Singapore's Natural Education (SNE01)

Today, as a very guai student in school, I've learnt that:

1. When you speak in a Hongkie accent, you must remember your intonations.

To pronounce
a. 'desk', say "tehhsk" (the 'teh' must have the chinese di yi sheng)
b. 'and', say "ehnd" (the 'eh' di yi sheng again)
c. 'fair', say "fehr" ( yesh, u get the idea)
d. 'unsuccessfully', say "un-sut-set-fully"
e. 'very funny', say "veh-fuh-nee" ("veh" in di er sheng, "nee" in di si sheng)
f. 'probably', say "puhbubblee"

and this one takes the cake

g. 'Lobachevsky', say "Lobak-chor-skee" (sound so hokkien. Our resident Hongkie has been contaminated.)

2. Girl with flu and a red nose sitting next to me does not like to be shown on Channel Newsasia. =) Says her life's very private. =|

3. I agree with her actually. That her life's private is the only thing I know about her. =P Ok, fine. Not the only thing. But maybe the most personal thing about her which really holds true.

4. That same girl with long hair sitting next to me makes what would have been a usually boring class a lot more enjoyable. =D

5. That you should never take ANYTHING that says "Economics" thinking it will actually help you in business. Rather, it'll probably help you in the "micro"economics of your own pocket. (I took the chance during lecture, while half-snoozing, to charge my laptop battery. Got free (unlimited) supply, got personal (unlimited) demand, of course got equilibrium lah!)
