My Undergraduate Days #8 (Closure of The Deck.)

Haiyoyo. Once The Deck closed down, I cannot eat my favourite chicken chop weekly, drink my kopi and milk tea on alternate days, and have macaroni during Social Work lectures! :(
The Deck has been such a legacy that I spotted three to four people taking photos of the canteen before its closure. Seeing how other people treasure this place made me a little guilty of not treasuring as much as them. I always criticise the canteen for being smelly.

My favourite kopi stall.The first thing on my mind everytime I feel restless in school- should I get coffee or tea.The oh-so-familiar yellow tables and orange seats.Long long queue for Japanese food, one of the most popular stall in The Deck.Behind me: The queue for Western Food is very long too.Me and Una Tama Don.Chicken Cutlet and Char Kuay Tiao.Xinli looking really happy.
Ying Fong very excited about her cutlet.
Me donating my Pooh Bear, a little furry duckling and a small Forever Friends bear.

Yep, it's almost Christmas time. I love experiencing Christmas in Europe and miss singing carols along the streets of Prague. Before going into the holidays mood, I shall go study for my examinations. Here's wishing all my friends all the best for their examinations. Add oil!

My Undergraduate Days #7 (Fotos besprechen.)

Na ja, ich muss jetzt nur Deutsch benutzen, sprechen, ueben, und sagen. Nein?
Doch, ALLES DEUTSCH!

Ich moechte zwei Fotos zeigen, weil ich diese Fotos mag! :)

Das erste Foto

Ich habe dieses Foto von Xinlis Blog gestohlen. In dieses Foto sieht man George Bush, einen wichtigen Mann in dem politischen Vorgang. Er hat gestern Nachmittag Singapore besucht und auch NUS University Cultural Centre besucht. (Ich finde, dass sehr cool ist.) Im Hintergrund sieht man die schoene Waende im unserem schoenen UCC. Das ganze Gebaeude war gut beleuchtet. In der Bildmitte stehen viele viele glueckliche Studenten. Ich glaube, dass sie sehr aufgeregt (und gluecklich) waren, weil es nicht haeufig ist, einen politischen Fuehrer zu treffen. Im Vordergrund sieht man natuerlich George Bush und Xinlis gluecklichen Freund (haha!) .

Das zweite FotoDieses Foto sieht man einen kleinen Ecke in unsere Central Library. Im Hintergrund sieht man (natuerlich) viele Buechern. Dicke Buch oder duenne Buch. Wir haben sie alles. Also, man kann in der Bildmitte ein fleissiges Maedchen sehen. Ich denke, dass es vielleicht eine Kopfschmerzen hat, weil sie viel studiert hat. Vorne rechts ist ein anderen Maedchen, das nicht studierenden ist. Es laechelt gluecklicherweise. Es war ungluecklichweise meine Freundin. Wir haben gestern zusammen studieren. Ich habe studiert, aber sie hat gelaechelt.

Ich habe noch nicht meine Empfehlung fuer den Film ,,Der Tunnel'' fertig schreiben. Ich muss jetzt schnell schreiben!!! Mein Gott.

My Undergraduate Days #6 (Supposed hardcore mugging.)

Two mugging musts:A big comfortable sweater and a water bottle (for storing HOT water).
With hot water today, my body did not seem to be as cold as yesterday. :)

There's this guy who used a backpack, a sweater, and a few stacks of notes to book 4 seats. If you book one seat, I can definitely understand. But it's 4 seats leh. And they were away most of the time. In the afternoon, only at most two seats were occupied. The four seats were never filled up at all. In the late morning, a guy came over and pushed away the notes. Then the guy who booked the seat finally appeared for the first time (since morning) and had a conversation with the guy who sat there and minutes later, the poor guy went off to no avail. I believe nobody wants to create an ugly scene.

There's this sign at the Library entrance saying something like: You can remove the books or belongings away if the owner does not return in 15 minutes time. I am still tickled by this. Hoho.

Anyway, as I was casting dirty looks towards the guy and his shameless act, I saw another guy sitting at another desk also casting dirty looks at that guy. Buay zi dong.

Studied with 周杰伦-look-alike today.

Casting a dirty look at me.

Playing games when we're supposed to study.

Met up with Annie for dinner. I felt and looked so shagged after a day of studying. Schriftlicher Test is tomorrow and our project is not done yet. Oh my god. I so want to laze around.

Of appreciation.

I am sure everyone loves to be acknowledged for their feelings, their efforts and most importantly, for their presence. Who wants to be treated like dirt?

I wrote a postcard for my German tutorial teacher because I thought she was really patient and it is obvious that she put in effort in every tutorial. I always feel that it's not easy teaching a language.

She said thank you so many times that I felt I was blushing already. She was so delighted that I wrote a postcard specially for her. On another level, I am also interpreting it as a delighted feeling that her efforts were recognized.

I really wonder how come some people can bring themselves to criticise teachers when they have put already in their effort to teach you. This is especially so for the language teachers because I personally feel that they are always having a hard time teaching us a brand new language.

I have heard criticisms of my teacher a few times and I don't find it very nice. If you think they're not doing a good job, perhaps you should try teaching a foreign language yourself before you judge if she is good enough. I don't believe in putting people down when I am not even excelling in the thing that he or she is not good at.

The same goes to our loved ones, who live together with us, endure our shit, do things for us, sacrifice themselves. Simple things like cooking a meal, washing clothes, boiling water, vacuuming and mopping the floor. Sometimes our mums do that so often that we thought that it's only natural for them to do those stuff. Bear in mind that they are not obliged to do so. They do those stuff because they love and care for us.

Don't take people's efforts for granted.

My Undergraduate Days #5 (Talk about applying what we have learned.)

Today's GEK test was great. I felt that I could remember more facts than the first test. Yeah! And I enjoyed studying for the test. This is my favourite Science module! :)

After test, I went straight to the canteen to eat Laksa with Kelly. When I first thought of Laksa, I thought of you, my dear ELAYNE!! And then I got reminded of the days when we'll go for lunch after German 2 class, eating Japanese food or Laksa, and (me) shamelessly putting my arm against my foot to see if they are really of the same length! Hope we can really have breakfast together this Sunday! :)

Okay, back to my food, I think it's those period of the year when I love to stuff myself with food (because I bought two pieces of fruits and then another chocolate waffle as my snack at 1pm). I felt a sense of euphoria after eating so much. SHUANG!

After that, I hiberated in the Library from 11-1pm, had a tea break, and then all the way to 7.20pm. I felt like an ice cube ball. It's so cold. And now back at home, I still feel cold.

I did my readings today.

Evidence #1:

Evidence #2:
Highlight until I highlighted my own hand. -_-

So anyway, after being in the big freezer for the whole day, naturally I am not in the best of moods. So yep, I might be snapping at people unknowingly again.

There is a reason behind each and every word and action of mine.

I don't disallow comments for no reason. I know that a lot of people won't be able to understand my point of view and that is why I disallow comments because there are times when I wish to complain and just let the issue go. This is, I agree, some sort of a stubborn act but I don't really care because I just want to ventilate. I am not very open-minded, to the extent of accepting whatever comments made about me.

Other than the times when I am in Social Work mode, I am just a normal girl who gets angry, upset, violent, happy, disgusted and bian tai. I am no angel. I am not obliged to perform the skills I learn from Social Work to the people around me. And even if I do, it's out of my own personal concern. Not because I study Social Work. So please don't ask me to practice empathy just because I am trained to do so.

Talk about applying what we learn? She...

-does not maintain proper eye contact --> poor attending skills

-has limited regard for other people --> lack of basic empathy

-says things as and when she feels like it --> lack of emotional control

-does not show her appreciation to other's efforts --> will have great difficulty applying Strengths' Perspective, which I find essential in Social Work field.

Alright. Vomitted all that out in a fit of anger. I am really angry. I mean, I got irritated because of a lot of reasons, not for nothing.

Do remember that I am still a human. I have my own problems, my own frustrations. Sometimes what I need is just a listening ear. "At times, however, the best support is simply being with the person and not saying a word." Extracted this line from Ivey and Ivey, one of my readings from SW3209.

Thank you for the comments but when I need silence, do grant me some too.

Two facts about men.

Firstly, from all the guys I met, most of them are incoherent. (I got perfect examples okay. Practising evidence-based practice as learnt in class.)

Secondly, most of them make brainless comments and conclude without knowing the whole story. They make lousy Social Workers. And ASSUMING! I hate people who assume. (So perhaps that's why Social Work guys are nicer. Not all are nice though. Guys. You never know them well enough.)

*grumbles*

你要继续勇敢哦!

亲爱的朋友,

面对着许多不必要的问题时,希望你能坚持自己的信念,勇敢的走下去。加油!

Please learn to be humble and acknowledge other people's efforts.

Oh my god, I've got an overwhelming volcano of emotions now. Last night, my emotions were horrible as I find what I aspire for different from someone. Lack of communication, lack of understanding, lack of expression of care and concern. What's wrong with this world? Would it really kill you to express your real thoughts?

And when I've cried out all my stupid emotions last night on my bed, I'm now facing another piece of shitty news. My group report is not really done, according to one of my groupmates. I was supposed to be the compiler and ( oh my god, this really confirmed my negative thoughts about myself not being competent enough) supposed to look through the whole document and make sure everything flows.

I did browsed through the entire thing, edited one part which was done by two different groupmates, thus making it coherent, and making sure that the appendix flows and don't go "Appendix i" and then "Appendix B". I thought that was enough. I didn't really looked through the whole report thoroughly.

So the main point is, my groupmate looked through the report and edited from last night till this morning, hinting (think it's really obvious) that the whole report was not coherent and posted an announcement with one really hurting line,

"Am I supposed to do this?!"

So isn't she trying to say I did not do my job well enough? Okay, I am not blaming her because I know I am indeed at fault but she doesn't have to be so straightforward and always treating me like dirt? One thing which I did not mention a week ago was that she sent me a msn message saying,

"Help me do this now. (Survey link)"

She doesn't even care to ask if I am free at that moment. With the overwhelming-and-inconsiderate-aura around her, I feel threatened and sometimes, irritated with her. Am I your servant? Sorry, I am not. I signed out of MSN immediately. The next day, I blocked her. I am sorry lah, I just don't like the way you converse with me. Makes me feel inferior and stupid.

I know I shouldn't blame others for affecting my feelings because I always believe in choosing what I want, believing what I want to believe, feel how I want to feel, think what I want to think. It's just that I am still a human afterall. And as a human being, I self-doubt, get affected by other people and think for others as well. But never would I make anyone inferior because I know I am not that superb afterall.

But apparently, this person thinks she is the most powerful person lah. With all the praises she receives, she seems to be floating in her own world and doesn't really care how people feel.

When I asked her about something, she just went,

"That means I have to do a lot leh."

For your information, I only asked a question. I did not instruct you to do a certain thing. I am seldom that directive. (Other than organising outings which is going to be ceased because of loads of negative feelings. Please don't ask why. I will puke on you.)

If you think you're really that good, you might as well do a research on your own, construct your own research question (since you think that your idea for the research question is the best), conduct your own interviews according to your own timing (so that you won't think that I am rushing you), and type your own report (to ensure that your report flows just in case the compiler is kns).

In any case, the whole project is a group effort, you can't blame others unless you're really that good. And if you're really good, go tell Dr. Choo that you can manage the project by yourself. I am doing this group project because I have no choice but to be in the same group as you and even though (I am so sorry to say this but) I don't enjoy doing this project with you, I still hanged on.

I never said I am superb at compiling or typing reports, but at least I tried. Did anybody acknowledge that? I am afraid not.

P/S: I apologized to my other groupmates about my inadequacy in my role. I do feel guilty and ashamed for underperforming but I feel more ashamed for this person who never ever made an effort to build a normal rapport with me.

Almost the end of school.

Today I had my last GEK lecture. My lecturer is a really cute woman. She takes 4 or 6 minutes break instead of 5, says funny stuff without laughing, gives clear-cut explanations, and speaks with a cute accent (I don't know what accent though).

I just finished compiling my SW3101 project and finished up a part which I originally refused to do. Now I don't feel that guilty anymore! And I've done the content page too.

I got to go study for my GEK test this Wednesday. GOGOGO!

Studying Session with the NTU Ambassador.

The NTU Ambassador claimed that there were other ambassadors around today. Hmmm, looks like they really love NUS.

Julia's fascinated about my art talent. Of course lah, I've got A for O Level Art okay. *Julia faints*
Anyway, Julia's going to make fun of me in her blog of my absence of pink highlighter episode, so I might as well mention here. I bought my fat SW3101 textbook all the way to school just to find out that I could not read it because I did not bring my pink highlighter. I insisted pink because the whole book is filled with only pink colours! *whine*

So anyway, I managed to read and jotted down a lot of points for three and a half lectures of my GEK module, which is not bad when compared to my continuous wasting of time at home.

Entertainment during sleepy hours.

Scene:
I leaned over to see what song Julia is listening to.
Handphone (Yeah lah, ambassador got money mah, 3G phone~) shows Beatles.

Cindy pointed at Julia and wrote 老人... then showed off her MP3 player which shows 一把伞, and wrote 183 Club, YOUNG!

Julia wrote: Got old people inside the club lor!

Cindy wrote: 20+ only. At most 26-~ Handsome men!

Julia wrote: Beatles also!

Cindy drew and arrow: OLD MEN

Julia wrote: WERE handsome.

Cindy underlined WERE.

German Film Festival 2006.

Second last German 5 class today. We watched Der Tunnel, the whole movie. It was marvellous and most of us were very excited during the movie, especially Jia En when he went "Ahhh~!!" as if he felt the pain the male lead felt. Wahahahahaha~

I should have taken a video of how me and Xinli were muttering German along AS6 corridor after class.

"Ich bin ein schoene Maedchen. Du bist ein boese Maedchen!"

So here we are at the service lift- which is meant for goods, not us. (I have no idea why we used that lift and I don't know who suggested it.)


Man, how do I do my business when there's a man staring at me?

Stopped taking more pictures when Geokwei said, "NO PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED INSIDE A CINEMA!" loudly.

Ying Fong lost two nights of sleep! Poor thing!

Wake up leh, Ying Fong.Sexy and still beautiful, Faith.
Ever seen Xinli looking constipated? Here you go! (Think Ashley's constipated too.)
Me and the working class.

(Oh too bad, can't enlarge the photo by clicking.)

Us including Joyce whom we met at the Central Library bus stop and found out that we were going to the same place and watching the same movie! What a coincidence. :)

P/S: Tough Enough is interestingly filmed but a little dry. Or perhaps I was too tired and sleepy by 9.15pm. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the German-ness today!

Looking back.

I've been looking at old dramas like Prince turn into Frog and MVP Lover. My god, just like how old people always review their past. -_-

Anyway, this is one of my favourite songs from 5566! =)

Do watch the MTV and tell me how you feel about this song!

I love love love the chorus part.

盛夏的午后 漫无目地的走
火红的星球 怎么温暖不了我
你走了以后只留下寒冬

回忆的天空 再看不见彩虹
雨下的太多 怎么打进我心头
渐渐淹没我逃不开伤痛

我躲在你给的体温
散尽后你却不加温
我痴痴等 痴痴的冷

刻在胸膛上的吻痕
深刻却找不到永恒
心碎陪我哭到无声
我痴痴等 只能痴痴冷

缤纷的周末 黑色才属于我
拥挤的人群 怎么留我在角落
想你的笑容 像拥有宇宙
带给我快乐 只因为有你

谁能替代你来拼凑
我散落一地的美梦
再听不见你说爱我
without your love
without your love

My Undergraduate Days #5

Here's what I wore on Tuesday, and Serene said I looked like Sailor Moon! O_o

WHERE GOT?!

Anyway, I was rushing my compilation of my powerpoint presentation that I have no time to chat on MSN at all. I just kept compiling and compiling. I don't mind doing compiling because it's actually quite a mindless task (haha). But, I hate to compile again and again! My group members keep editing and then keep sending in their "latest" slides and I don't know which one will be the latest and the worst thing is, I was still compiling at 3am. I was so damn bek chek that I put "WHAT THE F@#$" in my MSN nick.

And then when I sms-ed my group mate and asked her to edit the slides herself when I am done with my own editions, she went to did her own editions and sent me her "latest slides" again. My goodness. And I finally slept at 3am. Had my four hours of pathetic sleep the second time in this semester. Ganz schrecklich.

Like what someone told me, I could have just anyhow compile and screw up the whole team because I am so fed up. But then I compiled the slides nicely, adding pictures of tattoos so that the slides won't be filled with only words, words, and more words. Some slides are really very very wordy but I'm not supposed to touch it because it is not my part of the presentation. Oh well, fine.

I am glad that this picture that I found online caught the attention of the whole class. At least my efforts were sort of recognised.

In short, I don't enjoy this groupwork and I honestly, non of the group presentations are impressive at all (including mine). I just want to get the report done and forget about this.

I was totally shagged in school today. Wanted to do some work before I go home and ended up dozing off in front of the computer.

My SW3101 project slides.

I did the sai gang- compilation and powerpoint.

I thought my slides look pretty cool with the Japanese-like design as the PPT template.

Some pictures I found from the net.


(I like this the most!)




Alright. Time for my drama.

German-learning- Muendliche Pruefung.

Finally had my German Oral! It was very lucky of me to have spotted a topic accurately: Schule (Schools). Joan was asked to describe her favourite subject while I was asked to describe my favourite teacher and naturally, I mentioned Mr Tan.

Er war meinen Geschichte Lehrer. Er ist ein sehr nette und (dedicated) Lehrer und wenn ich viele Fragen stellten, antwortete ihn immer mit vieler Geduld, usw.

I answered my question along those lines. I actually wrote those phrases down because of a previous homework set by Frau Niemann. If not for those phrases, I would have died.

The exam ended with a dialogue between me and Joan about Uniforms. Joan digressed about how her daughter is going to look fabulous in schoene Kleidung while I am for uniforms. Our tutor stopped us when I was about to digress the important role of uniforms in helping us to identify students in Arcades. Wahahahaha.

Generally I thought my performance was pretty okay. I don't feel as stressed as last semester when I had to speak to a microphone.

Frau Ewerhart rewarded us with some biscuits at the end. So sweet of her. (Oops, this reminds me that I still owe her one homework!)

Thanks for the sms-es. :)

Pretty woman.

I am sure all females love to be praised for their looks.

Most do not like to be criticised about their looks. I am not sure if all females care that much about other people's comments but I DO.

"Cindy, your eyebag very big."

That's not very complimenting and to be honest, I am quite turned off by that line. I am aware of my eyebags but I do not need you to remind me.

Another incident occurred quite a long time ago to my friend.

"Eh, can see you tummy lurking out."

The first thing I did is to check out if my tummy is out to see the world too. Nope, luckily. I felt disgusted at that line even though it was not targeted at me. I could have flared up if that person were to be targeting at me. (And what's worse is there's a guy beside us.)

So you see, I seldom criticise people's look because I hate to be picked on about my looks. Everyone has their own flaws.

When you have beautiful skin, it's either that your hair is very dry or your tummy is very big. When you have a totally flat tummy, it's either that your face is full of pimples or you don't have double eyelids. When you have nice skin, nice figure and nice face, you might be either too tall or too short.

The point is, everyone of us has flaws. Sometimes, being a normal woman, I get jealous over other woman's smooth and silky hair, figure, slim arms and thighs, etc. But upon further observation, I can actually see other flaws that that particular woman has. So the concept of beauty is rather subjective actually.

And I hate it when people pick on my looks, even though it may be a mindless comment. Everyone should jolly well know the high sensitivity levels of all women. No matter how many times women ask you, you have to (be it truthful or not) say that they are beautiful. I think it's pretty common sense to do that. While protecting your life, you're being polite at the same time.

Constructive criticism is good only when you use them appropriately, that is, if the person asked for it himself or herself, and he or she desperately needs a honest answer.

I seldom criticise other people's looks because I hate it when people do that to me. (Think I've said it for the third time.) If you're a 绝世美女, I don't mind getting criticised by you. But, sad to say, you're not pretty at all. So take good care of yourself before you point out other people's physical shortcomings in the public.

Along AS6 corridor, waiting for SW3202 tutorial to start.

Social Work girls: Corrine, Ming En, Serene, Wan Qi and me. (Hopefully, Social Workers-to-be too.)

Now that the presentations are over, good luck on the essays girls! :)

The Glad Game.

It will make you realise how fortunate you are.

I am glad, that I have a super mother.

I am glad, that I have a wide array of wonderful friends whom I share different problems and ideas with.

I am glad, that though I fell down many a times, I managed to stand up again either by myself or by receiving help and guidance from others. (This applies to almost all aspects of my life.)

I am glad, that I overcame the six torturous years two years ago (since I was enrolled into NUS).

I am glad, that I have the determination to overcome all odds and take German at level 5.

I am glad, that I went to Students Care Service for my SW3103 Placement and got to know wonderful colleagues- and they became my idols, met wonderful kids and gained a wonderful insight that I would never have gained if I plant my butt at home.

I am glad, that I have close girlfriends to share almost all troubles with.

I am glad, that I am better at controlling my temper and I have learned how to think more rationally over the years.

I am glad, that I have a blog and I can post beautiful and colourful pictures in it!

I am glad, that I am not extremely poor. (At least, I can afford a nice meal once in a while.)

I am glad, that I try very hard to practice what I preach.

I am glad, that I don’t force myself to do things which I don’t enjoy to do.

I am glad, that I have the courage to pursue my passions- Social Work, German Language- despite all the possible hindering factors.

I am glad, that I am much more open-minded now.

I am glad, that I have the courage to face certain people whom I thought I would never be able to face anymore.

I am glad, that I am willing to accept and learn from my paiseh moments.

I am glad, that I am trained to be thick-skinned in a positive way.

I am glad, that I like to cry and let out my emotions rather than geng and act tough.

I am glad, that I got the habit of writing postcards from Isaac, one of the guy friends whom I treasure a lot. Writing postcards has been my way of communicating my love and regards and it’s intricately, a part of me.

I am glad, that most people are glad to receive my postcards.

I am glad, that I can make people laugh with my queer (and sometimes, dark) humor.

I am glad, that I have a few big size soft-toys given by my family members.

I am glad, that although I am dumb, I am humble to learn.

I am glad, that I am, in most times, presenting my real self in front of other people.

I am glad, that I am studying something I like.

I am glad, that I am able to reframe happenings when necessary.

I am glad, that I have a more than adequate supply of accessories.

I am glad, that I can achieve what I want as long as I am determined to achieve it.

I am glad, that I have my own table, thus my own space.

I am glad, that I laugh a lot.

(to be continued...)

Bleibt immer gluecklich. :)

Wenn die Welt so schoen ist, dann habe ich immer irgendwie Grund dazu, gluecklich zu sein, nur weil ich am Leben bin.

-Eurolingua Deutsch 3, seite 11.

When the world is so beautiful, I always have reasons to be happy, only because I am alive.
(sorry for weird translation, but you sort of get the meaning.)

Got reminded of the songs in the 90s...

...when I saw someone.

Perhaps it's not him. I don't know.

Anyway, this is Stay the Same by Joey McIntyre.

Upon searching for his songs on Youtube, I found another song, which is not that bad too.

Rain.

I guess this used to be everyone's favourite! :D

I love you came too late.

Found another song, Super Girl. It's nice too! :D

Random #9

1) Me and mum bought winter jackets in Causeway Point for only 69 bucks! Totally cool price!

2) Upon receiving an email, I feel that I am really evil. But then again, I wouldn't want to be very nice to others and then feel totally horrible inside. That's not me. (Don't ask me what email is that. If I wanted to say, I would have said.)

3) Finally confirmed what movie I am going to watch next Friday. It's Tough Enough.

4) I think I am quite dumb to a certain extent.

5) Whenever me and my mum dine out, we usually order too much. (This shows how greedy and irrational we are.)

6) Got this quote from Shang May: If you're second-guessing his actions, it means you dont really know the guy very well.

7) Went to school and spent 5 hours on my SSD essay, which is already over the word limit.

Semester Test down, Muenliche Pruefung und Schriftlicher Test next.

Surprisingly, German 5's Semester Test is easier as compared to German 4's Semester Test. (Even though Herr Chan already mentioned this last semester but this idea just did not register in my brain because how can a higher level module be easier than a lower level one?) It was much easier to understand and much easier to read. At least, I did not feel dead after the test. I felt a bit stony though.

Listening this time round was pretty interesting. We were allowed to watch this show, Der Tunnel, which I deduce is a film about a guy fleeing from East Germany to West Germany.

I laughed a bit when I saw an officer from the East running (as if for his life) towards the West side. I admit I am pretty rude but it really tickles me. The history of Germany never fails to interest me. Okay, I am pretty out-of-point. The point is, we had to answer some questions about the content of the film by watching the short introduction of the film.

And I always understand a German thing (be it film, storybook, passage, usw.) only after a second look at it. This is sort of a killer section for me. I could not answer three questions.


:(

The grammer section was pretty fine though I felt uncertain at times. I could sort of understand the passages upon second reading, which is not bad for me already.

But the cloze text was another killer. More than half the number of blanks were empty.


Scheisse.

As I said, I think I was having PMS. I felt fed up that nothing much was done even though I had a whole day to myself. So sorry, if anyone got scolded by me for no reason.

And I've been speaking German to myself at home. I wonder if my mum thinks that her daughter is going mad. Haha.

Oh yeah, next week I am going for a German Film because it's......


GERMAN FILM FESTIVAL! :D

Noch eine PMS?

Ich habe keinen interessanten Inhalt zu bloggen.

Heute habe ich nicht vielen Arbeit gemacht.

Mein Herz fühlt sich nicht gut.

:(




P/S: Meine Meinung nach, dass PMS ein weibliches Wort ist, deshalb "eine PMS".

Mittwoch, November 01, 2006

Regret.

Whine. Whine. Whine.

I so want to whine aloud now. I should have known better. Tickets will sell out faster than I thought they will be! I should have not think so much and just book it! Feel like slapping myself. So much for always telling myself : Nicht zweifeln, nicht nachdenken, einfach weitergehen.

I did not practise what I preach!

*GROWL*



A nice song from the Movie Soundtrack.


*continue to whine*
