A weird situation

Today I am going to share a weird situation which happens to me recently..
As I have left my hometown to further my study in IPG, I would visit my sister who stays near to my college when I am free. She is staying with her boyfriend who is going to be my brother-in-law soon. Everytime when I go back to her house, she would take care of me. Sometimes, they would bring me to have a Japanese meal or local food.. The weird situation is that the cashier or the waiter would asks money from me when it's time to have a bill. Then, my sister would tease me by saying that "Wow, Lywen has a boss look..You see! The waiter or cashier often asks money from her, but not us.."
Facing this kind of situation, I will just give them a smile. Actually, I am wondering about this weird situation too.. Why the cashier or the waiter likes to ask money from me instead of finding my future brother-in-law? ;-D

Sem Break Has Started

My semester break has started and it will be long for one month. To me, one month is quite short actually because time flies! After this sem, I will step in my third semester in IPG (teacher trainees' college). For your information, I am going to sit for the final exam in the coming semester. This final exam makes me feeling quite nervous as it will affect my study. If I fail, I will have to resit the paper. I might be kicked out of the college if I do not manage to pass the second time..It sounds so scary!

In order to prevent something terrible happen to me, I have decided to bring back my thickest reference book so far, namely "Access Literature". It will accompany me for the whole month. Although I take English as my major in the college, I still feel shy to speak English in front of the public because my classmates always tease me about my pronounciation. I really hope that I could improve my pronounciation too in this holidays. There is a saying goes, "where there is a will, there is a way." I believe I can do it if I do more practice and listen more to native speakers.

It seems like I have forgotten to mention the function of "Access Literature".. =P
As you read the title of the book, you will understand that it is something about literature. As one of my lecturers, Miss Nenny has always said, literature is somehow like our minor in the college. As an English learner, we should try to understand the literature because it means a lot in life. It is not just about English but also associated with Geography, History, Culture and so on.. We had done a mock exam during this sem.. Unfortunately, my result for English Studies (Literature) is just enough to pass the exam. It's really time for me to work harder.. ;-)

In conclusion, all after all, what I have to do is read, write, speak and listen! I hope I can have a little improvement after one month starting from today. Cheers! =P

Sleepless night

It is a sleepless night in IPG here. The clock has already pointed to a quarter past one in the early morning. Mothers' Day is just around the corner. I think this would be the reason why I can't sleep tonight..

People around me keep mentioning Mothers' Day. Some of my classmates are going back to celebrate Mothers' Day with their mother in the coming weekend. Frankly speaking, I am so jealous to them who have a mother to be pampered with. haha~

Since my mother has gone, Mothers' Day is actually meaningless to me. Sometimes, I would pretend that I don't know about this festival as I haven't heard about this festival before. This is one of the way that I would use to prevent myself from falling into the solemn again. However, I think I miss my mother again. Sometimes I would hope that she will be back to my side again, but I know, she won't in reality. I wish I could cry out loudly in front of somebody who I trust so that I could release all my sadness.

It is really so lucky for me to meet some lovely lecturers in my college. One of them is Madam Ang. I gave her a wishing card today and she repaid me with a warm hug. I am very thankful to her as she was willing to lend me her shoulder. =') A warm hug can really cure a broken heart.. Although I still miss my mother badly, I feel better after receiving her hug.
