Time-off

You know what's the best part of being one of the very few who speaks foreign languages in M'sia??

It's the fact that you are one of the very few and the nation acknowledges it.

So, when there's a huge-ass international thing going on, count yourself in.

First, you'll get a very polite invitation letter and then, you accept it.

..and I suddenly feel so important..

I mean come on, one minute I'm a vain undergrad and suddenly, I'm with the national archives??

I'm a little amazed. Seriously.

And when I thought I couldn't feel any more important, they handed me a key.

 ...to a room in The Equatorial.

WHA-?? I get a room??

I know the international delegates get rooms. I know the secretariats get rooms. I know some of the higher positioned staff from the national archives get rooms.

I GET A ROOM????

FOR A WHOLE WEEK???

Man.., this feels..erm..different. 

I might only end up having to talk to delegates from Spanish speaking countries who probably already speak perfect English.

I'm typing this right now on the bed and I'm still not quite believing it.

I definitely feel good and will be even better if those who once told me or my mom that I will end up becoming a nothing with a language degree find out.

This probably ain't anything to most people but for me who tried to prove to unconvinced people about the importance of language or the relevance of what I'm doing in this place, this is something beyond big. This is huge gigantic indescribable.

Anyway, this means there's not going to be any updates for the whole week but this room comes equipped with wireless internet connection. So, I might just take some time off from rolling on the bed from one side to another and blog!!

Hope you girls have a great week ahead. Mine already is.
