Children are known as a fast learner compared to adults, making them to hold an advantage to learn a few types of languages in just one shot.

Bizarre, yes?
While we were a baby, we would say cat instead of 'kucing' but still we grow up being the low-rated English speaker(note to self).
What a lame that I still have difficulty in dealing with this international language.

Looking back in this life, I decide to list down my problems..

    People are hardly know what makes mastering English are deadly important. This make them got no points to acquire the language.

2. Cultural norms.
    We live and grow up in a society that produce barricade with English language. Besides, the native speakers are really stuck to their Mother tongue without any considering in the future of their new generations.

This is among the biggest challenges for me in mastering English as a second language. The walls I built inside seems to have no ends but I need to put it my self in order to survive in this insidious yet alluring world.

Miracles start to happen when you give as much energy to your dreams as you do to your fears.

The New Me

Hola, friends! Does not matter who or where you are, let's enjoy the extreme contain of my brand new blog. Welcome!

The new me. First of all, I really did not know my own self back then. Sometimes I lost my pace on the journey towards future. The world seems to look down on me and the feelings of inequality embraces me tightly. New place. New friends. I had to face this myself who doesn't own any confidence. I rarely believes in what I am capable of.  However, I decide to accept all these hardships with an open arm. Just follow the flows. Not long after, I realize. Those people and everything that surrounds us on this present, make us who we are today.

I am bless with this big circle of friends and families who are always there for me and support me to grow up into a better woman. Living in the midst of high achievers ain't all waltz. Whenever I felt like giving up, my parents will always give me their words of wisdom. Although their words may be deep but somehow never fail to hit my head straight. I am so thankful for having such a great parents compare to those unfortunate children who don't even know their own parents. As a good daughter, turning their dreams into realities are my long life journey. I want to make them proud seeing me as their eldest children. For today, I can only say. Thank You So Much. Frankly, I am not good with words nor a poetry. But, I do have a BIG heart. I hope it will grow big enough to let me treasure the most important thing for me. Families and friends. I need to be strong as I want to protect their happiness. Using my witty brain, everything is possible. It may sound childish but that's the truth.

Nobody is perfect. We all make mistakes. The only difference between man is on how they accept their mistakes. Wise people tend to learn from theirs and others wrongs. We count our ages as the years are passing but did we really grew up? Reflect on ourselves. Embrace our wrongdoings and have courage to face the consequences.  Besides, I learnt to appreciate every little, subtle things in my life. Just because it is small, doesn't mean it is not important. I do not want to be a person who always missing those tiny things in life as the clock make its turn. 

After all these obstacles and hardships, I have found a new me. A person who have confidence to show her true self and be able to carry responsibilities. The one who wants to wear the crown, have to bear the crown. Even though the learning is still in progress, I have become more bold and brave to face my new semester in TATIUC.

That's why I am ready to 'make memories you know you will never forget'!
