Oh man,... I'm realizing my chinese is really getting from bad to worse. Been conversing with my fren in chinese via twitter and i realized that i not only have alot of words i do not know how to write, but sometimes i'll even be confused over which word to choose from.. aiyo... this is bad. how can i call myself a chinese like that?! and i think that is largely due to lack of usage ever since i was done with the chinese language in JC. how i wished i have better grasp of the language, especially the vocab and use phrases like idioms. It's really quite a waste how those yan yu and chen yu that i learnt and memorized back in sec schools days have long been forgotten. wished i had a deeper interest in the chinese lang previously and now i regret not cultivating a liking for chinese novels and readings. now all i can say is that i know how to speak the lang, yet there are still lots of vocab and descriptions i do not know. oh well.

What with the finishing of my exams on 30th april, now im a so-called free person! :) for now im happy, but i also have a little of apprehension, not knowing what's next. well, for now, i shall bask in my holiday mood and get ready for my trip to Hong Kong next week! cant believe its next week! seems like there's still alot of things not done nor prepared. well, at least i know that my passport has not expired nor is close to expiring! after the lesson last year, i doubt i'll forget to always check when is the expiry date! glad that i could go overseas with my frens, it's gonna be an awesome experience :)

another thing to be happy for is that my dad is getting an iPad 2 for my family! which also means i get to use it! hahah as long as my bro dun lay hold onto it too soon, nor too persistently, ill be able to use the iPad and bring it along to wherever i go! YaY! surprised that my dad would just randomly say that he was thinking of buying one to put at home for us to use and he really ordered it less than a day! hhaha fast and efficient :D

recently i've also been thinking that sometimes, i can be ungrateful for the things around me or the people around me. sometimes i think i take people and things for granted and i fail to convey my thanks and i really hope in future, i'll be a more thoughtful person and not say things or do things so carelessly. i really need to thank my parents especially for bringing up and taking such good care of me these 21+ years and to meet my every wimp and tolerate my temper and willfulness. They've always thought to do the best for me and help me in ways that they can. i know that sometimes i'll be angry at them or have tantrums just cuz things dun go my way or i hear things which i dun like, but i know that without them, i would not be where i am and i would not have lived as comfortably as i would have. so i thank you mum and dad! i know its kinda hard for me to say face to face but i'll try my best to show through my actions :)

i also wanna thank God especially cuz all these years, ever since when i was younger, God has always been my rock, He has always been my comforter and protector. no matter if i was sad or confused or helpless, i know that i can always turn to Him for help and thus, He has been someone who i can count on when i cant seem to count on anyone else. He is also always there in ways that no one can. i can never thank God enough and i never show enough love for Him but i hope that i'll continuously spread His love and be a good testimony for Him. thank you God, for everything.
