Am learning spanish due to a sudden fit of eager inspiration. or rather, attempting to. i realise i'm good at pronouncing stuff and spelling stuff, its the putting together a sentence part thats not easy. which explains why children need years to learn just one language (not even to master it). all the grammar and sentence structure stuff is tough dude. i mean we're already bilingual (note that i didnt say
effectively bilingual haha) plus many of us possess inklings of other languages. its pretty difficult to pick up other languages. ironically enough, i've found out that the more languages you know, it becomes both easier AND harder to learn other languages.
for e.g. , once you learn french, its easier for you to learn italian, portuguese or spanish, because they all stem from latin. i never even knew that they were all Romantic languages. however, with the fragments of japanese inside my head (remnants of 3rd lang), lg language (lols), and of course chinese and english, it can become confusing sometimes. with a quick count thats already 3 1/2 languages inside my head, if lg counts as one haha.
but still...i love learning new languages. its just so cool. by the time i'm 40, i want to be effectively multilingual in like 9 languages. lets see. i wanna learn spanish, french, jap, korean, italian, portuguese, and latin.
c'est impossibles, maybe. but no harm trying :)))
my parents are leaving for krabi this weekend!
yesssssssss. whoops i meant er, bon voyage!
i am so happy theyre going to be out of the house. go, yes go! shoo! sayonara! ciao! au revoir! i love empty houses haha. got into another argument with them today. so irritating la. first off, they scold me for being late for tuition. then they themselves arrive late for picking me up. then they dont even take the initiative to tell me where we're going for dinner. then while ordering dinner, they totally ignored my input.
wtf.
i threw a tantrum right there on the spot. gave my dad the cold shoulder throughout dinner. childish i know but tell me a better solution. if theyre gg to think of me still as a child and treat me like a child, then i'm going to bloody
behave as a child. you cant have ur cake and eat it too. its a vicious circle yeah but its universal as well i suppose. wait it IS circle right. oh yeah it is. haha i rmb cuz whitby penalised me for it for my pc paper. circled my "vicious cycle" in bright red many many times. i was also the idiot who wrote "reader" instead of audience (not throughout the paper though) and who confused past and present tense in one sentence. haha so malu. shit man whats happening to my english. luckily he didnt penalise me for it and i still got a decent grade. if u count 32 as decent. oh wells highest was 34 so i'm contented i guess.
i'm so sad i missed A1 for gppp!!!!!!!!!! : (((( haha no la i'm happy with my A2. only 2 ppl in my class got A1 so.
is it just me or do i see a self-pacificating trend here?! lols.
i wanna watch pirates 2! and kaybwockssssss.
and i dont want the rest of my results to come back.
happy birthday jonathan depp!
