February sucks.


Triste List

1 academic paper presentation

1 huge project proposal
1 huger research project
1 even huger field project
2 majorly sucky group assignments
1 French test
1 oral phonetics test


That last one lasts only 5 minutes but takes 5 years to learn and practice. Phonetics is bad enough. An oral phonetics test in a soundproof room where no one can hear my tortured screams is even worse.

@ Putra: Thanks for the encouragement, bbku.

@ Flash: Oh TRUST ME it's not. It's not your regular a-e-i-o-u stuff! We're talking weird isolated sounds made with the tongue, lips and glottis in a million positions.

@ Ray: No, I'm probably not. Heck, I didn't even know I was invited.

@ LIZ: Linked! Meet you at the saus poh soon! XD

@ Flash & Izan: You kinda have to constrict your throat. It's not about words, really. It's about accents. Try saying "Better than that" in a really thick Brit accent. The glottal sound is heard in 'better'.

"Be'ter"


@ Putra: On hindsight, I think that's the easiest. Grrar!
