Here came the first day of my internship. Numerous butterflies started to fly in my stomach last night which made me hard to fall asleep. I cannot sleep soundly cause I was afraid that I might be late for work. The butterflies remained in my stomach till this morning.
I woke up at 8.30am when my alarm rang. My alarm ringtone is TVXQ (homin)'s summer hit, Ocean. I took a warm shower while trembling. I wore my purple shirt which was crumbled indeed. Then, I applied my new favourite product, CC cream plus BB cream on my face which turned my face radiant and glowing instantly I managed to apply a thin coat of mascara and curl my lashes before my dad got upstairs.
I ate the long-time-no-eat Mee Rebus which was bought by my dear dad. It was delicious! I tied my hair into a ponytail then before we left to the office which I am going to work for 2 months. My dad fetched me there since I had no idea where is the place.
We arrived at 10am sharp and my dad went along with me up to the office. There was only a sweet lady in the office. She gave me a file contained a stack of paper and asked me to read and understand. She said our boss would explain to me about my job when she came later. So I started to read page by page even though those documents seemed to be unreadable to me as there are many technical terms. Moreoever, they are about loan and loan is about maths. Nevertheless, I promised myself to do my best.
The sweet lady whose name is Yang got busy after we chatted together for not more than one hour while she was taking her breakfast in the office. She was very friendly and nice to me. I felt quite relaxed in the office because there were only 2 of us. Other staffs were not in the office today. Hope that I can form a good relationship with them.
My boss, Pui Pui came to the office afterwards. She looked so capable and independent. She has the image of a successful independent lady. She talked to me with her loud and clear voice, telling me not to worry as she was quite busy today but she will guide me about my job tomorrow with the presence of the computer. They also told me that I can leave earlier if there is no job for me to do. I think I shall always leave the office at 5pm cause it's my responsibility to sit in the office during the office hour.
I struggled with the unreadable stack of paper for all day long except my lunch time and toilet time. I went to eat Char Siew rice with Yang around 2pm and the sweet Char Siew made my day with a mug of hot barli. Basically, I got nothing to do today cause the computer was stolen last week and I cannot do my job without computer.
My first day of internship was rather relaxing. Hope to learn something and enjoy the process. Pray that I won't make stupid mistake and pick up new things quickly.

Middle English
Old English did not disappear overnight at the Norman Conquest but in the years following the Conquest, changes which had already begun to show themselves in pre-Conquest Old English continued. Norman Conquest of Britain by William, the Duke of Normandy occurred in 1066. The conquest was followed subsequently by the introduction of new spelling conventions. Norman scribes disregarded the traditional English spelling and simply spelt the language according to what they heard it, using many conventions of Norman French. Consequently, many changes which had not been reflected in OE spelling, or which had appeared only in occasional spellings, now emerged clearly.
A number of new consonant symbols were introduced. A new symbol g was introduced for the stops represented by OE ʒ, and the OE symbol only retained for the fricatives. OE had used f to represent both [f] and [v] whereas ME scribes used u or v the voiced sound. Similarly, z was introduced by s , though not consistently. The digraph th gradually replaced þ and ð, but ð was found up to 1300 and þ remained common until about 1400. It is to be noted that in Middle English there were separate phonemes /f/ and /v/, /s/ and /z/, and /θ/ and /ð/, where in OE there were pairs of allophones.
The letter y was no longer used as to represent a front rounded vowel, but was simply used as an alternative to i, so that ME king and kyng represent exactly the same pronunciation as do fir and fyr 'fire'. OE [dʒ] never occurred in word-initial position, only medially and finally. However, ME loanwords from French, like judge have [dʒ] in initial position.
One oddity of ME spelling was the result of change of script. Norman scribes used a continental style of handwriting to replace the insular script of OE. Continental style made it difficult to tell how many strokes had been made when letters like m, n and u occurred together and hard to distinguish between groups like un, uu and um. In such case, scribes often wrote o instead of u. Thus, we often find ME sone, comen and loue(love) for OE sunu,

只有小龙包 才能安抚我
It's monday again! I feel like hiding in my room and covering myself from head to toes with blanket but the quiz is coming and the assignment deadlines are coming. I got to wake up!
My laziness is at its peak now! I think I got homesick or I should refer it as bedsick. Suffering from bad sleeping quality... Oh my god! I can't focus on my studies whenever I don't sleep well. Insomnia can make things terrible. Trust me.
Finally I found my childhood favourite food in Tesco. Those cute mini paus shining in green just made my morning less sorrowful since I tried really hard to get up to class.
Let's fight for this week then I can enjoy the next week!
May will be a busy month full with assignments, activities, shopping and concert. Taste the salt and sweet and endure it, go through it and laugh till the end.
Dear me, please be tough!
