My English language learning journey

From young, I always knew my English wasn't good. I was often criticized by my family and asked to read more books. However, I felt that as long as I could bring my point across, it was sufficient, so I always ignored what they said.

In secondary school, with the help of my family members and English teacher, my grades were volatile. I could go from just passing in one term, to A1 the next. This never really bothered me except during O levels when I scored C6.

Since I did not do well for English, I decided to go to a polytechnic. In poly, English is not strongly emphasize, teachers would not penalise your report for language. Furthermore, a trick I have learnt to tackle plagiarism was to simplify your language to the most basic form. Therefore, for my poly course, there was no improvement for my language.

Now coming into university, I realized that the standard of English that I am at is not enough. I could not write anything without someone to proof read for me or guide me in what I should write. Therefore, while ES1102 is a prerequisite for my other modules, I am also glad that I am here to learn something new and refresh the stuffs that I have learnt but hardly practiced.

About me

Hello~~~

My name is Yina and I'm 21 this year. My major is computer science and I chose that because during my poly course (financial informatics), I was introduced to programming and found it intriguing.

My hobbies includes watching anime/variety shows, reading comics, staring into space and online shopping. I also like playing games like pokemon and sims.

I am very picky when it comes to food. There are a few types of food that I don't eat or avoid, but spicy food is something I can never take. It upsets me when people try to convince me to eat it by saying that its actually not that spicy.
I love to eat fishball, but only the fresh kind. My favourite currently is the fishball manufactured from BoBo company. I really love to eat dessert type of food and when I go for buffet, more than often, I would start of with the desserts.

I am a pretty territorial person, if there is food that I have claimed as mine, nobody is allowed to take it without permission. Trespassers will be prosecuted! I also hate it when someone lies on my bed. I would kick that person off and change my bed sheet covers.

I don't really know what to say since I don't have much preference in  many things so bye~~~
