~I can't~

It has been a long time I really put my heart into writting a blog.In fact,recently I have no idea why,but my train of thoughts have all been jumbled up.It could be that I have too many languages in my brain and without proper practise,all the vocabs and verses have been all mixed up.Not only that,I lost the focus I had when I first came to Japan.When I first came,my aim was only to learn to adapt as soon as possible.And so I was busy learning and focused only on learning.Studies wise,to make friends,to live in Japan.

However,now I'm reaching my 3rd year in Japan.I've reached my goal of making friends,learning to adapt etc.But along with it I lost something as well.I lost myself and my focus.
3years here,ironically my Japanese got worse.1st of May's presentation was a disaster.I was so involved in preparing the slide shows that I didn't really prepare my speech and gave the job to my lousy-partner.On that day,I just read what he wrote and the feedback I got from my friends was that I sounded weird.It's not because the script he wrote was lousy(maybe part of it)its because it was written by him that I couldn't really comprehend well what was written and read it in a very weird intonation,pausing at the wrong places.My tutor told me and I asked other friends as well.It was quite obvious that the level of my Jap has gone down.I cried like shit in my room.

Sometimes,I just what's the point of insisting that I get to a top University.My mum never pressured me to get into one.I just want to do it myself.But I have no idea why.I think I'm the most ironic person in the world I have every known.

I can't find the focus I used to have.I think I need to do so else I'll just die of self-pity.High expectations for myself,but I somehow can't work out the right way to coope with it right now.

i stuck in this comment box for about 5 minutes now,dunno wat nice stuff to say.I'm not good with words,but i tot tat no one understand your situation better than you.

i think that language wise,u just need to go out there and meet more people.conversing more sure helps ur language,ur vocab and even ur presentation skill.

Then doing well in skool and getting into good uni is everyone's wish,ofcoz u'd want tat.its attainable,just keep ur eye on the goal and strive for it.u can do it,lien ghee!GO GO GO!

As my tannin told me, think of wat u reli wan to study 1st, then decide which uni is the best 1 for the field u wan to study.So no point getting into top uni blindly without knowing ur true goal.

I agree with anonymous. Sit down and think what do you enjoy learning. It's quite normal to lose your focus sometimes, esp you've been stressing yourself for too long. Talk to someone...

Presentation wise, maybe you can practise together with your tutor and ask her to correct your errors before the real one. (:

Take care, tweety! ;P

There is never an end to making friends and learning, only changing with every new phase of life.

So stop crying over spilled milk/speech. Chin up and start a new phase with rectification and resolution!! The sun is shining, be happy! Wake up and smell the Sakura! =.="

seriously though, it's alright to fall down sometimes. The scars we bear are signs of a fighter. FIGHT! cos you damn well know how to.

eh, you ni ar.. stress lebih lebih la h you. take a break lah. seriously. i know you're in the midst of some crazy times and everything, but seriously, take a break you know. im sorry about how the presentation went, but it's done. don't look back, but learn from it. what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger :)

i know you can make it lah, just take one day at a time. never pressure yourself, that's just unneccessary.

consider what i said to you la! a little bit of pressure is needed for you to get started and going, but excessive amount of it will make things worse. of course, i hope the best for you too. good luck!
