Day 7: chatting, friend, birthday

It's been a long time....


So yeah, every time I want to write something here, there were always some things up.....from the silliest to funniest I even forgot already what those were.
Sometimes I think I'm scatterbrain that way....

Anyway today is my birthday, I'm officially older (not that I'm not old XD) but I'm happy! Last night right at 00:00, my family came to my room with a chocolate cake & candles. My room smelt like burnt candles for a while but at least we ate the cake outside. But actually I was chatting with my cousin at the time. She's getting married next year and asked me to help her choose a gown from the designs she had chose herself. A hard task since they are all sooo pretty!!!

It seems that she has a problem choosing gown because of her soon-to-be mother-in-law. She prefers something simple yet elegant while her mother-in-law wants something....hmmm.....how to put it....elegant & luxurious I guess. I prefer her style though, I never liked too luxurious dresses. I sometimes wonder when I will tie the knot too, hahahaha~ obviously will take a long long time since I'm still happily single right now :P

Another problem is she's planning to get married by next summer & I don't know if I can make it to be her bridemaid since it's the time for my internship. I'm not exactly sure, but obviously it'll start at summer break as usual internship would do. I hope I can make it, I really want to see her in her wedding dress~


Back to birthday topic.....I got a lot of love from my facebook friends today XDD I've replied almost all of them one by one. Sounds crazy? Not for me. I wnat to appreciate all of them. Besides, I'm kinda free. Kinda.

And tonight I got another surprise: my good ol' friend Ochol added my MSN and we suddenly chat a lot about the old days and now XDD Funny how happy I am with such a simple thing. Maybe this is because I missed my old friends & he was one of the closest friends I've got when I was little.....only if you put aside his pranks. Agh....
But he's funny as ever XD some things never change I see, and I'm grateful for that.
Btw we are still chatting now but he is being brb to take a bath~

The next time they held primary school reunion again, they have to invite me!


As for now, as I write this entry, I'm also reading the 2009-2010 catalogue of GIHE, my soon-to-be school in Switzerland. I'm trying to choose which subject I will take. I think this catalogue is a bit different from last year's. I've noticed there are less subjects to take for PG students, which actually is advantageous for me, I was confused for a while of which subject to take. I only have minimum 36 credits but there are much more credits I have to take, just because there are a lot of subjects I wanted to take. With less subjects available, it's easier for me to choose.

I hope I won't fail any class. The school fee is expensive, VERY, so I have to do my best. JIA YOU!!


Speaking of studying, I think I want to complain about laoshi again. Once again I said she's too demanding!!! And she forgot which part I have to learn & memorize, so what I has studied last night was almost, ALMOST ALL, useless. Hhh......but what exactly I can say? She's not a young woman, she's my mom's age. If she's forgetful, then it's the work of nature, and she's an elder to me so I can't get angry no matter how annoyed I was.

Well, not exactly :P

I did protest at her. She gave me too much zuo ye!!! Writing a letter, making 13 zhao ju, memorizing about 35 vocabs (and what I've memorized are the ke wen), plus memorizing a short poetry by Li Bai!!! Huh, I was up until 3 AM just because memorizing the ke wen.....granted taht I love Li Bai's poetries but still....
Then during class today what she told me to do convo with were the previous ke wen....argh!!!!

And like I said, I can't do anything about it.

If I tell this to ShinyIslandMan, she probably will scold me again for being so passive & "too polite to someone who take advantage of you". Uh-huh, I know that. But it' smy nature & it's a habit that hard to change.

I'm glad I've decided to write a blog, I really need a place to let out all feelings kept within this heart-mind-soul that I couldn't let out.




I'll call it a day for now~

Day 3: noise, strawberries

Good day


I woke up late again. I really need a stronger alarm I think. And I have a weird dream too, involving 2PM.......dorks are annoying me even in my dream XDD


Anyway, interesting things happened during today's mandarin lesson.

When i was arrived, there was lao shi's friend who was being treated with acupuncture by her. Then she moved to lao shi's room so we could start the lesson.

Half an hour later, Andre, a high school student who is also lao shi's student, came joined us.

Then the next -door neighbor, I don't know what happened, but it sounded like they were arguing and with a very loud voice too. And from somewhere, I don't know from inside the house or outside, there was a mandarin song being played. Probably a karaoke video or radio. Then when lao shi's friend came out of the room to the bathroom, the dog inside the house started barking. Hearing that, the poodle outside was also barking.

When the fried decided to go home, lao shi has to go out since her friend's house key was inside lao shi's car. Of course, the dogs were barking again when they heard their noises. It was soooo noisy!!!

As if they weren't enough, when lao shi was outside, the phone was ringing too!

It was utter chaos!!! So much noise & so many things happened at once Andre and I started to laugh at the situation~
And we didn't know where was nan lao shi at the time, he was suddenly dissapeared!!


After that, there was nothing interesting except Andre wrote 玉 (which lao shi said as king, I thought it was jade) upside down because he copied how lao shi wrote it for him and she was sitting in front of her XDDDD


When I got back home, I was too tired and lazy to cook steak like mom told me so. I just decided to eat pork meatballs from my yiyi.


Speaking of foods....I've ate a lot of strawberries today :P

At noon mom gave me some cut into pieces strawberries she bought from the market this morning. She also told me there was a strawberry juice in the fridge and i have to drink it before it turns bad (I drank it after my so late evening lunch).

Just now, right before I write this entry, she came with another set of strawberries.


I don't mind, strawberries are delicious and healthy......but I found it funny how much strawberries inside my tummy in a day~


Oh and I got another spam message in MSN via my meimei's account. That needs-to-get-a-life-person really annoying......tsk....

I'm currently chatting with ShinyIslandMan so...


I'll call it a day~
