Bimbotic Times

Gah!

Totally messed up my Chinese 'A' levels oral! This time, my hard-of-hearing problem really did me in!! Shat. I guessed the two examiners must have been stunned and shocked when this happened...

Conversation...

Teacher 2: Zui jing you fa song mian fei de huang bao...(Recently, there's this free huang bao)

After pausing for a while..

Tecacher 2: ni zhi dao she me is huang bao ma? (Do you know what is Huang bao?)

Then it dawned on me.

Me: Oh..wo zhi dao! Shi yellow pages dui ma?

Both teachers were quiet for a while

Teacher 1: Bu shi..ze xie bao zi is ke yi zhai di tie zhan na dao de..ni zhi dao te de ming cheng ma? (no..they are chinese papers which you can retrieve from stands at the mrt stations. Do you know the name of it)

Me: (Stupidly shaking my head..) Bu zhi dao..

...and the conversation went on..

What was I thinking?! Yellow pages?! I think they must have been mocking me inside.."this kind of standard also can come for 'A' level chinese oral?!! Please la..even my ang mo boyfriend can speak 10 million times better than this gong kia..hahahah!!"

I seriously heard HUANG BAO okay...

Well, it could have been worse. I could have answered..

Me: Oh..wo zhi dao..shi porn magazines dui ma?

I think they would have flipped.

And passage reading!! bing hai wan (marine parade) I read as bing hai dao!! Or, I could have said Bei hai dao(Hokkaido, in japan!)!! I forgot which one I said!! I guess bei hai dao would be worse..

And just now when I wanted to print mass movement geog notes, I got so fed up because the error in printing kept popping up..and I frustratedly asked my mom..

Me: MOMMY!! HOW COME CANNOT PRINT?!

mom then came forward to check out..

Mommy: Haiya!! You didn't connect the printer to the laptop of course cannot print la!

Me: (after checking out that I indeed didn't plug the wire in..) Oh yeah hor..

Ultimate bimbo day..
