my first language is bringing me down real bad :(

teacher said to buy eng tys from popular. 'kiasu' me, knowing that getting 4 A1s for sci&math "wldnt be gd enough"(say i'll Ace them; which i wld work very hard towards to), went there straight after school and my did i get a SHOCK.
->there were 1million and 1 assessment books on improving english. from 'writing rites' to 'improving your vocabulary' to 'model composition writing skills' etc. i flipped through some and : whoa. theres actually SO MUCH to the language! i felt so foreign to it. maybe people have a perception that just because our first language is english, we dont need practise (or is it practice? hmmm)

anyhow, i am eternally grateful to my english teacher for sacrificially sparing us some of her precious time to give us extra help and homework so that our power of language with be strengthen(i'm not being sarcastic) i guess a Singapore-university-student-to-be(i will work towards one) will have to be fluently equipped in one language or another; i shan't even consider the odds for the other option since it'll probably be too hilarious.

let's see, with my bad command of language, the next subject i have to tackle is Literature. but i shall refrain myself from whining because, i really love that subject.

(since tricia asks me to recount..)
pe was fun w cao&cass. tricia & i ganged up against them smallies. intention being: to trash them down real hard and amuse ourselves by watching them helplessly try to hit the shuttlecocks back. well, results were not desired, but i'm VERY sure if tricia and i were more focused.. HA. HA. and if we were not facing the stupid walls (actually they weren't exactly walls. they had so many sq holes. it's probably to tease the eyes of badminton players that were facing them; like me. ah! it's a conspiracy between them walls and cao&cass. "TSK TSK")
:)

I thought I will encourage you guys as you train for the coming races and the Nationals.
