Finally I am able to get a copy of Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms with the help of my aunt. It is available in Gurney Plaza currently. Lucky enough, right? hehe...I am thrilled of it as before this I failed to get it from major bookstores. Such a relief! I wont't have to beg my friends in different states anymore.
Bad news comes right after a good news. My best friend sprained her ankle during taekwondo training which prompted her to seek treatment from a traditional doctor. Sincerely wish that she will recover soon.

Burn off fat
Just returned home after having dinner in mamak stall with my friends. Having study in UPSI for a year more, today is just the first time I made good use of the gymnasium that is by playing badminton with friends. Strange right? haha...Partly because I did not have any companion to play sports with me before this. We have to bring our own net but no charges for the badminton court. Should have come earlier to play =p
We took turns to play as we were only managed to book a court. I sneaked to the squash court when it was my friends' turns. I learnt to play squash with the guidance of my friend, Jason. After briefing me some basic techniques and rules, I practised by myself and it was not bad actually. Hehe...hope that I can play with him after much practice. Indeed, I sweat from head to toe. Both games were really a very good exercise for me especially squash. In the long run, squash can increase one's stamina and physical strength. I burned tons of calories today! Wow...looking forward to next practice!

Sigmund Freud
I came across Sigmund Freud's theories during the class of literary criticism. His theories are mostly based on sexual characteristics which i disagree most of them. Among them are Oedipus Complex, Castration Complex and Electra Complex. He stated that a male child is prevented from having incestuos desires for his mother by the fear of castration by his father. I think this theory is less applicable to normal human being It is illogical and ridiculous too. His theories made my class a bit dull today as I am not interested at all.

Public speaking
During the class of English Communication II, three students were picked randomly for public speaking. Each of them was required to speak impromptu for about 2 minutes. They shared a same topic which is human interest. Miss Fairus commented after each of them finished speaking. Some of the speakers' problems were speaking too fast, unclear pronunciation and being too nervous. I think I would have the same problems too. Worst is blackout will happen once I panic! Hope I will be able to cope this when it is my turn to speak.

Boring Sunday....zzzzzz
A very ordinary Sunday for me. Indeed I feel a bit awkward as there was no interesting activity except going to the library. Shouldn't Sunday be a bright day with joys? Today is just a bit dull.
I was lucky enough to get a second language acquisition book from library as I expected it to be unavailable after Dr Maizatulliza mentioned it. Seriously I need motivation for my study !! Even until now I prioritize entertainment instead of study! Come on, wake up Kit Wai! Someone should have given me a big slap!

A tiring day
My mood turned bad once i opened my eyes this morning=(
My first taekwondo training had finally reached. I am taking Taekwondo II this semester after finished first phrase during the last semester. This time the training session is much strenous and harder as well. Means that I must prepare myself better in order to have a strong stamina to perform well. No more late coming, truancy, funny excuses and joking during the training as the coach is quite strict and really serious when guiding us. Hope that tomorrow I won't end up agonizing in muscle pain after the strenous training.

Day with fresh Teslians
Finally is time to meet my juniors after two weeks since university starts. We met each other in an activity organised by the Chinese Club. Only a few juniors were able to attend and I have tried my best to help them in adapting university life. Two of the boys are twins which are from Sarawak while the other two girls come from Selangor and Sarawak respectively. They were quite worried about their results in future as they kept on asking me the average pointers TESL seniors achieve. For sure I assure and give encouragement to them. Hope they could adapt university life soon!

Enjoyable outing!
Just reach home. I am quite tired actually, have been away for the whole day with my friends. We went to Mid Valley to enjoy the movie ''Johnny English" which is presented by Mr Bean ( Rowan Atkinson). Laughter pervaded the whole cinema right at the beginning of the movie. We can't stop laughing throughout the movie. Rowan Atkinson is so talented and funny which makes it such a great movie. I managed to stop by Cha Time and have a cup of roasted milk tea. Looking forward to next outing!

Day of sounds~~~~
Today is my first lesson of phonetics and phonology. Obviously it was a day of all kinds of sounds whether consonant or vowels. It is fun having class with Dr Che Ton who is a very humorous, lively and dedicated lecturer. Three hours of lesson was full of enjoyment, laughter and excitement. I love phonetics!! It's time to go...have to find a tongue twister as part of the homework today. Bye =)

First blog created
Welcome to my new blog! I write blog for the first time in my life as instructed by my lecturer, Ms Fairus. Blog is another way for me to express my feelings, thoughts and opinions in words. I believe that my writing skills, vocabulary and usage of English words could be improved by updating blog daily. Today is my first class of English Communication II with Ms. Fairus. I hope to learn more from her to enhance my English level.
