On a scale of one to five (five being the most proficient):
English: 5/5
Chinese: 5/5
Japanese: 3/5
Teochew: 2/5
Malay: 1/5
Swedish: 1/5
And write a paragraph in Swedish apparently, since the last section of the paper is to write a postcard to a friend about Sweden. This part stumbled me a bit 'cos the earlier parts were super simple questions, but this is how my postcard went:
Hi! How do you feel? (Apparently I mistook "How do you feel?" for "How are you?" :S To me it has around the same meaning). I am good. It is very windy in Sweden every day. I live in Gothenburg now. It often rains in Gothenburg. It is autumn now. I meet my friends at a cafe in Haga every Tuesday. We like to drink coffee together. (Lol).
(And not knowing how to end off, I just wrote --- ) See you!
LOL. This just reminds me of Japanese tests back home (but of course I will write something more profound lah).
Anyway, the rest just flew off to London tonight, making me a lonely soul for the next 3 days&nights, but then again I've got the first final exam on Friday, which makes me a should-be-hardworking soul as well.
Lionel came over this morning to take the night flight out and in just one morning we kind of decided on our January itinerary already, wheee! Now all we have to do is to convince S, and fit budapestzagreb&kiruna in. Or at least the first two.
London was really tempting to go to again, all because of one thing (since I've just been there in August) --- the CHINESE FOOD zzzomg. Dim sum, egg fried rice, chili dumplings, green green kailan with mushrooms and whatnot, even sub-standard porridge! :'(
Sometimes I suffer from serious acute withdrawal symptoms. I will start conjuring up my lunch and dinner table in my mind the first few days I return to paradise of good food called Singapore. And omg I will tell myself to stop thinking about it and get on with life. Then I will start cooking up a storm in my mind thinking of what to cook for the next few meals and what ingredients I would need and make a little mental note and calculation. For example, I still have 3 pieces of salmon and 2 chicken thighs in my freezer, so I will finish all these in the coming days, and then for the next week I will buy frozen dumplings from the Asian food store and eat them for (almost) every meal the next week. My stream of consciousness goes something like that. :)
