Received a hilarious call today from some CHINESE tourism agency. So the lady spoke this how string of accented chinese words. Took me about a min to register that her last sentence was she introducing her name. The whole front bunch of words was totally lost to me. Somehow, my brain just shut itself down each time people talk a long string of chinese words..ever since o lvl chinese ended. So anyway, i forced it to work, and since i totally didnt register wat she said earlier on, i gambled with '是' (safest chinese word in a conversation). Yea, so i ended up saying '是' all the way, while my brain ignored each and everything she said. After a minute or two, i just cut her through by saying that im a student. Then she was abit shocked for some reason. Then she abit siao, started discussing about school..ask me what time it is in singapore, how old i am, etc etc.. I was like 'wtf! i wanted to end the all chinese conv by saying im a student and she can pick a conversation based on that.. So she was talking, and i'm '是'-ing all the way. When the qn abt my age came, i replied the same(nt listening). And i think she thought it was '十'. Then she 'errr errr' and just put down the phone. Lol.
And after that call, the delivery man called. Made a big HOO HAA over delivering the thing. The thing is, i told them to come after 6.30pm coz i wld be in sch any time earlier, and they agreed. And then i received a call at like 5 15 saying their at my house. Thank god my sis is there, or else i will make them wait for me.
Haiz FASC(Fundamentals for Aeronautical Science) is an extremely dry subject which involves dreading calculations. Its really very frustrating. Eg. The leaf falls down to the ground. Windspeed is 20mph, leaf area is 30mm^2. Measure at which angle with respect to the three and how far away will it land from the three. One simple leaf wan to drop to the ground, an event which happens almost every second, have to trouble me by using vestors, 3x3 matrix etc etc. Damn jialat. And worse thing, theres a freaking lecture at 7.30am tmr. And i cant pon cause then i wldnt know where the leaf will drop to..with respect to the tree.
