okaes i shall update my blog now for a while, before trying to get back to the books. hmmm...
well, i had my first thai tutorial today. boy was i intimidated? there're 6 ppl in my class, and ALL of them speak excellent thai la! i felt like i was the worst there. Seriously! It's like, after not touching the lang for almost 4 months now, it's really gone rusty for me, but i am appalled at how there's this girl who had lapsed 1 or 2 sems and like she speaks far better than i do! Am i ashamed or what? haha.
Ah well, i so refuse to believe that i'm the worst! I'm gonna take this week to really brush up i tell u! Head and not the tail!!! Amen! Amen!!
Just now, i found out, that there's probably gonna be a thai emersion (is it spelt this way? haha) at the end of the year. Initially when i heard about it, i was very keen to go. Well, this is, a chance of a lifetime afterall rite? but, after thinking further, i realise there are quite a no. of factors that'd stop me from going. No.1: most importantly, it's the M factor. It's gonna cost between 1000-2000 dollars for the month, not including personal expenses. Seems ok, but to me, it's a lot! Plus, if i somehow manage to save that much, it'd probably mean that i won't be able to afford my long planned holiday with my cg people anymore. :( me is one who don't like my plans spoilt! especially when it's such nice plans. No.2: if it's gonna be at the end of the year, that'd mean that i'd miss Christmas here. And Christmas here's Sooooo awesome! Last Christmas did certainly mark a very very nice warm fuzzy time for me, spent with my church friends and family. Nostalgia even as i speak. Imagine having to spend Christmas there without my friends? Moreover it's a buddhist country. Will probably not be so nice? But, somewhere in me, i still wanna go! Am i lost or what?
Hiya dunno la. Lord You help me k? Help me provide for my every need. Every decision, let it come from You! AmeN!
