Semantic??? Syntax ???

I'm having my study week right now, but I've lost my study effort and inspiration. 'sigh'
Next week Thursday is my HBT 213 semantic and syntax paper.
I met my friend in library last few days, she was a diligent student and hanged out at library to find all the books for revision.
I saw the study effort and inspiration was write on her face.
Suddenly, I felt very tension and I have an impulse to run back my home to study hard.
I used to act out of blind impulse when I was small.
After that moment, I made my mind clear and think what have I need to do in this study week.

People always said "no point to study hard, must study smart"
I wonder what is study smart, how to get back my study motivation???
ya... perhaps I will get back my study motivation one day before the exam start...
At that moment, I will start to regret everything...
For anyone who enter university/colledge, must pay more attention on lecture...

Translation ??? Linguistic ???

I'm a student of University Science Malaysia and majoring in Translation and Interpretation.
I bet you'll ask me the same question once heard my major courses such as "What languages you have learned in this course?"
Normally, people will automatically relate the word "translation" with "languages".
I'm not going to contradicting the relationship of these two words, but what I want to make it clearly expressed is there are differences between "translation" and "languages" in my course.
University Science Malaysia is the only local university which have offered this course.
I'm not sure whether the private university have offered or not. But, I'm not promoting my course at this moment. Haha...
For your information, this course is study about the translation skills include method of translation, the culture of source text and target text and etc.
The most challenging part is interpretation part. Why?
Have you ever imagine that you are sitting beside the president of America and the president of China in order to interpret their conversation ? Sounds great right...
BUT... IF you interpret the wrong information to that 'big person'... you are in deep water over the mistake you have done...
Back to the "translation" and "languages", what I want to mentioned is the people who study translation not meaning that the people have already learn different types of foreign languages. Of course they can study any foreign language if they desire to learn it.
But, it is not an easy thing to learn a foreign language such as Japanese, Spanish, French and etc. It may takes several years to expert a foreign language.
Most of the freelance translator, I believed that they are very expert in two different languages. This is the minimum requirement... and the good news of Malaysian is we are able to do the translation more than two languages.
I'm not trying to make any criticisms on it...
I'm only sharing my opinion and experience at my blogger...
I hope my sharing points will bring you some benefit and guideline ...

That 'DAY'......

I'm sure everyone have an unforgettable day... including me...
But my unforgettable day was awful and extremely bad... why???
I remembered that day is 2nd October 2008...
At night... there was an incident had happened on me
I remembered that day I went to hiking at Falim moutain with my friends at the morning...
We had visit several famous places in Penang and also enjoy the beauty of nature...
After the journey, I went back my house...
At that moment, I felt very tired and I decided to get into rest after I go to bath...
Once I have settled down myself, suddenly I felt myself cannot breathe...
I was thought it just will happen for a while only, I went to drank a glass of plain water...
Unfortunately, it's became serious than before... I quickly ran to make a phone call to my parent but they didn't answered my phone...
I was started nervous and crying ... I even hard to spoke out any words because it makes me unpleasant... when I was make a call to my darling, he also gets shocked suddenly...
Finally, my brother was sent me to the 24 hour clinic...
The doctor quickly told the nurse brought me a nebulizer and gave me an injection and also a cup of medicine... The doctor acted very professional and he safe my life from the hell door...
He tolds me that I didn't take good care to myself... and he also tolds me this is one of the gastric symptoms...
I have a strong feeling about life... I'm very appreciated that I'm still alive...
I want to say thank you to the people whom love me and care about me so much...
I'm starting to take care myself from that day onwards...
I hope anyone who is viewing my blog must take good care to yourself so you won't be regret...

^Penang Hill (Bukit Bendera)^

I went to Penang Hill in 1st October 2008 which is the first day celebration of Hari Raya.
I realized that how worst that the management of Penang Hill.
It is totally hopeless...
It's not worthy to spent RM4 by travel the funicular at the railway station only arrive the half mountain... as the result nothing inside there expect a small garden...
I had been there before since i was young, but the memory inside my mind is not clear... i just remembered that my father brought me and my younger brother go to Penang Hill and we had fun there...
My advice is not going to the famous place when holiday...
You will get suffer sometimes like me... haiz...
