dichan phuut phasaa thay dii maak!

:))

I kinda redeemed myself today. When we had a meeting with the prof, and I brought up my points and she actually said they were very good!! :) well apparently I was kinda right all along, just that in the group there were two others supporting the opposing perspective and I was not eloquent enough to stand strong for mine.

Haha it feels good to know my contribution ain't bs... I think this sem I learnt alot about myself working with so many new ppl this intensively for this four mods.. really damn GG can some group members! So many different working styles. But I guess the pressure and "group politics" isn't as bad as I think it can be, prolly the kind I'll face next yr when i grad.

Anyway, My first *secret* practice just now!! It is officially two am now and I am procrastinating my case analysis to write this, but. I'm just elated I've learnt smth new! :)) One more up on the list of things I can do! Plus thai. I was waiting for the bus today and while chatting with someone, realised that I am really glad I took it up! I really love learning a new language, and I'm kinda good at it! Even though today was really upsetting cos I was so super tired I kinda dozed off in language class, which was ultra upsetting. I literally walked out of the classroom shoulders slumped and feeling at the bottom of the world.

But i realise I'm much better at languages than some ppl! At least those i observe in class.. maybe it's cos I'm chinese and it's easier for us to learn thai? Did u know we are actually better at picking up thai than the Vietnamese? At least that's what i observed. Cos they just don't seem to get the tones right, and it's actually quite hilarious in class. Anyway I'll be meeting lots of Thais in US and Cass says they will absolutely love me if I can speak it.. haha something that helps a little to ease the looming fear of meeting strangers alone..

okays shucks I better get down to work. or sleep at least. Will be going flying with Maoch in a private plane on friday!! Awesome. One more first! :)
