A darn funny convo between Vikrum and Nic before contract tutorial yesterday:
Nic: ....epiphany (pronounced as
ee-pee-fer-ni)
Vikrum: sorry what?
Nic: you know...
ee-pee-fer-ni...E-P-I-P-H-A-N-Y
Vikrum: oh, u mean
EH-pee-fer-ni Nic: No, that's not the ONLY way of pronouncing it...
Me: huh, what are the both of you debating about?
Vikrum:
ee-pee-fer-niMe: huh?
Nic: seriously,
eh-pee-fer-ni is the british way of saying it...
ee-pee-fer-ni is the american version
Vikrum: last i heard, they're pronounced the same way everywhere
Nic: Noo...you know...
toe-MAY-toe to-MA-to (tomato),
po-TAY-to po-TA-to (potato)...americans say the words differently from the british
Vikrum: but...
Nic: it's like the word organisation. The british spell it with a 's', and the americans spell it with a 'z'
Vikrum: -pause- But they're still pronounced the same, no?
Nic: -pause-...But i'm not bluffing! the americans REALLY pronounce it as
ee-pee-fer-ni! Karen's american...i BET she pronounces it that way...You wanna bet?
Junrong: Oh YES let's bet.
LOL...contract and torts classes are never boring with them around man...:P
Anyway, binders FINALLY ended this mon...but then...lo and behold...here comes the exams...Haha, as Nat puts it, 'welcome to the second three-week period'. From what i've read for exams so far...realise that i'm really quite blur for all the later chapters, especially those that came during the project period...Not good. And contract is actually CLOSED BOOK...Haha even worse...
Oh, and o-team committee allocations are out! Got my first choice, law camp com. :D Sad thing is that peiyin, xinjie and I are in three separate committees...:( And also found out that the other ppl in law camp com are all the 'happening' people in law fac, aka the popular crowd...who i don't really hang out with in school...(though honestly it was kind of expected, considering how Dennis is law camp com head, and he gets to choose his committee members...) Hmmm...crossing my fingers and hoping that i can get along well with them...Considering how they all know each other...and i know...hmmm...almost no one there...Scary thought. -shudder-
-XL :)
