German paper is less than 7 hours away. German, a very interesting class. My class is a very small one, just 9 of us. The lecturer get to know every each of us in person. Initially, I was quite in nervous during the class because I had to voice out more than 3 times in every lecture. That is quite "arrghhh, why me again..oh no!" But very soon, right before Miss Katrin left us for German, i used to be natural during the class. On the spot questioning is no longer a huge problem for me. We used to laugh alot during the class. I will never forget how Miss Katrin demonstrate the word "geboren" aka born. She is kind enough to answer all our lamest question about Germany. Through her, we got to have a closer look of Germany, which sounded like a very peaceful city where peoples are inactive at night. That means no yamcha, no movie and the most interesting part, they cook always and their main transportation is Fahrrad aka bicycle! Unfortunely Miss Katrin left us at the middle of the course. Then very soon, she is replaced by a Malay lecturer, Frau Zarina who are quite plump physically. At first I really do not really like the way she distribute the lecture. It is because since in the first class I found out that she use more Bahasa Melayu to conduct the lecture. I was like "hey, this is university madam. use english ok", but of course i did not voice it out. Well, she turned out to be a quite funny and friendly lecturer. And I cannot deny that she had a better pronountation, maybe because she is not a native German speaker. From her, we got to know how to twist our tongue for a better pronountation. She is quite efficient too, she called every each of us just to tell us where and when is our replacement class. She even sms-ed us for the coursemaark. The sms sounded as follows:
"Esther, ur carry mark is 35.5.
Pls study verbs
conjugation. Look at the
pvs papers that we'd
done. G luck! Frau zarina "
This is just so sweet (is this a correct word I doubt). Shall I call her during the holiday so that she will give me an extra mark *lolz lolz*
Anyway, thanks a lot to Miss Katrin and Frau Zarina for enlighten me during this 2 months German course. Danke

glad..but not happy :p
The Digital System Final Paper is over. Though it is over, I am still not feeling happy about it. Why? I just never expected this kind of questions will come out. It is really tough, I was stucked on every question that i did. Felt cheated as well. The question in the paper is just totally different with tutorial given. Is this so-called, self studying method, which means we need do a lot of out of lecture extra work. Now I know why mrs shahiman said i left this one for you to as a homework. The time is just not allowing as this semester is very pack itself. We do not actually finish our lecture on time so the lecturer end up skiping this and that. Well, i understand that I cant blame anyone. Maybe this is close relation with my learning attitude. Some says A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E = 100%. Maybe it is the time to have a major change, like what he had said before. Anyway, that is the end of the hectic period. Another two paper to come, but not so tough(i hope).
Had my 1st log in to art.com as well. Drawn my first ever art pieces online . Hanni say not bad, but i just know that i have no special gift in drawing. Anyway, enjoy doin it, the software is not bad. Much better than paint brush. Not so restricted by the mouse movement. The software just know which spot that you want to fill with color. The main advantage is user does not need to download the software. And registeration is not required. *thumb up* and the images you had drawn were saved on its database itself. After you completed the image, you just need to save it and send it to your email, and the link to that graphic will be there. Other than that, image can be shared with others email user as well. Overall, an ideal tool for creative drawing online! Oh ya, the tools also show you how the original user draw the graphic in the form of flash.

Sleepless night
It is 5.20am in the morning. I am not purposely to wake up to study. I just cant sleep properly. It had been three hours lying on the bed, thinking of a lot of things. Thinking bout the past, my family and also future. It happen again to me to have a sleepless night. I really hate it when i cant sleep soundly at night, moreover this is the few days before final exam. Maybe I should concentrate on the studies now, but i am just not psycologically fit for that. Sleep, everyone need it, but i need it the most.
Lesson of the day: Do not take coffee after lunch. Not even a NESLO, else you will end up like me. Physically awake but mentally empty.

important, at least for me!
This is very very important, at least for me. Digital system coursework mark is out today. Downloaded the file and saved it to my desktop. Ms power point is running so slow on my pc. It took me more than 3 mins to log in to that file. So, immediately i scrolled to my id 10211xxxxx, saw my assignment marks. 19/20, good good...too good. Never think of to get this minus one to full mark. We do not even completed the whole project. We did nothing on the main code, but yet the lecturer mark us as 19. That is too hard to believe. The first thing i wanted to do is to inform my groupmate, Asa.Anyway, instead of that, I scrolled down and see hows the other groups performing. Not bad, the average is around 16-18. Then only i realized i didnt take notice on the midterm mark whichwas just a cell next to assignment mark. So, i scrolled up again to check my mark. Oh..that was unbelievable. I scrolled to top again. Not wrong. Back to my id again. Yes, very confirm. So here come the main point....I get 40/40 for mid term. I am so so glad with it. Never in my dream I dreamt of getting full marks in MMU. I do not think I am doing well on the paper either. But that was it, unless it was a typo mistake of the lec. Hope he will not double check it. That makes me actually carrying 39/40 for the final paper..Felt very relieved. Sms-ed bzai on that stuff oso.. Back then, she got 19/20 for her midterm ....Maybe I am sharing some of her luck.But i win her...*lolz*She said that is a good influence of her...Perhaps...Hope this is a good beginning for this course....Damn happy yo! Mayb this is nothing much..but i am just glad....Yes, esther, Go!go!go!

announcement to myself
With the end of Digital System assignment, now officially i announce the start of study week. Another 4 days to go before the final paper for Digital System. The assignment period is a crazy one, really fed up when the is uncorrectable syntax error and even worse when i cant get the desired output. Luckily managed to finish it(at least part of it that we targeted to complete) in time. Thanks to Asa for the hardwork and for adopting me as your groupmate. Situation went worst when we are going to have our main touggh paper on the first day of exam week itself. That is just too bad. Why cant the lecturer book another not so early day for us?? Aikss....this means another 4 sleepless day to go. I better organize my time properly. I just have no much time to lepak around. Anyhow, I might be very free from 9 jan onwards, but i needed lots of cash....for shopping of course. Though that I day had went for a shopping trip with shyan, but that is just not enough. I need to get another pair of jeans and skirt to complete my collection for CNY. Yes, CNY is around the corner....new clothes, angpow, fren gathering, gamble, cookies, candies is coming very soon. Yes, another 4 days to go and I will be like a bird. esther ....Go!go!go! You can make it! You can do it because sugar had done it. sugar no longer a sugar except in deep in sugar heart, Sugar will be a memory. And with the date of 1jan2006, sugar no longer stays the the same circle again. She will be free, taking the first step and another step, seeking for the right one. But she just decided to be freed too late of the day, because she felt that is a promise and she do not want to break it. But now, nothing matters too much to her already. Yet, " Ich liebe dich, als eine Freundin"

This is a little song for you (i am not goin to sing for you anyway)
My Favourite Things
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favourite things
Cream coloured ponnies and crisp apple streudles
Doorbells and slaybells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favourite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winter that melts into spring
These are a few of my favourite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don't feel so bad
Well, what is your favourite things...
-soya milk? pai gu wang? 2 burger in one shot? nano ipod(though u dont have it yet? what ever it is...get well soon!)
