About littlemisstrotter

Yet to come up with anything creative. For now, let's just say that my family name is not 'trotter'. I think of myself as a globe trotter, a world citizen. Here's to documenting my life, my thoughts and observations. I'm hoping to do so in different languages, English, Mandarin and Malay. Will see how I fare.

失眠

两个小时前,我感到很累。但是现在我一点都不困。我的身体是很奇怪。 如果超过某一个时间,而我还没睡觉,我可能睡不着或者睡不香。 刚才,我去看了一个人的blog.他写的中文和英文都很好。我很羡慕他。我希望以达到他的汉语水平。每天写日记是一个提高语言水平的方法。所以,我每天要在这里写我的日记。不好意思,我的文章肯定有很多错。朋友们,如果你们可以读汉语的话,请帮我改。 今天, 我的心里不太平静。可能,我觉得我的汉语进步很慢。而且,现在我觉得我每天没有时间。我想要很多事情。但是,我感到每天没有时间。其实,我觉得我平常都浪费很多时间,做很无聊的事情。 我觉得我最大的问题是我平常都睡不香。 不是做噩梦,就是睡觉的时候我的脚和胳臂非常麻木,而且很疼。关于,第二个原因,我没有办法。我从小到大都有这个毛病,看医生都没有什么用。我无可奈何。 好了。今天到这吧。我现在要试试睡觉。
