Me As An Interpreter

It's finally over, my first try as an interpreter. Skipped a class to make it to the hotel for the education fair.

Yet, things didn't seem to go smooth enough for me.

Not many people stopped by my booth, and even less left their information.

The school delegate from Canada seemed to be quite disappointed. Me too after noticing his disappointment.

Too bad there wasn't time for depression. Jobs must still be done, flyers must be given out.

And time ticked away like this, with lotsa refusal, rejection and one boring look.

Now, it's finally over, my first try as an interpreter.

Didn't seem to be a good memory but will definitely be a good lesson.

Literature is Real

There's a lot going on in this world. The day you realize the true meaning behind this line will be the day you learn how petty you are, trapped in this comfort zone of yours.

If you can't travel or experience the things that are happening, then READ! The more you read, the more you get to know this world.

"Literature is real".
That's what my professor said. Getting much nearer to comprehend the line now.

It is only through literature that we know the deeper truth behind the written truth.

Heathens from Suicide Squad

Suicide Squad really has the best soundtracks!!! This is one of my favourites!!! Heathens by twenty one pilots.



The music fits the movie 100% well!!! So dark so gloomy and all!!!
Yet the best part is the lyrics.

Here's which I like the most:
You'll never know the psychopath setting next to you
You'll never know the murderer sitting next to you
You'll think, "How'd I get here, sitting next to you?"

Not only it describes the scenes and stories in the movie, it also tells the stories of our lives. Like... People often get obsessed in what we do, then we become lost on our ways to achieve what we want. We forget our priorities, true responsibilities and even worse, we leave behind our purest intentions before we started the race in our lives in order to get our goals. 
Then we mess everything up, not knowing how messed up we are. One day, all of a sudden, only we realize we're not living the lives we wanted in the first place. When we hit this stage in life, we have already lost some of the most important things. Love, friends or maybe even family. 

Isn't this exactly what the lyrics is about? In the middle of our effort to lead a good life, we get involved in the ways of the "psychopaths and "murderers" in our lives. One day we'll be asking ourselves "How'd I get to this terrible point in my life?" By that time, we may have already lost our loved ones.

Back to the song. The second best part is the sudden end of things, accompanied by the very well written lines:
Why'd you come, you know you should have stayed
I tried to warn you just to stay away
And now they're outside ready to bust
It looks like you might be one of us

Given the singer sings this out as a prisoner(in the video), it's like telling those who haven't done wrongs(or haven't got lost in their lives) to beware of this world, from an experienced to a less experienced. Yet we always ignore good advice. So at the end of the day, people will still easily fall into the dark side of the world. And so it says,"It looks like you might be one of us" with a sudden ending, leaving the unknowns as unknown, exactly a portray of life.

Don't get what I say? Watch the MV!!! It's definitely a song worth listening.

Bottleneck in My Study

Midterm has just finished and the worst day of my life begins. Getting a warning in my academic study for the first time doesn't really feel good. The second I saw the red words occurring on my monitor, I was so stunned that I did not know what to do. I didn't even know what to feel.

Damn, I burnt midnight oil for the first time in my uni life to study for this文字學, yet this is what I get in return. Failing in the midterm exams!!! Never in my life have I experienced such failure that could almost tore me apart. I did try hard (okay maybe not hard enough ==), but I did not do well.What the hell is wrong with my answers??? Haiz, I don't even get to know because the lecturer never plans to give us back our papers~~~ So how do I know my mistakes? Nevermind, let bygones be bygones. I'll just have to try harder in my finals to pass this subject (which I think I'll fail to do so too ==)

Hmm, in case nobody knows what 文字學 is about, I'll just do a brief explanation right here. It is about study of Chinese Words like 甲骨文 and 金文. Yep, another way of committing suicide. == But amateur like me has yet to reach that high level in the study, so I am still at 楷體 and 小篆 part, which is the words we are using nowadays and the latest ancient words used by our ancestors respectively. (小篆 becomes the words used officially during Dynasty Qin.)

I am already having headache just mentioning the categories of the words. ==

Tadaa~~~ a little bit of my 'artwork'

Although I kinda like this kind of study, the fact that I have to sit for exams for such thing is killing me. I really can't stand memorizing the words for one whole night but still can't write it properly the next morning. That's called stupidity, for me. == How can I not remember all the details for only so few words : which lines should touch each other and so on.

Maybe I'm just not talented enough in doing words studies. Haha~but since this is a compulsory subject, I still have to suck it up (after grieving for my pathetic results) and pass it no matter how!!! C'mon, just a 'pass' would be enough nowadays. Haha.

So it's me 'vomiting'

It really is complicated.... I thought I'd be more than happy... things were going quite well to be frank... but then I didn't feel one bit of delight... what would it be, except for the fact that my dear friend was rejected while I was accepted. This kinda bring the supposed-to-be-delightful atmosphere down... but what to do? Don't you feel your friend's gloomy feeling? Can you actually dance and laugh happily to that?

So... everything is about to change today. My timetable is going to be damn full, my free time, on the other hand, would be squeezed tighter. = = And the worst of all, I can no longer attend most classes together with my dear roommates(which one of them is the friend I mentioned above). Haiz... still think of applying for a double major is fun? Although I have passed both the test and the interview, I can't believe I don't quite feel what I supposed to be feeling... like... well you know... you've been working hard on one thing and then your hard work pays off and then you'd be "Wow the world is indeed a nice place" kind of feel.

NO! None of that exists in me right now~ Instead, I only feel lost. Dang, lost as in lost in the middle of everybody, not belong in any group of people. Is it because of the double major thing? Will it be better after a while? I'm confused and scared >.< How will I face all the new faces in the new classroom? Faces that none I recognize and not familiar with, and don't have a single friendliness in them(I suppose, lol)?

And I can't even spit this out to my roommates~~~ What would she think of this? Will this be me pouring salt on her scar? But who can I go to if not my roommates, the people closest to me in this unfamiliar place? Who can I talk to, if not those living in one same room with me?

But above all, is it me who have too many negative thoughts? Maybe her feeling isn't as deep as I thought it would be. Maybe she is fine.... or maybe she doesn't care that much?

Dang I am lost already... this time in my own thought. Can I stop being so sensitive and just live live naturally as it would go on? Oh oh yeah~ I should practise on that more often.

That's all~ tadaa~

Well, u know... 3 women in a room can talk about anything. Haha... that's all.. can't think of anything better to blog~ :P

I have so many amazing plans for my holidays u know? books, travel, work, sleep, ANIMES!!! oh yeah this is my very first summer holidays and I am so gonna enjoy it very much, while doing meaningful things.

Taiwan is a good place to be traveled in, it would be stupid if I don't take the chance to do that when I am studying here right? Yo~ and the best thing during this holidays is that my parents are coming! Yeah it has been almost half a year I haven't seen them in person, can't wait until my holidays to come to meet them...

I'm just lame

I think I must be over stressed, if not, CRAZY!(the latter seems more right to me :P) Final is starting tomorrow and I am still taking my own sweet time watching movies, animes, and oh, blogging~ Haha... but exams is not the main thing I am going to talk about today, it is movies and animes!!! Yeah~~~

I believe most of you already heard(and probably watched already) the latest movie directed by Jack Neo, the famous director from S'pore. Hey I love all his movies very much, but this latest one, called "Ah Boys To Men" 1 + 2, makes me go crazy about it. I repeat to watch my favourite scenes in this movie more than once   everyday, and I keep on listening to the theme song of the movie. I think this is the best NS song ever!!! And the writer of the song, Tosh Zhang, he is damn talented la~~~ He can act, can sing, can dance, can write songs... and can do many other things~ I like the way he speaks English most because he can speak so smoothly and fluent and the smoothness makes people wanna continue to hear him speaking... haha I wonder how he did it.

Click here for Ah Boys to Men : Recruits Anthem

Maybe it is a bit late to blog about this movie now, but since I just finished watching it a few days ago, I can't help myself but to start writing things about this movie. It is a big success for S'pore film man! Maybe because it brings back a lot of memories for those NS-ers, and maybe it is just simply a nice film. It brings back my NS memories too... especially falling in damn early in the morning. The sky is still dark but we have to do all the exercises with empty stomachs etc etc.

Seriously, I went through a great nostalgic trip after watching the movie, that's why I love it so much.

Apart from watching movies before my final, I watched anime too! It is the recently-too-popular anime, called "Attacks on Titans", or maybe more well known as 《進擊的巨人》. I don't even know why I started watching this anime, maybe because too many people are talking about it. I never thought it would be this nice, but after I started the first episode, I can't stop downloading the following episodes, then I keep on downloading and downloading until there is no more to be downloaded. Hah! I am the kind of guy who once  getting interested in one thing, will never stop getting to know about it until the end. I think it is called "obsession", right? Not sure 'bout that.

I've never liked an anime that much after One Piece and The Basketball which Kuroko Plays. This is the third one I gone so crazy about. I strongly recommend it to any of you who have a bit interest in anime. Maybe you, too, will fall in love with anime after watching this one.



That's all for today. Too long a post for a girl who needs to sit for her final exams tomorrow.

Getting away from the fantasy world, now I have to go back to study again~ Argh!!!

Earthquake~

Hey earthquake again~ Level 5 again~

lol I think I am getting more used to the shaking now... although I didn't know it was earthquake the second it happened, I wasn't so afraid like last time when I finally realized that the earth was shaking.

Lucky for me I was in the most firm building in my school -- Luce Chapel!!! Yea, I barely felt the shaking if compared to my friends staying at the hostel. I heard people said everyone was too busy running and screaming... but no one in the chapel got up... and the ceremony continued like nothing happened. ==

But I did feel dizzy... I am not sure whether it was because of the earthquake or my empty stomach, I don't like the feeling. It was like... everything around you but you was flying. Damn it is hard enough to try remembering things like this... >.<

Anyway, the earthquake ended quickly (quick for me haha), and nothing bad happened  (except for the landslides in Nantou, the epicenter). Earthquake is too common in Taiwan, so I think people will forget about it very fast.

Well, no one wants to remember such thing right?

Whim

There are highs and lows in our lives, which make us try harder to gain better. It is good to experience good and bad things at different periods of life, experiences help you to become a better person, in many ways.

I believe everyone grows a little everyday, not physically, but mentally. That is why we must act in more matured ways than we were in yesterday, because mental growth mostly comes from disastrous things that hurt ourselves most, and we learn not to repeat the same mistake again, EVER.

However, there are just people who fail to do so, no matter how many times the one same thing fails them. It is not that they don't grow, they do, but they ignore the pain they gained in the past experience.

Well, you may ask, who the hell would be that stupid? Seriously, this kind of people do exist...

Then you might wonder, why on the earth would they do that? Argh... Just know that there are things some people hold on to and never want to let go. They can be petty and low in order to keep things the same way, or at least to minimize any change that could happen.

Sounds like a self-hurting bunch of brainless people huh~ but everyone has his own way of thinking. This self-hurting way to one may be a better way of living to the other.

Because we value different things.

Gonna Fly~~~

Waiting for flight is so tiring, especially when I have to wait for one whole day. >.<

Hell yea, I have arrived at Taoyuan International Airport at 12 pm something, but my flight is at 11:35 PM!!! Meaning, I have to wait for 12 hours ++ for one flight!!! That's ridiculous! Sitting for one whole day at the food court of the airport stiffs my body, and I have nothing else to do except for playing with my laptop. ==

But this is nothing, the worst thing about waiting for one whole day is I have to take 2 meals of one day at one place, isn't this irritating? Knowing that things at airports are expensive... yet I have no other choices... haiz... bad day...

And this is not the only flight I have to wait for. After arriving at LCCT, I still have to transit to Kelantan. So... another waiting to be done. ==

OUTSTANDING >.<

I can't imagine how those who travel further can bear with such boring moment... I consider myself lucky for not having to wait alone, but how about those who have to? Wouldn't having no one to talk to for a long period kills them? Haha... I really wonder...

Well, it is almost 7.30pm already, and yes I am still waiting... The only thing I hope now is for the time to fly faster... for I don't want to stay in the airport any longer... I need a bed, and a nice, comfortable sleep...

Back In LOVE




Many of you must have already known 'bout this song. Yea, it's in Jay Chou's latest album, and I LOVE his new album very much!!! All 12 songs are so nice, it is like... the old Jay Chou is back!

That's right, I'm very happy to know that he's still there. (To be frank, I don't really like the last 2 albums *^^*) I hope Jay Chou will continue to write more great songs and... argh, just write songs!!! (Haha... if you know what I mean :P)

After all, I'm going to meet this most awesome Asian singer xD in one week's time. Yahoo!!!

My 1st Ever Presentation

Done my first presentation this morning, was so excited and nervous about it, for I never seen the Power Point before (my friend did all the annoying things such as sorting out the data and stuff :P). So I attended my History class with no preparation at all, praying for luck to be with me.

Well, it was quite a good presentation overall, for me at least. I explained every single note in details without the teacher interrupting for any missing point. Feeling superb, I wanna thank myself for being so awesome!!! Hahahahha... (Once again, I was UNPREPARED for the presentation, so proud of myself now~  xD)

However, I did create stupid agendas(which is what I always do >.<). Eg. Why do white people despise black people? Seriously it is because they think they are better than black people in many ways. But me? I said "because black people have darker skin, and white people are proud of themselves for being fair, so they look down on the black people." == Even I thought this explanation was ridiculous, I couldn't help myself so I laughed out loudly. Hah, and then the whole class burst into laughter. That was super embarrassing!!!

My presentation lasted for 5 minutes, and my History teacher complimented us. Unlike the 2 groups before us, the teacher kept asking this and that after they finished their presentation, but we were allowed to go back to our seats right after we were done. Yo, I thanked God for that. =)

The first presentation in my whole life was considered a smooth one, although I used my hardly-covered Malaysia accent in the whole process. I think the other students were probably wondering what I was talking about sometimes, but most of the time, I spoke clearly (I really think so lah :P). Had a great time presenting my idea (not exactly mine) today, I think I might begin to like presentation now. Hmm... that's dangerous...

Yo 2013

Hey guys! I know I have been leaving for too long... really sorry for that. Was too busy downloading movies and watching all of them ( because the internet speed in Taiwan is so much faster, can't help... haha). But hey, no worries! I'm back now, and I will stay. =)

Well, I found that my English is getting worse, that's why I decide to post in English from now on! Yeah!!!! I'm gonna save myself from this no-english-environment!!! =D

Okay, let's get straight to the point. To you who are reading this post, I wish you a Happy New Year! Yay, it's 2013!!! Let us get rid of any unhappy memories that happened to us in 2012 and begin a new journey in our lives!  A brand new year for a brand new life, right?

 As for me, I realize there are so many things to be done in 2013. (Will be posting the list in the future, not sure when though. Haha..). Anyhow, the most important thing is, DO NOT LET ANY RUBBISH MESS UP YOUR LIFE, be happy, and stay happy! ^o^

Oh one more thing. I swear on my own that I will not abandon this blog anymore! Sharing thoughts and my happiness made me feel good once, and I know it will make me feel good again. Because Sharing is Caring ma~~~ ^^

Yea, that's it for today. The first post in 2013, I chose to change. I want to make differences, I want a different life. =D



Argh, my English sucks!!! And my Chinese doesn't seem to improve also.= = I blame my laziness for this!!! Apparently it's time for me to pull myself together and live a life. =)

14/6 is the day

About 3 more weeks to go till my piano exam. Taking Grade 8 exam for the second time(failed last time *^^*) making me more nervous and stress. If I fail once again, I'm gonna quit.

 I SWEAR I WILL.

Maybe music just isn't my field. All these years I've been trying so hard, practising so hard, working on so hard, yet the outcome was never really satisfying. Maybe it's time to face the truth that I'm not that talented when it comes to music. Nothing to be ashamed of, there are others ain't good as well.

Furthermore, I am just nothing more than a normal girl.

Passion isn't gonna bring me any further in this path. All that's left is just the effort I had put into playing music. That is the only thing that keeps me from walking away. After all the hard work, I just shouldn't. And I couldn't.

I still love music. I still love music like I did years ago. The problem is it no longer loves me. All I can do now is to give myself one last chance, face this exam like a woMAN with no fear, and hope it gives me an opportunity to prove myself too.

Gonna be one tough month though. So, have to keep myself alive with so many 'Jia You's and try to survive. =)

What are 'Sorry's words?

Sorry I'm not being really good.

Never meant to hurt anyone here. But I'm just a girl like this. Maybe a little bit too straight forward, but I mean no harm, really.

Sorry for throwing more stones into the well.

Maybe I did this on purpose: writing all those things, showing all my bad feelings. But I was just trying to protect myself. You know, I'm scared, for being hurt... again...

Sorry I made this too easy to be understood.

Sometimes things are just too difficult to be concealed, especially those which are in my heart for years. Now only I realise that they have always been there, waiting to be spilled out, unlike what I thought for many years that I actually can leave them untouched forever.

Sorry I wasn't really there.

I was never a 100% good friend, never always been very very supportive or helpful. I don't blame anybody tagging me this way, but please, I always try hard to be one... in case no one notices. =)


All I want to say about is sorry sorry and sorry. Please don't think too much. I'm okay, I'm loved. And I love being cared.


True friendship lasts forever. So friend, I believe I will see you in eternity.

What A ... Ermm... Story


This is just a short post. Never planned to blog today, but since the thing makes me feel like want to write about it, I can't stop myself from typing words here.

Damn, it's funny how she felt unfair about our 'free time' and her 'busy time'. I didn't mean to let them do all the jobs. I felt guilty too, that was why I tried to help (Okay, 'help' maybe not the most suitable word because part of the job is also my responsibility, but I don't know what word to use).I really did try to offer my help, yet she talked so rude to me.

I can understand that she was tired and angry because I was not there when I supposed to. But I believc everyone there was tired too, and I bet they didn't feel so good for my absence as well, yet they could still smile at me and even joke with me!

So what's the point of talking so rude? She gets nothing except for my anger and worse impression for her. Those are nothing worth acting so no mannerly for. I really felt humiliated and unappreciated... And thought that this kind of girl.... needs lessons...

That's it. Done typing. Story finished. Bye, and thanks for wasting your time here. :P

My 2nd MUET, not good

I was actually surprised when I finally saw my name and date of examination on my computer screen. I couldn't believe that she actually managed to settle it for us, in just less than 1 day's time. That was so... unbelievable!

But I am glad she did, for I do not have to let the RM 61 goes to waste, or give up on the chance to achieve a higher band for my MUET.

The story is long : my friends and I registered for MUET as private candidates who choosed to take the test in our hometown instead of our current school(which is miles away from our place). This actually gave the teacher who was in charged in the MUET registration in our school some headache, but we insisted, and this is why I think we deserve the problem we face now(padan muka lo).

Last time when we checked for our registration, our names were not recorded in the registration list. Omg, so we went to the JPN. The sweet lady promised to help us... and yeah she did, and she succeeded, but our center is changed to our school(which means we are actually going one big round and back to the begining--doing lebih stuff). Nevermind, as long as I got to take my speaking test on 6th April and the test went on smoothly, which I consider as the first step to get a good band.

But the problem now is, although we are considered already registered for the test, our names are still not included in the school's list. So we do not have seats for our listening, reading and writing tests! WTH! Do we still have to go look for that lady again? What if she says there's nothing she can do? Or she refuses to help? So my MUET will have to be stopped halfway. That's just so.... not good.

What do I have to do now? The tests are on 16th April, and we are still blur. >.<

Why · Life?

Went out with my friends tonight. 3 of us, and we spent the whole night chatting.

We talked about life, present lifestyle. Hate it so much, but still have to live on. Why is life always full of hatred? Yet everyone's afraid to die?

We talked about future. What do we wanna be in the future? One said dentist, another said director. As for me, I found myself kept quiet, probably in deep thinking--to answer them, as well as myself. Hell, I really don't know. Why is life always so full of questions? Yet where's the answers?

We talked about studies. One changed to Art Stream, the other one continued on Science. We hated Form 6, but we tried hard to love it. Why do we always try to love something we don't? Yet we always fail?

We talked about memories, the only thing we own together, now and forever. Then only we realised that we did not take many photos when we were in school together. Miss those precious time, but we can only remember it without the photos. Why is life always full of regret? Yet very few learn to appreciate it?

And we talked about you. Miss you so much, every of us does. We miss your laughing, your tears, and the happiness you bring to us in all these years. Why do people only start to love someone when she is away? Yet no one ever try to fix this mistake?

Life's pathetic, isn't it? But not as pathetic as human does.
