Study Break

I just realised that I have not updated my blog for quite sometime. Dunno wat exactly I was busying about lately, hahaha. Anyway, I should be studying for my finals now but as usual, so bored. So thinking of writing something, anything here first as a break.

I am pretty happy these few days coz my HSK (汉语水平考试)got good result. A few moment after I know my result, I suddenly realised one thing. It seems that those things that I did in a relaxing, no pressure condition, most likely can get good results - obvious example is this HSK thingy. FYI, I joined this test not because that I urgently need it for work or as an entry requirement for further study. I joined just for the purpose to know where my mandarin standard is or as Fonny says is bcoz of 'iseng' (just for fun) :D

Thinking back, actually a lot of things that I do on 'iseng' basis actually materialised. Like going for a walk-in job interview - I got one of the job by that means and it was the most lasting job that I had ever been. It was quite unexpected coz although the job was still quite related to my study but the industry was totally not what I ever thought of.
On the contrary, those that I prepared whole-heartedly for, just couldnt land that job.
Sometimes it really feels like a joke...

But of coz, those iseng things that I did, I also put some efforts in it. Well I wouldnt want to waste RMB250 into the drain to test my mandarin standard without putting any fight ;p or maybe the no pressure condition has enabled me to absorb more. Anyway, I am glad for the timebeing. I think I wouldnt want to join the high level HSK anymore. This intermediate one is enough, I dun need if for anything anyway - yet. So why waste the registration fee on that, hehehe....cheapskate in action :)

Ok then, gotta back to my books now....
