On Eagles' Wings

I was actually very nervous about Spanish exam. I mean, actually I was thinking, Nah. I'll be okay. Spanish is okay. I did fine for my quiz. I'm not doing too bad. Spanish won't be all that bad. But I have this phobia about thoughts like that. Whenever such thoughts cross my mind, I'll shut them out. I'll tell myself not to be over-confident. Cos it just might bite me in the butt. Maybe to teach me a lesson (for being too confident) I'll do badly in the exam. Sounds like a jinx, huh? Although I don't believe in jinxes. >.< So I (kinda) worked hard. Went through our entire text book and work book. Did some exercises online. Prepared and wrote out sample essays for possible topics. Here's one, entitled "Hobbies":       Soy una chica normal. Pero tengo muchas aficiones! Me encanta cantar. Todos los dias, yo canto en el bano! Mis amigas dicen estoy ruidosa! Sin embargo, yo todavia canto en el bano. Tambien, me gusta muchi...

My, oh my. How time has flown ! I just spent the past 3 hours (re-)watching How I Met Your Mother episodes. @.@ Phew. Sociolinguistics----DEAD AND GONE !!! whoooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~ :P Although I had a minor panic attack last night (there was just so much to study and so much to memorize and I only finished writing my notes at like 9.00pm at night and the exam's in the morning but I haven't even started memorizing all the stuff yet and what if what I wrote in my notes to study for and focus on is not coming out in the exam but what I chose and decided to leave out--cos there's just too freakin' much to READ--is what's really coming out for exams and OMG I don't have much time to even really memorize what I already have OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG I'm so gonna dieeeeeeee T.T) I got relatively calmer by 1.00 am in the morning. Which was scary really, cos I was worried I would not be able to wa...

Este es Maria. Ella es mi mayor hermana. Ella tiene veintiseis anos. En esta foto, ella lleva su favorito camiseta negra y pantalones vaqueros azules, pero su sandalias son rojas. Ella es alta pero yo soy baja. Ella es rubia y tiene pelo largo. Tambien ella tiene los ojos marones y una boca pequena. Creo que ella es simpatica y generosa pero a veces es habladora. Realmente, ella es muy guapa. Translation: This is Maria. She is my older sister. She is twenty six years old. In this photo, she is wearing her favourite black t-shirt and blue jeans, but her sandals are red. She is tall but I am short. She is blonde and has long hair. She also has brown eyes and a small mouth. I think that she is sweet and generous but sometimes she is a bit talkative. She is really very beautiful. My Spanish homework for the holidays. Done ! :D (And you know I didn't just copy and paste from Google Translate when you don't see any  é or  ñ in my short essay ! :D *proud*) ...

Hola !  Que tal?  Me llamo Melosa Mendes. Y tu? Como te llamas? Tengo veintidos  años. Soy de Seremban, y soy Malasia. Soy de estudiante de el idio ma In gles. Translation: Hello ! How are you? My name is Melosa Mendes. And you? What is your name? I am twenty two years old. I am from Seremban, and I'm Malaysian. I study English. haha I'm not sure if that's right. Self-composed, y'all. Not copied from any text book. Impressive? :D Not really. We've learned much more than this in just three  classes. Darn. My head feels about to explode ! I hate grammar ! >.< And we've already learned to count to a hundred in Spanish. And even ask for a person's telephone number (Cual es tu numero telefono?). You know, just in case we meet a hot Spanish guy . But I doubt I'd be able to catch his number -- they speak so fast !!! @.@ And I hate grammar ! (Oh, did I say that already?) But no matter what, I'm still  loving Spanish classes....

It's back to business, people. 8am classes, 2-hour tutorials, lecturers who can talk for 3 hours non-stop (I find that utterly amazing ! @.@), assignments, food deprivation, and having to climb six flights of stairs every day to my humble second abode here in non-civilization Bangi. But, being back in Bangi also means awesome partners-in-crazy friends, teasing and good fun, laughter, lunches together and loads of catching up. :) I never thought I'd say this, but. It's good to be back :D (I must have lost my mind. =.=) This semester's gonna be another tough one I think. 7 subjects this time. Aiyo . >.< Life is kinda boring at the moment. Have just had the first few classes of the week so not much is going on, yet. No assignments, no homework. Just some pre-readings and internet search work. Spent yesterday afternoon watching 5 episodes of The Mentalist. (Beginning of semesters are always too  free. haha) The highlight of my week? SPANISH CLA...
