Alas !

It was like a few days ago a classmate's English notes made me understand that I'm still 100000000...000 miles far from being okay in English. When my friend went through her notes, we found some words n phrase, that we had never ever heard of n couldn't believe that is English. One Example is "Alas!" . err......"What on earth's that?!" I thought to myself as soon as I noticed that Mars Language. It was not until on that night when I looked up the powerful online Dictionary that I understood what it means.

a·las ( P ) Pronunciation Key (-ls)interj.
Used to express sorrow, regret, grief, compassion, or apprehension of danger or evil


err....... It's okay, it's merely one single word that I duno.
Then what came next was...

"eureka" ,the another word that I hadn't even heard of.

eu·re·ka ( P ) Pronunciation Key (y-rk)interj.
Used to express triumph upon finding or discovering something.


Thanks to the lovely notes that it's just Day one.....

There were indefinite freak vocabularies if you say so ?.

Facing a barrage of alien words which I duno, all I could do is----Sigh.

Anyway, I wanna thank this classmate for opening my eyes.

There's nothing special today. Which is why I write about things happened days before. Hope there're more things to say in the coming days.
