Pogress by Kokua スガシカオ

There is one song that I am addicted to recently. The first time I heard this song, the rhythm attracted me and  made me feel good. My days started with good mood after hearing this song.   wanna share with everybody around me the time I found out this song in youtube. still feel not enough and I wanna share it here!!

There is one sentence I like.

'だれも知らない世界へ向かっていく勇気を’ミライ’っていうらしい'

which means 'the courage to move forward to the unknown world is called braveness. '

the main message of this song is to courage people to take one more step forward no matter who you are. Be strong and confident.

Autumn

Weather is turning colder here. Fallen brown leaves could be seen somewhere down the trees along the path to my lab. People started to wear knitted tops, brown boots and jackets.
Its autmun.. which i have been looking forward to since 4 months ago.

I like autumn the most among the four seasons here. Not becuase the winter is too cold not the summer is too hot. But autumn is when I can enjoy the red,yellow,brown and green leaves. I like the redish brown color filling up the space around.Just want to say, I like autumn!! XD

Another two months for 2012 to end, but I believe this two months will be fulfilled with joyous, and satisfaction. Not going to make myself to look back an regret about what I've done or not done.
There are many like me outside worrying about this and that, So, let's stop worrying but do it!

Have an awesome autumn everyone!

Last sem in TNCT

So, the new semester, which will be the last for me in this college.
Everything is still the same. The college, the compound, the Japanese, the food in cafeteria.
BUT,there are new foreign students joined in our gang!!

I always wanted to make friends with ang-moh since childhood, and I get the chance in here, TNCT. There is a 6 month students exchange program between TNCT and Helsinki Metropolia UAS every year.
so this year, come a pretty ang-moh lady!! and three entao-bas. Hoping that we could enjoy the 6 months together!! *finger Crossing!*  okay I know, finger crossing just doesn't help in anything. Gonna brush up my English speaking and listening skills!

Well, having  an ang-moh in our department is actually quite rare actually and one Japanese of mine called me few hours ago, asking me for the audio CD of English practice book.. I said okay okay! I bring it to school tomorrow! but then just realized that I have the book, WITHOUT the CD. I was like, WTH for the trouble in the week of preparation for my presentation.  I remember seeing it somewhere in my box, but  couldn't find it.. Well, forgetting thing is my talent i could say, so its not surprising that I lost thing again. I might have thrown the CD months before. But I managed to get the audio file at last! hehehe.

the last sem is not as busy as I thought. Research is just going smoothly with the help of my handsome lecturer. I like him, or I should say we all like him. we always have a cup of coffee with roll cake on petri dish. Yeah, there is no problem with your eyes, its the petri dish we use to do biological experiments. haha. somemore the bigger than usual one. XD

                                           The homemade melon cheese cake on the petri dish!

I had a meaningful week last weekend which I actually went to a volunteer trip at Iwate prefecture, one of the area in northern region damaged by the earthquake and tsunami on March 2011. The town was totally swallowed by the tsunami, people lost their homes, properties and families, but they have not lose their hope. There are more than 300 thousands volunteers joined the volunteer activity. I managed to join this activity thank to MSAJ, and especially the president Lai and his friend, Vincent. I had fun besides learning the torture the people went through. Hoping to join more volunteer trip in the future!
I didnt know how it felt for being able to help people in need.

The 6 girls finally managed to reunite after a long time. miss them!

ということで、till then!

Moody

Summer holidays is nearing. 2 more days, it will be holiday.
 one more week, I will be back in Malaysia, my home.
But I am not excited at all.

I become so so lazy that I dont feel like doing anything. I need rest.
But I have been a lazy girl for a month. I think it should be enough already.
I have to think of a plan, a plan to prepare myself for the university life.
Still very childish, and not rational and mature enough to face problems and solve it.

I am so moody and down, or like the Japanese said 'yarukinai' these days that I think I shouldnt be like this. This is not how a matured person should do.

well, I am trying to do the best I can with this not-so-good mood.
Final exam ends tomorrow.
Gonna finish up my assignments and reports before going home.
Friend invited me to go Nagaoka for the best Fireworks show in Japan, but I have lots of stuff in hands, and had to reject him.
enjoy bro!
hope that I have the chance again.

Till then.

考上大学了!!!! :)

2012 年7 月17日,坐在研究室的电脑前.
9点, 10 点,11点,我还是好象平常那样,完全没有紧张.
11点半,开始坐立不安,心不在焉.
电脑 银幕是筑波大学的入试合格的site.
右手直按更新button.
正12 点,这时候应该是放榜了,但是还是银幕上还是写着「目无更新情报」
很紧张!还以为大学那里出了问题,迟了.
就这时候,他打电话来,问我结果怎样.
他朋友已经查到了!!
赶紧挂了电话,用兵苹果check!!!
你们猜结果是什么?

我合格了!!!!! 有548041! 有有有!!!
我合格了！！！！
高兴得冲出研究室，看到朋友和老师就大喊我合格了。
还给了老师和朋友一个拥抱。对，是我逼他们给我拥抱哈哈哈。
应该把他们吓坏了吧。

合格了，第一时间向老师报告，
然后回了他电话。没说一分钟就挂了。
这次合格考上大学，全靠小松前一晚的那番话。
不是应为他，我不会那么有自信去考试。
丰桥大学考/试后，我的信心其实是由30%变0%。
当时已经想放弃去考筑波大学。因为撕扬我没放弃。

这世界真的有奇迹。
感谢身边所有人，真的很感谢你们的支持和帮助。

和她一起庆祝!

戴那眼睛 是不是很可爱咧?哈哈

挑战才刚刚开始，彩馨你又得加油了。
表现出更好的自己！加油！

Writing Skill

I think I really have to brush up my writing skill in whatever languages I know currently.(*am going to learn more.hehehe). I was trying to update my blog on the GOOD NEWS I got a few that ago. Was hesitating to use Chinese or English(or Japanese?) and finally decided to write in English.
BUT! I know too few vocabulary and limited writing skill made the post like shit. I cant express the best using nice sentence! The only word I know is `happy`. Well, I want to tell how happy I am but I couldnt express how happy I feel.. OMG.

and so I gave up writing the post and instead I am writing this post. (wink :)  )
But I will update about my passing of university entrance exam soon. Well, yeah, I got the university I have been aiming, the University of Tsukuba..=)

School assignments are piling up like mountain, most have to be done in Japanese, well, all are in Japanese to be accurate. This is the period when the 5th year students in my kosen starting to prepare research report for the mid term presentation of our reasearch. Again, I have no confidence at all in finishing the report in time, and using good japanese language like the natives.
Japanese, English, Chinese, Malay. Japanese friends think I am awesome for being able to speak many languages (and I think this is the reason I got the university). But I am very unsatisfied with my proficiency of any of these. all half-filled water level (半桶水) hahaha.
What can I do to improve my writing and speaking skills?
Read more and write more and speak more?? watching movie and drama will be the best right? hahahaah, but dont have such time for it laahh..

Lets see how much I can mprove in half year time. OMG, this is difficult! but I will try my best.

告一段落

这半年来心里的包袱，终于可以告一段落。
为了考上大学，奔波了5 天，也打扰了几位学长的家。
考试，是让我很紧张，担心，但是不至于水不着觉。
这次的考试，可以说是开心的事情。
可以遇见我不舍的学长，好像以前被他们呵护，关心的感觉，好怀念。那三天，过得好开心。接下来见的两位学姐也是很贴心的指导帮助。
在国外，朋友和学长门就像家人，互相帮助，互相支持。
更幸运的是，我在日本遇见的贵人，如果不是因为他，我当天不会那么有自信的去考试。

大学成绩见在下个星期二，和星期五放榜。
现在的心情，其实不会很复杂。
也许知道自己已经尽力了，所以结果并不重要。
对自己这次的表现，还蛮满意的。
已经最好的自己表现出来，能不能考进那间大学，
应该是靠命运了吧。

休息两三天，再找回一直以来的自己，重新开始奋斗。

#1 两位很亲切的学姐

#2 这是我最想考上的大学的图书馆。环境很不错吧！

#3 筑波大学

对自己说，お疲れさんです。
