空港に行きたい事

2012-01-17T04:32:00.000-08:00

今日は空港で彼の弟を迎えに行くつもりだ、初めて彼の家族を会える、嬉しかった。もう一年付き合っても、家族と友達はまだ私に紹介する。今回弟さんは台湾から帰って、彼は空港に弟を迎える、私も行きたいといった、会えると思う。それでも、最後彼は欲しくないから、行けなくて、がっかりだ。あまり解らないのに、一つ解る事は彼がまだ準備しない、だから紹介しない。、がっかりで、ちょっと怒ってる。ただし、私は何もできないので、ゆっくり待ってください。彼が嫌い！

休み

前の休みは毎日家で何もしなくて、あまり良くなかっただ。今学期の休み、先生を助ける、２３００中国語の慣用語句は中国語からマーレ語に翻訳する。２７日に完成したいと、毎日８５個を翻訳しなくちゃいけない。今日は三日目仕事をやっていて、本当につまらなくて、難しいんだ。大変だけど、たくさん新しい言葉を習える、いい経験だと思う。頑張るよ！家に帰りたいなあ。。。

It's Friday! Although there is still another paper on May, but I wouldn't have cared much. It has been my favourite day in a week, and so this day is chosen to enjoy some luxurious (overpriced) food and movie. I never come across this Japanese restaurant, namely Isaribi Tei until the sashimi lover found the promotion from Mydeal.com. Located in the heart of town, it seems to be isolated from the hustle and bustle of a fast-paced city, provides a cozy ambience but it is definitely a not-so-affordable place for a poor student like me. From JL's satisfied look when putting the slice of salmon into his mouth, I can tell that it should be delicious for people who know how to enjoy it. I don't mind to be a fat girl only if I am allowed to have unlimited scoop of the home made green tea ice-cream. JL's sesame ice-cream is unique enough because I don't think sesame ice-cream is available out there. It will serve as a great dessert for sesame lovers. Of course, I will never be satisfied by this little portion, so as JL the big eater and sashimi huge fan. We left the restaurant without feeling any full and we were caught in a heavy downpour when we left Isaribi Tei to get our car. Uhh, despite of the lunch date, we looked as if we just had a swimming date. Today is a little bit chaotic, and it's almost 8 when I reach home.

Wondering if anyone will pay RM82.90 for this

After a few days of hardcore reading and memorizing, it came to an end. This semester's effort in law translation was threefold of last semester, I could have done better though. Slightly disappointed with my own performance, a wonderful email from Japan Foundation cheered me up for the rest of the day. Oh yes! I will spend more than a quarter of my semester break in Japan! Never believe that I can be that lucky! Awww...I went down to the stadium for an evening run, after stop running for N weeks due to laziness and all sorts of excuses I can find. Due to the lack of stamina, I ran with a much slower pace than previous, with the thought that I can last longer. When I began to pant so badly, I looked at my phone's distance calculator - 0.44 km. Uhhh, not even a kilometre. To me, the most interesting part in running is gathering the morale to overcome physical weaknesses. Mentality strength always keep me on the track for another 2 kilometres. However, it did not work today because the big boss' instruction distracted me. I was asked to record a video clip of his last lap of workout. *hiss*

P/S: Bear in mind, it is not that I HAVE to present, but I LIKE to (although it is boring most of the time).

E.T. The Extra Terrestrial

2011-04-21T18:32:00.000-07:00

This movie touched me many years back. Today, it touches my heart once again after the second watch. ET is a real masterpiece of Steven Spielberg, a remarkable story of human and alien relationship from their purest heart. It worths my tears. Love it.

Only the library has antique VCR player

The very classic scene - Elliot and ET are flying over the moon on bicycle

Favourite quotes
Stay here, and grow up with me.
I will be here.

In the end, they have to part, but not their hearts.

Late Birthday Celebration

2011-04-21T18:09:00.000-07:00

Happy birthday Joo Hoai, the April baby.

She is the first person I ever known in this university, and she is my first roomate.

We lived along well, and I feel regret with my absence when we were staying together.

Perhaps we aren't so really 'sweet', yet I know how well she treats me, with very much of sincerity.

Deep in my heart, I truly appreciate her as one of my best friends here.

Our love is implied. JH, you have my wishes here.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The cutie of all time

Legendary of Dragons. What a stupid name! But I like it.

My very few besties in university. Here they are.

Post 207

2011-04-21T17:36:00.000-07:00

The subject I worried the most in this semester is over in just a glimpse. Dr. Aniswal's lectures are interesting, but I just can't relate what she taught with lexicography and terminology. My little brain is always as empty as it is after each lecture. That's the reason why I am so worried. The greatest part of this subject is none other than building a dictionary on our own. It sounds amazing, and in fact it is. The dreadful process of collecting 50,000 words corpus that made my eyes nearly fall off from their sockets and scrutinizing hundreds of concordance to derive a word's definition. Aww, I did it! This morning I felt demotivated, and my tummy was throwing tantrum because of last night's over spicy tomyam. Thanks to the bus driver who cheers my day by sharing his peanuts with me. I am glad that I did better than I expect. Regardless of the grade, I learnt something, that's what most essential afterall.

I completed it.

They did help, although they aren't the edition required. Thanks JL.

40 pages

I received a 40 pages notes an hour ago. I don't even read a quarter yet. My brain is still very empty.

My brain is cracked, just like this apple.

Adidas Run

2011-04-20T22:42:00.000-07:00

It will be a good experience, isn't it? Get my lazy bone to run 10km. We will not be running together literally, but I know running in the same race can somehow support you mentally. So, I signed up for the race.

Morning Greet

2011-04-20T13:52:00.000-07:00

Don't let what you have achieved influence what you might achieve - JL

So I move on. Try not to be traumatized by the A- as it could be an A in the end.

Greeted by kisses this morning. Thanks Dad. Very much of love.

I am working hard on my 207. Today looks promising.

Lost

The coursework grade was posted this morning, and as what I have expected, it turns out to be an A-. So what now, I am losing all my confident, I am not sure whether I can maintain an A in the last paper of my minor, how I wish I can. This A- took away all my confidence. I don't do well in my major all this while, B+ is the best I manage to achieve. Okay, just get rid of all these thoughts. I still have chance to read, to revise, and get a better grade in the coming 3 major papers. I study for knowledge, instead of grade, but please, I need good grades for my future. Please. Think on the positive side, as long as I tried my best, that's enough. I will play my part well. Get my feet back, enjoy my time with family, and carry on with my studies. Dear, thanks for being with me and guide me in my studies. Love.

An A for the last time. Please.

Dictionary...

2009-08-25T21:36:00.000-07:00

Dr. Haslina: "Get a copy of this book (Dictionary of Translation Studies) from library, put it under your pillow and study 10 pages every night before you sleep, until final test, you will be able to finish the whole book and get an A."

With a doubtful thought, I started to approach this book. The introduction killed me and I could hardly proceed, 10 pages a day? I doubt.

However, I am not asked to study Maths or Chemistry, I should feel contented.

Let's move on....

A long dark night with Translation Studies

2009-08-20T23:50:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since I last updated my blog. I am trying hard to study all the reference materials that I should read up in this 6 weeks before the school reopen, concerning about my mid-term test, and promise myself must not lag behind. The level of those materials seems far beyond my level, making me pacing extremely slow in order to finish it. I spent the whole afternoon and night reading it, but just manage to went through 10 pages without really understand what the author is trying to convey. Now, I started to worry... Hopefully I am worrying too much... Keep on going Jane!!! First approach is always harder, but things will turn better as I proceed. No matter how hard it is, as long as I willing to study, one day, I deem that I will be able to understand it.
