self-taught inefficiencies. ^^

Its amazing how late people these days sleep! I just sent out a text message to a few of my friends and most of them replied. haha. whatever happen to mum's words of wisdom "good sleep = good skin & good health." Then again, i'm one of the nay-sayers myself. (:

Its 12.49am and i have to wake up at like 5.15am! But, i can't sleep tonight. Maybe it was the darn coffee i took in the afternoon, maybe it was the 10 hr sleep i had the night before, maybe its my body clock. Maybe its just me - lacking in discipline and not absolute enough with myself. So, challenge my limits i do.

Anyways, did some studying again as usual and i read this potion of my textbook that promptly got me brewing a cuppa of caffine-induced-drink for myself.

And i quoted from my textbook:

1) The predicate of the sentence which modifies a noun is in the plain from. In the case of Na-adjective sentence, ~da becomes ~na. In the case of noun sentences ~da becomes ~no.

And i reached out for my caffine drink.

Not knowing what the above was trying to tell me, i went on to the seond part.

2) Nouns, which are various elements of the sentence, are picked out of it and can be modified by it.

Then i almost spit out my caffine drink. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS 'IT'???? What "IT" are they referring to? What is the textbook not telling me?? Ha! I know, its daunting me for not getting myself enrolled in a langauge school. (which i did before and i had actually studied this chapter of my textbook then, and yet i am still rendered clueless. talk about effective teaching :P )

Well, i think the textbook needs to be enrolled in a language school too- an English language school. Specifically, a school that imparts to one how to communicate effectively to one's readers and the art of writing simple and strightforward sentences. (: Or maybe, i should go back to learning English to understand the textbook.

Which is which now? Gosh, i need my caffine drink and my sleep. ^^

I think its just me :)
