It's Finally Gone
I had my final exam today. And now, it's all in the past (ALMOST. I've got another week to tweak my assignment).
The exam was really tough. Much more tougher than the one we had last week. But it's definitely a taste of the real tests of the things that are awaiting when we step out into the real world of translation. As I was working out the translated copy, a small part of me was saying, "This is the world that you will be getting into in the future. So do your best, try to understand it and translate it into the target language, as best as you can. It IS the real thing."
I did my best. But there wasn't enough time to review the translated text. I think I did my best, but some parts are probably out of tangent with the original text.
I place all my hopes on the assignment that I will pass-up next week.

Evening came, and it was an enjoyable night with my sisters and their husbands, and an aunt and cousin who came by to visit. We ate at a coffeeshop nearby and our aunt went ahead to pay for our meal nearing the end of the dinner. Her act of kindness made us really embarrassed :P We the younger generations should be the ones who are paying, not her. We have to accept her excuse that she wants to get the receipt number for the meal eaten on such occasion, so that she can use it to buy To-to.
We then adjourned back home while aunt and cousin make their way home. It was rest and relax for everyone. My nieces sticked to me "like maltose sweet", commented my aunt. They noticed that my nieces are very sticky to me the entire time.
Well, I am not complaining :D At least it's official to all that I am "Aunty of Fun" when it comes to playing with my nieces :D Oh, I am also "Aunty of Surprises" and "Aunty of Prizes". It's good to know that I have laid the foundation for the girls to be comfortable with me at this age. I hope our relationship will stay this way till the day they grow up :D I hope that they will grow up with the little values I have incalcuated in them during play and chatting. I hope that if one day, they find it difficult to talk to their mom or pa about certain issues, they will be able to relate them to me instead of the wrong channels.
I hope and I pray.
