Backlog... backlogs everywhere. Woke up and my wall clock said it was 7:30 so I went back to sleep but then a short while later my phone alarm which I set for 10am rang and made my half-asleep self go "huh?" Turns out during the night my clock battery must have died so my clock which said it was 7:30 was lying to me > > And it feels like I got cheated of 2.5 hours because suddenly it was 10am and I had to get up.
You know, in my family everyone usually has their phones for 3+ years before they switch to a new one (except my sister who just had to get the iphone ==). Usually we don't buy them and we just get a phone for free when my mum needs to renew her contract every year. However this year when we got the new phone which was the samsung galaxy express, we asked dad if he wanted it since everyone else had gotten a new phone already but he said his was alright (it was an older nokia).
He wanted to give it to my cousin in China but I was doubtful his phone would be okay until next year so I asked to make sure he didn't want it (he said no). Funnily enough, a couple months later and his phone is now well and truly dead. I have no idea what happened but it won't even turn on anymore and according to mum it's because he downloaded an app onto it which was too large so the phone went crazy but I don't know.
So now for the first time in a long time we actually had to buy a phone (if we disregard the iphones we bought). He bought a samsung galaxy S4 mini which cost almost $400 because he wasn't fussed on what phone to get. I know you won't believe me when I say this but the main reason I asked for an iphone is actually because I'm lousy with technology and I thought that I would have difficulty operating anything else. This is also because I've had to use my boss' samsung galaxy S2 countless times and I still suck at it. I really wasn't joking about not being able to use it because now my dad is having issues doing certain things on his phone and asks me for help and I'm just like what on earth is this I don't understand O_O Although my old phone was a samsung (not galaxy) they really have changed it a lot.
I feel kind of sad because although I can still understand japanese when it comes to reading it or listening to it, if I have to speak anything or construct sentences I suck so much. It's pretty sad when after all this time I can't even come up with basic sentences anymore and to think I actually did speaking and writing in the HSC sigh. And when it comes to human interaction it's speaking that's the most important but that's my weakest point. It's easier to understand words and understand what others have already written but composing and linking things yourself is another story...
I guess this is beccause JLPT doesn't test speaking and my tutor and I were both like YESSS (because she knows I dislike it and get nervous) but now I'm thinking this is my doom :/ Anyway I found some interesting accounts on twitter that do english and japanese tweets in one to teach people some japanese. I found this one user's tweet in particular funny but I have to admit they are odd because they all seem random and out of context. I think the japanese sounds more funny than in english because they have different *feels* to it. Sorry I can't explain :S
Anyway I found another account who posts both japanese and english and I was replying to their question which was "do I have any chinese followers?" and then it started a conversation :D It's actually kind of fun because even though my conversational japanese sucks because I don't really remember my sentence structures too well I think this will be a good way to practice again yay ^^
