Even though life stinks now but i still had a few good laughs today...

Pascal (our french teacher) instructed a guy to sing faire Jacques (not sure whether i've spelled correctly), a nursery song. There was this sentence in english means 'ring the bells' but the guy sang as 'ring my bells' in french.

Pascal: eehh.... im sure you don't want people to ring YOUR bells.

The whole class burst out laughing. Pascal, fyi, laughed till his face turned red... ...

We were thinking of famous french literature to be done for our presentation. 'nutcracker' came out and my roomie though nutcracker is a story of ------>bird!
LOL!

Alvin told us that fairy tales were originally gory stories. The stepsisters who couldn't fit into the glass flippers resorted to chopping off their heels and toes in order to fit into the glass slippers. I believed cause i thought it's pretty acceptable as people from the past, those victorian ages (actually i'm not sure of the era), there was public beheadings and the heads displayed along the bridges.

But alvin proceeded on telling us that cinderella was actually a guy!! AND we observed one minute of silence, too stunned to reply. Because for once, i really believed what he had said. AND during the one minute of silence, i was in a moment of anguish because i couldn't believe my favourite fairytale character was actually a guy!!

Anyway, Cinderella is a woman!!

I'm endeavouring my best to be optimistic and happy with regards to life. Thankfully, i get to have few good laughs everyday.

But touching on a more emo side, i'm stressed. Exams are coming. I don't really understand some lectures. I'm afraid i can't catch up. Plus my lab reports are piling... Adding on to my stress. French quiz, french presentation, lab reports. Plus my elective which i had neglected since i was pretty much concentrated on trying to survive for my cores. All these are weighing down on me. And i hope i don't snap and be able to withstand them all. Tension tension tension!! BLEAH!
