Freedom strikes!
FINALLY! The toughest and torturous part of all assignments had ended,which, in my opinion,ended perfectly, in spite of all the imperfections (:
All of a sudden, the sun seems to shine a little bit brighter. The birds seem to chirp a little bit louder. Footsteps seem to get a little bit lighter. Flowers seem to smell a little bit nicer. In fact, the entire planet seems a better place to live in LOL (pls ignore my exaggeration) teehee ^_^
I'm just so happy that I could fly, even without wings.
Mandarin, you can say that I hated it all throughout my life. But God seriously works in miraculous ways which we could never understand. When you pray for patience, He will put you in a situation where your patience level would pass it's limits. And when you pray to escape Mandarin, that's exactly what He would do, the opposite: to let you learn mandarin. And not just any Mandarin, but tough oh-my-goodness-gracious-please-kill-me kind of Mandarin.
Today we had had 演绎会(did I typed correctly). We were told to act out or present in a creative way what we had learn in 现当代文学, each group with a different title. My group's title is 雷雨(Thunderstorm). The most tragic love story I'd ever read. The main girl character was electrocuted in the end. And her darling bf went and ended his life. A Romeo & Juliet ending @@
Practising the acting part was indeed not easy, especially when you have occasional laughing fits, not to mention the fact that the part that I got was very serious and sad. BUT-I-COULD-NOT-SEEM-TO-STOP-LAUGHING. Something is seriously wrong with me @@. I came across an article in fb saying that a person who laughs at every single little thing is actually very sad deep inside. So I'm very sad deep inside, am I? =_= In the end, I needed to beg my friends to scold me until I cried, which they were really good at, cuz I seriously cried TT Yeah, you can smash my laptop, throw my precious hp into the sea or give me a zero in my assignment and I would not even shed a tear. But being scolded by a friend is something that I could not bear, since preschool till now(>.<!)
So I kept telling myself, "C'mon, you're doing this for God! Give your best! Why else are you doing this?" If it's not for this reason, honestly, I wouldn't even give a damn about this whole acting thingy.
BEST PART TODAY: I DID NOT LAUGH DURING ACTING!
HAHA!
HAHA!
HAHA!
I felt so blessed and fortunate, seriously. My group buddies were really nice and caring people. They knew I suck big time in Mandarin. Yet, they still put up with it and even tried adding a few more lines into the script so that I would have the chance to speak more(cuz marks will be given >.<) Indeed,God will never throw you into the ocean and leave you to drown.
We went out for celebration then! To reward ourselves, and also to celebrate Brenda's birthday!(:

Haha...Ya know, sometims I would ask God, "Why let me learn mandarin, knowing well that I hated it?" Mandarin in university and mandarin service church(I hv to learn to adapt reading bible in Mandarin). I mean, to be fair, why can't others learn language that they hate too? Why just me(>.<)? Get what I meant?
It was always why, why, why and why?
Actually, till now, it's still why? LOL
But despite it all, despite all the grumbles and my complaints, I knew, deep down, that God's plan will always be better than mine. I just have to learn to obey and trust, and all things will be fine. (:
