traveled 4 hours in total just for a 5min oral test. The 7.23am train from Geelong that i took was delayed this morning and only resumed around 7.45am. Arrived Burwood campus, 10mins before 10am. Quickly rushed to the loo, then headed to the tutorial room. Few students were standing outside and the lecturer was there already. Im the first to go. So with my blank..unsettled mind..i went in.
First task: Monologue. Basically introducing urself..and i didnt know for how long. Fang老师，你好！ 我姓叶，叫叶新慧！我是malaixiya 人。
(Then i think i said, I came to Aus for nearly 3 years...which is out of the learning scope cuz i cant think of what to say)
我哥哥也是在audaliya. 我爸爸，妈妈在malaixiya。
他们很好。 我的专业是美术，我现在学习汉语。(making it up, all from the text book) 现在我很忙。...i think i said something like exam is coming (oso not in learning scope)
LOL he said it was too short...then i prolonged it..cant remember what i said.
Then he asked 5 questions:
请问您贵姓？(pretty much answered it in the monologue)
你忙不忙？
你学习什么专业？
ok forgotten the 4th one.
今天天气怎么样？
next is reading few lines from a selected passage..... lolz i was stunned for few secs. Have to repeat myself several times. haha. All these lasted for 5mins then im done. Geez. Was told that i got a Credit plus (C+) for our oral presentation. LOL i was expecting a D. The lec was like..oh C+ is not just an ordinary credit..if u do well in exams u can potentially get distinction. LOL im aiming for a HD tho..lol. ........................just make sure i recognize all the characters that was being thought.
Headed back to Geelong straight after that. Met up with one of my ex-housemate Quyen from Vietnam and we boarded the same train. She offered me two strawberries.
OMG. freshly picked strawberries frm the farm and its the sweetest i had ever tasted! ...and now...my pimples is more swolen..with pus ...eeeks. Its gonna burst anytime. 
ok goin to bed early for the first time.Next few days is gonna be revision marathon! ahhhhhhrrggg7:15 PM
