Salut! Sorry for the long silence again. Something happened in February and my focus has been drawn to quelque chose which you will get to know in due course. Ironically, I only have time to update this blog tonight when I am out of Singapore and, undistracted.
.
Last Saturday (1 March) was the last leçon of our 2nd Taxi 3 session with Manu. On a fait une révision des leçon 7 à 12. For some reasons, Evelyn continued to be the target of Manu’s imagination.
.
In the previous leçon on la grève (strike), the classe talked about alternative mode of transport in the event of strike. Some said à la pied, some on bicycles, les rollers, le moto, etc. Kevin came up with a ‘heroic’ suggestion - sur le cheval. Manu then imagined Kevin as a knight riding the horse and fetching Evelyn with him, her long curly hair flew along with the breeze.
.
This time, as Evelyn read out a sentence constructed from les mots clé given by Manu: "femmes - admirer - Manu":
- Evelyn: Toutes les femmes admirent Manu à Orchard Road
- Manu: Oui merci baby…err..Evelyn![then wrote on the board: Toutes les femmes (et surtout Evelyn) admirent Manu]
- Ping (to Evelyn): How come cannot be the other way round? Manu admire toutes les femmes à Orchard Road.
.
And so, Evelyn has acquired a nickname - Baby - solely reserved for Manu’s use only.
.
We also discovered Manu’s obession with King Kong. In many of the revision texts he gave us, he compared himself with King Kong:
- King Kon est aussi cool que Manu King
- King Kong est moins sexy que Manu King
- Manu King a plus de femmes que King Kong
- Manu King a autant de force que King Kong
- Rouh Ling (to Manu): Pourquoi cette obessession avec King Kong?
- Manu: King Kong…c’est mon idole, mon reference…
D’accord~
