Oral and stuff...
I am typing this AGAIN. When I was about to post it, it said the page have errors, blahblahblah. ROAR!
English oral first. The text is about the holiday plans. The picture is about people camping. And for the conversation, it is about our CCAs. Basically, I feel that the Conversation just a bit weird. Doesn't fit.
When I was waiting for my turn(testing reading and stuff), and when I saw the picture, I was like.. OMG? Camping. Seems like I have not talk about it before. It is a one focus point picture. It has nothing much to talk about. Maybe safety? And that is what I said for my conclusion. "Safety comes first,....blahblahblah"
When 5 minutes is up, the teacher, Miss Nashita, took the paper away. It was not my turn yet. So I make use of this time to think about the question for conversation.
Qns: Have you been to any camping before?
Ans: 1) P5 camp(had fun, went sentosa, dragon boating)
2) DHS camp(the songs we played)
However, I did not hit the jackpot. What came out was about my CCA.Nevertheless, I was still able to talk(thinking on my feet heh). I even talk about the SYF. Only a bit.
At the end, when I was about to leave the hall, they asked my name. They might be impressed by my performance! Wohoo! Or they just want to know my name.

Now, Chinese Oral. I find I have done not as good as English. Especially for conversation.
During conversation...
T: Qing gao su wo, zai zhe ge tu li, shen me zui yin qi ni zhu yi de. (can you tell me what caught your attention the most in this picture?)
Me: Zui yin qi wo zhu yi de you liang jian shi. Di yi... (There are two things that caught my attention. First thing...)
~However, before I can say anything, the teacher said...
T: Qing zhu yi ting. Wo shuo ZUI yin qi ni zhu yi de shi.
Me: *shock, but still able to continue* orh... Zui yin qi wo de you... (the thing that caught my attention is...)
*talktalktalk*
T: hao de, ni hao you me you shen me dong xi yao bu chong de ma? (ok, do you still have anything to add on?)
~I always thought that we can say another thing that caught you attention.
Me: You. Ling wai yi jian zui yin qi wo zhu yi de shi... (yes. The other thing that caught my attention is...)
~Once again, before I could say anything, one of the teacher stopped me again.
T: *pointing to the picture* ni xian zai bu shi zai shuo zhe ge qing jing dui ma? (you are talking about other things, am i right?)
Me: *nod my head* dui.
T: na hao de, ni ke yi zuo le. (oh, ok, you may go now)
Me: *shock. very shock once again*
I then bow to the teachers and said thank you and good bye. At that very moment, I was quite reluctant to leave my seat. Why I am not allowed to say more than 1 thing that caught my attention? All the people in my group are only allowed to say one. Just ONE!
Some people in other groups can even talk 3! 3! UNFAIR!!! Mr Teo said we can say more than 1! But why now, we are only restricted to say 1? And even for other exams, I can say more than one. Now is PSLE, why can't we say more than 1? If other people in other groups can say more than one, I don't see a reason why my group can only say 1.

Anyway, once its over, its over. If I lost my marks here, I make sure I gain them back in other components.
After the PSLE Oral Examination, I had a mixed feeling. A mixture of happy and a bit of sad.
I feel satisfaction. All my hard work had finally paid off. I have given my best and I know I have tried my best. And I shall get the best marks. The feeling cannot be described. It was as if I have cross the finishing line of lap one. Dashing it with pride and joy.
And also, I feel sad. This feeling cannot be described too. It was as if everything was over. No turning back. It was exactly the same feeling as how I felt when SYF was over.
And thinking about this, I start to miss everyone. In a few months time, I will leave everyone here. My friends, my teachers, everyone here.
I will cherish the remainding days I had in Changkat. After that, we will not be able to see each other...
