argh... what a day...
 
called up the person in charge of the japanese language placement test this morning to ask about taking the placement test to do japanese as a module to be told that since I got my JLPT 2 2.5 years ago and have forgotten alot of my jap already, I should go down and try to see if I can take the test..
 
so, I took a 1.5 hours trip down to NUS to talk to the teacher for 10 mins... to be told that since I can understand what she's talking about in Japanese and can speak Japanese... I am not allowed to take the modules because me being able to speak Jap will make the rest of my classmates stressed - because NUS students can write Jap but cannot speak and listen to Jap... (-_-''') can you imagine my face????!!!!!!! it was literally (?). then, i asked if NUS will have any higher modules to take because I don't wanna waste my 5 years Jap education... the answer is NUS doesn't have enough manpower to offer the higher standard modules at the moment and probably not in the near future either... (-_-''')
 
and the thing is... after 5 years of learning jap and intensive jap education from Takuya every week on his radio and tv programmes... how can I not be able to speak and understand the simple Japanaese that she was using to speak to me?? that will be a shame to my teachers and Takuya!! but honestly... I know I am still a long way to being 'good' in Japanese... just listen to the Jap of those pple who took A level jap... they can practically take a japanese novel and read it like a book. THAT's what I call being 'GOOD'.
 
so... there goes my jap education (I'm gonna have to study myself or something), and 3 hours of my precious day that can be spent at AH, or at least at home slacking...

then... O.K.... I went home... only to find out that the SEP language preparation class (French and German) results are out and I didn't get in... something tells me that it's because I have done Japanese before and went for a student exchange programme before... or are my results really that bad??? argh...
