today is the day i've been waiting for - JLPT 2 paper!

preparation has begun as early as 3 mths back, tho it wasn't continuous. =P but the last few days i really stayed at home and study and study and study... gee~ i din even work this hard for my NUS exams wor. =P anyway, i'm really glad that i managed to finish studying all the 文法 (grammar)... all 186 of them! but could only remember abt half of the 5000 語彙 (vocabulary). really too much for my brain to contain.

reached the Changi Japanese sch by 8.30am cos dad gave mi a ride. lotsa ppl have already gathered by the gate waiting. it's my 1st time there and my 1st time taking JLPT, so a bit swaku. the number of ppl taking JLPT is really a lot, and majority are relatively young. saw a couple of familiar faces from NUS too. then the sch v big... got 2 swimming pools. but juz as i've heard, the tables and chairs all v small, cos it's a primary school after all. hee~ quite cute lah, the classrooms. also need to place our shoes on the shoe rack outside b4 entering one.

[9.35am] Part I: 文字.語彙 - i was happily doing the paper, realising tt i know most of the words. even if i dun, i was able to make an easy guess with the 漢字. felt v confident and relax.

[10.35am] Part II: 聴解 - the section i've been fearing the most. but after all my listening practice (aka anime & doramas =P), i found tt the speed wasn't too fast after all. was able to understand most of the conversation... but... but... it's always the very part tt the question asked abt which i wasn't able to catch. arghhh~ guessed my way thru most of the answers.

[11.35am] Part III: 読解.文法 - 文法 is the section which i've been studying so hard for, so i did it first for fear tt i would forget wat i've memorised. unfortunately i still forgot some, and it's also a lot tougher than i thought. *shake head* then on to the 読解 part, the most exhausting section with lotsa long passages to read. then i made a grave mistake... spending too much time of the first passage! in the end, i din hv enuff time to complete the paper and juz anyhow shade circles. *sobs!*

sigh~ i think i kinda flunk the paper. not much confidence of passing. yup i know tt i've said b4 it doesn't matter even if i fail, cos i can still take it nx yr. in fact, i'm now thinking tt no matter fail or pass, i can juz venture straight to JLPT1. spend the nx 1 whole yr to study like siao shld be able to make it. =Pp but actually, today i'm quite disappointed with my performance. cos i really did put in a lot of effort to study. yet i'm unable to finish the paper... sobs sobs~

was glad to see some of my fellow Hiroshima babes after the exam. always remind mi of the good old times we shared in Japan. anyway, as there were too many ppl waiting for the bus, we walked to 2 bus stops ahead under the great sun. aiyo~ why we always hv to do such pathetic stuffs? haha =P but got to admire the scenary of Changi... prison, etc. =P somehow the feel there is totally different from the West. ok, i swaku again. cos i rarely go to the East side mah.

then i went shopping with my limited cash, cos i'm seriously lacking in decent clothes. bought a skirt! yay... it's my 1st decent skirt. =P going to wear it for the interview tomorrow.

ok anyway... JLPT2 is finally over... nx up - AIC practical exam on coming Sat! still need to work hard!! Jia You~~!!
