1st wedding anniversary - 28/2/2015

I guessed after today, we can't exactly be termed as newlyweds anymore.
The ironic thing is, we have not even officially moved in together. (Blame the BTO for that)

This one year of marriage really opened up my eyes; I never knew that I have so much emotions bottled inside me, or that I could turn hysterical. I would have never believed that of myself to do such things. It makes me unsure of myself; of what I can do.

There were definitely laughter and joy, and there were all the fights, tears and long nights where I tried to make sense of everything. Every mind works differently; ours included. I got to admit that if the issues are brought up now, I will still be upset about them.

There were also many issues that were addressed, like how we managed to overcome our lack of privacy in our own houses by making a trip to JB monthly to spend time together, or to stay over at each other's houses once in a while. Granted, it wasn't the easiest of times, especially when both our beds are catered for one body, not two. And let's just say that both our parents were not happy with the arrangements either.

When east meets west - That's the time when everything turns chaotic. I would dare to say that I am not the typical daughter-in-law, or wife depending on how you see it. I don't just give respect to any old tom,dick and harry - respect is not a given. I can't stand how old folks think that they automatically gain respect just by being older - that goes the same for my relatives too. I will just speak my mind when I think that they are doing dumb stuff, and it all starts from there. And I admit, I love sex. And it is fucking irritating to be waiting till everyone is asleep before we can get on the action, especially when I'm not the most patient person in the world - I bet PL can attest to that.

Despite all the difficulties that we faced, I'm truly glad that we pulled through this difficult year and hopefully have a better second year of marriage. =D

Review: Learning spanish with Wlingua Spanish

It has already been a dream of mine to learn Spanish but due to the astronomical cost involved in picking up Spanish at a language school ( I was looking at las lilas school ), I gave up. So, while I was randomly surfing the net, I came across this app, Wlingua Spanish , which has a 7 days free premium trial and it seems to have quite good reviews on google play. As such, I downloaded the app and started using it. What can I say, it's awesome! I don't know how the basic plan looks like since I am still on my premium trial, but the layout of the course is really pretty good. According to the app, it covers up to B1 of the Spanish course, which equates to around 3 years of study in a language school. That's more than good enough for beginners like us. Below is a screenshot of my progress in 4 days, and I have been spending around 4-5 hours each day on this app. It seems like I got to take a long time even before I can complete the A1 course. T.T This app has a rewar...

Review: NUR1113 (Active Ageing in Singapore)

Apparently this is a year one nursing module. This is another module which is highly bidded for, and a relatively easy module. Lectures can be skipped, as long as you read the lecture slides on your own. All the information had been pasted into the slides, rendering the lecture useless. The lecturer usually just reads from the slides. Tutorials are easy. Nothing much to prepare, and basically, they are logic questions. I remember doing a powerpoint presentation for this module. We also did random experiments in tutorials. However, one thing not good about being the minority in a close-knitted faculty means that you can't really interact with the rest of the module mates. They all have a similar timetable, meaning that you have to suit their timing. Something to consider if you are taking language modules huh.

Review: SCCIOB - Diploma in Translation and Interpretation

Wanted to do this earlier but I have been sooo busy. This diploma consists of 6 modules. DTS01 语言学导论 Introduction to Linguistics DTS02 英汉对比语言学 Comparative English and Chinese Linguistics DTS03 英汉双向翻译的理论与实践 English-Chinese and Chinese-English Translation Theory and Practice DTS04 基本文体翻译技能训练 Translation Skills for Different Genres DTS05 英汉双向口译的理论与实践 English-Chinese and Chinese-English Interpretation Theory and Practice DTS06 翻译综合能力培训 Integrated Translation Skills DTS 1: This module is the foundation for the rest of the modules, so it's pretty important. I like the male teacher who taught this module, because he's very structured in his way of teaching and it's easier to absorb the materials given. The homework given is not a lot when compared to NUS but I guess it's...

[Review] My Thai learning experience with TSL Chiang Mai (Thai 1)

I first got to hear about TSL Chiang Mai on IG, where I am part of the studygram community. Yes yes, call me weird, but I like to experience and learn new things, especially languages. Due to COVID, they had moved the classes to 2 options; hybrid and online class. The most enticing part was the price; 2500 baht for a month's worth of lessons, 3 times a week. This translates to about SGD102, which is very affordable! I gathered a few of my friends to attend the trial class and they were quite interested. BUT, when they heard about the frequency of the lessons, they all backed off, citing commitment issues. I pondered for a while, and when I had to clear my time off and leave to start my new job, I decided to take the plunge and try out their hybrid morning class. Thai 1 hybrid class Class intro:  The lessons were taught by Teacher Cindy, and I was the only one who is stationed out of Chiang Mai.  Lesson format: The lessons focused very much on speaking and the handouts that the...

Sh'bam Class by Pao Pao at Westgate Fitness First

Last week, I went to Sh'bam class with Constance instructed by Pao Pao. I really enjoyed myself! Pao Pao gave very good and concise instructions to the extent that I actually managed to catch the moves even though I am a very uncoordinated person! However, take note that Westgate classes are always so full of people that you have to queue up around 40mins ahead of class, which sucks when you have to rush from work. PL kept asking me
