update at last

i've given up trying to blog regularly. seems like most of the time i'm only blogging bout work and school. boring! :P well, things haven't changed. most of my time is still occupied by thinking about what 2 do for my assignments, and what to do in class with my students. so it isn't exactly anything real exciting. haha...

i've been doing some recordings of people talking - including myself. and it tickles me to hear how different our voices come across in those recordings. i have like a higher-pitched voice than i normally do, irene says i sound cute. hahaha. i hope i'll finally be able to record something 'useful' - meaning one which i can actually analyse. it's turning out to be more challenging and tiresome than i thought!

next month is going to be BUSY BUSY BUSY - ALL the deadlines for the assignments are going to be in Oct, and i have to prepare exam papers too at work. i wonder how i'm going to ever find enuf time to do everything. which is why i'm not supposed to be blogging :P

anyway, sept is a dry month - no public holidays, no school breaks, nothing - except the midterm break in UM. but it doesn't feel like much, coz i still have to go to work everyday. oh well, i guess it's better than having no break at all from uni. i'll definitely be looking forward to the Raya break even if it means i'll be studying the whole time. can i just fast forward to December? (reminds me of the movie 'Click')

and all of a sudden, i notice myself being more absent-minded these days. i wonder why. perhaps because my mind is always wrapped up in sth else (like trying to figure out assignments and teaching plans) or mb i'm just getting old. hah.
