(translation: How do you do? my name is pohyee. Nice to meet you)

HIeeekk !!! i signed up for jap class n the sentense above is officially my 1st jap dialogue..The course consist of 32 hours in total,cost me 341 bucks.

interesting history about japan:
During the Shih dinasty, Qin Shi huang -1st emperor of China- he made 700,000 workers to built him the terracotta army(兵馬俑) to "teman" him after his death ..swt , burn scholars alive, afraid that they would stand up against him one day. N so, one fine day, this smart ass decided that he should live forever so he asked his followers to find him an elixir of life, by hook or by crook. The followers agreed, yes they AGREED but they convince the emperor that to find the elixir, they would need 200 smart asses (female & male each 100). wish granted, they set off , to a island, nvr made it back to China. Y? they basically made their own babies, dozen become bunch, bunch become group, then community finally become a nation, even invented their own language. Poof-- Nihon ( japan ) was born..

Em,back to my class. n For the next 1 hour, we basically look at the textbook and repeat after sensei Tani's pronunciation ....nothing much..UNTIL these 2 words appear..

A)Oboete Kudasai- means " please memorize"

This phrase went almost instantly my head..Y? lol, cause i took oboe as my minor instrument in academy... which look sumthing like this.


Unfortunately, after class i went n visit my friend Ying in Taipan. SHe asked me what i learnt in calss today. Without thinking i said

Oboeteh kaNasai ................ ( Brain damaged =.='' ..)

B) Osutoraria- stands 4 the country "Australia"

the pronunciation for this word is like prolonged Oo, silent U and finally raria - Osh.. toh..ra..ria ,liddat . THis word , killer man i tell u...em..to me.. Basically when sensei Tani asked me to pronounce it i... haih...

1st attempt:
Sensei : Hiek, poh yee san.. osutoraria
Cpy : Y me........ (T__T) Ooo (stuck..)sssh to la ia (tsk tsk tsk??!! @@)
Sensei : Dameh..Dameh.. (means no)

2nd attempt: (already blushing)
Cpy : Oosh to ra lia (deng.. + +)
Sensei : DAmeh Dameh.... (no no T_T)

3rd attempt:
Cpy : Osh (finally!!) to la lia (T__T)
Sensei : Aaahh.. DaMeh.. Oshtoraria ( ai ya ya, no..., Australiaaa)

4th time: (Finally)
Cpy : Oshtoraria!
Sensei : HIEK! (yes !!)

whole class clapped..-.-'''

ai yeeer, Baaa Liaaa...
( luckily i got mareshia- Malaysia right.. but sensei not convinced, asked me pronounce it.. =.='' )

Conclusion :
