English Learning Journey

My English learning journey have always been a slow and painfully journey. Born and raise in a chinese speaking family. Unlike other's parents, my parents did not read bed time story, as such i did not get a lot of contact with this language. Since young English have been an alien language which I fear of. 

In my school days, my result for my English subject have always been last in my class. Resulting a drop in interest in the subject. My result for my O's Level allows me to go to a neighbor Junior College. However I have chose to go to a Polytechnic thinking that i will never take any English subject anymore. 

Thinking that English wasn't that important, I did not put in much effort in studying it. Everything changes after i got a placing in National University of Singapore. During my National Service I would read newspapers or magazine whenever I am free. Getting a band 2 for my QET is kind of a bitter sweet, knowing that it will be another chance for me to improve my English, hoping that i can finally speak and read proper English.
