funny story
Last week when I went to the doctor, the bastard asked the question I knew he was going to ask:
"Now, what are we planning to do about that excess weight you're carrying around?"
"I don't know, Doc. You want to haul it around for awhile?"
"Be serious."
"I am serious. Look, it just must be an overactive thyroid."
"Uh huh. Your thyroid's perfectly normal. If there's anything overactive, it's your fork."

What's wrong with TTVNonline? I can see nothing Poor me!
I try to answer ur questions, don't scold me if there were someone did it b4 me! Thanks ....I see nothing! hic hic!
" be on the ball" means " be aware of'. Is it correct?
" call it a day' means stop doing something. In this case, the Beatles decided to stop being in band. They wanted to break up! That's what I know.
For example, I say to Hoa ' Let's call it a day" when I see her working all day long= Let's finish ur work, or let's stop working, or quit.
As I said, If im wrong, dont bother!

I'm not like them, but I can pretend.
The sun is gone, but I have a light.
The day is done, but I'm having fun.
I think I'm dumb or maybe just happy...think I'm just happy.

Yeah, many people answered my question, all of you have nearly exact reply, except Gorillaz. She had a very good answer. She understands the idiom " call it a day" perfectly. Now, I can announce that :
GORILLAZ IS THE WINNER OF THE 4TH RIDDLE.
( To Aiggno: I know that you also completely understand my riddle but you should explain what you know clearer.)
To Quanbanh97202 : the idiom" be on ball " means to be quick to notice and understand things that are happening around you. In your example , it means if you are more clever to recognize what happen, you won't miss the bus.

Tình yêu là đoá hoa nhưng nhiều gai.
Tình yêu là vết thương đau bầm tím.
Tình yêu là vết dao đâm vào tim.
Tình yêu là chết cho người mình yêu.
Tình yêu là nỗi si mê trong đời!<

An Incomlete Manifesto for Growth
2. Forget about good. Good is a known quality. Good is what we all agree on. Growth is not necessarily good. Growth is an exploration of unlit recesses that may or may not yield to our research. As long as you stick to good, you'll never have real growth.
3. Begin anywhere. John Cage tell us that not knowing where to begin is a common form of paralysis. His advice: begin anywhere.

Yeah, I know it. Maybe this is a simple one so I can understand and answer it. Let me see...... the idiom "hit the nail on the head" means "to be exactly right". As your example, you think you can do the test with 90% right, and you just did it with 75% right, however you are near your hope. Is that right?
I hope I'm the first this time
I have another idom "bite off more than one can chew ". What do you think about this one? Wanna challenge with this?
No one want to be lonely. Why?

------------------------------------
I think ur rite! As for me, it means to explain a situation, a problem perfectly. I just change " exatcly" to ' perfectly". Don't be mad at me if I did something wrong, please!
The 7th riddle :
I have another idiom "bite off more than one can chew ". What do you think about this one? Wanna challenge with this?
---------------------
u didn't give any example for this idiom. How can we guess? Oops, u meant ' challenge", didn' t u?
I think this means: u want or u try to do something that u are not able to do. I just base on its meaning! I think Im rite, hopefully.

To Gorillaz : I remember that the idiom" bite off more than you can chew " means to try to do more than you are able to do or something that is too difficult . For example: Of course they're worried about their new business - they bit off more than they can chew.
Is it right , Gor?
This is actually an interesting idiom.
