Well, on Sunday I went for the JLPT level4 Exam. JLPT is Japanese Language Proficiency Test. And level 4 is the most basic of the JLPT tests.
The test is at The Japanese School(Primary) in Changi, it starts at 2.20p.m. and we are required to reach there 30 mins earlier. I went there with YingSan and her brother. We reached Tanah Merah MRT at 12.30p.m. thinking we will take a taxi there. However, there were so many people there. The busstop is totally flooded with people. The taxi stand also had a long queue. The number of taxis passing by was very little, we ended up calling for a taxi. Still we got there just in time. Was panicking that I will be late.
Anyway, the school was quite big. The classrooms are airconned and we are require to take off our shoes before entering. The desks are all for small kids, so it was small. They have sinks in the classroom. The whole instruction was recorded in an audio tape. The first test was ok. Almost forgot the time though, and they do not have a clock in the classroom.
After the first paper, there is a 20 mins break. I went to the toliet. The toliet consist of just cubicles. The ailes is quite narrow. The sinks are outside the toliet. Very interesting design. Haha. I met Ying Ying there as well, we were in the same classroom. I was thinking the 20 mins break will be very long, but it was over in a flash, and have to go for the second paper.
Second paper is listening. I couldn't catch what the person was saying most of the time >,<. Guessed my way through. Then the 20 mins break again, then the last paper. Which was badly done too. Haiz. Hope I can pass the test. T-T. As we predicted, the moment the exam is over, the bus stop became filled with people wanting to get home, and oncalled taxis came in one after the other. We decided to go further out to the main road to flag a taxi. But guess what? The road outside is highway. >,<. We blindly followed the group of people in front of us who seems to know where they were going. We end up looking down a hill at HDB flats, and the well walked path of soil ends there too. So it seems that the people who always walk there climb over the railings and climb down the small slope. We walked a bit further pushing our luck hoping there is an exit off the highway. However all we see is a long stretch of highway. ToT. The pair of girls behind us, who blindly followed us continued walking the highway. ><. I wonder how long and far they have to walk before reaching a busstop, or a place where the taxi will stop.
We ended up climbing down the slop at a less steeper side, and went to the road to flag a taxi. We took the taxi to the NBL, YS and her bro went to do project, while I went home after eating the meatballs from ToriQ.
It was a very interesting day. XD
