Assuming Quests
Another Annoying Essay cause exams are over...
It's annoying when someone asks a question assuming you know what he means but you actually don't or assuming you have done something he thinks he has asked you to do but when actually he hasn't. It's hard to explain. Maybe next time this happens to you, you should give a go at putting yourselves in their shoes. Maybe try it sometime.
It's possible that people who seem to be assuming are actually asking 2 questions at once. Let me explain. If, hypothetically speaking Harry wasn't sure if Mrs. Weasley would be fetching him from the King Cross Station, and at the same time he isn't sure what time Mrs. Weasley would fetch him, then he could ask two questions at once by asking Mrs. Molly, "What time are you fetching me?" Isn't it like grammar, joining two simple questions to form a compound question?
The problem then is the answer. If Mrs. Weasley replies "5 a.m." then both Harry's questions would be answered! Short, neat and sweet! Harry would have saved precious seconds for sleeping. If the answer is "Who told you I was fetching you home?", is would be a mess.
But there are a few rules to follow to reduce the risks of a messy situation. First you need a rather cheerful and understanding person who didn't just come out of an examination hall like Mrs. Weasley. Second, you need hints that support your question such as a knowledge that Harry would be spending the Christmas holidays at the Weasley's. Third, it is necessary to prepare a backup line like "I meant Mr Weasley told you to fetch me when I arrive at King's Cross Station." Fourth, make sure you have done the previous three then only proceed to execute your plan as convincingly as possible. All the best!
Sometimes simple, polite and uncomplicated questions are really good conversation starters. So take it slow and simple, cause I am not making sense.

Already?
Gandalf (:
Really not free most of the time now. Extra homework from teachers and the constant pull in my stomach-to study. I'm about half-way saying goodbye to my As. The exam is just 4 days away.
Tomorrow's the BK Oral Quiz and I've only done the first of 52 chapters, let's hope the other's won't find out. My problem was probably distractions(like blogging) and the piles of homework but more of my procrastination and laziness. Please have mercy with me teachers...
Chosed as treasurer for CF, which means I've also been handling the tickets for CF lunch (it's on 10 Aug; 1245-1430;RM 13(students)/15(others)), which sucks cause I've never had experience at such a high post before. I'm very immature remember?
Assis. Treasurer for volleyball...some said that I actually got President but Pn. Chuan(the teacher advisor) said something about choosing the right person and responsibility so on the second time a form 3 guy got higher votes (later teacher told me that if I had participated more she would have made me Pres.). LOL, lucky me. I'm serious.
I never thought I could have taken the post. Later on I was voted for every post (shows how many eligible form 4s there are)...hopefully more people can join volleyball club. Currently looking for some teammates for next year's volleyball competition...anyone interested?
