C: The First Incident

Well I was reading my previous post, To My Darling C: May You Rot In School Forever and decided to tell the first story since I'm bored. (Actually I just don't want to study...:P)

C is a female Chinese teacher of my school.
Since I take HMT (Higher Mother Tongue.. Which in my case is Chinese), I had my express Chinese 'O' Level paper in secondary 3.
So last year, somewhere in March or April, my school organized a Chinese Oral examination for us HCL sec 3s and express sec 4s.
That was my first and only Chinese oral in school.. Pathetic.
Luckily some smart teacher appealed for a school oral examination or we would all die come 'O' Level paper.

Anyway, I have extremely bad karma when it comes to C (as is evident), and I got her as my oral examiner.
At that time I recognised her as one of the teachers in charge of choir, but didn't know her in depth so was neutral towards her.
Well the read-aloud part was fine but the problem came during the conversation.
For conversations, the teacher had to ask the candidate questions which the candidate will answer.
Well she was MUMBLING so softly that I couldn't hear so I requested for her to repeat again.
And again.
The third time I asked, (yes I STILL couldn't make out her words) she got fed up and spoke the question IN ENGLISH.
I mean, COME ON!!! I understand chinese PERFECTLY but she obviously had trouble SPEAKING the language!!!
I BET SHE TOTALLY FAILED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So after I finally got through the ordeal, I asked other students that she tested.
Believe me when I say that NONE OF US understood her on the first try.
But I was the ONLY one that she spoke to in BLOODY ENGLISH. (Yes I'm going all Brit. N's fault.)

Needless to say, I've hated her ever since.
