Note

9 Feb : CNY aka Lunar New Year , feels weird not being at home. I would be in the car ride heading back to kampung, meeting up relatives, steamboat and BBQ in the night with dad's side of the family.

Luckily I had my reporter brother to send me pictures throughout that day so I don't feel so distant from home :)

12 Feb : My final German paper (B1) for the course. I was working my ass off hard for the past 4 months , just to ensure I can move on the next level. It was quite taxing as I have to keep revising everyday and working harder than my coursemates, because my basics was shaky and I know it, So does my lecturers in the beginning of the course.

Although it was just ONE paper, a language paper; One cannot learn a language overnight. It takes dedication and hard work through a long period of time. Once you stop that beat, you can loose it, with a snap of your finger. Just like how my Mandarin and BM is fading away. 

The papers are comprised of listening, grammar, reading comprehension and picture essay writing. A hiccup occurred during the first part of exam. Instructions was not stated out clearly and I almost lost 50% from the grammar section. Luckily the examiners gave us a second chance, no extra time given but we could finish answering the grammar section during the second part of the exam. Phew.

Lunchies with coursemates were good. I could finally relax and enjoy CNY. So much food for lunch and they tasted really good!! 

Couldn't sleep too well that night.

13 Feb : RESULTS!

I have decided earlier that if I have to redo the same level of German, I would head home. The course fees is not cheap mind you. And I don't want repeat everything ALL over again. I want new challenge! New things to learn.

In the morning, I was very anxious. I think I pass, but not too sure. Nervous feeling filled my mind.

The warm caring loving Mr J saw this and decided to accompany me to get my results.

My appointment was at 9.40AM. 

There I was, waiting outside the room, awaiting for my turn. Couldn't stand still and lightly hopping around while Mr J eyes was filled with warmth. There's always this calm feeling when you look into his eyes. 

The time has then come. I. MADE. IT! My results was competitive! From passing on spot in October '12 to double the marks. I actually needed 4 more points to jump 1 level. LOL. Obviously that's not possible, but one can dream right? Haha. 

That feeling of satisfaction when you know your hard work paid off , plus you receive a praise :) 

Constructive feedback: Work on my listening and speaking skills this holiday. 

In 1 month, I will start my B2 German course. Lots of pressure is on me because my B1 lecturers told the B2 lecturer about my quick progress and to keep an eye on me. *faints* The B2 lecturer has approach me a few times about how excited she is for the next semester. She had sparkly eyes during these conversations *worries* 

At 8.30pm, I knocked out in bed while watching A Bug's Life. 

Something happened on this day too. We both locked ourselves from the room, and to add matters worse, with no mobiles. *shakes head* Die Karotte ist schon gekocht. 

14 Feb : The second time Mr J and I could spend time together during Valentines Day. Falling asleep together, a walk by the park, having home cook Korean BBQ and a box of chocolate. Calm relaxing day. There's nothing I could ask for more. 

Thinking back how we met and where we are now has been great. 

"And yes pingu, I still like to stare into your eyes 

whenever and wherever. 

Thank you for always being there, 

doing whatever you could to bring a smile and laughter,

and believing in us. 

PS: I will try not to be so difficult :P  

Me loves you. "
