Thanks everybody for the encouragements :D
hell week is finally over...
can't wait till weekend and getting wasted hahahaha
it's exciting that we're starting to learn verbs in Japanese!
we can talk about a lot more things now
but that means more work and revision at the same time...
ganbatte!
went to Japan Club's Atsu Atsu Night~ the food was quite nice...there was tonkatsu, teriyaki chicken and rice balls
good that members get them for free :D
and it was nice seeing Lin-san, Basque-san, Shum-san and Li-san there
I have this special feeling every time I bump into a Japanese classmate on grounds
it's like back in high school, when I see the same people every day in small classes...
this just makes me happy.
:)
a super hilarious Japanese tv show (a Japanese speaking English) WATCH IT!!! i still laugh even though it's like my 500th time watching it
ok...i think i should start commenting on other people's blogs and replying comments...
but god i took 3 midterms, 2 really tedious long labs and had minimal sleep these 2 days...don't i deserve some rest and more preferably some SLEEP first?

work work work
This has been a very long week...
Work starts piling up...and I'm starting to feel a lil bit burnt out.
What makes life more stressful is that everything I do for my classes is assessed (homework, lab reports, lab performances, clicker questions, Japanese participation, Japanese skits etc.) It's true that I have more incentive to learn and try harder with such a marking system...but I'm now starting to doubt if I can handle all this work and stress anymore...am I pushing myself too hard? It's just that I always think that 4 years of college aren't long at all and I want to accomplish as much as I can...
3 midterms next week ON THE SAME DAY...wish me good luck.
P.S. Looking forward to the next skit performance...quite satisfied with what Basque-san and I came up with :) thanks partner.
and a "de-stress-er" for everyone...teletubbies bring sexy back haha.

Crying In The Party
Here are two lines from a song I've kept repeating on my iTunes these few days. It's called "Crying In The Party" - a Chinese song sung by my favorite singer, Eason Chan.
或有一天 當你大了 城府 開始深了
年輕的眼淚流光了 便掛念曾經這樣了
The song basically talks about somebody letting his/her emotions out and crying hysterically after drinking a lot in a party. And the lines above mean
"Maybe, one day when you've grown up and become more shrewd and self-protective, you'll discover that all your tears from the past have dried up and you won't be able to cry anymore. And that's when you'll miss this particular moment of your life."
So true...still being able to cry or still having the courage to cry is probably a blessing.

First Blog Entry
Hello everyone...this is my first entry. Let me first make a short introduction in Japanese.
いらっしゃいませ！
わたしはヴィセント・カンです。
はじめまして！どおぞよろしくおねがいします。
(gosh this is so corny...okay, let's move on...)
Can't believe this is only the 3rd week of classes...I feel like being in C'ville for MONTHS already...However, I still haven't figured out if I'm enjoying this semester or not yet. Feeling so ambivalent - overwhelmed yet lonely at the same time. Hm. Complicated.
Taking Japanese 101 this semester. The course is very intense and we have classes and a lot of work every day - but it's amazing how much I have learned already. I've taken a lil bit of Jap before but just never had so many opportunities to speak and listen.
I'm taking Japanese because I've always been so impressed by Japanese culture. Japan is a developed and modernized country but unlike its peers, it has done so much work to preserve its traditional cultures. People still wear traditional clothings (kimonos) and foreigners all know about ninjas, samurais etc. Speaking of ninjas, I have started watching Naruto (an anime) again recently...it is just too addictive.
One of my favorite / the most touching dialogues in the anime:
Naruto: So what?! I can't die here...I have a dream I must fulfill!
Haku: Dream? Me, for my dreams and you, for your dreams. Please don't hate me. I want to protect someone precious to me, to work for that person, to fight for that person, to make that person's dreams come true - that is my dream...I will kill you.
It's just so cool to be a ninja. You live to fight for your dreams and to protect people who are precious to you. You don't need to care about any other things or distractions in life because they don't mean a thing to you and you just don't give a damn. I wish I could be the same...haha.
Okay, enough rambling (can't believe I wrote this much -_-).
じゃ、また。
(And in case Sato-Sensee is reading this) しつれいします。
