"Yes. Two more subjects to go, that are Mathematics B and Physics. Then I will bid farewell to high school."
It's really hard to say goodbye when the moment comes.
Out of topic.
I have been blogging for few years but get more active recently, get motivated by my family and friends. Meanwhile, I wish to record all the happenings in my life, am too lazy to write them in alphabets and words in my diary, so I choose to blog. Well, what was the date for my first blog post in my life? Wait, i should check at the blogger dashboard since I am still using the same account. N'ah this is the oldest blogpost which I can find.
I went to school 2day. I needed to attend the band training. We trained for an hour. The senior member taught us mant things. A sorching sun on our head...... SOOOOOOO HOT!!!! After the training, we went for a meeting. I reached home at 12 noon.
My beloved mama came to Miri 2day. She brought many 'pau' here, got vegetable and meat 1. To me, I prefered vegetable 'pau'. My sisters prefered meat 1. She oso made some 'kuih'.

Yes obviously there are so many grammatical errors. To be honest, I am not really pro in english writing but am trying to improve it! After all english is a vital language as we define and officially agree that English is International language. Here, I need to specially thanks my parents for sending me here one year earlier for my own sake. So far I don't think my English has improved. Someone in Miri just said I still speak Malaysian English, with stronger China-Chinese accent.
I agree.
Well, back to the topic. Blog. So far, I've changed my blog url for four or five times due to some reasons. I can't remember the first blog url name that I had, but the most recent one, which was used when I was Form two is actually part of my nickname. 'clarrie' My uncle used to call me 'clarrie' instead of clare and always added some 'beats/rhythm' after it, for example:
clarrie clarrie qi bong bong. I was like... WHAT?!
Then, I used http://with-footprints.blogspot.com for one year, just changed the blog url to the one I'm using now few months ago. Simple and straight forward,
http://clare-chua.blogspot.com . And you will know the blog's owner before you enter the site! Haha.
Talking about the language that i should use for blogging. Please give me some advice! Born as a
Malaysian Chinese and has a mother who was
a Chinese language teacher, I am confident enough to say that my Chinese writing skill is much more better than my English writing skills. I love Chinese, maybe it's just because of my mother. She encourages me to learn Chinese and advised me not to drop Chinese for my Form Four year. This is what she said:
Never give up on Chinese. You are a Chinese and it is a must for you to learn the language. It doesn't matter how good your grade or standard are on this language, you just need to learn it.
Yes, mom is right! When I was about to make the decision before Form Four started, I also asked for my father's advice: do accounting or Chinese. And he said, Chinese.
:D
Once again, a big thank you to my parents! <3
The transformation of my Chinese writing skill. A very distinct difference. The first one is written in 2008 and the second one is just few days ago.
让你遗忘 又让你回想我让你困扰 我也让你疑惑
只要你说话 带点风雨中的平静
我或许得到嘴里的苦咸味
What's on my mind when I wrote this?!
And read this post:
好久不见,你好,阳光
The difference is just clearly shown!
So, which language should I use for blogging? Come on guys, give me some advices.
If I blog in Chinese, my Aussie friends complain: Are you expecting me to read Chinese?
If I blog in English, you guys need to endure my English writing skills and sometimes you just cannot get the right meaning haha.
I have a suggestion, what if I blog in dual language. Oh dear it's so time consuming. I don't suffer the pain doing translation thinggie.
Then, what else can I do? Leave me some comments and thank you!
以上重要却没那么重要的直接省略。重点是:用英文还是华文呢?
身为一个马来西亚华人,再加上老妈是华文导师,自小受的就是华文教育;所以我可以很有自信地说我的中文程度的确比英语程度好多了。哪哪我没自负啊,我非常肯定很多人都是这样的。
同时在英文单字英文语法的漩涡中挣扎。回想以往写篇英文文章都得纠结好几个小时,写出来的东西虽不算垃圾但应该也可以拿去循环了。老妈一直鼓励我不要放弃中文,当时的苦口婆心。还列出了几大要素:第一、你得学中文,因为你是华人。第二、我不管你考试分数怎么样,
最好是及格,你就是得学华文。说实在的我压根儿没想过放弃华文,主要是因为台湾作家
蝴蝶是我的偶像!
在到国外之前写的文章和到了国外写的有鲜明的对比,很多时候直接把形容词量词省略掉;也很多时候忘了这个字有没后鼻音有没翘舌。脑部严重退化;嗯嗯必须趁假期好好恶补以下蝴蝶seba的书。
回到正题。
用中文还是英文呢?双语?哦拜托,翻译的工作的我不在行,尤其是翻译中英文。
该怎么帮呢?给点意见,我感谢。
Anyhow, I'm ready for Malaysia's super hot weather! (It's summer here, hot enough!)
nawww. See ya!
